Thankfully with care, she has improved each day and is now physically very healthy. She took a very long time to feel confident around humans, especially those she doesn't know. She is such an amazing kitty, and she has overcome her fears now. She will need a patient adopter, but we promise your patience will be rewarded! Once she trusts you, she will love you forever. She absolutely adores other cats, and will greet them with head butts. She has the most endearing head tilt, and when it's paired with her soft eyes gazing at you, it's irresistible!

Seven is about 6 months old as of January, 2023.  He was born outside in an industrial environment and provided food by employees for months when all of a sudden he was no longer and his life in jeopardy with reports of barbaric acts and a known history of catch and kill.  Fortunately, that was not the case for this beautiful boy!  He has come a long way in his socialization and is accepting pets, playing and purring.  When he arrives at his new home, he will need a small room to adjust and learn to trust and continue his socialization.  He needs a patient family who will allow him to be brave at his pace.  It won't take long with some rewarding effort.  Adopt him today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

He was adopted as a baby and has spent the last 4 years with his sweet mom. She became ill and after 3 weeks in ICU and a questionable, long road before her, she had to return her beloved Smudge to us. As I’ll as she is, she talked to us, and made arrangements to get his paperwork and him to us. He had a wonderful home, we see that he is so sweet and well mannered and his vet records show he received his annual vaccinations every year. We wish her the best and for a full recovery over time and we promised that Smudge will find himself a wonderful new home/family to continue to love him. Adopt him today. He will adjust so much quicker in his new home with love and attention.

He's friendly so he's with us now! We estimate his age to be between 2 to 3 years old.  He had a tough time in his outside life and was treated with antibiotics for his upper respiratory infection and suffered hair loss from his poor health conditions.  He's gone through some procedures to make him all better now and he is ready for his home.  He's a sweet, playful very special boy!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.
