Our Cat of the Week is Mr. Walker! He’s a playful 2-year-old boy who loves meeting new people. He is EXCELLENT with dogs–and people! He’s a real talker who chirps and carries on a conversation. Walker is one of our FIV+ boys, which just means that his immune system is a little weaker than a cat that is negative. But, he’s a lover and not a fighter, so he can even live with negative cats. (FIV gets passed through deep cuts that come from things like fighting.) He can have a totally normal cat life and getting out of the shelter environment is what is best for him, so come and visit him this week! He’d love to say hello!

With all the craziness around the Evening of Pawsibilities going on here, we almost forgot to tell you about our Cat of the Week, Ezra! “Handsome” and “unusual” are some of the words that people use to describe Ezra when they first see him. This 9-month-old kitten is super energetic and a wee bit feisty. He is going to do best in a home with another energetic kitten or cat, who can handle a rough-and-tumble playmate. The world is one big toy for Ezra. He is very sweet, but is still working on some of his social skills. For instance, he has not quite learned that hands are not meant to chew on, and are much better for receiving head scratches and cheek rubs. He tends to act a bit more like a 4-month-old kitten than one who is nearly full grown. But we think that with a little time, more human interaction, and a good buddy to wrestle with, he will blossom into a lovely young man. 🙂 (Psst–Ezra’s left ear has been “cropped,” or squared off, because he was neutered through a trap-and-release program. It does not affect his hearing at all.)

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for Cat of the Week…and this week we have another bonded pair of brothers to feature! Slater and James Bond are 3-year-old brothers who were found not only in a single crate by a dumpster, but surrounded by other garbage in hopes that no one would find them. Amazingly, they are alive and well today. We know we say that a lot of cats are snuggle bugs, but we couldn’t mean it more with these two! Taking pictures of them was more difficult than usual because they just want to curl into your lap. If you’re looking for cats who are affectionate, look no further. Apply to meet Slater and James Bond today, or come and visit them at the Center this week!

Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day, so in honor of that, our Cat of the Week this week is Ramona, a 9-month-old kitten! Ramona is one of our overlooked kittens, and we just don’t know why. She is sweet, but not overly needy. This petite girl is just 6 pounds, so she will always be a small kitty. However, that does not mean that she can’t keep up with the bigger cats–she is an active, rough-and-tumble girl, who loves to wrestle and play chase. She can hold her own with cats who are twice her size. As she is getting older, she has mellowed a bit, but she would love to have a kitty playmate in her new home. Ramona does well with kids and would be fine with a dog, too. She does like attention and will gladly climb in your lap after a hard day’s play, making her a wonderful addition to any household. We know her furrrrever home is out there–is that home yours? Come visit her and see!
