Story
About Turbo - A kitten with SPECIAL NEEDS: Have you ever been overlooked for something you couldn’t control? Turbo understands! She’s a kitten who’s a little different and easily overlooked, but she would love it if you'd read ALL about her. Please….. Turbo has Manx syndrome, a condition that affects her spine and means she doesn’t have control of her bladder or bowels. She needs someone willing to help her follow a consistent schedule, feed her high-quality food, and give her supplements that keep her system running smoothly. You'll also need to help her go to the bathroom—something that sounds intimidating at first, but becomes just another part of the day with a little practice and support. But here’s the REAL story: Turbo is joyful, smart, and incredibly loving. She adores people, gets along beautifully with other cats and dogs, and is deeply connected to those who take the time to know her. She’s an observer, thoughtful, and curious! All the things a normal kitten is!! Turbo loves to play with friends, chirp at birds in the window, and then snuggle up for a good nap. Despite the way her back legs move, she can still run, climb, and play just like any other kitten. She’s alive today because someone believed she was worth saving. That someone out there would be willing to love her. Are you the person to give her that chance? Contact Unleashed Pet Rescue to learn more about Turbo—especially if caring for a special kitty like her is something you’d consider.

Yo&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Chops.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Yeah&#44 I look like a tough guy. Scarface energy. Alley cat vibes. Iandamp;#39;ve spent most of my life on the streets&#44 so I know how to handle myself. But hereandamp;#39;s the thing... beneath this rugged exterior? Iandamp;#39;m a total softie.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Now that Iandamp;#39;m living the good life at Great Plains SPCA (think: cozy suite&#44 soft blankets&#44 regular meals-5 stars&#44 would recommend)&#44 Iandamp;#39;m learning that people arenandamp;#39;t so bad. In fact... I kinda like andamp;#39;em. Head pets? Love ‘em. Ear rubs? Yes&#44 please. Lap time? Donandamp;#39;t mind if I do.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My purr? Itandamp;#39;s low and steady-like a thunderstorm on a summer night. And I make some of the finest biscuits this side of the Mississippi. My paws never stop kneading. Ever.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;So if youandamp;#39;re looking for a cool&#44 mysterious&#44 street-smart guy whoandamp;#39;s secretly a cuddlebug&#44 Iandamp;#39;m your cat. Come meet me&#44 I might just let you in on the soft side of Chops.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Respectfully yours&#44andlt;br/andgt;Chops

Hi there&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Pete! Although Iandamp;#39;m a little shy at first&#44 once I get comfortable Iandamp;#39;m a total lovebug! If you give me head scritches&#44 I will butt my head into your hand and beg for more! I also fancy myself to be a man about town&#44 and love to explore my surroundings. I do startle easily and would prefer a calm&#44 quiet home without young children. If you are wanting a buddy to hang out with and demand your attention&#44 letandamp;#39;s get acquainted!

Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Frida! I was living on my own as a community cat with a kindly person caring for me. Since Iandamp;#39;m certainly not andamp;quot;feralandamp;quot; and love the company of people&#44 she brought me to the shelter so I could find my forever home. Iandamp;#39;m a little shy at first&#44 but once I get to know you&#44 I love to sit in your lap and purr! I would do best in a home without small children or dogs. Are you looking for a gentle friend to keep you company? Just ask for Frida when you come in&#44 and letandamp;#39;s get acquainted!

Hi there&#44 human friend! Iandamp;#39;m Barry-a blue-eyed&#44 four-year-old Siamese with a heart full of love and a purr that could melt your stress away. Iandamp;#39;m the kind of cat whoandamp;#39;ll greet you with a soft meow&#44 rub against your legs&#44 and hop into your lap for a cozy snuggle... but hey&#44 Iandamp;#39;m also a guy who knows when he needs a little andamp;quot;me time.andamp;quot;andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m super friendly and sweet-really&#44 I love people! But like anyone&#44 I can get a little overstimulated now and then. When that happens&#44 I just need a quiet space to recharge. Because of that&#44 Iandamp;#39;d do best in a home with older kids (8 and up) who understand that sometimes I just need a moment.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;d be totally fine as your one and only feline&#44 but Iandamp;#39;m not opposed to roommates. If youandamp;#39;ve got another calm cat&#44 I can get along with them as long as you go slow with introductions. Iandamp;#39;ve got good manners&#44 I promise.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am FIV positive&#44 but that doesnandamp;#39;t define me. Iandamp;#39;m healthy now&#44 and with regular vet visits&#44 a good diet&#44 and an indoor lifestyle&#44 I can live a long and happy life-just like any other kitty.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My dream home? One with gentle hands&#44 warm laps&#44 soft blankets&#44 and kind hearts. If youandamp;#39;re looking for a loving&#44 soulful companion who just needs a little space now and then&#44 I might just be your guy.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Letandamp;#39;s meet-I think we could be something special.

Hey! Iandamp;#39;m Mandy-and yes&#44 Iandamp;#39;m a one-year-old orange tabby&#44 which basically means Iandamp;#39;m full of personality&#44 a little chaos&#44 and a lot of charm. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m playful&#44 curious&#44 and very into being involved in whatever youandamp;#39;re doing. I especially love perching on shoulders-yep&#44 Iandamp;#39;m that kind of cat. If youandamp;#39;ve ever dreamed of having a little orange parrot-cat&#44 I might just be your girl.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m super friendly and love attention&#44 but Iandamp;#39;ll be honest-sometimes I get a little too excited and forget my manners. Itandamp;#39;s not personal&#44 I promise! I just need a home that understands that sometimes orange cats run on pure enthusiasm. Because of that&#44 Iandamp;#39;d do best with kids over 12 who can respect my boundaries and give me space when I need it.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;If youandamp;#39;re looking for a hilarious&#44 affectionate&#44 slightly mischievous sidekick who will keep you entertained and occasionally sit on your shoulder like a pirateandamp;#39;s best friend... well&#44 youandamp;#39;ve found me.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Orange&#44 opinionated&#44 and one of a kind-andlt;br/andgt;Mandy
