Story
## Traveling Onyxia Traveling Onyxia’s story is one of survival, courage, and an incredible little spirit that refused to give up. When Onyxia came to Saved by Zade, she was in very bad shape after being attacked by a dog. She was hurting, frightened, and had every reason not to trust the people around her. But somehow, she knew. She knew the hands helping her were there to save her. Even through the pain, Onyxia purred. She rubbed her head into our volunteers’ hands as they cared for her. And while the doctor worked to save her, this tiny survivor made biscuits right there on her arm. ❤️ Onyxia has healed from her physical wounds, but her greatest story is the strength she showed along the way. Now she is ready for the next chapter, one where she never has to wonder if she is safe again. Estimated to be just under a year old, Traveling Onyxia is looking for someone who will promise to be her guardian, her safe place, and her forever family. Will you be the person who makes sure this little survivor is protected and loved for the rest of her life? Email adoptions@savedbyzade.

Story
Hello, my name is Water Chestnut. Yes, like the crunchy little veggie. I may be small, but I’ve got layers. I wasn’t born into an easy life. I came from a farm and was born to a feral mama, which meant people felt pretty big and scary at first. When I arrived, I wasn’t so sure about this whole “human friendship” thing. But guess what? I’ve been learning. And wow… have I come a long way. These days, I’ve discovered something wonderful: being loved is actually pretty amazing. I’ve learned that gentle hands can mean chin scratches, cozy naps, and those magical squeeze treats that I take very, very seriously. If you bring snacks, we are already off to a strong start. I’m still a sensitive girl at heart, though. Big changes and busy homes can feel overwhelming for me, so I’m hoping to find a quiet home with patient people who understand that trust is something special that grows over time. I promise, I’m worth the wait. There is one little thing you should know about me. I was born with a slight birth defect affecting my ribcage. It doesn’t stop me from being a happy kitty, but our support team would be happy to explain more and answer any questions you have. Mostly, I’m just a sweet young tabby girl looking for someone who sees how brave I’ve been and is ready to help me keep blooming. Could that be you?

🐾 WELCOME HOME! 🐾 Bringing Your New Kitty Home: What to Expect Thank you for adopting and giving this kitty a second chance! Here’s what you need to know for a smooth transition: 🛏 Start Small Set your cat up in one quiet room with a litter box, food, water, and a hiding spot (like a covered bed or cardboard box). Let them explore slowly and on their terms. ⏳ Give Time Even the friendliest cats may be shy at first. Expect 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to settle in, and up to 3 months to fully adjust. Be patient—they're learning to trust! It’s normal for cats to hide for the first 24–72 hours. Adult cats, especially, may take even longer to feel safe. As long as they’re eating, drinking, and using the litter box, hiding is okay! 🍽 Feed & Hydrate Keep food and water dishes in a quiet, accessible spot. Follow any diet info provided. Monitor eating, drinking, and litter box habits the first few days. 🚽 Litter Box Basics Show them where the box is right away. Keep it clean and use unscented, clumping litter unless otherwise noted. 🐱 Interactions Let your cat come to you. Avoid loud noises or too much handling early on. Use gentle voices and slow blinks to build trust. 🐕 Introducing to Other Pets? Slow and steady wins the race! Keep your new kitty separated at first and take your time with introductions. 🧸 Playtime & Enrichment Interactive toys, scratching posts, and window views help relieve stress and build confidence.

Story
Meet Cricket, a beautiful girl who deserves a second chance. Cricket was found abandoned on a country road and, sadly, found herself being bullied by a colony of feral kitties. She would dart out of hiding, grab a bite to eat, then quickly run back to safety. Her colony caretaker thought Cricket was feral too, until one day she spoke to her and Cricket came running straight to her, begging for pets and attention! Cricket can coexist with other kitties, but too many at once can make her feel overwhelmed. She spent some time at Constellation Cat Cafe, but the constant flow of incoming kitties was stressful for her. Cricket would do well in a home with another kitty or kitties, as long as introductions are slow and she has space to decompress and feel safe. She can be a little nervous about being picked up, but she absolutely loves being petted and will happily sit right beside you on the couch. Cricket has been through enough. Now she needs a patient home where she can relax, feel safe and finally enjoy the life she deserves. Let’s give this beautiful girl her second chance. email adoptions@savedbyzade.com
