Indie
FeLuk Positive

Indie is a 4month old kitten that has Feluk. He came in as a stray found in the undercarriage of his rescuer. He is currently a very happy and healthy kitten that loves to play. FeLuk is a virus that is only contagious to other cats, so he can go home with dogs or other animals. So if you are looking for just a solo kitten he could be right for you.
Cabo

On a cold fall night a car drove away leaving this adorable and very talkative little black kitty to sit alone and cry in the middle of the road. Luckily for Cabo help was nearby and now she will tell anyone who wants to listen that it is her turn to go home. Cabo is about three and a half years old and loves to be given lots of love and attention. She loves laps and petting sessions and will enjoy the occasional ride around our lobby in a volunteer’s arms.

She does have a deformity with her front paws that makes it hard for her to jump down from high places so caution should be used in how high she has to jump down from if in a home. Regardless, this issue doesn’t slow her down and her zest for life and love from people. She is, however stressed out by the number of the cats in the shelter and so stays perched on one of our cages to avoid being picked on. She would do wonderful in a foster home with one or two other laid back cats and children.

Don’t overlook this sweet little cat who wants nothing more than to tell you she loves you every single day.

Pawson

Pawson arrived in 2005, as a stray to Save-A-Pet when he was only 5 weeks old. He had wounds to his hind paws and he was covered in maggot larvae. After a through cleaning staff realized that he had digits missing from both paws and the remaining digits were no longer viable. Shortly after his arrival he found a foster home that helped him recover. Unfortunately do to allergies they are no longer able to keep him, so we are looking for a new permanent foster home for him. This is what his foster had to say about him -

When he was first brought into the clinic with much of his one back paw eaten away from maggots following some type of injury. He was about 4 - 6 weeks old. He is really friendly, and likes to sleep with my 9 year old daughter. He is very tolerant of children. Although he is handicapped, he does not let it stop him. He loves to play and chase things. He gets along great with people, he is less tolerant of dogs (he prefers to stay clear, never challenges them). We had another kitty for a short time and they got along well. He has had several surgeries to repair his badly injured back legs. He has recovered remarkably and really is no worse for wear. He is on a special diet (Hills C/D) for crystal formation in his urine. He has had episodes of urinating out side of the box, but, only when he was having bladder issues. Since he has been on the C/D (about 1 year now) we have not had any urinary issues at all and he uses his box normally.
