A Sweetheart!

Omar is a lovebug! You'd think with all he's been through that he'd be very skittish, but NO! He's a very friendly and sweet guy! When he was first rescued from the streets, he was in quite a sorry shape. His rescuers took him straight to the vet where he was treated for several issues, neutered, and vaccinated. Now, other than being FIV+, Omar is good to go and will make someone a great companion. He can either be the only cat, and receive ALL the love, or he can be with another, mellow kitty, preferably one who is also FIV+ (we can advise). His foster mom says he is very easy and friendly. Please consider adopting this wonderful boy, especially since he is currently residing in the garage (they made him a "bachelor pad" there), but he seems really happy. "When people come over, we always take them to meet him and he likes them all. He loves it when you pet him and hangs out with you, i.e. snuggles with you if you lay on the carpet with him. He even gets mad when you leave!"

Our Young "Grandpa Kitty!"

|
Come Meet Mighty Montana !!!!! He has such a cute face! At first, we thought he was feral but he was only just fearful. We are pretty sure he had a home at some point, was abandoned or abused and ended up navigating the streets all by himself. He does like to play, and appears to enjoy petting more on his head vs. his body. For some of the volunteers he knows and trusts, he rolls over and shows his belly wanting to be loved and rubbed. We found that since Montana loves to protect all the younger kitties, we have made him our honorary “Grandpa kitty”, even though he isn’t very old. He seems to prefer the company of younger kitties, but gets along just fine with most of our adult kitties. Our wonderful team of socializers are working with him, and he has gone from being isolated, to now being out, cage-free, in a room with other kitties. Montana is FIV+ and needs no meds. This condition is easily managed as long as the kitty is kept indoors.

Willy is a very handsome tuxedo boy. He is all sweetness when he is not shy. He will be shy at first until he gets to know you. Even though he's a senior, Willy is all boy—he likes treats and to be pet. He also loves to play and pounce on his toy mouse, as you will see in the video on our website--yes, he's still got it! He gets along pretty well with the other cats, but likes to be the boss. He has a shy feline girlfriend, Katie, and they are very bonded. It would be an easier transition if they could be adopted together.
Willy has never known a real home, and has only lived at the rescue. He needs a loving, caring and understanding person to give him a happy home for the rest of his golden years. He's more than ready for adoption or fostering. Click on a picture below to see full size. |
Katie is Willy's girlfriend. Adopt together if possible.

Once a feral senior cat that no one could touch, he now asks for love!

Trouper is SPONSORED by Joelle D. Thank you!!
Even elderly cats need a loving home! Many special needs cats are often forgotten or overlooked. If they are given a chance to shine, they blossom with love. With good care they can live many more years.
Meet TROUPER. Once a feral senior cat that no one could touch, now asks for love! TROUPER, a very senior cat, was rescued from the streets. He was dirty, thin, angry, and had everything wrong with him--he has FIV, was emaciated, filthy fur from flea dirt, an inflamed and painful mouth, few teeth, a fungal infection, and anemia. After surgery and in rehab for about a year, his progress has been very slow. YET, thanks to loving care from his vet and her staff, Trouper now not only eats like a horse, he LOVES being stroked and petted ! If an experienced adopter were to apply for a foster or adoption, just to give Trouper the opportunity to live out whatever time he has remaining in the comfort and love of a home, it would warm our hearts.
