Wonder's Story...
Wonder was born to Winnie, rescued from a grocery store parking lot when she was VERY pregnant. It was a difficult birth, and the umbilical cord was wrapped around Wonder's back leg -- one kitten had to be euthanized, and one was born dead. We had to soak Wonder's leg in epsom salts and massage it; that went well, plus a "sugar wrap" which drew fluid from the leg did a good job also. The leg is normal now, but she also had ear problems as a baby and now has a permanent head tilt. In spite of all this, she is muscular, fun-loving, active and light-hearted. She loves to run and play, and adores all toys she can tote around. She loves to sleep at your back in bed, and she purrs so loud we call her "Rumblefish." She will be two years old in August.

About Our Rescue Group...
Cat Rescue, Inc., saves cats slated for euthanasia at overloaded shelters. No cat is adopted out prior to spay or neuter. 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.
