Dahlia

American Shorthair

Female, Adult
West Warwick, RI
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Dahlia was adopted from Animal Rescue Rhode Island. She is currently 1 year old and 11 months. For her new home she has to be the only pet in the house due to her condition and the person must be able to financially support her ongoing eye treatment. Dahlia must be an in-house cat per the vet's recommendation. Dahlia was diagnosed with FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) in September and she needs to see an ophthalmologist for treatment. I been bringing her to EyeCare For Animals in Warwick to treat her eyes but due to her ongoing treatment it has become too much for me to support her financially. This was a difficult decision but we hope she finds a suitable home that can take care of her and love her. Dahlia is a sweet cat, loves to sit and cuddle with you sometimes. She is a bit shy at first and around strangers but she adjusts quickly. Doesn't mind being picked up to walk around the house and most of all likes to sleep on top of heated blankets.

Nala

American Shorthair

Female, Adult
Riverside, RI
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Nala is a wonderful companion who loves sunbathing by the window or playing with feather toys. She is a gentle soul who enjoys a predictable routine and a quiet place to nap. While she is a great cat, we have realized that she is not comfortable in a house with children. The energy and noise of a busy family life are stressful for her, and she would be much happier in a calm, adult-only environment where she can be the center of attention (or just coexist peacefully). ​Ideal Match: We are looking for a quiet home (no young children) where she can feel safe and relaxed. She would be perfect for a single person or a couple looking for a low-maintenance, loving companion. She will come with all her toys, beds, tower, food, litter boxes and litter.

Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Millie or Windmill. Millie was found outside the windmill plant in New Bedford running free and completely feral. She was TNR spayed and but now she is being fostered with hopes of being adopted. Millie’s personality has come out in the weeks we've had her in our care. Originally she was in a cage, scared and hissing at any person and now all she wants is to play and rub against our legs. She is fascinated by everything as she has never been in a house before and loves toys of all kinds, she will play with anything you give her but loves the tunnel most. She is still very awkward about petting but she is coming around and will accept neck and back strokes when she is resting in the sun. She is completely house trained as well and is used to using both clay sand and pellets. She is also good with other cats and potentially older children. ** Millie is indoors only, will not be adopted to outdoor cat owners, read up on dangers of outdoor cats for more info

Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
She was roaming around my neighborhood over the past few weeks. She’s very sweet but nervous/skittish on presentation. I can’t keep her because I already have a cat and my landlord only allows one cat. She gets along well with my cat, they eat next to each other and haven’t gotten into any tussles at all. (Granted, she did hiss a few times at first)

Good with kids, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Minnow was born homeless and living behind a restaurant in the woods. He was very dehydrated and underweight. We believe he wouldn't have lasted much longer, if he had not been rescued when he was. Minnow is currently being fostered in a home with other cats and dogs. He is litter box trained. He absolutely loves chasing the laser light , playing with all of his toys, and watching the birds outside the window. When he gets the zoomies, he likes to run through his cat tunnel as fast as he can back and forth. Minnow is very affectionate, comical, curious, and super smart. He would make a great addition to any family.
