Sami – Seeking immediate foster!
Sami is a 6-year-old Bengal cat who was surrendered by his owner for inappropriate urination. We have no way to know what was causing this problem, but we feel it might be the result of being intimidated by the other resident cat. He has been in a boarding facility for several weeks and has used the litter box appropriately in that environment. There is no reason to believe the problem is caused by a medical condition, although he does have a heart murmur that requires further investigation. One of his eyes is blind or partially blind and he has recently been an indoor/outdoor cat.
This is what we are seeking in a foster home for Sami:
- Ideally, some experience with the Bengal breed
- No other cats (preferably no other animals for now)
- No small children
- A commitment to keep him indoors
While the foster home could certainly become his forever home if they chose to, this is really a plea for someone to take him into their home and evaluate his behavioral and medical condition. We need to determine the severity of his heart murmur and develop a treatment plan as that could be contributing factor. The shelter would cover medical costs during the foster period. If interested, please complete this online foster application and mention Sami the Bengal in your comments.
Pop & Snap
Pop and Snap came to the shelter as 4-week-old feral kittens. They went into a foster home for socialization with humans. They now love being sweet, playful, gentle, funny snuggle bugs! They will need a quiet home with cat-savvy parents who understand that they are shy and will need time to adjust to a new home. Former feral kittens, once they trust you, become extremely loyal to their people and the snuggliest and most loving kitties!
O’Meara
O’Meara was purchased at 6 weeks old from a pet store by a person who wasn’t capable of caring for a kitten, so she surrendered her to the shelter. She has always been a sweetheart but needed to learn how to be a cat, so she went to a foster home to hang out with several other kittens, some adult cats and a small dog. She needs to go to a home with fairly experienced cat owners. We don’t believe she’d do well with small children but should be either with an older cat that will help her continue to be cat savvy, or perhaps a dog.
Nomad
This is Nomad, also known as the Party Crasher cat. He was discovered living under someone’s couch a couple of days after they’d had a party. Doors had been left open so Nomad apparently wandered in and made himself comfortable! He has been the perfect guest since arriving at the shelter, and we would love to find this wandering boy a place to call his own. We’ll never know his history but it’s clear from his condition when he came in that he’d had some rough times. He doesn’t ask for much – plenty of food, a comfortable place to sleep, and someone to brush and pet him – a lot! He’s FIV+ so he’ll need a home where he is the only cat, or one with other FIV cats. If you’re looking for a special cat to snuggle and spoil, there’s no better candidate than Nomad.
Scout
Sweet Scout seems to have a lot on her mind, and will happily talk to you about it. Her chirps and trills and affectionate disposition have made her a volunteer favorite. Stop in and have a conversation with her and you’ll see why! Scout is about 10 years old, and definitely would need to be the only cat in her new home.
Ice
Ice is a handsome, affectionate cat looking for a quiet home. At age 11, he’s not too interested in playing – he’d much rather sit on your lap or hang out and observe his surroundings. As is common in cats his age he is taking thyroid medication, which he happily devours in a pill pocket. Ice would probably prefer to be an only cat, though he might be okay with a calm and welcoming feline roommate. He definitely needs an adult household – small children are not his thing!
Coffee & Sylvia
Sylvia and Coffee were trapped in the Fall of 2015 as kittens living with their mom and their brother on the street. They were spayed and vetted and after a slow start with socialization in their first foster home, they were ready for their forever home within 6 months. However, the first adopters allowed their brother to escape their building so Sylvia and Coffee returned to their rescuer for more foster. The 2nd adopters were caring and spent the time to slowly gain the girls’ trust, but unfortunately divorced. The cats lost their home as the husband who wanted to keep them, had to move out of military family housing back into the barracks. The sisters are in search of a quiet home as they are escape artists when stressed. Once you gain their trust, they are very playful, loving cats! They would be best as the only cats (Sylvia is less tolerant of other cats than Coffee). This sweet pair is currently in a foster home, so if you would like more information about them, or would like to make arrangements to meet them, please email us at EASadoptions@gmail.com.
Theo
Theo is a young, affectionate, and very gentle boy looking for a new home. He hasn’t been with us long but he has quickly become a volunteer favorite. He lived with another cat in the past, so we think he’d be okay with a feline sibling after proper introductions, and would likely be happy with older, respectful children.
Cosimo
Cosimo is a very special guy, looking for a special home. He’s about 9 years old, and came to us front-declawed. Cosimo’s life has been filled with changes – lots of new homes, new animals, and a baby – and it was all pretty overwhelming for him. It took him a few weeks to settle in with us, but with a consistent routine and patient handling he has found his stride! This handsome boy needs a home with an experienced cat person who will help him get comfortable, with no children and no other animals.
Dora
We are pleased to introduce Dora! It has been a long road for this amusing girl, but she is finally ready for her forever home. She was rescued by some kind people who found her living in their backyard and brought her to the shelter. At first it was impossible to tell for sure how feral she was and whether we would be able to socialize her. It took a little time and some patience — on her part AND ours — but she has blossomed into a playful, intelligent and affectionate cat. She’s currently in a foster home where she enjoys bird videos, playing with wand toys, and hanging out with her foster mom. Dora will need a calm home with an experienced and patient person to help her get comfortable in her new surroundings. If you’d like to find out more about Dora or make arrangements to meet her, email us at easadoptions@gmail.com
Tree Cats
Meet the ‘Tree Cats’! We recently took in about a dozen young cats (around ten months old) from a single house, and decided to name them after trees. Cedar, Maple, Aspen, Sycamore, and all the rest are adorable, gentle, and pretty impossible to resist. The Trees are quite bonded and rely on one another for companionship, comfort and grooming, so we are adopting them out in pairs. Of course, if you’d like a trio, we can make that happen as well! Stop by and meet them — they’re vet checked and anxious to settle into their forever homes!
M.J.
M.J. is a quiet senior cat looking for a quiet, calm place to live out her golden years. She enjoys being brushed and getting some pets, but is equally happy to be on her own just observing what’s going on around her. She requests no young children, please, and would ideally be an only pet.
Tinker Taylor- In foster!!
Tinker Taylor is a beautiful, playful 1-year-old cat who needs to find a very special home. She has an incurable neurological condition that impacts her movement and bladder. To learn more about Tinker, click here.
Isabella – In Foster
Isabella is a 10-year-old cat with beautiful golden eyes and shiny black fur. She’s looking for a quiet home, preferably with an experienced cat person, where she can relax and enjoy life. Isabella is currently taking a little vacation from the shelter. If you’d like to meet her, please contact us at EASadoptions@gmail.com to make arrangements.
