 Lilly

 
 

Hi!  I'm Lilly!

I was born around April of 2008.  My foster mom found me scared, dirty and hungry under a bush.  I've had a much better life since then.  I always have enough food and water and the house is really warm.

I love to be petted and to roll over and have my belly rubbed.  I enjoy playing with strings.  I would prefer a quiet home maybe with an older couple or a family with older kids.  I'd prefer not to be with a lot of other cats.  I have been in foster care for almost two years and nobody has been interested in me.  I am too afraid to go to the adoption events.  That is a hard experience for any cat and I get really stressed out.  So, I hang out at the foster home and nobody gets to see what a sweet cat I am.  Please consider giving me a chance.  I would love a home of my own.     

My adoption fee includes my spay surgery, deworming, FIV/feline leukemia testing, vaccinations and other vet care that I've needed while in foster care

 Sophie


 
 
Meet Sophie!

Sophie is an extra special cat! One very cold and snowy night in December of 2008 she found her way into the warm basement of her foster mom's home. This was certainly a surprise but she seemed to be in need and was welcomed. She was happy to find some food and a clean litter box.

Sophie was likely born in the winter of 2007. She is very sweet, friendly and social. She loves people as well as dogs.  She is very affectionate towards the dog in her foster home.  However, she is a dominant cat and can be a bully with other cats.  She gets along with some but not so well with others.  She does well with children. 

Sophie loves to be on your lap and has very soft fur.  She has a minor skin condition, diagnosed as "dermatitis".  She receives an injection every three months for this.  This injection is only $18 and the vet hopes that the condition will go away at some point.

Sophie's adoption fee includes her spay surgery, FIV/leukemia testing, vaccinations, deworming and other veterinary care that she has needed. She is ready to find her forever home immediately and hopes not to spend another year in foster care.

 Sidney


 
 
Say HI to Sidney!

 Sidney is a very cute orange kitty. He was born around October of 2008 and is the brother of Simon. There were five orange brothers and together with their mama, they survived the harsh winter as tiny stray cats. In the spring, the family whose home they had made their own decided that mama and her three litters of kittens needed to find their own homes. Sidney and his brother Simon came to a foster home.

 Sidney is the sweetest and most gentle boy.  He has a tiny, soft meow.  He is shy but loving and longs for attention from his foster mom.  He is a sweetheart.  He would do best in a home without small children. He gets along well with other cats and should do fine with friendly dogs as well.  Sidney's adoption fee includes his neutering, vaccinations, FIV/Feline Leukemia testing, deworming and other necessary vet care. Please consider making this wonderful boy a part of your family today!

 Cody


 
 

This is Cody!

Cody was born mid March of 2009.  He was living with his mother and five siblings in very dirty conditions.  All were flea and mite infested.  Cody is all black with a white spot on his chest.  His fur is very soft and sleek.  He was the smallest in his litter and is a wonderful cat.  When he was a tiny boy, he was always the first to run up and want to cuddle.  He still loves to cuddle and is definitely a lap cat.  He also loves to play with toys.  Bring out the laser pointer and he becomes a crazy maniac. 

Cody has heard that black cats don't get adopted easily and is finding this to be a harsh reality.  All of his siblings have been adopted but he remains without a family.  When he arrived in foster care he was only three weeks old and is now an adult.  He wants people to know that he is a wonderful cat and is just as special now as he was when he was a tiny kitten.  He is very good natured, loving and playful.  His foster mom describes him as the perfect cat!    

Cody's adoption fee includes his neutering, deworming, vaccinations, FIV/Leukemia testing and other vet care.  Cody hopes to hear from you soon!

 Chloe


 
 

Please check out Chloe!

Chloe came into foster care with her six brand new kittens.  She was terribly thin, covered in fleas and riddled with ear mites.  When you pet her all you felt was her spine.  During her time in foster care, she has put on five pounds!  You can see the change in her "before and after" pictures.   

Chloe was one of many cats at a home that were not being properly cared for by their owner.  She was likely born in the spring of 2006.  Chloe is friendly and is not shy around visitors to the home.  She is a total lap cat and also likes to roll over to have her belly rubbed.  She is a talker but not in an annoying way.  She just likes to tell you when something is going on.  She has a sweet and soft meow.  She has been responsible with her scratching and enjoys not only the sisal rope post but the cardboard scratching pad. 

Chloe would do best as the only cat in the household, with another very tolerant cat or with her son Cody.  Chloe tends to be a bully with other cats and wants to show them that she is in charge.  She would do well with children and in just about any other situation. 

Chloe is available for adoption immediately.  Her adoption fee includes her spay surgery, FIV/Feline Leukemia testing, deworming and vaccinations as well as all of that other vet care to get rid of those nasty parasites!  Chloe would love to have a new start in life in a wonderful new home.  She has been waiting a long time in foster care.  Please consider making her a part of your family!

 Gabriel


 
 

Make a friend with Gabriel!

Gabriel was likely born around 05/06/09.  This beautiful boy was found very scared, very hungry and very sick at about four weeks old.  His foster mom's coworkers were out for a walk on their break and this little guy came screaming for help out of the tall weeds.  At first they thought he was a rodent of some sort.  He was far too young to be away from his mommy but somebody apparently dropped him off to fend for himself.  His eyes were matted shut and he was covered in diarrhea.  Now, Gabriel is happy and healthy.  He is a very lovable boy and likes to curl up on your chest.  He is also very feisty and likes to play hard.  It is believed that Grady is his brother as he was also found the same day dropped off in a different location and everything seems to indicate that they are brothers. 

