From Nickie B.:

My sister and I found a poor kitty my sister’s dog had it cornered near her garage. Anyway, the poor thing had a leaf stuck to its face, so I knew something was terribly wrong with it. I tried to give it some food so I could get a better look at it, and that’s about all it took. As soon as I saw the condition it’s face was in, I immediately took it to the vet. The kitty basically has a terribly infected abcess on the side of his face — probably from a fight with another cat since he is an unaltered male. His eye is unrecognizable and he can’t eat normally (I’m guessing from the pain — he was able to lick some wet food – as you can imagine, he is VERY thin). The first thing we did was run a Feline Luke test that came back negative. At that point we named him Clem. The vet is keeping Clem over the weekend, treating with antibiotics and fluids. As long as things go well over the weekend, he will perform surgery in which Clem will likely lose his eye. Fortunately, our vet is working with us and giving us a discount, however, it’s estimating the cost to be around $250 after treatment, surgery and neuter. I even asked the vet if he needed an office kitty! Unfortunately, he doesn’t. Clem is a super sweet, nice and beautiful bow-tie kitty which is why I couldn’t resist him. He showed no aggression towards us or the vet at all. Was very patient during what I’m sure was a painful exam. Clem’s recovery and subsequent adjustment to being a one-eyed cat will take some time and patience.

Tori is the most sweet loving kitty who was dumped at a kill shelter.

Come to find out she has mega colon and needs to be on medication and special food for life. She is 2-3 years old and a complete love bug lap cat who needs a foster home. She gets along with other cats but needs to be separated for feedings because of her special food.

You know what looks good under the Christmas tree? An Eli!!! Eli loves to give kisses, knows sit, down, come, stay, leave it, climb (on my bed when told) and learning no bark. He is great on walks, loves kids and playing ball. He sleeps in the bedroom on his bed at night. He is crate trained and just need to be told to “Kennel up” while pointing in the direction of kennel. When he is alone during the day, he stays in the laundry room with a gate up in the door and the radio on for company.

“I would love to join your family and complete your home! I am full of love and you can see it in my eyes, I have a soft heart and love to please!”

If you are looking for a beautiful, loving cat that won’t be into things, this is the cat for you! She is very laid back, loves to be held and when she sits in your lap she will knead on you. She loves to lay on paperbags, be scratched by her tail and on the side of her face. She does not mind baths.

She dislikes her litter being dirty and hates rough play. She likes to drink out of the faucet but will drink out of her bowl. She is on Urinary Food so that she will not get urinary tract infections. Her big Booda Box litter box, bowl and any remaining special food will go with her. She is 8 years old and DECLAWED. Her adoption fee if $75.00
