My story

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

Please contact Andrea (hatchlings3@msn.com) for more information about this pet.

My name is Lady Slipper, I am named after the rare but gorgeous wild flower that grows in the northern woods. My black shiny coat is gorgeous, so shiny it looks blue. I have a rare condition called Feline eosinophilic granuloma complex, also referred to as rodent ulcers. It is a cutaneous reaction pattern in cats that affect the muco-cutaneous junction of the oral cavity. Most indolent ulcers occur on the upper lip near the philtrum or adjacent to the upper canine teeth. I get the ulcers on my face too, but I have special meds to make it all better. I spend my days playing and lounging in the sun on my foster mom's catio. My love for plants is huge! I am a little timid at first but warm up quickly once I warm up to people and would do well with a doting human. I have never met a child so I would be more comfortable in a home with human children that are a little bit older. Check out my foster mommy's Instagram at turtlecatfoster for more pics of me!

Go meet their pets

Some of our cats ready for adoption can be seen at the following Adoption Center locations:

PetSmart, located at 12835 Citrus Park Dr across from the Citrus Park Mall. Our volunteers are onsite for adoptions Saturday and Sunday from 12:00pm to 5:00pm and will be happy to assist you with finding the perfect feline companion. PetSmart management can assist with an adoption during other days/hours, time permitting. Cats are onsite 7 days a week.

PetSmart, located at 11331 Causeway Blvd in Brandon. Cats and adoption counselors are onsite for adoptions Saturday from 11:00am to 3:00pm and Sunday from 12:00pm to 2:30pm only.

Petco, located at 13127 N Dale Mabry Hwy. Cats and adoption counselors are onsite Saturdays from 11:00am to 4:00pm only.

We have many more cats than the ones housed at our Adoption Center locations. Our cats live with foster families until they are ready for adoption and space is available at an Adoption Center. If a cat is located in a foster home and the foster has provided contact information, you can get more details on a particular cat directly from them.

More about this rescue

St. Francis Society Animal Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit 501-c-3 animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of sick, injured, and stray domestic animals as well as spay/neuter and medical services for those animals. We seek to place animals in a loving foster or permanent home after recovery and we DO NOT euthanize unless terminal illness necessitates such a decision. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, tested for leukemia/FIV (cats), wormed and vaccinated before they are adopted.
