Update on Wormy: In the quiet time at the shelter with only one or two volunteers, Wormy's personality comes out. He will "call" to people to come and pet him (pet, not pick up). He has a very small voice, so you must listen for him. He loves to be petted. He is very comfortable when one of the older cats are with him. He alternates between rubbing the cat and then the person. He would probably do very well being adopted with another cat he is accustomed to be around. He has shown a great deal of affection for Little Gray, who is also a shier cat. It is something to consider when looking at Wormy. Whether he gets a wonderful, patient home or ends up being a "shop cat", I do believe he must have a companion to help him with a change. We have plenty of quite cats with the same personality who would love to get out of her and be his companion.
Wormy is a nice cat who likes to keep to himself, that is unless you are another cat. He came here as a small kitten, abandoned at a Vet clinic that we frequently use. We don't know what his life was like before, but we know he likes people okay, but doesn't fully trust them. He will sit in the same room with you and will not run and hide. But he doesn't want to be picked up and is not real crazy about being approached. We are trying to figure out the best placement for Wormy.
He has always been inside, so would not do well outside. He would be an excellent inside shop cat. He wouldn't bother workers or customers. He is not one who wreaks havoc so your items should be safe. He would also do well in a house where someone would just like a cat, but not a cat that bothers them. Yes, we know you are out there. He is a cat and he will do the job should some cricket or even something larger decides to come into your house.
If you feel like you have the place for this guy to get out of the shelter, please contact us and let us know. If you feel that you could give him enough time to make him become more social, please let us know about that too. We want a life that Wormy and his adopter would be happy with.

Additional adoption info
Our kitties are ALWAYS spayed/neutered and vaccinated before we put them up for adoption.
The adoptee will need to fill out an application and be approved, then they will be contacted regarding setting up an appointment to meet our available cats and kittens. If we feel it necessary, we may request a home visit. We want to make sure the adoption is a good fit for both owner and pet.

More about this rescue
Floyd County has the 3rd largest intake of cats in the state, including all Atlanta-area shelters. Floyd Felines was created to stop the weekly euthanasia. We pull sick cats and young kittens out of Floyd County Animal Control, now known as Public Animal Welfare Services, and take them to our private shelter where they are able to get necessary attention. We also pull hundreds of healthy, adoptable cats and kittens to be transported to Northern rescue partners to have higher chances of adoption. This work opens kennels at animal control so that it is no longer required to euthanize for space.
We also have a working cat program, where we match up “feral” cats to approved, outdoor homes where they can control the mice and snake population. These cats are usually some of the first to be euthanized at shelters, so we are thrilled that we are able to provide hope for their futures.
