Story
Do you regularly foster kittens? Sweet Lucy might be just the nanny they need! While you’re socializing the little ones, she can groom them, comfort them, and teach them how to “cat.” Lucy showed up in my yard with a litter of 6 kittens last summer and came across as feral, growling and hissing when I came too close. But once the kittens were weaned and I was able to spend one-on-one time with her, she blossomed into an absolute lovebug who loves cheek scratches and following me around while I do yard work. However, she still really enjoys the company of other cats, and kittens in particular -- she likes to carry stuffed animals around my house and organize them into little piles. According to the clinic where I got Lucy spayed, she's about 6 years old. She's currently an indoor-outdoor cat, but I think she could happily settle into full-time indoor life.

Story
Frankie was a friendly stray in our apartment complex. She’d follow us home, and eventually we took her to the vet and then welcomed her into our home. The vet said that she is 3 and she’s now chipped, vaccinated, and spayed. However, we have a 14 year old dog that she does not get along with. As such, we have them separated in our home. Recently, my partner accidentally stepped on her paw and she brutally attacked. He has bite and scratch marks that will be scars. This was not playful and she was relentless. She does not appear to be in any physical pain, but was obviously very startled and lashed out. At this point, it has been over five days and she is still attempting to attack him. She seems ok with me, but I am keeping my distance and being cautious. Our situation with having a dog is not ideal for her. She was such a loving and sweet kitty, but she is unhappy living with us.

Good with kids, House-trained, Declawed, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Apollo! He is a 5 year old neutered and declawed male. He is a sweet loveable lapcat. Loves to sit with you and nuzzle right up in your face. He has been in a household with dogs but they are not his favorite. He’s good with children. He eats dry food but is happy to eat wet food as well. He is a solid boy, jelly belly and all. His pastimes include drinking water from the sink and pawing at you for a back scratch. Unfortunately, because one of the children has a bad allergy, the family regretfully needs to find him another loving home. Interested in adopting Apollo? Please fill out an adoption application at https://www.care4strays.org/adoption-application Please note our service area is the Pascack Valley within Bergen County, NJ, and its surrounding area. Please consider our distance when applying to adopt an animal.LINKS IN BIO.         ##1731818##
