My story

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

Ginger cat alert - sweet, spicy, silly and sociable. Q*bert is an affectionate guy and LOVES attention. He's not shy about demanding it either and can be quite vocal with his humans. Q*bert, who's about 3 years old, was found in a quiet neighborhood where he was being fed by the residents. Originally thought to be feral, he was slated for TNR, but after trapping this sweet kitty, we realized he definitely had a family once but was abandoned. We believe he should be spending his days indoors with a person/people who would shower him with the attention he needs instead of fighting with the neighborhood cats, dogs, and wildlife for his next meal. His foster family says he enjoys getting head scratches and responds with a nose nudge or a thankful kiss on the hand or arm. This boy is a good size too, and perfect for filling laps and giving hugs! We think with a quick adjustment period, he could happily join a home with another cat, however, his reaction around dogs has not gone well and may not be as successful. Q*bert has spent a long time in fight or flight mode and is looking for a patient, new home that can help him feel comfortable, safe, wanted and loved. Could that be with you?

More about this rescue

Homeward Bound WV, Inc., is a unique, non-profit organization dedicated to saving cats whose lives are in jeopardy and in enriching the lives of people in Preston and Monongalia Counties. We are a 100% foster organization.

We believe in:

Rescuing cats in need at local kill facilities, rehabilitation of sick and un-socialized animals, and retrieval of orphaned and abandoned pets, so that they might ultimately be adopted into permanent, responsible, loving homes.
Providing a low cost spay/neuter program (through the generosity of the Peterman Foundation and reduced fees at local veterinary clinics) for the people of Preston and Monongalia Counties for the purpose of reducing unwanted births and unfortunate deaths of animal offspring.
Providing nurturing foster homes where our cats are provided an enormous amount of love and any necessary medical attention that may be required to insure they are in good health before adoption.
Evaluating all of our cats for temperament and personality. This helps us place them in homes that are well suited to their needs and to the needs of their future owners.
Educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog or cat into their homes and lives.
Educating school-aged children about stray, homeless, and feral animals and how they can help with the kind treatment of these animals in their neighborhoods.
Working with area shelters and other rescue/humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.
Facilitating the relocation and transport of homeless pets from kill shelters to other rescue organizations.
