Story
We are fostering a beautiful adult fixed male cat that was rescued off the street. We do not know age but given size we suspect adule (not senior). He is SUPER people friendly (loves being petted and laying around with humans). Pays very little attention to our smallish, old grandma-like Cocker Spaniel but would likely not do great with a higher energy/larger dog. Cannot get him to tolerate our other cats (he is the aggressor) - I imagine he has some war stories from encounters with other cats in his life on the streets. Anyone in need of a loving new companion for your currently cat-free home?

Story
Bonnie and Clyde were found by the staff at a doctors office in Wilmington, NC- just hanging around begging for food. Seems thier mom had dropped them under a car there for safe keeping, but didn't come back. One of the staff members scooped them up an called us. Clyde was adopted as a kitten, but turned in to a shelter years later. They said they took in an elderly family member who is allergic to cats. We wish they would have called us first, per our adoption agreement, but Clyde is now safe in foster care. As it turned out, Clyde had a massive struvite stone in his bladder and was peeing blood. We had the stone removed and he must now remain on a prescription urinary diet for the rest of his life. He has NEVER peed outside the box. An adopter must be willing to spend the money for his food and understand it is the only preventative solution.  All cats and kittens from Feline Matchmakers Inc. have age appropriate vaccinations, are fixed, tested for communicable diseases, fleas, worms, parasites and are microchipped. An application and home visit are required. Contact felinematchmakers@hotmail.com and give us your phone number for a chat. Applications at felinematchmakers.org ##837940##
