Available for Adoption

 

Isabel (calico female) and Pip (white with black splotched male)

These shy (at first) sweeties are quite the pair!  They're littermates, originally fostered by The Menagerie as bottle feeding kittens 6 years ago (they're 6 years old).  They've now sadly been returned to The Menagerie to re-adopt out because their family has fallen victim to the economy.  They love cuddling and mutual grooming.  They have lived with other cats as well as with dogs and are very happy to have more company.  Pip enjoys wrestling with other kitties, Isabel just wants to cuddle up with them. They are very shy at first and with new people, so someone experienced with shy kitties who could provide a fairly quiet and peaceful home would be ideal.  Once they get to know you, they warm up quite a bit and become talkative affection cravers.  Pip especially likes to give people little head butts to say hi and let you know he wants some loving. They both prefer to snuggle next to people rather than on people, though if you've got a quilt over you they'll sit on your lap or lay on your chest in the morning while they're telling you it's breakfast time. They spend most of their time napping except for a couple hours a day which they spend begging for (and hopefully getting) cuddle time.  They are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and would love to meet you!  Please note that these two are so well bonded that they are not available separately and must find a home together. 

 


Success Stories

Fae...................................ADOPTED

 

She's a petite, 4 year old, domestic shorthair cat with beautiful brown tabby markings.  Fae is sweet and affectionate and loves to cuddle up in bed with her people at night.  She also has a playful side and enjoys chasing feather wants and sometimes laser pointers.  She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.  Fae is shy with new people and will need a bit of patience for the first couple weeks she's getting to know you.  Fae will need to be in a home with no other cats as they stress her out.  She enjoys cuddling with respectful dogs, though.  Congratulations to Fae, her new family Nancy, Victor, Alexandrea, and Catherine, and her new dog Christine!

 

    

 

 


 

 Huckleberry...................................ADOPTED

 

I received a call about this handsome boy from a woman who saw her neighbors dump him in a park.  It turned out that he'd been purchased with two other bunnies as an Easter gift for some children and they were, of course, quickly forgotten in their cage in the back yard.  Well, along came sexual maturity and they started to fight.  After Huck had a chunk taken off the tip of one of his ears, they decided they couldn't provide him with a good home and instead of finding him one, they took him to the large wilderness park across the street and let him go.  I'm sure they thought he'd have a great life enjoying the outdoors.  I'm sure they didn't realize that he'd be prey to the cars driving by on that big street, the dogs people walk there throughout the day, neighborhood cats (he's barely 3 pounds), and local wildlife including possums, coyotes, and raccoons.  After several years of failed attempts at finding the right home, Huckleberry wormed his way into Alyssa's heart and became a permanent member of The Menagerie.  Welcome Huckleberry!

 


 

Annabelle (tortoiseshell) and Georgia (black)...................................ADOPTED

They were rescued as older kittens from a feral colony in a field right off a very big, busy street where their littermates were sadly hit by cars.  When we first took them in, they were terrified of humans and too emaciated to be able to have spay surgeries and needed foster care while they were socialized and put on weight.  At first they hid and hissed, but after a week or so of respectful human interaction, they started to become very curious about those strange beings bringing their food and water.  It was only another week after that before they were accepting a few gentle strokes on the head and began tentatively purring.  Once they saw how great people could be, they progressed by leaps and bounds and began waiting at the door so they wouldn't miss a second of their precious human time.  Now they are incredibly affectionate and are only shy when meeting someone new for the first time. 

They spent a couple months looking for a home with several near misses and finally found the most wonderful dad in the world -- Congratulations to Annabelle, Georgia, and Garry!

 Rizal (grey), Diva (mocha) and Angel (brown)...................................ADOPTED

These three sweeties were living on the street at a busy intersection right across from the railroad tracks.  We were alerted to their plight when we received a phone call from a woman whose miniature pinscher brought her a baby bunny in his mouth.  We picked Diva up and upon surveying the area found several bunnies living under a neighboring house.  Rizal had a sharp piece of bone sticking out of his leg and our vet said it was an old break that had healed that way, leaving him with a jagged lump of bone constantly cutting through his leg's muscle and skin.  Angel was uninjured, but all three were underfed and very under-loved.  After medical treatment and a bit of foster TLC, the found a wonderful new mom who will make sure that they spend the rest of their lives happy, healthy, and never doubting that there is a human who will overloved them every chance she gets.  Congratulations Angel, Rizal, Diva, and Rhea!
