My story

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

We tried to rename him, but we still call him his original name when he came to us. Spicy Enchilada. Spicy is no longer spicy and is quite a nice cat. He came to us a couple of years ago as a stray boy living in a parking lot, so we thought he would be happiest as a barn/outside cat, so he lived at a farm with many cats. He started getting bullied by a few cats that pushed him away and he went missing for a few months. When he returned, he was skinny and practically jumped in my arms for help. He was painful when he ate and we quickly got him into the vet for a dental cleaning. He ended up having a fractured canine tooth, so that was removed, and he felt so much better afterwards. We checked his bloodwork and organ functions and it appears the outdoor life is just not for him. He ended up getting a second dental surgery a month later to remove more teeth and was diagnosed with stomatitis. His vet said his bottom front teeth and gums looked healthy and in good shape so there was no need to pull those teeth. Spicy purrs so loud, will come up and head butt you, begging for you to pick him up and to snuggle. He will fall asleep in my lap, making biscuits, and I think he will make a wonderful indoor kitty. He is great about using the litter box, loves canned food only (he likes when you make it into a soup so it's easiest for him to eat), and he is gaining weight and looking much better. He begs for head bonks and pets. For now, he is on daily medication as he heals from his dental surgery, but we are hopeful that he will be off medication when he recovers. His new owner will have to keep an eye on his mouth and get him to the vet if he has any issues. Spicy is about 8 yrs old. He is microchipped, neutered, current on vaccinations, dewormed, and tested negative for FeLV/FIV. He is a handsome gray and white kitty with green eyes. Please give Spicy a chance and complete an application at rescueangelssomd.com. His foster mom would love to talk to you about him and see if he would be a good fit for you. We love Spicy.

Additional adoption info

Our pet adoption process is thorough and efficient, to ensure we do our due diligence and choose the best fit for our animals. The adoption process begins with an adoption application to further your interest in our dogs/cats. The adoption application is non-binding and completion does not guarantee adoption. Our adoption coordinators will contact your references and contact you for an initial interview. Once approved for adoption, we will help you coordinate a visit to the foster home or invite you to our next public adoption event. A home check, interview, and reference check is required. Your family should help decide which animal is best suited for your home and lifestyle. Please remember that this decision should not be handled lightly and we expect you to care for your pet throughout its lifetime, keeping emergencies and financial status in mind. If you think there's any possibility you won't be able to give the pet the best life possible, then please do not adopt. Our volunteers are always on hand to help answer your questions and to help you choose a pet that is right for you.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster-based Rescue organization, so all pets are in a loving, comfortable foster home until adopted. We do not do same day walk-in adoptions. We have a process that all potential adopters must complete. Approved adopters can meet the pets and finalize adoption after a trial period. Please check our website at www.rescueangelssomd.com and our Facebook page for information.
