Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Male Persian
Once you read my story, you'll understand why I looked so bad when I first came to Rescue. Foster mom said I smelled pretty bad, too! Yuck! I am feeling MUCH better now, putting on weight, I had a bath (Yikes!), and I really like the food here! Foster mom says I can eat as much as I want. I also enjoy having my chin scratched. That's pretty cool. Read the story of my family of 80 cats....

I lived in a home with 80 cats … and some people in Orange County. Can you believe it? EIGHTY! Animal Control was called in because the neighbors could smell us three homes away. The newspaper even wrote about us and called it a “Breeder/Hoarder Situation”. Doesn't sound really good, does it? So, these dudes came along and tagged us, bagged us, and dragged us off to the biggest animal shelter you've ever seen. We were really scared, and hissing and spitting the whole time.
From there, 30 of us made it to safety at a place called Rescue. The shelter wouldn't let the Rescuers put us in our carriers for the trip. They had to stand outside while the shelter staff used nets, and these claw thingies to drag us into our carriers. We were SO scared! Some of us went to Cat House on the Kings in Fresno, where they will be cared for until foster or adoptive homes will come for them. A few of us got lucky and went straight into a foster home. I'm not sure what happened to the rest of my family. All of us got exposed to a nasty virus in the shelter and we got REALLY sick!
I'm so glad I had a great foster mom. She spent an entire month syringe feeding me four times a day. Even when I was trying to kill her, she patiently cared for me. She wasn't always happy with me and even said a few words I'd never heard before, but she kept with it and now she loves us a LOT. Eventually, all of us realized that no one was going to hurt us here, and we really had a pretty good gig. So, we've lightened up and are really starting to enjoy life. We're being a lot nicer to our foster mom these days, and she says she's happy when we call to her when she comes to feed us. Our coats are growing back and you'd hardly even know we'd ever been sick. Looks like we're on our way to becoming healthy, happy, and ready for a new forever home! Just think, a family of our own …