 Gabriel is neutered, tested for FIV/feline leukemia, dewormed, vaccinated, has been treated for ear mites and a respiratory infection.  All of this is included in his adoption fee.  Please consider giving Gabriel his second chance at life.

 Gracie


 
 
Meet Gracie!

Gracie is an older cat, estimated to be between five and seven years old.  She was found fending for herself outside, which is no place for a declawed cat.  Gracie is very quiet and affectionate.  She loves to have her head and chin scratched.  Gracie has a "collapsed" ear on the right side which causes her no discomfort but is a little unusual looking.  She also suffers from arthritis in her right knee.

Gracie needs a special home that will pamper her and not be turned off by her slightly special needs.  She would do best in a quiet home without small children.  She just wants to quietly relax and sleep on your lap.  Gracie has been spayed and declawed.  She has been vaccinated, dewormed, tested for FIV/Feline Leukemia and treated for fleas as well as an ear infection.  All of this is included in her adoption fee.

 P.S.  Gracie is not very photogenic. She closes her eyes every time the flash goes off.  It was hard to capture her sweet face but her foster mom did the best that she could.

Update:  In February of 2010 Gracie was diagnosed with early stage kidney disease but hopes to live a long life on prescription cat food.

 Simon
 
 

Meet Simon!

Simon is a handsome young boy.  He was born around October of 2008 and he and his four orange brothers survived the harsh winter outside with their mother.  In the spring the family who his mother had adopted decided that there wasn't room for her and her three litters of kittens.  It seems that she got pregnant and gave birth at every opportunity since showing up at their house. 

Simon came to a foster home with his very adorable brother Sidney.  Simon loves the company of all cats and seeks out their companionship.  He is an ambassador of good will with all cats that come and go from his temporary home.  He loves to be pet and will purr very loudly when given attention. 

Unfortunately, Simon is not a fan of visitors and so finding him a home has been difficult.  He likes to hide when he hears strange footsteps coming his way and so nobody sees what a fantastic and friendly cat he is.  He needs someone who will put their faith in him and give him a chance to be their buddy.   Simon is hoping that his opportunity will come soon.   He has been in foster care for quite a long time. 

Simon's adoption fee includes his neutering, FIV/Feline Leukemia testing, deworming, vaccinations and other necessary medical care.  Please consider making this handsome kitty a part of your family today!

 Gidget

 

 

Gidget

Gidget is an adorable Gray gal.  She found her way to her Foster home on a cold night last November, waiting by the door to be let in.  She let her foster daddy pick her up right away.  She is about a year old as of November 2009.  She would likely fit into just about any family.   She is very good with children, loves them and does great in a chaotic environment.  Her foster family currently has 4 children under the age of 5 and they all love to hold her, squeeze her, and love her all too much.   She would be smarter to RUN away at times, but she is much to laid back and doesn't want to be that far away from people.  She follows her foster mom around the house like a little lost puppy.  She loves to be petted and will purr very loudly when the kids are sleeping and she finally gets a chance to curl up on her foster mommy's lap.  Her favorite pastime is chasing her own tail, or the other cat around the house.    

 Her adoption fee includes her spay surgery, FIV/leukemia testing, vaccinations, deworming and other veterinary care that she has needed. She is ready to find her forever home immediately and hopes to hear from you soon!

 Emma

 
 
Adorable Emma 

Emma is a gorgeous orange and white tabby.  She was born the beginning of March 2010.  Emma is a special needs kitty.  She was turned over to the rescue with information that her leg was broken and the owners could not afford to treat it.  She was just over a pound and eight weeks old when she came to the rescue.  When she got to her foster home it was clear that both of her back legs were affected and she was unable to walk.  An exam the next day revealed that Emma had nerve damage to both back legs, which can be irreversible.  Her prognosis was very uncertain.  She was splinted to help keep her legs immobile while she healed.  However, about a week later she developed sores on her feet and the splints had to be removed.  Shortly after, it was discovered that she did not have proper circulation in her feet and within about a day, they were dead.  Surgery was scheduled to amputate both rear legs at the tarsal joint.  However, by the date of the surgery Emma had made remarkable progress and was able to walk and run like a normal kitten.  It was decided that the surgery would be put on hold.  As of today, about half of her "foot" is healthy on both sides and the vet hopes that there may be some remaining healthy tissue under all the dead tissue.  It is hoped that the remaining healthy tissue will allow her to get around well.  Emma will not be available for adoption until her dead tissue is gone.  She will be spayed after that.   

Emma is very sweet and very playful.  As you can see, she has the sweetest face you have ever seen.  If you cannot adopt Emma, please consider making a donation to help cover the cost of her care.

Ella

 
 

Introducing Ella

Ella is an adorable pint sized gray tabby.  When she was rescued her foster mom thought she was a kitten and was surprised when the vet said that she was an adult at less than five pounds!  She was likely born in the spring of 2009.

When Ella entered foster care she was covered in diarrhea and had an eye injury.  It took a few months for her eye to heal and she has some slightly noticeable scar tissue on her right eye.  Ella came from a home with over 70 cats who were terribly neglected.

It is believed that Ella is Emily's sister and they are wonderful friends.  They most always cuddle up together on the cat tree or a carpeted shelf.  Ella is quiet, gentle and very sweet.  She tolerates other cats exceptionally well.  She would do well in just about any home.

Ella's adoption fee includes her spay surgery, deworming, vaccinations and testing for FIV/Feline Leukemia.
