June is Adopt a Cat Month! We May Have Your Purrfect Pet!

When we adopted our first cat, Mopps, she was the resident “leftover” at my mom’s vet, who had cared for and then adopted out a litter of strays.  At just four months old, no one wanted Mopps; she was considered too old for families seeking a kitten.  We are grateful every day we gave her a home.

In honor of homeless cats everywhere — and even in the midst of kitten
season — we are highlighting our more mature pets in foster, from 1-year-old Aida to 15-year-old Rascal and lots in between!

So, please read through.  See if one of these pets might be purrfect for you and click here for adoption information.

Aida is a 1-year old brown and white tabby who is friendly, easy going, attentive and affectionate.  She would happily be your lap cat, play on her own or tend to her kittens who are also in foster care.  She will meow for your attention and, oh, don’t forget that pet or belly rub!

Didi is a gray tabby with tons of energy and glee!  At 12, she is living her very
best life and can’t wait to play, scale cat trees or nap half on your lap!  With help of medication and prescription diet, this affectionate and cat-nip-loving feline is managing hyperthyroidism and IBD. 

Hemsworth is a beautiful male tabby, at about 2-years old. While it may take a moment to warm up to you, Hemsworth will be your very best friend, once acquainted.  He is always ready to play with crinkly toys and will chase anything on a string — and oh, mealtime is one of his favorite times!

Milo is a 1-year-old male tabby looking for his forever family, and maybe even a female feline companion in his new home — a friend he can play with, chase around and ultimately cuddle with after they exhaust each other from lots of play!

Rascal is the most senior member of our group!  This sweet, friendly Bombay was surrendered at the shelter after his owner passed away.  He is outgoing, sociable and will follow you around the house!  He gets injections twice a day to manage his diabetes and is on prescription food to help trim down his boyish figure.  Because of his condition, SVPP is planning to continue sponsoring his diabetes maintenance which includes related vet visits and insulin supplies.

Zoey is a sweet and special tuxedo who needs time, TLC and a quiet home.  This once outdoor girl was surrendered by a family who moved and was incredibly stressed in the shelter environment.  We need someone who is patient, and who will let this shy girl settle in, get used to her forever home and family, and live a good life!
