Kitty Korner: Special Cats Who Need Special People

Free Feral Free Fur-All

Some cats at our shelter have not been properly socialized with humans and are very difficult to place. Instead of confining them to cages, we offer these cats for free to caring people to make a better life for them. WAHS expects adopters to provide food, shelter and vet care when necessary. In exchange, WAHS will provide rabies,  distemper and feline leukemia vaccinations  to your cat for the duration of your pairing.

      Felix— Too Much Unhealthful Stress in Current Home
           
 

Felix is a 6-ish-year old, affectionate, well tempered, orange tabby, who has never shown inappropriate clawing behavior. He even has sported Soft Paws from time to time. His personality can be rather timid at times. He's not that type of cat that will beg for your attention 24/7. He loves to sit next to you and be petted and enjoys cuddling on your lap if the mood strikes him. He also loves to be groomed, and adores sitting between the shower curtain/liner when you take a shower. Felix also has a mischievous side and loves to play. His favorite toys include laser pointers, fake fur balls, and Q-tips. He also loves to have a window open so he can get some fresh air while watching the birds and squirrels outside.

 

 

Felix suffers from FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease). I recently was able to bring his symptoms under control by changing his diet to Royal Canin Urinary SS 30 (can be purchased at local pet supply stores/ online/vets offices). It's worked wonders for him.

Unfortunately, when Felix suffered from the symptoms of FLUTD the relationship between him and my other cat (his male sibling) was severely altered. The two cat's no longer get along and the constant aggression between the two cats is taking a toll on Felix's health.  We've spent almost a year now trying to correct the issue and lower the stress level between the two, but it's just not happening. Felix is currently on anti-anxiety medication to help him deal with the stress while he is still living with us. We also keep the cat's separated 24/7 right now, which is not fair to either of them due to the small size of our house.

I really hate having to re-home him, but even the vet has agreed that is the next best step. He no longer feels comfortable in our home and tries to escape outdoors at every opportunity. I feel he will be better off in single pet home. Perhaps even in a safe indoor/outdoor environment if one can be found.

I'd really love to find him a good home. I am willing to help out on the costs of the adoption and will provide a few months supply of his food to start you off with. I'll also send his supplies along with him, which consist of: a carrier, water fountain, and his favorite scratching posts, bed and toys. I also will make a donation to the WAHS when he's adopted.

Felix deserves to be happy, safe and in a stress free home - so please consider adopting him. He truly is a lovable little cat, who will be sure to work his way into your heart!

       
      Lila Looking for a home
           
 

 

I came in as a stray. I’m a gorgeous medium haired white cat with blue eyes. Unfortunately I am completely deaf. At about a year old I am very much a kitten who loves to play. I do not mind other cats and want to play with them. I’m not so sure about dogs though. No small children because sudden movements frighten me!!! I meow very loud when I talk to you because I can’t hear myself. Please come see how wonderful I am at the WAHS.

Zombie Apparel will donate $25.00 to WAHS when Lila is adopted!

       
 
 

Tony ADOPTED!

Tony was surrendered by the family of a cat hoarder and has been one of the darlings of the cat department ever since. He is very much a "people cat" and loves to be held and brushed. He loves to visit with the other cats and is a hit with the kittens who he plays with very patiently in the play area. Tony needs a special home as he seems to have been traumatized by all the change in his life. He was an outdoor cat who is now trying to adjust not only to indoor living but being in a cage most of the time. He has been with us for many months and would love to have you come visit him and see if your home could be the one.
