Story
Amber came from a shelter in 2018. She had been a stray and the family who found her kept her kittens, but turned her into the shelter. At first, she is scared of new people, but once she gets to know you she will snuggle up to you, sit on your lap and sleep on your bed at night. She does not like being picked up and held for very long. She loves spending all day in a lanai lounging around and occasionally plays with her toys. When anyone comes to the house she will hide under a bed or in a closet. Amber uses a scratching post daily. She has never scratched up any of my furniture. Amber will let you brush her. I need to rehome her, because after being a widow for several years, I have met someone else and we wish to do some traveling together. I do not want to be leaving Amber alone for long periods of time. I am hoping to find someone who wants to have a cat in their home which they can stroke and love on. Amber responds to kind soft words. She is a good companion.

Story
JoJo was dumped outside by his previous owners when the girlfriend moved out. He’s been living on the streets for years. He is FIV positive, but otherwise healthy. He is VERY affectionate and loves to cuddle. JoJo would do well in just about any home, but would be best suited for a home that has an enclosed sunroom or outdoor patio. He loves watching the birds and squirrels. JoJo can be a bit of an escape artist, so his adopters will need to watch out for this. He should be kept indoors since he is FIV positive.

Story
Looking for a forever home for a super sweet, loving male cat. He is a stray I have been feeding for about 6 months. I took him in a month ago to treat an abscess on his front left paw, which is now fully healed. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped; and is current for the next two months for flea, tick, ear mite, and heartworm preventative (treated April 5th with Bravecto Plus). He is FIV positive, but is perfectly healthy. The vet estimates he is 1-1 1/2 years old. He is super cuddly, playful and sweet. He just wants to spend time with you and be a part of the family. I have two older male cats and they are not getting along, so unfortunately I cannot keep him. He will be re-homed with a litter box, scoop, toys, bed, bowls, and food. Serious inquiries only.

Story
The sweetest mama cat who is just a kitten herself. She was found abandoned with her four babies in a hospital parking lot in a commercial area. So close to a busy road and with no street skills, it's a wonder she survived the 3 days she was out there. Our rescue got the call about this mom and we knew we needed to act quickly. When we arrived on scene we actually witnessed her nearly get hit by two cars as she crossed the street. It was 2:00 AM and we knew at that time we weren't leaving without the entire family. When we parked our truck we got out and started calling for her. Fortunately we soon heard the bell on her collar.  We were able to get her into a carrier in short order. We then set up what we call a reverse kitten cave. This is a method we use to catch kittens that are young enough to still be nursing. We placed live traps around the mom's carrier and covered her with a blanket. It took a couple hours for the babies to finally come out. When they did they began playing and climbing all around in front of the carrier. One by one we were able to trap 3 KITTENS. Never saw the 4th kitten that had been reported to us by the employees. We have gone back several times and still there is no sign of the 4th kitten. We are very hopeful that someone else found the baby and rescued it. Mom and babies seem to be in good health. She has one tiger son and two Siamese type daughters. The kittens are understandably quite afraid but they should come around with some socialization. Openly accepting applications at this time. It is our hope that someone is interested in adopting the mom. So often the mother cats are left behind while all their kittens are adopted. Mama cats are devoted and loving parents to their kittens and we feel they are some of the most deserving companion animals we know. ##2058716##
