A letter describing PoundCake to potential adopters from our Founder and shelter director:
I stopped at the shelter this morning as I often do every morning before work. I fed Catalina and the other kittens. Grabbed a hoodie and went to leave. PoundCake meowed. That old raspy meow he does and tried to chase me down. He wanted petted. I stopped and kneeled down and pet him. Then I picked him up and he purred like there was literally no tomorrow.
I told him he was the bestest boy there ever could be. I knew that I had to leave then or I was never making it out the door. I turned quick and ran and he followed me as fast as his pudgy legs could carry sir pounder……. He only made it halfway up the stairs as I turned to shut the door. The look on his face “Don’t leave me…….” Crushed my soul this morning. And I was late for work.
PoundCake isn’t old. He just acts it. He is around five years old. Has great teeth! He was pulled from a colony trapping where he fathered many many children before volunteers got the colony under control. It was below freezing when I said I would give him a try to be adopted out here. One speck of kindness and he is your friend for life. He bonds almost instantly, and with each passing day the heart grows fonder. He was something to someone once and that someone was his absolute everything that he lived and existed for. Ties severed because of some bad behavior and placement outside…. I am sure of it.
Fast forward to now, rescued and vetted and slowly stealing my heart too. I hold him longer than I should. Special cats like Poundcake draw lines in the sand. Most cats when adopted are just happy they are with awesome humans and grow to love them day after day. With PoundCake if I hold him too much and cross that line, he will hate me when he is adopted. He will love his new people for sure, but will hate me for letting him go. Like he wasted his love twice in life and starting over again. So whomever adopts him absolutely SHOULD cross that line of no turning back, but never ever break his heart because he now carries a piece of mine along with his.

Additional adoption info
Once we get an approved application, we will call you to schedule a home visit. If the kitten has been fixed at that time, you can decide he or she stays! If they are still waiting for a surgery date, they will go back with their foster. No kitty will be adopted out prior to being spayed or neutered.

We are an all volunteer foster based cat and kitten rescue who primarily focuses on TNVR. That is the Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return program to over all control the cat overpopulation. When we are performing TNVR services for caretakers, we always rescue kittens, friendlies, and adoptable pets, and not return them back outside.
