Calico kittens & cats in Ocala, Florida

We have a happy update: KitKat is now safe with foster in Orlando but still need adoptive home! URGENT! This cat needs a miracle. Grandma is moving TONIGHT. KitKat cannot go and the family has reached out to us on her behalf. This is a problem that needs solving IMMEDIATELY. Here is an excerpt from their message: "The cat is overweight (don't know her exact weight), 9 years old, female calico. We are located currently in Orlando, Florida but are willing to drive up to wherever is needed to surrender her. We are not able to take her to Arkansas. She also does have some issues controlling her bladder sometimes. We unfortunately do not have the funds to take her to the vet either, and haven't for a while." We do not want this post to generate any negativity towards the family. We all know the feelings this gives us... but none of that will help KitKat. KitKat needs a safe plan B. She will need a vet. She has been on Purina One Indoor and she loves any canned food. She is spayed and chipped. Grandma adopted her 7 years ago. The family has said that OCAS or Pet Alliance can take her in a month, but Grandma never got on waiting list so there is no time, now.

If you sit down, I’ll be there in a heartbeat, curling into your side, nudging your chin for kisses, and soaking up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. I get along with other cats just fine, as long as they understand one important thing: I prefer to be the one calling the shots. I’m not mean, and I’m not looking for trouble, but if another cat tries to boss me around, I'll let them know I’m not the type to be pushed around. I’m sweet, not submissive — there’s a difference. If you’re looking for a loving girl who brings both tenderness and a little queenly charm, I’d be delighted to show you just how good life can be with me in it.

The sweetest mama cat who is just a kitten herself. She was found abandoned with her four babies in a hospital parking lot in a commercial area. So close to a busy road and with no street skills, it's a wonder she survived the 3 days she was out there. Our rescue got the call about this mom and we knew we needed to act quickly. When we arrived on scene we actually witnessed her nearly get hit by two cars as she crossed the street. It was 2:00 AM and we knew at that time we weren't leaving without the entire family. When we parked our truck we got out and started calling for her. Fortunately we soon heard the bell on her collar.  We were able to get her into a carrier in short order. We then set up what we call a reverse kitten cave. This is a method we use to catch kittens that are young enough to still be nursing. We placed live traps around the mom's carrier and covered her with a blanket. It took a couple hours for the babies to finally come out. When they did they began playing and climbing all around in front of the carrier. One by one we were able to trap 3 KITTENS. Never saw the 4th kitten that had been reported to us by the employees. We have gone back several times and still there is no sign of the 4th kitten. We are very hopeful that someone else found the baby and rescued it. Mom and babies seem to be in good health. She has one tiger son and two Siamese type daughters. The kittens are understandably quite afraid but they should come around with some socialization. Openly accepting applications at this time. It is our hope that someone is interested in adopting the mom. So often the mother cats are left behind while all their kittens are adopted. Mama cats are devoted and loving parents to their kittens and we feel they are some of the most deserving companion animals we know. ##2058716##

Are you looking for a baby? Stop right there and read about his baby boy. Cole was born on the streets of Leesburg Florida. His mom was a pet that someone dumped. She had likely been a "free kitten" and was never vetted. She was allowed to become pregnant and she was dumped at a colony feed station. By the time she came to us, she has three sweet kittens, about 6 weeks old. One of those was Cole. All three were boys and all three are INCREDIBLY sweet. dare we say "love hungry". They are affectionate little cuddle bugs. They do not look like it, but we think they may be part Siamese because they are all very talkative. we love kitties that talk. This kitty family was very fortunate the rescuer found them! Kittens do not live very long on the street. And mommies just keep having babies. Mom, Luna, has been spayed and tested FIV/FeLv negative. She was adopted in October! Their all black brother, Nero, was also adopted recently. That leaves the tuxedo twins, Asher and Cole. The boys are not bonded, necessarily. They are friends and would be very fun if adopted together... but hey will not suffer for missing their sibling. They have lots of friends around here and are just good with everyone. even the dogs! They are growing up in foster and we want nothing more for these boys to have amazing forever homes of their own. They deserve that much! They will repay you with a lifetime of head boops and kitty love. Warm little bodies stealing your bed space and your seat... there are few things on Earth as special a s a good cat. And we are so very excited that some lucky person will have the opportunity to share life with Asher or Cole. ##988178##
