My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Carla and Marla (4 year old sisters) and mom, Darla (5 years old) This bonded tabby family have had a rough start to life.

Carla and Marla were found in early December 2020 living in a sewer on a busy Culpeper street with their mom, Darla Mae and were brought into care. Unbelievably, they have not found their forever home yet and have been with us the longest out of any of the cats we have in foster care. Their foster family has a child that is allergic, but out of respect and care for this little family, they have made the difficult decision to care for them until they can find their forever home.

This family is a Violet family, as in the term a " shrinking Violet." "Violets," are a very special group of cats. These kitties have been in foster homes for maybe a year or more, still hoping for their future mommy or daddy to find them. Their stories are similar,  they have all been through Hell on the streets ~ orphaned, abandoned by a former owner, left to fend for themselves, often sick or hungry. People passing them by, but no one helping.  These precious, frightened, and vulnerable souls usually blossom once in a quiet, indoor home, with either no children or older children. They are all spayed or neutered, are up to date on rabies and distemper vaccines, and tested negative for feline leukemia, and are microchipped. The adoption fee is $25 and may be waived if you have adopted from us previously or if there are multiple bonded cats, as in Carla, Marla, and Darla.. 

Carla and Darla probably rate a 4-5 on the Violet social scale. They are playful once they are alone, but are couch potatoes with Darla when people are around. Carla is the more social and will come to sniff their foster mom's hand amd everyone loves people watching, as well as a sunny window with a bird feeder (who doesn't, right?) No one is aggressive. Everyone is good with furniture and good in the litter box, as well, and can be pet when eating.

Carla, Marla, and Darla will need a quiet, low activity home together with kids 12 years old or older or no children at all. They are completely vetted and have been dewormed, spayed, have had 3 FVRCP vaccines, a rabies vaccine, and are tested negative for FIV, and feline leukemia. They are microchipped with a lifetime registration, meaning you will not have to pay every year to reregister. Interested in these rhyming beauties? Please email us at GoodMews22@aol.com.

More about this rescue

Our rescue is dedicated to the cats that have been forgotten - strays that are shy and frightened, abandoned cats that once had a home and are trying to come into a home for shelter, cats that need a little more TLC than most to trust again.

These cats are struggling on our streets to be noticed, struggling for survival. They need our love, our compassion, our help.

They are the forgotten cats.
The cats that most rescues "don't have time for."

ALL cats deserve love.
ALL cats deserve a good home.
ALL cats deserve to be treated with respect and given care.

Given time, love, and nurturing, these cats become wonderful, loving housecats.

Our rescue is for the forgotten cats. In my home, they are known as the Shrinking Violets, and I have fought for their right to be loved, receive care, and the respect they deserve. Please join me with your support.
