No, she’s not a Las Vegas showgirl! She’s just a beautiful young soul who needs a forever home. But be prepared—she will definitely dazzle you when you learn how she has survived through a challenging situation, 2 foster homes, and one adoption which turned into abandonment. For years, Dazzle lived by a freeway, but was fed daily by a kind woman. She finally went to a foster home where an adopter was then found. However, after just a few days, the adopter abandoned her at the vet’s office because Dazzle was ill. She is now at another foster home while she is recovering from a digestive sensitivity. We would love to find an adopter for her. Dazzle is understandably shy and will take some time to trust. However, she is easily held and plays with toys. You just want to take her in your arms and love and comfort her! Look at her beauty and ask yourself how it is that this precious girl has not yet found a home. Perhaps a quiet home with no other pets or young children. Could your home be the one?

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.

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.

Elvis has been with us a long time. He is mostly all white, shorthair, and is such a photogenic, handsome boy! He loves treats and gets along with people and other cats. However, Elvis sprays and urinates indiscriminately, so if he could have a large, secure, outdoor enclosure along with one of his other pals who also sprays, it could work well.
