Story
Posted on social media and about to be hauled off to the shelter, this 10 year old wouldn't have lasted long there. Feline Matchmakers stepped in. She's a bit underweight and not spayed yet, but otherwise happy and healthy. She came with a 15 year old cat from the same household where there were also dogs. As soon as we get some weight on her and get her spayed, she will be ready to go home. We are taking applications to meet and hold her for adoption. All Feline Matchmakers cats get age appropriate vaccinations, fixed, tested and microchipped prior to adoption. Please fill in our application via this link: http://www.felinematchmakers.org. We only adopt kittens and young cats out within a one hour radius of Wilmington, NC. Occasionally we make exceptions for adult cats, but we are not a transport company. IF YOU DO NOT MEET THESE GUIDELINES, YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE REJECTED. Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3074XVJN93MG3?ref_=wl_share ##2757890##

Story
Yoda is an affectionate, playful little boy. He was born with an eye condition that causes his eyelashes to turn inward, causing irritation. The vet has plans to address the irritation when he has his neuter surgery. He loves to wrestle with his siblings, Amidala and Anakin. When he first came to the rescue, his foster day noticed how his ears curled whenever he squeezed the back of his neck which is how he earned his name. He loves to climb, explore, and chase jingle balls.  Yoda's adoption fee covers FeLV/FIV testing, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and flea treatment while in foster care. Apply to adopt at triadcat.org. Yoda's adoption fee is $200. ##2752288##
