Maneki Neko Cat Rescue

05/09/2024

Hey, I’m Bob Marley, the coolest cat in the house, ready to bring some good vibes into your life. Now, don’t let my laid-back name fool you—I’m a “Buffalo Soldier” when it comes to exploring new territories. I might take a minute to get my bearings, but once I feel the rhythm of the place, I’m all in, marching to the beat of my own drum.

When I’m feeling brave, you’ll know it. That’s when the magic happens—loud purrs that could rival the sweetest reggae tunes, head bunts that’ll have you swaying, and winding around your legs like I’m dancing to “Stir It Up.” And let me tell you, when I hop up on the couch for some love, it’s like a “One Love” moment—you and me, just chilling, feeling irie.

So, if you’re looking for a cat who’s got the courage to explore, the charm to win you over, and the love to share, I’m your guy. Let’s “Get Together” and make our own little paradise right here at home.

Can you imagine being with your guardian for 17 years and then having her pass away suddenly?

Imagine the grief and fear. The confusion. The chaos.

That was the reality for dear old Phillipa when her guardian, Maria passed away. Phillipa’s world was immediately turned upside down.

But Maria had foresight and planned well ahead. She had a Will in place that not only ensured her estate was managed, but that Phillipa was taken care of until her very last day. Phillipa was placed in a permanent foster care arrangement with Maneki Neko Cat Rescue.

Sadly, this is not the reality for every cat in Phillipa's situation. All too often, we receive urgent pleas from the community after a beloved family member has passed away, only to find that the pets are left without a plan. Many will end up in pounds, their fate unknown.

Creating a Will is a crucial way to safeguard every member of your family—both two-legged and four-legged. That's why I'm reaching out to you now, with an important offer from Safewill, a trusted digital will-writing platform.

https://safewill.com/manekineko

From September 2-9, Safewill would like to offer all Maneki Neko Cat Rescue supporters the opportunity to make a legal Will for free!

And the process couldn’t be simpler! Click here to start: https://safewill.com/manekineko

Having a legal Will in place is important to protect all members of your family. So first, make sure they are taken care of. Then if you can, leave the gift of a kinder future for felines.

Phillipa was definitely one of the lucky ones. Help us ensure others are just as lucky.

My dearest future companion,

Permit me, if you will, to introduce myself—Merlin, a humble feline of tender sensibilities, seeking a home where quietude reigns and gentle patience is the order of the day. At first meeting, you may find me somewhat reserved, for the world, in all its vastness, can be a daunting place for one such as I, who prefers to tread softly and with great care.

Once I grow accustomed to my surroundings, and to you, dear friend, you will find me eager to curl up beside you at the close of day, content to share in the warmth of your company. Though I may require time to fully trust, I assure you that the love I have to give is boundless, and the reward for your patience will be a steadfast and loyal companion.

So, if you have a quiet home and a heart full of kindness, perhaps you might consider making room in your life for a gentle fellow like myself. Together, we shall write a story of friendship and affection that will warm the coldest of nights.

Yours most sincerely and faithfully, Merlin.

Let's celebrate hump day with a meowzing adoption tail.

"Agatha (previously Dinghy) is an absolute delight. She is sweet and playful and always making us laugh with her antics. She loves rolling around in the bathroom sink and watching the world from her window hammocks. Her sleek black fur means she has the ability to disappear into the shadows at any moment but will happily reappear for a treat. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much for your amazing work. "

We love seeing our cats living their best lives with you. If you have an adoption tail to share please send us an update and don't forget to include photos or videos.

Hello future snuggle buddy. I'm Oriena, and I'm here to be your perfect match in every way imaginable. If you're into sweet, friendly, and smoochy tabbies, then guess what? You've hit the jackpot, my friend!

