Darling Girl!
|
Dazzle, aka Snowflake or Kitty, has been through a lot. Found living in a dangerous area, she was rescued by a nice woman who has fed her for about a year. Kitty lived by the LA Metro/ Freeway area. The woman would bring her food each day. On rainy days, Kitty was fed under an umbrella. The woman also got her blankets where Kitty can keep warm. Through a neighborhood website, Kitty found a foster home. Then through social media network, Kitty was adopted. We were so excited. However, couple days after adoption, the adopter learned that Kitty was ill and took her to the veterinarian. Kitty stayed at the vet for 5 days. Unfortunately, the adopter no longer wished to keep Kitty and abandoned her at the vet. Due to personal circumstances, the foster woman could not take Kitty back. Kitty is now at her third home, resting and awaiting upcoming vet appointment with LifeLine For Pet's veterinarian. We are not sure how long it will take Kitty to recover, but we would love to find an adopter for her. Kitty is understandably shy and will take some time to trust. However, she is easily held and plays with toys. She should probably be the only kitty in the house.

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.
