A Few of our Adoptable Kitties
Marlee is a female medium haired Siamese mix, born in 2020. She was found living under a shed, near starvation. Marlee was extremely thin and malnourished, but sweet and desperate for affection. We nursed her back to health and a good weight. Now she's ready for her forever home where she will be loved and safe for the rest of her life. Marlee is now a very fluffy cat, and she has some sensitive areas where she doesn't like to be petted and can become agitated when touched there. She needs someone who will respect her boundaries and give her plenty of time to adjust to life in a loving home. She is happiest as an only pet, no small children please. She will love a young family who will play with her and keep her entertained.
Cara was adopted as a kitten in 2016, then found last July as a stray wandering a neighborhood in Simpsonville, SC. She had a deep wound under her right arm caused by her arm having been stuck through her collar. The wound was infected, and thankfully her finder got Cara to a wonderful Vet Clinic where she received care until we could pick her up and bring her home. Our director, Sheryl, flew out then rented a car and drove home with Cara. They had a lovely trip back and it gave Sheryl time to learn just how sweet and adorable Cara is! Cara had the wound under her arm stitched and stapled closed. It has been a long road to recovery, but she is now healed. We hope 2024 will be the year Cara finds a safe, loving home where she can be the little princess she deserves to be. Cara would be happiest as an only cat.
Mary Jane is a DSH white and grey cat, born in 2015. She is a sweet, timid girl looking for a quiet home. She loves attention, but can become over stimulated. She loves treats and wet food and the people who indulge her. Mary Jane prefers to be an only cat.
Penelope loves to greet people by flopping down on their feet and rubbing her head all over them. She also love to steal shoes! She isn't fond of other cats, when there are others near her she acts up when being petted by grabbing on to hands petting her. When she is in a room away from cats she is much calmer, playful and lovable.
Beautiful, fluffy Lewis was born to a feral mama on the porch of a nice couple who took him in so he wouldn't grow up feral too. He is pretty timid but likes to sit in a lap and play with toys. He likes other cats and people who are calm and quiet.
What about Feline Leukemia Cats?
Meet playful Hansel and Gretel, a brother and sister pair who live is our Feline Leukemia house with about 30 other cats that have tested positive for Feline Leukemia. While it is imperative to closely monitor the health and habits of cats that test positive for Feline Leukemia, their life spans are not always drastically shortened by the virus. Gretel happily runs on a kitty treadmill and hopes that Hansel will follow suit. We have many Feline Leukemia cats who have been with us for 5 - 10 years, and we have a report from a veterinarian who had a Leukemia cat that lived for 20 years.
You can read more about the causes and characteristics of Feline Leukemia by clicking HERE. The PAWSitively CATS Feline Leukemia kitties live in a separate area at our Woodland location, and they are extremely friendly. If you would like to meet these cats, please call to make an appointment. This bunch of cats is sure to win your heart! Become a supporter of Pawsitively Cats - Help Us, Help More Cats!
Is there Paperwork?
We will ask you to fill out an online adoption application. The application will be submitted for review, and you will be notified within 24 hours with the results of the review. Please see this link for more information on adopting a shelter cat: http://www.catster.com/lifestyle/shelter-adoption-fees
We want to make the best match for you and the cat, so that's why we ask questions and take time to review your application. Our goal is to make a forever match that will be beneficial for everyone.
We will verify addresses and rental information.
How Much Does it Cost to Adopt a Cat?
Our adoption fee for kittens under 1 year is $110. Adult adoption fee is $100. This fee helps us to recover some of the cost of preparing the cats and kittens for adoption. Each cat will be spayed or neutered, have current age appropriate vaccines and be tested for Feline Leukemia Virus and will be micro-chipped.
Your charitable donations will help us to rescue more cats and kittens.
