We brought Tiger in from being outside and injuried. She is very sweet and cuddly but she does not get along with our older cat and if causes her to use the bathroom outside the liter room. We would like to rehome her so she can be happy without being attacked by our older cat

Currently located in: Standish, ME Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Garfield & Odie! Best friends Garfield and Odie love to be with each other. If they can find a box big enough for the both of them, they will snuggle together and lay there for hours. You will also find them laying in the window, on blankets, and each other. Odie is very nervous and relies on Garfield to know that they are in a safe situation. When they meet new people, they will band together and hide. As Garfield gets to know new people and places, he becomes more brave and starts asking for scratches between his ears and on his belly. Although Odie is more reserved, he watches everything that’s happening. These boys are learning that people can be safe. Please allow them time and space to adjust to their new environment. Garfield and Odie are very special boys and they were saved from being put to sleep due to their FIV+ diagnosis. These two boys have no health issues with their diagnosis. Cats with FIV+ can live long and healthy lives. There is no reason for them to be put to sleep due to this disease. We have included a couple of links about FIV so you can learn more here: https://vbspca.com/what-you-should-know-when-adopting-an-fiv-positive-cat/ https://www.alleycat.org/resources/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv/ If you think you are the right home for them, please apply to adopt him here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq8ShXPVGLfrGHlIYMk0plgI_PJxOEMdr8QItpQMXYCnluvg/viewform All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped! The adoption fee is $550. We do not accept deposits or the adoption fee until you have your new fur-members. Please Note: All animals are posted until they are officially adopted. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. Please apply quickly if you are interested. We are very quick to respond and process applications! You will be required to provide 2 non family personal references, a home video tour and a vet reference if you’ve previously had animals. Please feel free to send video to our email or facebook upon submitting an application, this lets us know you are serious and ready but also helps us to get you approved quickly. We will text and or call upon receiving your application to schedule a phone interview. You must be an approved adopter in order to go on meet and greets. This saves everyone’s time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose. Interested in fostering?

Story
Currently located in: Winterport, ME! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: eh, they may be ok with well mannered dogs but are not used to them at all! Good with cats: They are ok with other cats but prefer to be alone or with each other, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Olive & Pickles Olive (female, 2-3 years old, long fur grey) and Pickles (female, 2-3 years old, tabby) were surrendered to Whiskers Fund because their owners living situation had changed and she was unable to care for them any longer. These two girls have been together for a while now but are not super bonded. We would like to keep them together as a pair since they do keep each other company, but also don't expect that they will be snuggled up together. Pickles is the tabby girl with big eyes! She is super sweet and loves to rub on your legs and demands attention! Olive chirps to let you know she is ready and available for all your love! Both girls enjoy snuggles but do take a little time to warm up, but not long! Olive & Pickles think temptations treats are THE BEST EVER and will get very excited when they hear the jar shake with the yummies they know are forthcoming! These girls will melt your heart! Pickles and Olive love toys! Pickles loves the little catnip mice best while Olive loves anything as long as it involves catnip! Pickles loves plush blankets and climbing up high on her cat tree while Olive likes to get comfy on squishy comfy beds!

Pumpkin and Spice are the cutest little girls! They are extremely affectionate and pretty much velcro themselves to you!

Pumpkin & Spice enjoy time with their humans, getting ALL the love you can give them! Spice will let you know if you have a free hand that you should be petting her!

Story
Currently located in: York, ME! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: yes, they are good with curious dogs as long as they do not chase them Good with cats: Yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes, we think older kids may be better as these two are very scared and timid! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Willow & Oz! Willow & Oz were found abandoned with their family. There was a mom, 2 neonatal babies, a dad, an uncle and 3 kittens. We believe Willow & Oz are a bonded Father/Daughter duo. They all were just left behind in an apartment after the tenants were evicted. They had no access to food or water, had to live in their own waste and clearly they were abused. Willow & Oz are learning how to trust humans again. They are very timid and afraid, but slowly starting to come around. Willow is a bit more brave than her dad, but not very much! They both very much enjoy temptations treats! This father/daughter duo are often found huddled together for comfort. They really rely on each other and are pretty much glued together always! Willow & Oz are going to need time, patiences and an adoptive family willing to give them the time to trust and love again. We estimate that Willow is about 5 months old and Oz is probably around a year old. They surprisingly are house trained and are completely adorable! You can pet them, but they are not excited about being held just yet. If you think you are the right home for them, please apply to adopt them here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq8ShXPVGLfrGHlIYMk0plgI_PJxOEMdr8QItpQMXYCnluvg/viewform All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes.
