My story

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

Meet Calzone. This former feral boys journey has been long but well worth the wait. He was trapped and planned to be a typical TNR, but when we found out he was FIV+ we wanted to give it a try to see if this feral boy had love to give.

After months of trial and error and two foster homes, we were close to giving up and returning him, but then his foster heard meows at the door, and noticed he would play with the foster’s own cats through the door. That’s where we discovered his kyrptonite: foster siblings! Cal has been an amazing foster brother to over 7 cats! He loves to play and chase them around when they’re alone, and loves to share churu treats together. Calzone still needs time to adjust, and on occasion will swat and hiss if he feels cornered or overwhelmed, but he has learned a gentle tap is enough and isn’t aggressive unless pushed. He will learn to trust you with time, patience, and a bucket full of churus. Calzone needs to be adopted into a home with another cat. There’s a very good, sweet boy underneath that mean lil mug!

Calzone is about 5 years old, neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested FIV positive and FeLV negative.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting a cat is a big responsibility and commitment, but it's also one of the biggest acts you can ever do for an animal in need.

Each and every cat in our care has their own story and background. They are all fully vetted, fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative (unless otherwise specified). Because of this, our adoption fee is $95 for one cat over 1-year-old or $155 for 2 and $110 for one cat under 1-year-old or $195 for 2.

Our approval process includes a vet reference (personal reference if you've not had a vet in the last 5 years), virtual home tour, and landlord approval should you be a renter.

The completion of an application does not guarantee approval for adoption.
