Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Jamestown, New York

Met Fred as a kitten at the home of neighbors. I was instantly attracted by his big foofy tail. He fitted in easily with my other three cats. He is slightly odd in his vocalizations; he is not at all bad-tempered, but where other cats would meow, he may hiss or growl -- I compare him to a little kid who has grown up in a household where everyone uses the f-word all the time. Actually, I think he's quite shy, and he avoids strangers to the house for several days. He purrs and loves lapsits, when he will pump vigorously, sometimes accompanied by drooling. Until now he has been able to go outdoors, as I live in an area along a creek bank and trees, where it's quite safe. However, at times he has had to be an indoor cat, and he has adapted without undue objection. He likes his Friskies, both wet and dry, and his bedtime treats. I hate having to part with him, but I'm moving across the country and have committed to bringing only two of my four cats.

My name is Oreo! I am a 3 year old neutered male. I will need one more distemper vaccine soon, I have been dewormed and flea treated. I will be microchipped before I go home! I am a long haired huge boy that will follow you for your attention! I was a stray and I had some matted fur so please excuse my hair cut!

 Joyful Rescues is considering Tom to be a sanctuary kitty with us.  It's not that he is feral as are the other 6 sanctuary kitties here that live in the basement, garage, outside, with cat doors open 24/7.  Tom is a friendly kitty, but he seems really elderly and it also seems that he has lived a rather rough life and likely mostly, if not all, outside.  He was not neutered until he arrived....maybe his playboy days were over so he decided to find a nice retirement home as he invited himself to live here.  Whether one of the other cats showed him all the doors or he found them himself is a mystery, but he's not the first kitty to simply appear in our basement.  He was afraid of us humans at first, but warmed up quickly once he realized he was safe.  Tom is very happy here and hangs around the humans when outside.  We have noticed that his eyes seem 'weepy' and his breathing is audible.  Other than this he seems healthy for his age and has a good appetite and gets around just fine.  Just an absolute guess maybe he was born in 2009.  Would we welcome an adoption for Tom?  Yes, as long as we felt he would be happier there than he is here. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime. The ADOPTION FEE:  There is no fee for Tom.
