Meet Crimson, a 5-year-old Bengal cat in need of a new home due to health challenges. Crimson requires specialized care for mega colon and EPI. Despite the love of a dedicated owner, current circumstances prevent the necessary care. If you can provide a loving home and the attention Crimson needs, please consider adopting.

Story
No "Shadow" of a Doubt: this guy will be the purrrfect match for you. Shadow is at least 7 years old, and he needs a quiet, spacious home to sprawl out in. He loves cuddles and will even come to you if you call him. Outside of cuddles, he generally likes a good laser pointer and to groom you. You may even wake up to a cat licking your hair or face with kisses.

Meet Shadow, a captivating Burmese and Domestic Shorthair mix who is searching for his forever home in the Los Angeles area. Shadow is a striking mini-house panther with a sleek black coat and a heart full of love. At seven years old, Shadow has already learned the art of being a perfect feline companion. He is a devoted and affectionate boy who loves nothing more than to curl up next to you for a snuggle. His favorite thing in the world is to be petted and loved on. Shadow is the cat who will come running when you call his name and happily follow you around the house. Shadow is not only friendly with his humans, but he is also very sociable with other cats. He has a calm and gentle demeanor that allows him to get along well with his feline friends. Shadow is the cat who would make an excellent addition to any household, whether it be a single person or a family with other pets. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion to share your life with, look no further than Shadow.

Story
ELVIS NEEDS A 3 week FOSTER(Or his owner is dropping him at the shelter tomorrow) Elvis is 1 year old and neutered. We are working with @peace_4animals to try to save this sweet boy from having to go to the shelter tomorrow. We may have a home for him June 18th which would mean we only need a 3 week foster Even better would be a new home. He’s great with other cats. And birds. Not sure about dogs.  *too many people are dumping their pets because they are “moving to a no pet building.” THAT IS A SHIT EXCUSE. These are your children.  Please help if u canInfo@theanimalrescuemission.org or DM @peace_4animals  #help #foster #volunteer #cats #catsofinstagram #fosteringsaveslives ##1424042##
