Healing Animal Scars - Sonya's Cat & Animal Rescue Society

Healing Animal Scars - Sonya's Cat & Animal Rescue Society Kitty adoptions, plus feral and stray cat TNR services. Healing Animal SCARS has rescued thousands of cats and kittens since we began in May 2006.

Please vote for us to win a grant Make sure you're using this commission-free link for donations:

https://mygivingcircle.org/healing-animal-scars-cat-rescue/free We ensure every cat is spayed or neutered to prevent further overpopulation. We are a private, not-for-profit home-based rescue, and we reserve our limited space for feral cats (as regular shelters would be able to accept tame stray cats

) and often rescue kittens that are the offspring of feral colonies. We thoroughly screen adopters to ensure they will be responsible and understand that a pet is a lifetime commitment. We spend at least $500 per animal to get it ready for adoption, so we ask a donation of $250 when you are adopting a cat or $300 to adopt a kitten. The animal comes spayed or neutered, with 2 or 3 sets of vaccines, tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, microchipped and treated for parasites and any known health conditions.

Steven Springer and his sissy Mackenzie are a bonded pair who need to find a home where they can be together furever. They were abandoned and subsequently found near Spring Garden Road. We believe that they were thrown from a car because Steven had a badly broken leg and other injuries.
Fortunately we were able to get an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon within 2 days of rescuing him, and Steven has a plate, four screws and two wires holding his broken leg together. He had to remain on cage rest for 4 weeks to allow the bone to heal. We are so happy to announce that his recovery period is over, and he has been neutered and is ready for adoption with his sister Mackenzie, who has also been fully vetted and spayed.

Our kittens are tested for feline leukemia, vaccinated twice, spayed and neutered, microchipped and they come with a free trial of 6 weeks of pet health insurance.

We spend a minimum of $500 getting each healthy kitten ready for adoption. And Stevens case, we have spent nearly $5,000 on his Veterinary Health Care. Regardless of the amount spent, we ask for the same small adoption fee for every kitten, only $350. So for this bonded pair, the amount would only be $700.

Call Sonya at 902-469-6369 for a discussion to see if you might be the ideal adopter. Then you can complete an application which is available as a Google Document that you can find pin to the featured posts on our Facebook group and page, or a Microsoft Word document that can be emailed to you

🚨 WANTED: One human brave enough to adopt a pair of maniac kittens with the Zoomies 🚨

Meet Steven Springer – a cat so iconic, he doesn’t just walk into a room… he enters with menace. 🐈‍⬛💥

According to foster mom Sonya:
🔹 “He tried to kill me and then threatened to steal my identity.”
🔹 “No he had a gun.”
🔹 “He did let me pet his tummy before taking my lunch money.”
…And honestly? That sounds about right.

Steven is a little cat with BIG feelings. One minute he’s a puddle in your arms 🍼, the next he’s racing down the hallway with his sister Mackenzie. They are the full experience. The drama. The passion. The ✨ chaos. ✨

Not for the faint of heart – but for the bold and the brave, Steven and Mackenzie are loyal, hilarious, and 100% unforgettable.

💬 Come meet this adorable bonded pair. They might cuddle. They might steal your soul. It’s all part of the charm.

ARE YOU THE PURR-FECT HUMAN FOR THIS BONDED PAIR?

1. Must understand that there is no such thing as a soft launch. You meet Steven and Mackenzie, you give them squeeze up treats daily, you move in together. They will need a U-haul for their belongings.

2. Must have strong emotional intelligence and disposable income for toys and treats. Non-negotiable.

3. Must get pet health insurance to cover any future medical needs

4. Must give updates to the foster mom letting us know about their silly antics in their new home.

People keep asking if they can adopt just one.
But how do you explain that some hearts only beat right when they’re together?

We’ve been fostering this bonded pair for a while now. They are siblings by blood, and they are soulmates in every way that matters. From day one, they’ve done everything together — sleeping, grooming, playing, even learning to trust again. 🧡

It breaks my heart a little every time someone wants to split them up because “they only want one.” If you saw the way they wrap their paws around each other, the way one always waits for the other — you’d understand.

They stay together, or they stay here.
Because love like this deserves to stay whole. 🐾

🚨UNHINGED ADOPTION POST: THE CHAOS OVERLORDS HAVE ARRIVED🚨
PLEASE REMOVE YOUR SHOES AND YOUR EGO—YOU’RE ENTERING THEIR DOMAIN NOW.

Meet these sîly black meatballs.
Is it a kitten?
Is it a banshee in disguise?
Is it the CEO of unprovoked emotional outbursts?

Yes.
Yes to ALL of it.

🔥 NAME: Unknown
🧠 Brain activity: A single bean ricocheting around at lightspeed
🗣️ Voice: LOUD. Frequent. Non-negotiable.
🌪️ Aura: Screams in caps lock. Permanently stuck in “WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S NOT TIME TO EAT??” mode

HERE’S WHAT YOU’RE GETTING INTO:

Meows like they’ve been betrayed in a telenovela

Sprints like they’re on fire and the floor is made of LEGOs

Glares at you while knocking stuff off counters like a tiny mob boss

Has opinions about EVERYTHING and will share them—frequently and with volume

Physically 3 amd a half lbs. Emotionally 9 feet tall and slightly dangerous

⚠️ THIS IS NOT A STARTER KITTEN.
This is a full-fledged diplomat from the Land of Purrs and Furry Feet.
They don’t walk. They stomp.
They don’t nap. They plot.
They don’t purr. They summon thunder.

✨ SEEKING A HOME THAT:
✅ Understands kitten theater energy
✅ Has snacks and no rules
✅ Accepts frequent verbal abuse in exchange for the occasional cuddle
✅ Knows they’re not adopting a pet… they’re gaining a dictator with toe beans

You will not own these kittens.
You will become staff.
You will question your choices as they sit on your keyboard and scream into your camera like a gremlin on Zoom.
