In this program, you choose a cage to sponsor for a year. Each month we will mail you a picture and a short profile of the kitty in the cage you have chosen. You decide the amount you want to send. Your monthly contribution will be used to support the kitty in your cage with toys, bed, and food.
We know it will be difficult to choose from all our delightful cats and kittens.Several other cats are not in cages, but are free to roam the cat room. Others have to be checked on frequently and are at present living with the shelter manager.
They’re all so lovable that it will be hard to choose which of our current residents
will be the recipient of your generosity.
1. EBONY, 2 yrs, is a very sweet young lady with shiny black fur and big gold eyes. She has problems with allergies about twice a year. Her tummy gets all red and itchy and she needs to have shots and a course of prednisone. It is hard for people to take on a kitty with issues. Still, we are hoping someone will give Ebony a chance for a home.
2. TOM is a handsome dude who needed a place to live. We welcomed him in the fall of 2021. After a complete workup with Dr. Moss, it was found that Tom had spleen cancer. His spleen was removed and he has recovered nicely. He is being watched closely for a recurrence. Tom is sweet and gentle and likes to sit on the counter and greet people as they come into the room. No one would ever guess Tom is 20 years old. He has adapted well to the shelter and we feel blessed to have him with us where he is safe and warm. We love Tom and will take good care of him.
3. FRIDA was living outside and had an obvious injury to her tail. Tail injuries are very serious for cats. As is the case with Frida, it often means the anal muscle is compromised and the cat has little control over bowel movements. A cat’s tail also has a lot to do with good balance. Frida’s balance is not good and often when she wants to jump, she misses her intended destination and falls. So, that said, this girl has a spontaneous attitude of sass. Yet, she does have some good moments. Frida can often be found snoozing on a cozy bed in the closet. We love Frida…sass and all. The shelter is her home.
4. CLEMENTINE, 4 years, is a pretty orange and white kitty. She arrived when her owner became ill and could no longer care for her. At first Clementine was very scared and curled up in a ball in the back of the cage. Now, she comes out to stretch and scratch on the sisal post. She does not play with the other cats. She has only one toy, a catnip banana, that she really loves. She holds the banana in her mouth and cries and cries very loudly. Clementine has an ongoing urinary tract issue. Because of that, her litter looks a little pink once in a while. We love Clementine and her quirky ways. She needs us and we are happy to give her a home.
5. POMPAY came to us in the fall of 2014. After having her left eye removed, Pompay settled into shelter life. Pompay was about 8 months old when she arrived….just too old to turn her lack of social skills around. She was friendly with the cats, but never wanted to form a bond with the volunteers who tried to socialize her. At one point she was struggling with severe gingivitis. The decision was made to remove her teeth in the hopes the inflammation of her gums would subside. In some cats that is the answer to infected gums, but it took months for Pompay to feel better. She is now eating fine and seems happy here at the shelter. She has chosen a window where she spends time watching the birds and the people coming and going. Pompay is one of our special kitties. We love her and want to keep her safe.
