Persephone's Info...
| Breed: | Calico | Color: | Calico Or Dilute Calico | Age: | Adult |
| Sex: | Female | Hair: | Long |
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Persephone was born in May 2011. Last fall we pulled her and her 4 kittens from a high kill county shelter in Allegan. Within a week mama came down with the deadly distemper (panleukopenia) virus, and all 4 kittens died. Horribly sad but a reality of rescue work.
Persephone became mildly ill and after a few days of fluids she recovered (most otherwise healthy adult cats will survive distemper). She was very hand shy from the start and it has taken months to get her to warm up. We transferred her from foster care to our adoption center and she is continuing to make progress socially. While not a cat who will greet you upon entering the room, she does enjoy tummy rubs and chin scratches! She also adores our cat mountain cat tree, and can usually be found cozied up in one of the tunnels
.Persephone was once a burden to someone, not important enough to spay before she became pregnant, and then dumped into a shelter with her 4 helpless babies. She has survived much and now we want to begin her final (and happiest) chapter by finding her a loving home.
All of our kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites.

Rescue Group Info...
Our mission is to improve the lives of feral cats through education and action, following the humane methods of Trap-Neuter-Return, and thus treating every feral cat with the compassion and respect they deserve.
The Humane Answer: Trap-Neuter-Return
If you've ever seen cats in an alleyway eating out of dumpsters, or blending into the wild habitat of a wooded area, and wondered about their condition and how you could help them, read on...
Some of them, having been lost or abandoned, have found their way to a colony where they can survive amongst other felines. But the majority live out their lives as feral, or "wild", cats. Being either born in the wild and never having had human contact, or reverting to a wild state after having been abandoned; the great majority of feral cats cannot be tamed. Generally, attempts at taming or adoption of ferals prove to be fruitless. Our efforts can be realized one-hundred-fold if we do the greatest good for the greatest number of ferals by stopping the cycle of reproduction.
Communities can help these forgotten cats by providing them with food, water, shelter, and spaying/neutering services through the "Trap-Neuter-Return" full management program.
Briefly, TNR consists of the humane trapping, sterilization, and return of feral cats to their familiar habitat to be cared for daily by dedicated volunteers. Kittens under eight weeks and/or tame cats are placed into adoption programs.
For more in-depth information on TNR, please visit our links page to visit the Alley Cat Allies web site or the Feral Friends web site.
We will be having an adoption event at Brooknelle Pet Resort, 4600 Knapp NE. Every third Saturday of the month from 10am - 2:00 pm.
For every kitten that is adopted another kitten will have a chance at a healthy happy life. Kitten season has been especially busy this year and we have been at capacity for some time now. Sadly this means people who want to help the cats and kittens in their area are being turned away because of limited resources.
The adoption fee for cats $85.00 or two for $125.00. They come spayed/neutered, tested for FIV and FeLV, wormed, treated for fleas and is up to date on his/her vaccines.
