Story
Meet Miss Bunny UPDATE: November She really does miss the other two. She is showing no signs of pain or difficulty, jumping or running. She likes to lay with me, especially in the evenings. Totally a snuggles cat. This fluffball, was found huddled soaking wet and cold in the rain at the very edge of a busy highway in Pulaski County. We surmise she hopped a ride under a car and fell out. But who knows? She can't tell us. What she does tell us is she is a loving girl who has some SPECIAL NEEDS. SPCHS is very picky about all adopters to ensure the best home for each animal in our care. But Bunny has a genetic issue with her spine, it seems there is extra space or a missing vertebra. This causes her gait to be more like a hop, but it doesn't slow her down. But she will have to be watched for deterioration and perhaps limited on big jumps. She quite possibly will need pain medication thru out her life. Nothing slows her down currently playing full out with her foster siblings Sammie and Shade. Bunny is about 16 weeks and has had vaccines and flea/tick medication and wormed. Her adoption fee includes, combo testing, spaying and micro chip for ID. If you are interested in helping Bunny with her forever home fill out the SPCHS application.

Callie Anne came to the Humane society being surrendered by her humans who loved her but were unable to care for her. She and other kitties were living in a car! Horrors, summer heat is a killer!. She is a sturdy human LOVING girl. She tolerates other cats, but prefers to have her human's attention be all on her!

Story
Bandit is a stray that has been taken in by a kind gentleman. He spends most of his time on the porch waiting for his foster dad to come out and fuss over him - he craves attention. He allows his foster dad to pet him and even pick him up. He has a soft low meow and his short fur is a bit like a pelt (soft, short without a lot of fur when brushed). Bandit's huge size intimidates the other cats in his foster home. Even though he's never picked a fight (that we know of), they won't come eat until Bandit has finished eating. It is for this reason that we recommend that Bandit be the only cat in his adoptive home. Bandit has little exposure to dogs or young children so he would probably be most comfortable without either. Bandit deserves to be the king of his household, with humans to serve him and provide for his every need! Bandit is neutered and current on rabies, FVRCP will be updated before adoption.
