Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Salamanca, New York

 Joyful Rescues is considering Tom to be a sanctuary kitty with us.  It's not that he is feral as are the other 6 sanctuary kitties here that live in the basement, garage, outside, with cat doors open 24/7.  Tom is a friendly kitty, but he seems really elderly and it also seems that he has lived a rather rough life and likely mostly, if not all, outside.  He was not neutered until he arrived....maybe his playboy days were over so he decided to find a nice retirement home as he invited himself to live here.  Whether one of the other cats showed him all the doors or he found them himself is a mystery, but he's not the first kitty to simply appear in our basement.  He was afraid of us humans at first, but warmed up quickly once he realized he was safe.  Tom is very happy here and hangs around the humans when outside.  We have noticed that his eyes seem 'weepy' and his breathing is audible.  Other than this he seems healthy for his age and has a good appetite and gets around just fine.  Just an absolute guess maybe he was born in 2009.  Would we welcome an adoption for Tom?  Yes, as long as we felt he would be happier there than he is here. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime. The ADOPTION FEE:  There is no fee for Tom.

I found her wrapped in hay netting with an injured leg. I brought her into my home and cared for her until she was completely healed. Now, she is a healthy cat, although she does have a weight issue that needs to be addressed. Since I'm moving and can only take two cats with me, I'm looking for someone who can give her the special attention she needs. She is spayed and vaccinated, though she may need updates on her vaccinations. She is house-trained, but the litter box must always be kept clean. This cat requires someone who can work with her to help her live a stress-free life and learn how to engage with her new owner. She enjoys being around me but is very shy, making it difficult to approach her. She likes to be petted for a short time but then runs away. I hope that will change someday. She has lived with a dog and didn't mind it. She likes the other cats in the house, but she can be sassy when a new cat arrives. Overall, she can be very adaptable to new situations.

Hello, I`m Nelly. I may be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I promise to be your best friend. I love a good cuddle, and I`m always up for a friendly chat. I`m sweet, kind, and patient, and I can`t wait to find a home where I can share all my love. I`m not one for big parties or loud noises, I prefer quiet evenings spent with someone who cares about me. I promise to be the best listener, and the purrfect companion. Why should you adopt me? Well, I believe every home needs a little bit of Nelly`s sweetness.

This handsome orange boy is Simon. Simon is FELV+ and arrived in store on 3/11 after being transferred from another local rescue. This sweet and slightly shy boy is 2.5 years old and has to go home by himself, or with any other kitty that shares his FELV+ status
