She’s cute. Someone snap her up!

A490480
Approx 3 year old spayed female Siamese

This girl came into the shelter infested with fleas and she had a skin infection which both were treated. She is shy at first but once she warms up to you, she will make "biscuits", roll over for attention, etc. She will need a patient home and possibly best without small kids as we have noticed here at the shelter that loud noises scare this girl and then she hides under her blanket.

Adoption hours are Monday-Friday 11:00-3:30 & Saturday 8:00-11:30

This has got to be a Cornish or Devon Rex mix! Someone snap her up. Rare around these parts.

My name is Shirley Temple and I can’t believe I still haven’t been adopted. Look at me - I’m gorgeous! I get along very well with other cats and would be a great companion for your resident cat.

I am a sassy and classy girl who is very good about making her opinion known--I am quite vocal. I am a a two-year-old curly haired princess. I always want to be around my people, getting attention, and getting cuddles and pets. I like to sleep right night to you, and my purr can be heard from across the house. I don’t like being picked up, but can you blame me? Would you want to be picked up by your belly all the time? I’m playful and will be a great constant companion for someone. I’m a diva, but I also do very well with other cats and would make a great companion for another cat. Send us a message to meet me in my foster home because I do not attend events. Remember…Diva.

These 4 came in today. They were headed for a shelter, so we stepped in to avoid that. 3 boys and 1 girl, getting checked in and available to adopt within a week!

Wilmington NC area residents over 21 can find an adoption application at felinematchmakers.org

If you’d like to foster them all, foster applications are also on the website!

Exactly why we now only adopt kittens in pairs or to homes with another cat. Behaviorists agree.

Congress introduced a bill that would FINALLY make the worst abuses in USDA-licensed puppy mills ILLEGAL! Breeders would be required to give dogs daily exercise, professional veterinary care for illnesses or injuries, at least two meals a day and much more.

The Puppy Protection Act is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to save MILLIONS of dogs from suffering! Tell Congress to pass this crucial bill!

Ask your Representative to support the Puppy Protection Act

Are you prepared?

UPDATE: They are safe until after the storm passes, but WE NEED TRANSPORT! They are in Lexington, NC, a 3.5 hour drive from Wilmington. It's a full day, but we will pull these 2 and another from a euthanasia list. Please share and let's find friends who can pull this off!!!

UPDATE: We have a foster and also a potential adopter for the Siamese, but we can not acquire transportation. It's a 3.5 hour drive one way. Any takers that can go tomorrow? It's a volunteer gig, no money in it, but you'd be saving a few cats from euthanasia. Lexington, NC.

UPDATE:
Siamese is a female stray, of uncertain age, scared and needs help relaxing.
The white one is a male 3 year old, very friendly and nice.

Hey Siamese lovers! These 2 need rescue from a kill shelter. We don't have room, but could take them in if we have good applications before 2p. I don't know anything about them other than these pictures. If you can foster or adopt one or both of these lovelies, get an app in NOW from felinematchmakers.org

Hope everyone is enjoying the Olympics!
But don’t forget that rescues run the Olympics every year, saving as many as we can from sickness and euthanasia. Please give what you can to your local rescue group. It’s a race for survival and sometimes we feel like we are loosing.

We are seeking a volunteer to help us with fundraising. Are you self motivated? We have tons of ideas. Just need someone who can commit to taking the reins!
Message us if interested and we will have a chat.

Sometimes you have a sidekick that you can’t leave behind when you need a break.

To refresh memories and advise new fans:
To adopt you must first fill in an application from felinematchmakers.org
Then we make an appointment to meet your choices. If you’d like to adopt, we take a deposit to hold the kitty.
We run your application for approval by the board. If you rent, we will verify with the landlord that you are permitted under your lease to have a pet. If there are other animals in the home, ALL will be vet referenced. That includes roommates! All must be fixed and up to date on vaccinations. We don’t care if you’re a dog breeder. Not fixed? Not approved!
Once approved, we set a delivery date with a home check and take the remaining adoption fee.

If an adopter disagrees with any of our policies, we encourage them to adopt from the local shelter. It will make all our lives easier in the long run to know one more cat will not be euthanized.

Regards,
Management

Manx kitty for adoption

08/03/2024

We got her at days old. Pixie is a Manx mix available for adoption in Wilmington NC. Felinematchmakers.org

Clear the Shelters is coming soon! You’re going to see it on local news programs. What’s it about? It’s about raising awareness to pets that need homes. It’s about “please spay your animal.” It’s about “Don’t shop, adopt.” What does all that mean?

I’m preaching to a choir here. But that doesn’t mean you can’t educate others! Spay/neuter is the only answer. If you know someone that is breeeding animals, tell them there are pets being euthanized in shelters everyday, STOP breeding! We don’t need anymore intentional puppies or kittens. If you or someone you know is feeding stray cats- they must fix them! Cats reproduce in record numbers. You feed it, you own it!

Don’t get free kittens off Facebook or Craig’s list! These are mostly back yard breeders. They aren’t free! They mostly aren’t spayed, probably sick and have worms. You will spend hundreds if not thousands to keep that animal alive. Adopt from a shelter or rescue group and know what’s been done.

We don’t care if you adopt from us, another rescue group or a local shelter. Tell your friends and family by sharing this post. It matters. How we treat animals matters. We can make the world a better place, one animal at a time. Help educate and reduce euthanasia rates.

Thank you.

Update: littke Crocket didn’t it make it through the night. We really thought we had a handle on it and thought he was improving. He was walking around and started to eat on his own. We woke up and he had passed between feedings.

This pitiful looking boy is getting his bottle, along with sub q fluids, anti diarrhea meds and antibiotics. He’s half the size he should be for his age. He has an a**l fistula, which means there’s a hole in his re**um and a hole at the base of his tail where f***s comes out both holes. For the next week we are going to spend most of our days and nights pulling this guy through with regular flushings of the area and frequent, small feedings. He also has low blood sugar, so we give him Karo syrup at every feeding and check his sugar level by making him bleed from the ear or paw bean twice a day.

If he gets through the week and keeps improving, we will keep going for him, but the expenses will add up. He’s not the only special needs kitty in the house and we are space and time starved.

If you or someone you know can financially help out, just $10 per week really adds up! Put us on your calendar and help make a difference. Thank you!
