Adopt A Cat From The Animal Center
Adopt A Cat From The Animal Center
The following cats and kittens are available for adoption through The Animal Center:
MOOSE is a handsome, 4-year-old Main Coon cat with a deep manly purr. As is typical for Maine Coons, he is affectionate, good-natured, and adores everyone he meets. When Animal Center officials met Moose for the first time, he wouldnât stop purring. Seeing how sweet Moose is now, Animal Center volunteers can imagine how scared and crummy he felt the night he was picked up by police back in November. The police had received a call reporting a possibly-injured cat in Sandy Hook and they brought him to Mt Pleasant Hospital for Animals. When Moose arrived at the hospital, the staff determined that he had had a seizure. To make matters worse, he was flea-infested, underweight and his long hair was so terribly balled up and matted that it was causing significant skin chafing and scabbing. No wonder he was hissing. Moose has been seizure-free since November and his blood work indicates that he is in excellent health. His skin is healing, heâs putting on weight, and heâs been given the green light by his doctor to get adopted. Moose is neutered and current on vaccines.
AGGIE is a very playful kitty who has adapted beautifully from a once shy, free-roaming cat to one who loves human attention. Aggie started her life as a community cat, and Animal Center officials first met her when her caretaker was evicted from her home in Sandy Hook. Aggie was cared for outside with her feline friends until the winter, when she was brought into The Animal Centerâs program to live with a foster family. Nicknamed Peanut for her diminutive size, Aggie is not small on personality. She loves to bat toys around and playfully chase her foster friend, Cecily, around. Cecily is also from this community cat colony. Aggie shows no signs of missing outdoor life and each day grows more comfortable with people and the noises of busy human life. Aggie has many special qualities, and she wags her tail like a puppy to show sheâs happy. Aggie is approximately two years old, spayed, healthy and current on vaccines.
CECILY is a sweet kitty who, after living outside as part of a group of community cats, is loving the touch of humans. Cecily was part of group of neighborhood cats cared for by a Sandy Hook woman until she got evicted. Cecily was taken into the Animal Centerâs foster program, along with her feline pal, Aggie, and theyâre loving life. Once so shy she would run away from people, Cecily makes great progress each day adjusting to human noises, being inside, and enjoying lots of petting. Cecily loves to run and chase Aggie, and although she keeps a watchful eye on the wildlife through the window, she is very happy being inside during these cold days and nights. Cecily is about three years old, spayed, healthy, and current on vaccines.
POP TART, PEACHES & PENNY: When Animal Center volunteers found Penny, Peaches, and Pop Tart in Sandy Hook, they were so sick that their illness nearly claimed their vision. But thanks the support of friends and members, these kittens were immediately brought into The Animal Centerâs foster program, where eye surgery and several months of intensive medical care have made all the difference. Pop Tart, Peaches and Penny have recovered from surgery and would love to get adopted. Their vet calls them his little âSuper Starsâ because of their super-sweet personalities and amazing recovery. New Kitty is a friendly, affectionate and very sweet cat who was found in the fall on Honey Lane in Sandy Hook. The kind family who found him has put up FOUND CAT posters, but no one has claimed him. Animal Center officials believe that he was left behind when his owners moved. New Kitty loves to have his belly rubbed and would be a great addition to any household looking for an affectionate four legged companion.
