HELP THIS CAT FIND A HOME. URGENT NEED FOR ADOPTION!

Hi my name is Calyx and I am a shorthaired, spotted tabby mix. I have been waiting for a long time to find a home. I look and act like a Bengal or Ocicat because I have a long face with long legs like a wild Serval. I was owner surrender to the shelter. My owners did not get me spayed or vaccinated. I had a litter of 6 kittens and I was tried to take care of them. I got deathly sick and my owners took me to the shelter instead of a vet because they could not afford veterinary care. I had a common virus that could have been prevented if I was vaccinated. I ended up in foster care at Small Lives Matter Kitten Rescue. My foster mom gave us medicine to ease our pain, so we could all eat again. I was in pathetic shape. All the fur on my front legs and chest had fallen off due to my drooling. I was exhausted.

That was weeks and weeks ago! We are now healthy and having lots of fun at Frisky Cat Cafe. My six little ones are energetic, sweet and cuddly. We settled in at the cafe very easily. Here is what my foster mom say about me - "Calyx is a sweet momma cat. She took very good care of her babies. She is one of the few mother cats that transitioned easily into the cafe. She is tolerant of the other cats and gets along well with the younger cats and kittens. She is always calling her babies over for a bath and watches them intently at the cafe. She is a big, athletic beauty and flies through air to catch the feather wand toys. She has a strong personality and would do ok with dogs."

Calyx and her kittens are available for adoption at the Frisky Cat Cafe in St Augustine. 1092 Ponce De Leon Blvd (US 1). Stop in for a visit. If interested, please complete and adoption application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SLMR/Cat.

I come from a litter of 6 kittens and my momma tried to take care of us. We got deathly sick and my owners took us to the shelter instead of a vet because they could not afford veterinary care. I had a common virus that could have been prevented if momma and us babies were vaccinated. This virus gave us an upper respiratory infection along with ulcers in our mouths and throats. We could not eat. It is a very contagious virus and not many rescues wanted to take us. We ended up in foster care at Small Lives Matter Kitten Rescue. My foster mom gave us medicine to ease our pain, so we could all eat again. Momma was in scary shape and we were not sure if she was going to be ok. All the fur on momma's front legs and chest had fallen off due to her drooling. She was exhausted. But our foster hero mom got momma eating again and she started getting more energy. She started cleaning us and playing with us! We were all so happy to have momma feeling well again!

Small Lives Matter Kitten Rescue

Our rescue is committed to saving and finding homes for the thousands of vulnerable kitten orphans that will die without our life saving intervention. We advocate education for sterilization and surrender prevention to end the kitten cycle. Our rescue is devoted to homeless kittens and providing the love and care they deserve.

Our Mission

Kittens under eight weeks old are one of the most at-risk populations in the United States, being killed or allowed to die by the hundreds of thousands every year. Our vision is that all neonatal, sick and other at-risk kittens are given a chance to grow and thrive through life-saving fosters and then adoption. Join us in the fight to stop euthanasia of orphaned kittens by adopting a rescued kitten and share our dream that one day animals will no longer be killed in America's shelters.

We believe every life is important, no matter how small.
