black cat and tabby cat

Shelter arrival date:  04/06/2023

Name:  Carter
Gender: Neutered Male
Size/Weight:  Large.
Age: 4 years old

Medical info: FIV+, cloudy right eye

ID#: 643709

Name:  Rachel
Gender: Spayed Female
Size/Weight:  Large.
Age: 4 years old

Medical info: FIV+, missing left eye

ID#: 643710

Eligible for Rescue: Now 

Specifics:  Rachel and Carter were surrendered to the shelter because (like most cats) they didn't like the dogs that lived in the home - especially the new puppy. Both cats were stressed in the situation. Carter stayed hidden and Rachel started acting out towards the puppy. Not everyone enjoys a rambunctious puppy so we can't blame them. The previous owner said that Carter is prone to bladder stones, but we can't confirm a diagnosis. Rachel is missing an eye, Carter has a cloudy eye, and they both tested FIV positive. These two babies are looking for a home where they will be loved  and made to feel comfortable. They want to be a priority in someone's life, not disposable Both are waiting for their hero(s)  in cage 604

Age: 6 years old

Medical info: Heartworm negative

ID#:  643528

Eligible for Rescue: Now 

Specifics: Say hello to the adorable 6 year old Eustus. His story is heart breaking. Eustus originally arrived at the shelter in October 2020 as a lost boy.

Eustus was put on a feeding schedule and is now back to a good healthy weight. Eustus has not let that past cruel treatment get to him. He is a playful and sweet boy. He likes to impress his people. He will sit, speak, and lay down when asked. As you can imagine, he loves treats! He is gentle when taking them. He loves to go on walks but is a little strong on leash and could use a little training in that area. You will find him waiting in run 88 and his ID# 643528.
