Calico kittens & cats in Cornelius, Oregon

These two beautiful littermates have been together since birth.  They miss their elderly owner whom they spent 24/7 on her lap.  Sadly, the owner passed away a year ago and the family can't keep them any longer as they are limited to the number of cats they already own, per landlord. Yvette and Yvonne are very shy of strangers and would need a lot of love, compassion, and patience from their next owner.  Currently, they spend all their time on the adult granddaughter's bed.     They will need a calm and quiet home environment with a cat-savvy person who is retired and has plenty of time and a huge understanding of cats, preferably an older woman.  One who would be happy just to watch them from afar, at the beginning. They have the option to go outside from time to time on their own, but need to be inside only for at least 3 month period to get acclimated to their new home before allowing outside.  A Catio would be ideal, but a cat tree in front of a picture window to view their new world would suffice.  Cat scratchers are a must.   Yvonne likes playing with the red dot. Yvette comes when called. Neither like being picked up and the family respected that.  Yvonne likes light petting on the head and back and Yvette likes pets around the head and will headbutt you, wanting more.  Both were fixed at a year old and were recently vaccinated with FVRCP (treats/prevents distemper, Herpes, URI) and Rabies, in January and February 2024. They are flea-treated monthly and dewormed prophylactically. And they will be microchipped upon adoption. Yvonne occasionally gets eye discharge probably due to herpes zoster and will have eye treatment meds provided. We are asking for an adoption fee of $220 for the pair and we will deliver them to their new home.   This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances. For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM.

(This is a long one so buckle up because I have so much to say about this special girl) Lu has brought so many cuddles to our life’s for 5 and a half years. She’s a very sweet but shy girl. She’s an indoor cat that has lots of interest in looking out open doors and soaking up the sun. My husband found Lu as a small kitten, maybe 6 weeks old. She was brought home to a house of two dogs, one cat and our at the time 6 month old baby. We got Lu fixed a few months after she was brought home.   To this day our big fluffy girl likes to spend most of her time curled up on her bed in our closet where it’s quiet. Lu loves to make her presence known when our dogs aren’t around. She loves to cuddle up on the couch with me especially if I have a blanket and bed time is her favorite. That’s when she’ll talk and nudge you for pets.   Unfortunately for Lu our house has always been overwhelming for her. Although our dogs don’t bother her often, she does not enjoy their presence especially in this last year. We’ve tried pheromone sprays and taken her to the vet to make sure her health is in order. But our dogs are just very high energy and unfortunately that isn’t something we can change to help Lu not feel so overwhelmed.   Lu has always gotten along with our other cat and might do fine with an older not so high energy dog. Lu’s never had a problem with children but she has not been handled by any because of how shy she is. She has claws but doesn’t know how to use them lol. She’s always been very easy to pick up and hold.  I’d love to see Lu go to a much calmer environment where she can get all the cuddles and attention she wants, when she chooses.   Lu will definitely let you know when she’s hungry by following you around and talking to you especially if you’re close to her food bowl! She has a special blanket and small scratching post that we’d like her to take to a new home once we find that perfect place! She truly is such an amazing girl and I wish we didn’t need to find her a new home. But for her own well being we know it’s necessary.  Indoor only - rehoming fee is $40   This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances. For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM.

If you have ever had to be on a strict diet – not the “one-scoop vs. two-scoops” but REALLY - then you have an idea of what sweet-tempered Aya is going through.  At 5-6 years old she has experienced a lot of adversity and drama.  Eating was her panacea and she did that really well.  She put on the pounds due to inactivity and that made it harder for her to drop weight – I am sure a lot of humans understand!   We were called to save her.  Save her life, actually.  She lived in a meth house and her unstable environment came to a fever pitch in March when she was surrendered – not because she wasn’t loved, just loved in the wrong way.  Inactivity caused her once-beautiful long hair to be in dreadlocks and shaving took her weight down almost 2 pounds to 18-lb.  She is a “big girl” but should be (4?) pounds lighter for her health.  Despite this her blood work is good, her body is strong and she now eats an easy-to-give 3 cans of Fancy Feast per day.  No dry food.   Because her long hair was so tangled she could not walk without the hair pulling on skin so cleaning her personal areas was not an option.  She could hardly bend and flex.  She couldn’t walk without pain.  Fast forward almost a month and she is running after toys and playing which was not possible before.  She is starting to feel like a cat again as best as we can tell.   This neglect did not negatively affect her personality and she is the sweetest kitty ever.  Here are a few points from her foster family: A few things about Aya: Very sweet and gentle Loves to play with laser light She purrs loudly and loves belly rubs She would take a few weeks to trust you, but am pretty sure once she does, she will be the sweetest, most loving kitty ever.  Not good with cats, will do best as a single pet, no kids.    About her condition: Uses litter box fine She will need to be cleaned on a daily basis so her skin doesn't feel greasy. I've not seen her clean herself.  The skin on her back is still healing, she gets a little grumpy when I try to clean her back.  She likes the flaked/grilled fancy feast cans - no dry food - 3 cans a day   Aya will need someone that can be patient, gain her trust, allow her to explore the place, and give her enough attention so she feels Loved.  Her person should be willing to spend some time and effort on activities that will encourage her to shed weight.  Sometimes we all need a second chance  and this is what Aya is facing.  Can you be her person?   Indoor only.  Adoption fee is waived due to a generous donation. Home visit required.     For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM. Your information will be forwarded to the foster parent for follow-ups and meeting arrangement. Adoption fee Includes spay/neuter, microchip, worming and flea treatment, current vaccines, and negative FIV and FeLV test.

My name is Gigi. I am looking for a new loving home and someone to love. I'm sad My best friend, owner, past away suddenly. I'm soft and fluffy and love to cuddle.

-

Very sweet, but shy cat. If given time she is affectionate and overall a sweetheart. She is around 10 months old.

Dash is a fun boy who loves to play. He takes some time to adjust to a new home but once he is comfortable he will follow you around.Cats: Probably fineKids: Older or adult onlyDogs: UnknownSpecial: May have allergies, currently working on food trials

Olivia is a very shy girl that may take a little bit of time to open up, but once she does she is a cuddle bug! She enjoys sitting with her people, giving them headbutts and receiving pets. If she isn't getting enough cuddle time she will let you know with the cutest small chirps. A quiet, calm home would be best for her. She has had a few teeth removed and is on a limited food diet. Given her demeanor and the state of her teeth we think she is at least 5 years old if not older. She loves playing with a laser pointer, scratching a scratch pad, and lazing about. She also enjoys getting brushed and playing with little toys she can bat around.

Remus is a very sweet boy who was a neighborhood stray. He got tired of the outdoor life, and has adjusted nicely and enjoys life indoors. He enjoys looking out windows and treats. He is super cat friendly and would do best with another outgoing friendly cat to help him with his confidence and be his buddy. He is fine around dogs with a proper introduction and as long as they give him space. His ideal home would be an adult or older teenage kids, no young kids and with someone who is patient and willing to give him his space while he gets comfortable.Cats: Yes, requiredDogs: DependsKids: Older or adult only
