My story

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

WETZEL is a long-haired golden tabby adult male with a very fluffy, expressive tail. He loves to be around people, and will lean against you while you are reading, crafting, chatting with friends, or even watching TV. He also enjoys long naps on a variety of beds. He loves his tall cat tower where he can watch the outside world go by. He is known to get the zoomies and run all over the place, then in a mere minute, he finds the perfect spot for a nap and is out cold. He is the perfect mix of playful and couch potato. He can spend hours chasing feathers, mice, banana toys, and strings around the room as long as someone is playing with him. He will remind his humans when it is time for a feeding, and if you ignore him, he will gently pat the side of your head. Wetzel can be shy with strangers, but he warms up quickly to anyone who appreciates him for the amazing cat that he is. He loves treats, getting gentle pets, and would enjoy a calm home – likely best as an only cat. Wetzel is smart and independent, and is perfect for a family that wants to adore a cat who will adore them right back.

WETZEL is a special needs kitty who came to us with an auto-immune condition called Pillow Foot (swelling of his foot pads).  This is treated with an immune suppressing medication (cyclosporine).  He is currently in remission, but will need to be monitored for his lifetime; it may recur during periods of stress, and he requires a short course of the medication.  His adopter should also be experienced with long-haired cats, as he will require weekly hairball medication and brushing with a Furminator (which we will supply). He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, is negative for FeLV and FIV, and includes a free wellness visit with our vet partners. To meet WETZEL in foster care, please submit an adoption application for consideration at CatRescues.org/Adopt or a paper copy available at Petsmart. A volunteer will contact you within 3-5 business days for a possible meet and greet. The $70 adoption fee allows us to continue to provide care and find loving homes for abandoned and neglected cats in our Eugene/Springfield community. For more information, send an email to AdoptInfo@CatRescues.org or call 541-225-4955 option 1. ID #2302-C0043

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters are required to complete our application and contract. Our contract stipulates the requirements for care of our pets. These documents are available through e-mail or at our adoption events. The documents are reviewed by our staff and together with a face to face interview we explore the potential new home. If all parties agree to the specifics of the contract the dog or cat can go home. Adoption fee varies with age of pet.
All pets are current on vaccinations, health checked by our veterinarian, De-wormed, treated with flea medication, spayed or neutered, and cats are felv/fiv tested.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to provide care and find loving homes for cats and kittens of our community, with a focus on those with special needs. Currently we only work with Cats. We offer temporary housing in foster homes until they can be placed through our adoption process. We have adoption centers within both Petsmarts in Eugene, at Chad Drive, near Costco, and 29th and Willamette; PetCo by Valley River Center and Wags Dog Emporium on Coburg Rd. Cat Rescue & Adoption Network works with humane societies, other animal rescue groups, the public and government animal services agencies to offer them relief from their overpopulation problem. All cats in our custody receive the medical care they need. Cat Rescue & Adoption Network is a non-profit organization. All money raised is used to help Cat Rescue & Adoption Network save as many animal lives as possible.
