Story

Cat is a stray that showed up approximately the end of May 2024. He was an intact male, very friendly and hungry. My neighbor and I have tried to locate his family but have been unsuccessful. We took him in to a clinic last week and had him neutered and given shots, flea meds and dewormer. He loves to be petted and is very vocal when you talk to him. Currently, he is an outdoor cat and hopefully, once the hormones die down, he could be an inside only cat. The clinic said that he is about one year old and weighs 10.6 lbs. Neither my neighbor nor I can keep him since she now has two inside cats and two ferals that we fixed last year and I have five indoor cats already. He would need to be carefully introduced to new surroundings and any other pets that reside there.

Story

Tera is a beautiful 2-year-old orange and white domestic shorthair with a unique and vibrant personality. She may seem a bit "psycho" when you first meet her, but don't let that deter you. Tera simply needs time to trust and decompress in a new environment. Once she feels safe and secure, she transforms into the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for. Tera thrives best in a home without children where she can have the peace and quiet she needs to feel comfortable. While she is tolerant of other animals, Tera would really love to be the queen of her castle and have all your attention to herself. One of Tera's favorite things is finding cozy spots to lounge and observe her kingdom. She's got a knack for making you laugh with her quirky antics and will reward your patience with endless affection. If you're looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time to show her true loving nature, Tera might be the perfect match for you! ##2034542##

Story

Our Roxy is an amazingly sweet girl who deserves the most special home who understands her needs. She is small im stature and a cuddle bug who loves to be carried to bed and snuggle against you all night. She will let you kmow loud and clear if she needs anything! Roxy was born with CH: Cerebellar hypoplasia ("CH") is a neurological condition in which the cerebellum is smaller than usual or not completely developed. ... In cats, this condition is also called "Wobbly Cat Syndrome. It never worsens and never gets better though they learn to manage it. She is moderate on the scale and controls her head and shoulders very well. Roxy is very sefl sufficient but needs a house with room for her to leap about and not chaotic. Roxy will wobble her way to the litter box and does her very best to always hit her mark. She is very loving and loves to be held or lay on your lap. She currently lives with several other cats and four large dog's, but gets scared and screams if they get in her immediate space and will tell them about it.. she's very vocal! with that, she would do much better in a home with less active or chill dogs and cats. She just gets scared if she thinks she is going to get trampled! if you are interested in Roxy, plese include a paragraph on why you feel you are the best home and your experience with CH. Roxy is avaiable in the PDX area of Oregon (including Salem and surrounding area). ##1872345##

Story

Maverick is our very special sweet boy who deserves all the love in the world! He's very laid back and will sit with you for hours watching movies and wants to be near you. Maverick is a speicial needs boy with severe CH (also known as wobbly cat syndrome). Here is a link where you can find more info on CH: https://www.thenoahcenter.org/2022/09/28/the-truth-about-ch-cats/ Maverick is about 4 years old and along with having CH, he is missing several teeth and has a front "snaggle tooth"- but is healthy! He's neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and has had base line bloodwork upon joining the rescue all of which was completely normal. He does have tremors that are common with CH and also a pretty severe head bobble - so drinking water is difficult and he eats wet food and sometimes dry kibble mixed in water in raised bowl. He was raised by a family who loved him very much but just didn't have the time to continue caring for him. He uses a litter box but because of his severity and wobbles, he needs help getting in and out and will lay down to do his stuff. He is on a schedule though and will go in the litter box when you put him in the box on a schedule. Maverick has lived with big dogs and other cats in his foster home, but he mostly loves just being with his person. If you have had a CH cat previously, then. you know how much love they provide and what a joy they are to care for. With Maverick's severity level, he does need someone who has experience with CH and is aware of what they require. If you are interested in Maverick, please provide a few sentences on why you want to adopt Maverick and how you are prepared for him. ##2000741##

Story

God's Dogs Rescue plus Kitties does NOT transport any cats or kittens in or out of the state of Texas. It is too stressful for the cats or kittens to be transported long distances, especially when enclosed in a vehicle containing dogs and puppies. Thank you for your understanding. Meet Maxine, a resilient cat who faced a challenging start in life, but with the support of her foster mom, she transformed into a wonderful feline friend. Max's early days were tough, but her foster mom showered her with love and care, turning her life around and providing a warm and nurturing environment. Possessing the typical independent nature of cats, Max displayed a mind of her own, exploring her surroundings with curiosity and a hint of mischief. Despite her independent streak, Max had a sweet side, surprising everyone by transforming into a snuggle bug when the mood struck, showcasing her affectionate and loving nature. Max's journey from a rough beginning to a delightful and loving cat is a testament to the transformative power of care and compassion in the lives of our furry friends. This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $100.

