Meet Chuck and Larry!!

These boys were found in a good Samaritan’s yard. They are estimated to be born early July. They will take time to come around to their new owners, but are total sweethearts once they are comfortable!! They can be handled and pet and love to purr. It will take a wonderfully patient and gentle person to adopt them. They absolutely deserve it. They are both beautiful with their long white hair and black spots.

It is best they go to a home with no dogs or calm dogs. They need a quiet place to come out of their shells, and we know they will flourish into amazing cats!

Will you give them a chance!?

If you are interested in adopting Chuck and Larry, please apply here https://www.care4strays.org/adoption-application.

‼️‼️Looking for URGENT help‼️‼️

We received a desperate plea to help these 2, 5 year old boys out. Willie (dark tabby) and Frankie (orange and white) need you! The woman who has them now took them from a bad situation but can not keep them. She can only keep them another 2 weeks before they have to go to the shelter. We have no space for these boys and are asking for a foster or adopter ASAP!
They are both extremely sweet and loving cats. More dog like than anything! They don’t mind being picked up, they will lay on the couch with you and love to play. They are good with kids, dogs and cats!!

Can you help!!!

If you can save these boys from going into a crowded caged life, please fill out an adoption application or foster application NOW!

Flik and Dot

Flik and Dot are so sweet! They love to play and love to snuggle! If you are looking for a pair of kittens that are good with kids, cats AND dogs…these 2 are it!!

Chuck and Larry

Chuck and Larry have become so much more social in the past 2 weeks since their foster family has had them. When they first came in they would hide and shut down. They would flinch when you would go to pet them, and sprint away as soon as you opened the door. Now they ask for pets, purr all day long and are laying around in the middle of the room. They are up for adoption and we know there’s a perfect home out there for them. A home that will be patient and allow them to learn about their new people and trust them. Fostering is such a rewarding way to help out homeless cats. Each cat brings its own personality and quirks, making fostering a unique experience every time. The joy of fostering comes from knowing you’re making a difference in that animal’s life, even if only for a short time.

Foster needed

We are looking for a foster home for these 2 beautiful boys who just came in. They are about 10-12 weeks old. They were scared, dirty, skinny and covered in fleas. Our vets are taking care of them and making sure they are nice and healthy before they go. Do you have room for these 2 little guys?? Foster application ➡️https://www.care4strays.org/foster-application

Momma and babies

Mom and babies are doing great and getting so big!! You can enjoy moments like this every week too when you foster!! How can you not want to see this every morning!?! We cover EVERYTHING!! All you need to do is enjoy the company! If you are ready to be a foster family, fill out an application here https://www.care4strays.org/foster-application As always, all donations are appreciated ➡️ https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3NEUK6CX2VUZP?ref_=wl_share
