Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation

Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation We are a non-profit no kill animal shelter for cats in Riverside, CA In 1972, Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation was founded by Hettie L. Perry (1905-1996).

Hettie -- affectionately known as The Cat Lady of Pasadena -- and her very patient husband, fed, nursed, groomed and cared for cats in their private home. Hettie's life was filled with love for helping unwanted homeless cats. Hettie named Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation after a cat named "Room 8" that she had read about who was the mascot at a Los Angeles county elementary school for 16 years. The

current shelter in Jurupa Valley, California was built by Hettie in the mid-1980’s and continues her vision of taking in, caring for, and providing and finding cats of all ages a place to feel loved and safe. Our no-cage environment provides a safe and caring home for approximately 85 cats awaiting adoption, as well as lifetime care for those who cannot be placed, including senior cats who will live out their lives in a comfortable setting. Our cattery is divided into eight separate rooms and each room has an attached outdoor, enclosed patio area where the cats can get fresh air and lounge in the sun on benches and other furniture. We are open by appointment only. Adoption procedures include completing an application and, if approved, paying an adoption fee for each cat or kitten.

SSMSMC (Single Siamese male seeking male companionship). Is that a thing? Angel is a sweet boy who loves men. Although he will tolerate women as a spare human he really loves men. He’s no lightweight either at 17 pounds but he is considerate and lies down so you can give him pets mainly on his head and chin. He is five years old and fully vetted. If you’d like to meet this loverboy drop us a pm. If not please share so we can find him his own home for Christmas. ❤️🐱

Duchess is an animal control gal that was pulled last month. She’s about 11 years old (estimated) and has thyroid issues. Her pills are $25 for two months and she eats regular food. If you know someone that would like a good senior gal that wants to be an only cat please drop us a pm. If not please share our post? We’d love to see her find a home for Christmas. (Riverside, California) ❤️🐱🎄

In case you were wondering Helenia is still hanging in there. She’s quite the picky eater but she is slowly gaining. It is unfortunate she was not gotten help sooner as her vision does seem to be gone. Our veterinarian will likely recommend a double enucleation if the eyeballs are not healthy enough to be left. She is full of purrs and biscuits and doesn’t act like she is in pain. ❤️🐱

If you’d like to help us either with the cost of her surgery you can donate via Zelle (951) 681-9609 or send her some fancy food (Sheba)! We know it isn’t the healthiest, but it’s what this picky gal likes. 😫🙄

Come on down and get a cat or kitten.

This little guy was brought to us from San Jacinto ac. He had a 4 pm appointment with the needle because of the holiday and his medical condition. He doesn’t have a name yet, but he’ll need one before Friday when he goes into see the vet for his left leg that is thought to be broken from being stuck in the slats of a fence. He’s happy to be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow in foster. We’re thankful for you and your support especially during the last few days. (Yes, he is already on antibiotics and pain meds for his leg.) ❤️🐱

May the purrs of a happy but sick kitten help remind you that there is always something to be thankful for. Miss Helenia is thankful to be warm with food and meds to fix her eyes. Maybe tomorrow we will tackle the bath. Good night from Helenia and Room 8. ☺️🤐🤞🏻

More on the second challenge of yesterday. This is a little footage from where they were found. When all was said and done it did end up being 12 kittens (the three black ones were hard to see 😉). Thank you for your support. We truly appreciate it. It is a holiday week and many of our volunteers are out of town or preparing for time with their families. We are thankful for Gail and her team for keeping it going during the holiday, but it is overwhelming for the team. ❤️🐱 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1XRP102VN3UX2?ref_=wl_share Or Zelle (951) 681-9609.

Update on Van Gogh. He’s at the vets office today being loved on by the staff. Isn’t he the sweetest? ❤️🐱

Miss Mellie is much the same. She has ringworm as well as calicci. No big deal but one more thing to work on. She’s getting more interested in what’s going on around her and starting to open her eyes although they are still pretty red and look painful. She has sight but it’s hard to say exactly what her eyes look like without stressing her out. She’s very sweet as you can see in the clip. And I’ve included a link of the only food the queen is eating right now. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Should you feel like sending her some. ❤️🐱 https://a.co/d/0ieHQpFC https://a.co/d/0hb2gQGs Our address is 8354 63rd Street, Jurupa Valley, CA 92509
