My story

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

Meet Sonny, the handsome orange and white gentleman who has faced life's challenges with grace and resilience. Born in December 2015, Sonny first joined our family in December 2020, and his journey since then is nothing short of inspiring.

Sonny's story took it’s first turn when he was rescued, thin and sickly, from a dog fighting ring. He spent several months under our care, where he not only regained his health but also tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). However, his FIV status never deterred us from finding him the loving home he deserved.

In February 2021, a compassionate young couple embraced Sonny's FIV+ status and adopted him, assuring us they would provide him with all the love and care he needed. Sadly, due to family conflicts, this promise was broken, and Sonny returned to us in August.

Sonny is not just a cat; he's a real sweetheart and a big, lovable teddy bear. He thrives on companionship and will quietly follow you around as you go about your day, settling down next to you when you take a seat. His endearing 'chirps' are his way of saying, 'I'm here, and I'd love your company,' and his purrs start the moment he receives your attention.

While Sonny has a mellow and easy-going demeanor, he also has a playful side that will warm your heart. Watching him play is a joy in itself. Recently, we learned that Sonny has kidney disease, but he's stable with a special diet to maintain his health.

Sonny has shown immense gratitude for the love he's received, and he deserves nothing less than a happy home and secure love for the rest of his life. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this incredible survivor and gentle soul, Sonny is more than ready to become a cherished member of your family. Give him the chance to fill your life with love, warmth, and companionship like no other.

Additional adoption info

We offer "Meet & Greets" by appointment. To schedule an appointment to meet our cats/kittens please go to peterzippifund.org and submit the online adoption application form. A link is located on the right-hand side of our Home Page. Once received, an Adoption Counselor will contact you within 72 hours or less to book your appointment.

Adoption Fee: $125.00

Our fee generally covers everything your new feline friend needs to start their journey with you:

*Spaying or Neutering: Ensuring the well-being of our cats and controlling the pet population.
*Microchipping: A permanent identification method to keep your furry friend safe.
*Vaccinations: Up-to-date vaccines tailored to the specific needs of each cat.
*Fecal Testing and Deworming: A comprehensive approach to intestinal health.
*Viral Testing (FeLV/FIV): Conducted on all adults and most kittens based on their origin.
*Comprehensive Blood Work: For many of our adult cats, ensuring their overall current health.

In addition to all standard treatments outlined above, many of our cats and kittens have received costly treatment for other maladies that result from abandonment or starting life on the streets.

All donations over the adoption fee are tax deductible.

We have an adoption questionnaire to fill out prior to being approved, and a personal interview with an adoption counselor is required; at our discretion, a home visit may be required. Adopters agree to keep cat(s) indoors only and to not declaw.
