HISTORY: CLARK originally came to F&F when he was facing euthanasia due to lack of space at a shelter in Southern NM. He was adopted by his foster but recently returned to F&F when she could no longer care for him. TEMPERAMENT:  CLARK is a sweet old man who sleeps most of the time. He has diabetes which is managed by twice daily injections, which he tolerates with head pats. CLARK is intimidated by other cats and dogs, and grumbles if they come too close. A quiet home with no dogs or kitties would be best for him. He enjoys sitting on a quiet lap, and loves gentle pets on his head and under his chin.  AGE:  born approx.  6/15/15  MICROCHIP #:  -4167 DATE OF STERILIZATION:  neutered, date unknown  VAX RECORD:  FVRCP expires: 6/15/21 (update pending); Rabies expires: 10/14/28 FELV/FIV test:  7/21/20, 8/11/25 neg    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: If you may be interested in adopting, please complete our online application: https://www.fandfnm.org/application.

Story
HISTORY: RAE came to F&F as a stray when it was determined that one of her eyes had to be removed due to serious infection. TEMPERAMENT: RAE is starting to really enjoy being a house cat. This pretty girl loves a chin scratch and will lean in really hard when she is in the mood for pets. When she is in play mode,  she will flip small toys all over the place and can chase a wand toy for hours.  If there's an open window she will bird watch. If there isn't, she prefers to be napping in a plush tent. Because of everything she's been through, she may take some time to adjust to a new home; but once she gets brave you'll see how playful she really is!     AGE:   born approx. 12/29/24 MICROCHIP #:  -3730  DATE OF STERILIZATION: 12/30/25 VAX RECORD:  FVRCP #1: 12/30/25, FVRCP #2: 2/2/26; FVRCP expires: 2/2/27; Rabies expires: 12/20/26  FELV/FIV test:  12/30/25, neg ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: RAE is missing an eye, but this does not stop her!
