Story

Captain Jack Sparrow is an 8-year-old Domestic Shorthair tabby who is up to date on vaccinations and neutered. He is an indoor-only cat who still has all his claws.Captain Jack Sparrow is:• 💖 A sweet, loving "love bug" and lap cat• 👶 Patient and gentle with children• 💊 Managed for IBS with daily oral medication• 🩺 Diagnosed with a situational heart murmur• 🏠 Neutered, vaccinated, and microchippedJack is a very sweet and patient cat who loves to make biscuits and snuggle. While he is a bit timid, he is very patient and does wonderfully with children. He has a form of IBS that is well-controlled with daily oral budesonide; when he receives his medication, his frequent vomiting is not an issue. He also has a heart murmur that only appears during times of high distress, such as vet visits. Prescription food is another management option, though I am currently unable to afford that route.💰 Rehoming fee: $0

Meet Ziva!At around 18 weeks old, Ziva is spending her days in a foster home, where her foster family says she is every bit as sweet as she looks. She’s a snuggly little girl who loves affection and is more than happy to curl up with her people when it’s time to settle in.Being in a foster home has given Ziva the chance to experience everyday home life while she waits for a family of her own. She’s at such a fun age, still very much a kitten, but old enough that her sweet little personality is really starting to shine.Ziva’s adoption fee is $90. She will go home spayed, FIV/FeLV tested, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed, treated with flea/tick prevention, and microchipped with her registration completed by us.If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate kitten with plenty of snuggles to give, Ziva may be your girl.Apply to adopt at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org. 🐾
