Story
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: CHONKA TRUCK was transferred to F&F during a TNR operation when he was found to need time to rehab. TEMPERAMENT: CHONKA TRUCK was initially thought to be semi-feral, but he now welcomes gentle pets and treats from caregivers—on his own terms. This big buff and white boy will lean into cheek and head rubs if you go slow and give him time. He lives in a room with another kitty companion at the Santa Fe Cat Cafe, but he tends to keep to himself. He would probably do best in a quiet home with no small children or dogs, and a nice windowsill where he can take a nap or watch the world go by.
