Here is a new exciting way for you to help our kitties. You choose a cat to sponsor for one year. Each month we will mail you a picture and a short profile of the kitty you have chosen. You decide the amount you want to send. Your monthly contribution will be used to support your kitty…with medicine, veterinary bills, toys, bed, and treats.
The Sponsor a Special NEADY Cat Program will focus on our long term residents – the older cats, the cats with ongoing medical problems, and those cats that have not been socialized enough to be considered “adoptable.”
Chances are these cats will never be offered a home. Since we are a no-kill shelter, these cats can live at the shelter for the rest of their lives. They will receive lots of love, and all the care and comfort they need. We need your help to do this.
1. BROWNIE, 15 years, was saved from euthanasia and brought to NEADY Cats. She has put on a little weight since her arrival and is now a beautiful lady with calico markings. Brownie is not a playful cat. She would rather snooze in her favorite quiet spot. We love Brownie and are happy to have her as part of our group of shelter residents. We will take good care of her, and she will be safe with us
2. LUCKY, 10 years, was dropped off by her owner. The lady said she just could not care for her any longer. When Lucky arrived, she had a heart problem, a urinary infection, tested positive for thyroid problems, had terrible diarrhea, and weighed only 5 pounds. We found a diet that agreed with her, put her on thyroid meds, and treated her urinary infection. For a long time, Lucky would not come out of her cage. She now spends time out with the other cats but does not mingle with them. We are hoping Lucky’s health will improve and she will enjoy many more years at the shelter.
3. Bridget was a lost kitty. She was very friendly the day she arrived. As soon as she was put in a cage, she reverted to being a cat with a chip on her shoulder and has never recovered. We can pat her on the head when we give her treats. She likes to play with a string toy, but mostly stays to herself and does not want our attention. Bridget has a few special cat pals at the shelter but has never cozied up with a particular volunteer. She prefers to be left alone. Her health is good. Bridget is beautiful to look at. She has a little heart on her nose and lovely close cropped fur. Bridget has had one failed placement. We feel Bridget will never have her chance at a forever home. We love Bridget despite her personality. She is welcome to live with us at the shelter.
4. SALLY, 3 years, was a stray from Fitchburg, MA. Sally has a very slight heart murmur. We had testing done and it appears her heart will never be an issue. Sally is sweet and very playful. Although she is fine with people, she does not play well with other cats. She wants to be an only cat and soak up all the attention. Sally is special and we are hoping someone will give her a home. She is sure to be a wonderful friend.
5. SERENA, 10 years, is a pretty tortie who wants attention. But then she can suddenly nip. Serena is a very large lady who loves to play, especially with a laser light. Serena now lives in the NEADY Cat office. She has a special pink bed where she loves to snooze. Serena has been at NEADY Cats for 2 years and will probably not get her chance for a home. We love her and she can stay here as long as she needs us.
6. LOLA is a lovely lady in a beautiful sleek black coat. She arrived in 2016. Unfortunately, she immediately sided up with a couple of feisty cats and spent all her time up high on the ramps. She became untouchable. Now, after the shelter moved to a new location, for some reason only known to Lola, she has made a turn around. She loves to watch the birds on the birdfeeder and has her favorite spot on a sisal post. I see improvement every day with Lola. If she continues to progress, I truly believe Lola will find a home. I think she is just waiting for that special someone to come along. When that happens, Lola will be adopted. I see good things in Lola’s future.
