Story
Ali is 7 years old and we adopted him as a 3 month old kitten who was born in the shelter. He only had one other sibling and I don’t think he was properly socialized with other kittens. He was always hyper but as he grew, that turned into aggression. He has attacked me too many times to count. He only likes my daughter, but still occasionally attacks her. He has bitten my face multiple times and attacked everyone that comes over. His attacks are completely random and unprovoked. Sweet one minute, the next he bites or scratches. I honestly feel helpless and do not want to surrender him for fear of him being put down. I just cannot handle him anymore and it’s causing severe stress for everyone in our home. I think perhaps he would do best in a home with no other animals where he can be the dominant pet?He needs his yearly rabies vaccine. He has had all other vaccinations, but trying to take him to the vet is very difficult because at his last visit, he attacked the vet.

Isha is a very sweet, super chill cat. Gets along with dogs, cats and people. She needs her yearly rabies vaccination, but is up to date on all her other shots. She has not been outside since I’ve had her, but she came from a feral cat situation as a kitten. We are rehoming her due to my daughters ongoing allergies.

Story
I’m 76 years old and live alone in a studio apartment. It’s been three years since my last cat. I decided it was time for another, and I wanted an older cat for companionship and to give them a home, since most people prefer kittens. I agreed to take in a cat I was told was at least three years old, but the vet said he’s probably only about a year. The people who gave him to me think he was abandoned when a neighbor moved. He’s affectionate, sweet, and walks right up to visitors. We are not sure if he was an inside cat or outside cat. He has been with me about 2 months now and stays inside. He needs more playtime and someone who is more physically fit to play with him. He also needs more space to exercise and release his energy, but there just isn’t enough room in my apartment. He has had all of his bloodwork and shots done. He was neutered about 4 weeks ago. All of his records are at Brandon Animal Hospital. I hope someone younger will take him and give him a good home! Thank you!

Story
I am bonded to Opie, and we need to go home together! I am a very friendly cat who absolutely loves attention. I came from a hoarding situation with over 40 cats, so I get along great with other cats in the home. I am on a prescription diet (EN) to control GI issues. I am also prone to overgrooming, so my hair is thin on my back end. I am a very sweet cat who would like nothing better than to be your new best friend! I am currently in foster, so if you are interested in adoption, please reach out to adoptions@angelsofassisi.org to set up a meet and greet!
