Story
We've had this cat since 8 weeks old and has grown to become a handful. Not only is he aggressive and obsessive but he does not get along with other cats well. He will compete for food and steal it from anyone. He is not a beginner friendly cat since he knows how to open cabinets and dig through trash cans. He may tear up carpets or destroy other belongings. He needs someone that knows how to deal with special needs and complex behaviors/obsessions.

Story
As the sun sets over the stray streets of Havre de Grace, a pair of cats roam the halls of their foster home together. Volney, the elder of the two, is a kindly old soul who has seen many things in his years. He was once someone's beloved pet, but that was a long time ago and a world away. He walks with a certain grace, a quiet dignity that speaks of a life lived with courage, determination, but also sorrow and loss. Beside him, a younger cat named Froggy scampers along, her eyes wide with wonder at the world around her. Volney and Froggy are bonded in a way that few understand. Volney has taken Froggy under his paw when she was just a scared, young cat, and has become a father figure to her. In turn, Froggy has come to rely on Volney for protection and comfort, feeling safe and secure when she's near him. While Volney can be affable, you'll have to earn his trust and affections. He's an old soul, wise to the ways of the world and familiar with how cruel humans can be. He's also very empathic and has an almost supernatural sense of someone's intentions; so if your heart's in the right place, he'll return your affections in kind. Froggy can be shy and take a little while to warm up to new people. She, too, has felt the pain of abandonment, so trust doesn't come easy with her. It may take a season or two, but once that trust is earned and she feels secure, she won't be so guarded. Security allows her to be comfortable, contentment soon follows... When she's happy and has her "Dad" nearby, she's a bundle of energy, chasing after toys and exploring her surroundings with abandon. She loves to curl up in cozy corners and observe the world around her. She's a quiet soul, but once she gets to know you, she's the most loyal companion you could ask for. She may not be the most outgoing cat, but she's got a lot of love to give, she just needs someone patient enough to let her come out of her shell. As long as she has her "Dad"; Volney around, and her new furever family, Froggy will shine! These two cats are inseparable, and it's clear to anyone who sees them that they are meant to be together. Volney is patient with Froggy, always ready to offer a paw or a comforting purr when she needs it. And Froggy, for her part, looks up to Volney with a mixture of admiration and affection, grateful for the love and guidance he provides. As a bonded pair, the transition to their furever family can be easier because they have each other for encouragement and support. If you're looking for a pair of cats who will bring joy and warmth to your home, look no further than Volney and Froggy. These two feline friends are a testament to the power of love and companionship, and are sure to bring a smile to your face every day. Contact us to come and meet them, and see for yourself why they are such a special pair.

Story
SWEET MELONY NEEDS A FOSTER! She's an older cat who was left behind with a younger cat (her daughter?) Harmony, when her people were evicted from their home. They still come back most days to feed them & one of our volunteers stops by each day to play with them & make certain they have food & shelter. But they keep asking to be let back inside the only home they've ever known, not realizing it's owned by a bank now. When we last spoke to their family they were hoping we had a long-term foster for them as they really don't want to give the girls up, but, they are currently homeless themselves. Melony is affectionate, gets along well with other cats. She will be vetted before being placed with a foster. SSTNR can cover food, flea treatments & any necessary medications or vet visits four our fosters.

Update 11.13: Still available. ADOPTABLES! Melody & Harmony are ready for their new forever home! These two PLAYFUL, SASSY jeweled torties are likely related. We aren't certain but Melody MAY be Harmony's mom. Both girls were raised together, but their dad died and the rest of the family left them behind when the bank foreclosed on the property. They did come back to feed them until we took over for them. These girls LOVE string toys. Harmony you may remember from last Nov. as the kitten who got herself stuck high in a tree & we needed to call for help from tree trimmers to get her down for her dad. Both girls are spayed, updated on vaccinations today, combo tested, microchipped and ready for their next adventure!
