Story
Turnip was a small baby. The runt of his litter, really. He was so blessed that he found his way into his foster families life. They took great care of him and he has flourished! He is growing up in foster care, though. He is almost a year old ... someone needs to give this guy a chance! He is a playful boy! So smart and such a sweetheart!   Update:  Turnip has become picky with his litter.  He has started having accidents and not using the little box 100% of the time.  Sometimes will poop outside the litter box.  We are working with him to determine what may be causing this. ##1089206##

Story
Maggie was a skeletal half-feral kitty at my sister’s begging for food. Unfortunately, she had digestive problems, threw up everything she ate; I didn’t realize until I brought her home; was why she was so skinny. 6 years later, she takes prescription dry food, a tad overweight & a healthy, sweet, indoor kitty. She doesn’t like being picked up so much but instead will sit next to you and rub against you. She’s very well mannered. If she scratches, put a post there & she gets it. Never a problem except vet visits, but what kitty likes them? Give her high places she feels safe, she’ll give you love, a low maintenance independent kitty. A week to trust you, but she’ll come purring every night and kiss your fingers in bed. I’m leaving the country and won’t stay in one place. She doesn’t do well confined, and I can’t travel with her. It breaks my heart, but she needs stability. Mature responsible home would be best. I’d help with prescription-food costs.

These pups are in Ocala, Florida too!

Story
This is Aspen; a kitty that was rescued by a good Samaritan, last year. Unable to place her with one of our fosters, we have provided support to the finder while Aspen is in her care. We have a very hard time finding foster homes for adult cats but they need representation and the finders still need help with responsible rehoming. We shared resources with Aspen's finder, early on, in hopes that another organization could help. She followed up on those resources and VOCAL helped by spaying the cat and giving her vaccines. This was where the kitty was named Aspen (which is also our director's name). She needed a name and it was a very sweet gesture to name her after one of our team. And we hope to do right by both Aspen kitty and her finder foster. We have networked her before with no luck. We wanted to bring her story back to light, once more, because she really needs a forever home. Her finder has kept her for 6 months but cannot continue to keep her. She has nowhere to go and the dynamic in the household has shifted a bit. She is causing disturbances among the existing pets in the house and the time has come to relieve the finders. Please share Aspen's pictures and story. She is one of so many ownerless, nameless cats. Left to live a life of hardship on the street. She has been one of the lucky ones, so far. She has had a village behind her between her finder foster, VOCAL - Voices of Change Animal League, Ocala and Quality of Life Rehab & Foster, Inc. Let's continue building her village up around her and find this gorgeous queen a castle to call her own! Cat adoption: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/31710/generic ##1655839##