Do you like snuggles? Creamy cat treats? Cozy beds with blankets so soft they make you want to purr? Well, guess what? I'm all about that life! It's like we're reading each other's minds.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to swipe right and embark on the adventure of a lifetime with me? Together, we'll snuggle, snack, and play until the sun comes up—or at least until it's time for a catnap. Let's make some memories and leave a trail of catnip in our wake. 😸💕

Hello! My name is Nigella, and I'm a lively and lovable ginger and white kitten, named after the famous foodie Nigella Lawson because, like her, I have a deep appreciation for all things delicious. I'm already a connoisseur of tasty treats and a master at finding the best leftovers from my toddler human's dinner.

I'm a bundle of energy and fun, always ready for a round of zoomies or a game of chasing toys around the house. One of my favorite activities is pouncing on wiggly toes under blankets – it's so much fun! When it's time to wind down, you'll find me snoozing in a sunny window, curled up on the back of the couch, or snuggling up with you on the bed at night. My purr is the perfect lullaby to soothe you to sleep.

I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love of food, fun, and cuddles. I get along well with other like-minded cats and don't mind little humans, so I'd fit in perfectly with a family. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate kitten who will bring joy and warmth to your home, I'm the one for you!

Meet Bonnie, a one-eyed wonder with a heart as big as Texas and a spirit that’s tough as nails. Life’s thrown her a few curveballs, but this little lady knows how to bounce back. Bonnie’s been through the wringer, but beneath that shy exterior lies a sweet soul just waiting to be discovered.

She might be a bit standoffish at first, sizing you up with her keen eye, but don’t be fooled. With a little patience and some well-timed treats, Bonnie’s walls start to crumble. Soon enough, she’ll be curling up next to you, purring contentedly, and showing you that soft, smoochy side she keeps tucked away for those she trusts.

If you’ve got a soft spot for a gal with grit, a heart of gold, and a playful spirit, Bonnie’s the one for you. She may have lost an eye, but she’ll see right into your heart—and trust me, she’s ready to steal it.

Oh, hello there! I’m Edith, a little bundle of fur with a heart full of curiosity and just a pinch of sass. At first glance, I might seem a bit shy, the sort who peeks around corners and observes from a safe distance. But let me tell you, I’m full of surprises, and once I get to know you, we’ll be the best of friends, just like the chums in a jolly good adventure.

You see, I’m rather like a piece of cheese—just the sort that melts delightfully when given a bit of warmth (or, in my case, a tasty treat or a gentle chin scritch). Once I’m settled in and feel safe, you’ll find that I’m not just another shy little kitten. No, I’ve got a bit of s***k, and I’ll soon be ruling your home with my adorable antics and just a dash of sass.

So, if you’re looking for a little adventurer who’s shy at first but soon reveals a world of fun and charm, then I’m your Edith. Together, we’ll have the most marvelous time, full of play, purrs, and perhaps a bit of mischief. Who knows what jolly japes we’ll get up to in our cozy little home?

Allow me to introduce myself—Desdemona Salem, though you may call me anything you fancy, as long as it’s not late for dinner, of course. Ah, dinner—a most intriguing affair, wouldn’t you say? But more on that later.

I am what some might call a sleek black goddess of the night, though I prefer to think of myself as a connoisseur of the mysterious and the daring. The shadows are my playground, and I glide through the house with a grace that can only be described as otherworldly. Imagine, if you will, a figure lurking in the dark, poised to pounce—yes, that’s me, emerging from the cat tunnel, ready to surprise an unsuspecting human or a mouse toy left foolishly in my path. It’s all in good fun, of course, but one can’t deny the thrill of the chase.

So, dear reader, if you fancy yourself someone with an appreciation for the mysterious and the daring, someone who revels in the unexpected, then perhaps our paths are destined to cross. And when they do, rest assured, it will be an encounter you won’t soon forget.

Sooki is a majestic-looking cat with a striking resemblance to a lion, but don't let his appearance fool you—he's a big softie at heart!

He’s ready to bring his unique blend of charm and cuddles to a home that understands his need for a little personal space and a lot of love!
