Beast
Beast is a big, impressive-looking feral cat, at least on the outside. He came to us covered in bite wounds from a rough fight with another cat. Thankfully, he recovered from his wounds just fine and has even been getting a little friendlier, though he is still very shy. Unfortunately, he needs dental surgery to correct a problem with his teeth. He has a difficult time chewing, so he swallows pieces of dry food whole, which irritates his throat. Sometimes when he’s eating he jumps away from his plate and growls at it, because he thinks the plate is hurting him. It is heartbreaking to watch. To make his life easier we feed him lots of wet food, even holding pieces out on our hands to make sure he only eats small bites. He licks your fingers clean when he’s finished and will stay still for gentle petting.
Ginger
Ginger is a very sweet old lady who loves a strange thing. She has the power to locate a pillow anywhere, no matter where you’ve hidden it. She just zeros in on them and cuddles herself right on top. Life would be good for her, she can have as many pillows as she likes, which is usually all of them, except for a tumor in her ear that must be removed.
Update on Ginger: Ginger has been adopted! Her new family even volunteered to take care of her medical needs. This sweet girl is going to lead a wonderful life with her loving family. Good luck, Ginger!
Staples
Staples arrived at MHS with a horrendous injury to his left hind leg. He was attacked by a dog and his leg was shattered. Because so much time passed between the attack and when he was brought to us, his leg cannot be repaired and will have to be amputated. Staples is a very rambunctious and outgoing cat, and we think he’ll adjust to his new life quickly. He is sometimes so excited to see people that he falls right over and just reaches out with his paws to touch you. His future looks exceptionally bright considering his injury, but until he gets his surgery he can’t move on to a forever home.
Hancock
Hancock is a very handsome cat with a bit of a silly habit. When he first came to us he had a broken hip and, following his first surgery, he was a little nervous. So where did this big guy choose to hide? Right under his blankets, of course. It didn’t matter how hard we tried to keep him on top of the covers. When left alone for even a few minutes he burrowed right back under. Thankfully he’s a lot more confident now and chooses to grace us with his presence. He has had a pin holding his hip together and now that he’s fully healed he’s ready to have the pin taken out.
Thora
Thora is just the prettiest girl, with big bright eyes and a cutely folded ear. She has a bit of spunk and doesn't take to everyone, but when she likes you, she really likes you. She spends most of her time curled up in the kitchen, usually in a position that doesn't look comfortable by any stretch of the imagination, but she seems to like it. Thora is on daily medication for a heart murmur and has just been thrown another hurdle. A tumor has taken up residence on her hind right leg and needs to be removed badly.
Kay
Kay, affectionately known as Bathroom Cat, is very beautiful and loves getting to meet everyone who visits her. She sleeps in her basket for most of the day, but perks right up when it comes time for attention. If you sit down next to her she'll climb right into your lap and start purring before you've even touched her. When she's curled up with you, though, you'll notice something is off about her. Kay's head tilts to the side because of a tumor in her ear that must be removed. She keeps her spirits up very well, but is looking forward to the surgery to remove the tumor.
Elliot
Elliot is a silly and very fun guy. He loves playing and he doesn’t settle for just batting at a toy a few times. Sometimes he is so into his games that he just goes skidding across the floor in pursuit of whatever toy he’s spotted. He’ll even jump into the air for dangling toys or any flies unfortunate enough to have ended up in the cat room. Of course, there more to Elliot than how much fun it is to watch him run and leap. He’s also very sweet and likes to be pet and held. Sometimes he gets a little shy, but it’s never long before he remembers that he enjoys attention. Lately Elliot has been feeling a little down, because he needs surgery to repair a hernia. Can you help him start leaping with joy again?
Update on Elliot: Elliot has been adopted! He is going to be a companion for another young cat, a role which he's going to love. His hernia is going to be taken care of soon, so donations towards his surgery are still appreciated.
Daisy
Daisy is a young and frisky cat. She's always leaping around her cage, pausing only to keep an eye on the other cats. She is very vocal and makes sure to say hello to everyone who visits the cat room. Her eagerness for attention is entirely understandable, as she's only a year old and still wants to play with everything she sees. She makes herself quite impossible to ignore. Hopefully that skill comes in handy now that she's faced with surgery to repair a hernia. Can you resist helping this beautiful little girl?
Shilo & Tessa
Shilo and Tessa are two sweet old girls that absolutely love each other. Both just quiver with excitement when it’s time to go out for a walk and enjoy wiggling in the grass while they get their tummies rubbed. They crawl all over each other trying to be the first for treats and petting, which usually ends with them both looking very silly. Unfortunately, both of these great dogs need treatment for cancerous mammary tumors. The good news is that the cancer hasn't spread, but each dog will need surgery estimated at around $1,000.