By appointment only, please inquire through Petfinder, adopt-a-pet, rescueme.org or e-mail us directly at shelter@hbpets.org. Please answer the questions below in your response. Meet Mickie, he is 11wks old, neutered male. Mickie was saved from a busy road by a Good Samaritan, they realized instantly something was wrong as it appeared he was having tremors. It was late in the day and they rushed him to our shelter, we are no longer taking kittens but we couldn't say no to this little guy. Mickie went home with our shelter manager for 24/7 care, when he 1st arrived he was blind and his head tremor was easily seen. He was started on medications and within a few days, his vision was back and the head tremor was less noticeable. Mickie may have the head tremor for the rest of his life, but it doesn't stop him, he plays, purr's and eats like a regular kitten. He is a goofy, feisty, loving little kitten, who is best friends with a Chihuahua and a large dog. He loves to play, so an active home is a must for him. Adoption fee is $150, this includes neuter, microchip, age appropriate vaccines, felv/fiv testing, dewormer, flea medication and a 1lb bag of kitten food. A few questions: 1. Are you ready for an active kitten? 2. How many animals and types do you have? 3. How many humans and ages live in your home? 4. Have you had a special needs animal before, if so please tell us about them.

Story

Hi! I'm Ida, and I am very excited to meet you! I'm a sweet, gentle girl who loves to be pet, cuddled, and played with. I enjoy exploring and love to jump and climb! I am super playful, and could play with my favorite string toys all day long. Nothing makes me happier than quality time with my favorite humans. If you're looking for a buddy who will be a loyal, fun, and adorable companion, I'm your girl! Until recently, I spent my whole life within a laboratory cage being poked and prodded. I never got to enjoy a chin scratch or the experience of a lazy day of sleeping by a window. Now I'm finally free! After everything I've been through, it can take me a few days to warm up to a new environment-- but once I do, I will be the most fun and friendly cat you've ever met. The humans who have met me refer to me as a little ray of sunshine, and say I'm pretty clever, too! I would love to find a home where I can have my own bed to curl up in and cat tree to jump on. After all my time being locked away, I am ready for all the love and attention a family can give me. I get along with all kinds of humans and am friendly with dogs. I would be happiest in a home with no other cats. If you are interested in adopting Ida, please fill out an adoption application at https://bfp.org/rescue/ and email us with questions: adopt@bfp.org.

Hello everyone, I'm Opal. You wouldn't know by looking at me, but I spent my whole life within a laboratory cage. I never got to enjoy a chin scratch or a lazy day of sleeping in a cozy spot. Now I'm finally free! After all my time being locked away, I am ready for all the love and affection a family can give me. My foster family says I'm as friendly as can be! "Snuggling" is my middle name, and all I want to do is be pet. I love to knead and get SO excited when my favorite humans come to pet me. I'm a young gal who just wants to purr, purr, purr. Other cats are always welcome to be my friend, too. But I wouldn't mind being an only cat, either. Please take me home! I promise to make your days brighter.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Blutini came to us as a stray in early May. We named him for his beautiful aqua eyes. He was very thin so we started feeding him. We took him to the vet to see if he was chipped and, being a Bengal, we were very surprised to find that he was not. Blutini is a very sweet, affectionate five year old boy. He loves to cuddle and be scratched. He is quite athletic and likes to chase strings and sticks. We fell in love with him and decided to get him chipped and vaccinated and keep him, but unfortunately, one of our other two cats does not like him (she was once a stray too) and he began to chase her out of the house. He gets along well with other cats in the neighborhood. We hate to give this beautiful, sweet cat up, but feel we have no choice. If you choose Blutini to be part of your family, we recommend that you have docile animals.I believe that it’s best to have him as an indoor/outdoor kitty, but when he is inside, he doesn’t jump on counters and uses a litter box when it rains
