Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.FIV PositiveJerry spent many years as an outdoor cat, before a Last Hope volunteer found him and brought him in to rescue.  Jerry is around 11 years old and he absolutely adores the company of humans! He will make a terrific companion for a cat savvy adult who understands cats that enjoy their space yet seek out affection on their own terms. Jerry spent some time living in our office as the office assistant! He was an excellent watch cat and kept everyone on track but had since retired and is living life watching (or napping) everyone work from atop the kennels! Jerry will love a home with lots of windows to enjoy and a cat tower or even a cozy cardboard box that he can hunker down in and nap the day away in.  Jerry loves to get out and explore at our adoption center! Jerry also loves a great scratching post, we find that he enjoys cardboard kitty scratchers the most. Jerry's many years spent as an outdoor kitty have left him FIV positive, this simply means that he has the potential to have a more sensitive immune system so will require a diligent owner who will promptly attend to his medical concerns should they arise.  Jerry would do best in a home without young children or other animals.  He’s got more than enough love to offer to anyone willing to take a chance on him!  Jerry's adoption fee is $85 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.  Jerry is seeking an indoor only home, if you would like to meet him please submit an adoption application for consideration through our website Adopthope.org.  Last Hope requires that adopters have a history of having kept their animals altered, current on vaccinations and preventatives and as indoor pets only.  Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 2, 2024, 11:48 am

Story
Hi, I'm Agatha! My foster parents have been calling me Shadow. I am the most beautiful black baby with stunning yellow eyes! I joined the APL family when me and my more than 20 other siblings needed a new home. You see, our caregiver was diagnosed with a terminal illness and she needed to know we were all going to be safe when she wasn't around anymore. When I first came to my foster home, I was a little shy and kept to myself, but after just a few days, I found my confidence and now I'm all about love and playtime! I'll come up to you for belly pets and love to rub against your leg. I can often be found sunbathing on the window ledge or chasing my favorite feather toy - I've even got a cute "butt wiggle before I pounce! I'm currently living with my best buddy, BB, and we're an inseparable pair. We cuddle, nuzzle, and play together every day, so we need a forever home where we can stay together. I'm pretty fast and energetic, but I also love quiet time to relax, especially if it involves snuggles. I'm hoping for a calm, loving home where I can continue to share my playful and sweet side. If you're ready for double the love and double the fun, BB and I would love to meet you! Agatha is litter trained, has been vaccinated, spayed, dewormed, tested negative for FELV/FIV, and microchipped. Applications for this dynamic duo can be submitted at: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/cats

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Kate was adopted from us in 2016 when she was just a few years old, but unfortunately her owners moved out of state and into a new living situation that prohibits pets. So Kate came back to Safe Haven as a senior cat. We treated her with a much needed 'kittie dental' that resulted in all her teeth being pulled. However, she is totally recovered from that, and her oral health is much better now and she eats her senior kibble just fine! It was also discovered that Kate now has a heart murmur, so she is on daily oral medication to help her heart function properly. Luckily this medication is a common human medication (Atenolol) that is very inexpensive, so this shouldn't slow down her adoptability one bit!   Since Kate is now a senior girl, she is looking for a quality senior cat home (ie quiet, peaceful, and plenty of relaxing views out windows) and it seems like Kate may be happiest if she was the only kitty in her new home. Since she is currently our oldest resident, she holds a special place in many hearts - so much so that one of our volunteers has sponsored her adoption fee! So all Kate needs now is for a potential adopter to open up their home and heart to let Kate in! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 10:00 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Tiger! He is a handsome 9-year old Tabby cat in need of a second forever home following the passing of his senior human.  Tiger is a good boy who enjoys being a homebody. He likes human attention on his subtle terms, including head scratches not belly rubs. He is known for being very chatty while patiently awaiting his meal or human attention. Tiger is looking for a home without young children. He would do best in a quiet home with humans who can respect his space and boundaries. He has previously shared a home with another cat & dog, so he may do well with the right feline & canine friends. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 10:00 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tora is a "Sweetie Pie". She is hesitant & cautious at first but then with time & patience warms up to you.  She is more comfortable with women, but warmed up to her foster dad with time. Tora's favorite activity is to have her ears, head, neck and chest noogied, but she can be sensitive about petting her back.  She also really loves a good windowsill & a room with a view! Tora was also a good mother to her kittens when she first came in, very caring.  Her foster parents really think she will be a wonderful forever pet for someone now that she is done being a mom, and has been spayed - so no more mothering duties to worry about, just living her best life now waiting to be adopted! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 10:00 pm

Story
We found Tom a couple weeks ago when the temperatures started to drop. He walked right up to my boyfriend and we knew we couldn’t leave him outside to fend for himself. We have since treated him for fleas and earmites and got him neutered and vaccinated. He really is the sweetest boy, but he is very timid. He’s still adjusting to our apartment and being kept separate from the other cats living here. I believe he would do best with someone who lives alone with no other pets or possibly as a farm cat. He’s about 9 months old is what the vet told us. He loves to play with toy mice and laser lights. He uses the litter box just fine. He will come with toys, food, bowl, everything you’d need to get him started and comfortable for a smooth transition.
