Gringo & Gomez's Story...
Gringo & Gomez would make a good pair to adopt together -- they're full of energy and keep each other occupied, running and racing up their carpeted climber. They and two other littermates were found at about age 4-5 weeks under an overpass on busy Temple Avenue in Colonial Heights near Golden Corral. They were fostered by a family with children until they were about 9 weeks old and then came to Cat Rescue for vetting and adoption. These are very loveable, kissy-face, lick-face, squeezable boys who love people and being held and petted. They like the electric blanket and enjoy tunneling under your blankets at night for a cozy place to sleep. They trill and chirp to each other as they play, and any toy or wad of paper is good for hours of fun -- they love playing with a squashed cardboard box in the bathtub and are fascinated with running water. They are VERY handsome with striking markings -- Gringo has more of a spotted look while Gomez is very stripey. You could easily change their names since they don't seem to answer to them at all at this point. They are strong, healthy and a year old, neutered and up-to-date on shots. If you're looking for super playful lap kitties, these guys are the best around!

The home organization is based in Chesapeake, managing the pet center in the Petsmart at Greenbrier Mall, Chesapeake. Adoptions number approximately 500 per year. We are a 501(c)(3)nonprofit, ALL VOLUNTEER, home foster based, no-kill organization. All donations and contracts paid are submitted to the director of Cat Rescue, Inc., in Chesapeake, Va., and are applied to food and medical needs of cats and kittens under the organization's care. The organization is committed to accepting any cat adopted from us if the owner for any reason has to give up the cat, for the rest of the cat's life; in effect, we provide a "life insurance" policy for these cats so that they never have to end up on "death row" in a shelter again.

Come Meet Our Pets...
CRI Petersburg manages the pet center at the Colonial Heights Petsmart. We respond to the store immediately for adoption interest, and we're also on station every Saturday, noon to 7 p.m. Please call to confirm and to ensure the cat you want to see will be at the store that day, since we don't bring all the cats. We normally have cats no younger than six months old. All are spayed/neutered and have distemper and rabies shots, are wormed and tested for feline AIDS and leukemia. As a home-based foster organization, the cats are treated as companion pets. All food and medical bills are paid by the foster family without reimbursement, so adopters are assured that their adoption fees go toward the care and well-being of cats in the organization, many who have staggering medical bills, or who are unadoptable and must be cared for throughout their lifetime by the organization. In general, the basic cost of vetting a normal cat without medical issues is $200-300, so the $75 adoption fee is far below what has been invested in each cat.
