Cats and Kittens for Adoption

SPECIAL NEEDS CATS

In addition to our usual cats and kittens we have some with special needs. Some have long-term medical issues and others have not been completely socialized. If you have a heart for furry creatures who need someone kind enough to give them the forever home they deserve, please consider adopting one of these special little ones.

TESSA is a gorgeous girl (DOB: 1/06) that needs a patient family to help her overcome her extreme shyness. She’s a long-haired brown Tabby with the most gorgeous green eyes you’ll ever see. Many times we find her hiding and have to coax her out with treats or a brush, but just as often we’ll see her cuddled with another cat. For this reason she would need to go to a home with another cat for companionship. Tessa can be seen at Princeton’s Meow.

BEAUTY is a “beauty” of a girl (DOB: 11/07) that is extremely shy with people. She looks to be a Norwegian Forest Cat mix. Since we’ve had her we’ve noticed she likes the company of other cats, but people…not so much. She will require a very patient person to work with her since she has a mistrust of humans. Some of our volunteers have been able to make progress with her, but it’s been slow-going. If you’re game, why not give her a chance? Beauty can be seen at Princeton’s Meow.

SASSY is a gorgeous girl (DOB: 12/03) that has been at Princeton’s for some time now. People have commented that her name can definitely fit her personality! We believe she’s a Norwegian Forest Cat mix. Sassy is declawed and likes to keep to herself, so she’d be happiest as an only cat. She spends most of her days sleeping in the sun and will occasionally let us brush her, but overall she’s a quiet, unassuming girl. Sassy can be seen at Princeton’s Meow.

TOM and KITTY are in need of a special home as both have tested positive for FIV. This disease cannot be contracted to people but can be passed to other cats, so they need their own home. With good care FIV cats can live long and happy lives. They are both about 2 years old. they are both VERY loving, attentive, purry and playful. Kitty is more outgoing and Tom likes laps. They are spayed and neutered and have all their shots. If you are interested in adopting them, we offer a two-for-one special. If interested, please contact FOSTER PARENT. For more info about FIV see http://www.marleyfund.com/mgmtfelv.aspx#routine.

EMERIL is a quiet, affectionate fellow that would like nothing better to cuddle up with you or wind around your legs to keep you company. Although he carries the FIV virus, he's healthy and a big fellow that weighs around 14 pounds and can live a long life with routine health checkups. As the picture shows, he has a beautiful long-hair gray coat and would like to share his winter warmth with a loving family.
He is an FIV positive cat and can be seen by appointment. Please email contact@cabarrusspayneuter.org or call (704) 784-6304. For more info about FIV see http://www.marleyfund.com/mgmtfelv.aspx#routine.

LETTERS FROM HAPPY ADOPTERS

"Minnie went under the couch when brought home, for about two hours, then decided she would come out and claim her new home. She sleeps with me and sits on my lap constantly. I feel she has saved my life. I have been alone for two years – after being married 40 years, my husband passed away."

"Thanks again for all your help in my search for the perfect companion. Tessa has become my biggest joy in life and I’m so happy I rescued her. She’s definitely returned the favor with her love every day."

"Carmella is doing great! She is such the perfect cat for us! She is crazier than ever! She loves to run around and play! She even likes to play hide and seek! She is also very talkative, which we absolutely love! We couldn't have picked a better cat! Although, we think that she picked us! "

"I want to thank you all for your help and I just want to let you know that what you all do is wonderful. To find people that care enough and volunteer their time to help these animals is to be commended. I wish I didn't have to choose just one, because all of your cats were amazing. "

"Sweetie has fit right in. We have definitely found out where she got her name, she has been the most loving animal I have ever
seen. We thank you very much for such a lovely addition to our family."

" SHE IS THE GREATEST ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY AND SHE IS LOVED VERY MUCH!! I WILL SEND YOU PICTURES AND KEEP YOU POSTED BUT WE WILL NEVER RETURN HER. WE LOVE HER AND SHE IS SOO SWEET. THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP. GOD HAS PUT HER HERE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE, I HOPE YOU PLACE HER FRIENDS SOON. "
"Just wanted to update everyone about Mai Tai. I adopted her a couple of months ago from Princeton's Meow. She is doing great, she has adjusted well. She is now my best friend, she talks to me, sleeps with me and follows me around. She greets me at the door when I come home, the perfect animal for me. I will send pictures as soon as I get some. Wanted to say thank you for all you do, it is a wonderful thing taking care of animals. I am so lucky to have found the perfect cat for me. Thank you- Morgan "
"Hank is a joy to have. We are so happy that we saw him and gave him a home. Thank you sooo much for taking care of him. "
"Charger is doing great! The first thing he did when we got home was jump out of the carrier and use his litter box. Him and my boys get along great. Charger and my two year old took a nap together for about two hours. You would think he lived here all his life. Most of all, my wife LOVES him. Thank you so much for allowing Charger to come home with us. He is such a sweet boy. When I come home from work in the mornings, as soon as he hears the door he comes running. I really can't thank you enough. You all do such a wonderful job there. Please feel free to use any of this on your website. "
"We are loving Ginger our new addition. I took her to the vet yesterday for a bath and nail trim and she is a love muffin. She sleeps on the bed with us and is just so full of love "
"I adopted Othello not too long ago and I wanted to let everyone know what a wonderful cat and pal I have been given. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful friend! He is such a sweetheart. I hope anyone reading this will consider adopting a cat. They will quickly become a member of your family and a wonderful pet. "

"Emma and I are doing great!! She is so loving. She has slept at the bottom of my bed since the second night. When I am home at night, she either sits on my lap or on the back of the couch with me. I never knew a cat could be like this. She is a joy."
