My story

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

Lickerish and her sister, Cat Benatar, are looking for a home together. They have grown up at the shelter and have now been in a kennel for over 2 years. They have not had an opportunity to run or be normal cats. Despite this, they are constantly snuggling, grooming each other and playing in the small space they have.

The reason these two are still waiting for a home is twofold: Lickerish has feline leukemia, which means she will have a severely limited lifespan. Somehow, Cat Benatar has tested negative thus far. As she has been exposed, she will have a higher likelihood of developing it at some point. These cats are so connected and bonded that we are choosing to keep them together, despite knowing that Lickerish has feline leukemia.

The second part of the reason they are still at the shelter is because they are shy. With people they know, Lickerish is a lap cat and loves a good butt scratch. Cat Benatar plays a little harder to get but she'll circle and meow with bright eyes and such sincerity. They will need someone who can give them time to allow themselves to be who they are; they may always love each other more than they would love a human.

We would love for them to find a home, especially as Lickerish is on borrowed time. Even a foster would be a step-up for them where they could live comfortably in a spare bedroom and at least have space to run around and properly play. They should be in a home without other cats or with other feline leukemia positive cats.

More about this rescue

Soul Dog is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization founded with the mission to spay/neuter and protect animals. We are currently a small group of committed volunteers making a difference in the life of one animal at a time. As an all volunteer administration, all donations made to Soul Dog go directly to improving the health of the pets that share our lives.

Soul Dog is proactive in animal welfare advancing the need for spaying and neutering our pets to reduce overpopulation. We travel to rural communities on Native American reservations, where spaying and neutering will only happen if it is nearly free or very convenient. Soul Dog works with volunteer veterinarians to provide the spaying and neutering service at no cost to the public. Donations are used to defray the costs associated with medications, supplies, and the operating cost for clinics.
