My story

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

Please contact Cheryne (kittyluvr1tril1@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.

Hi everyone! I’m a gentle giant named El Capitan, (named after a famous mountain that is part of Yosemite National Park). Like the mountain, I am beautiful and sturdy, gentle and lovingly natural, but also somewhat dangerous, if you’re not careful.

I was found as a feral, but I was definitely a pampered pet at one time - one who still enjoys belly rubs! For whatever reason, I was dumped into my future Foster’s neighborhood - in a new place without any support! Since I was un-neutered, I had to fight to exist. (This was true whether I succeeded in mating or not.) I survived for at least a year there, with most people chasing me away. I learned to fight - and I caught FIV.

Now in loving foster care, I am back to the sweet boy I was meant to be, but with the caveat that I might bite. (Usually gently, unless I get spooked.) I am a super-special guy though, and I know my purrfect human(s) are out there!

If you are patient and gentle, I would love to meet you!

Go meet their pets

Some of our cats ready for adoption can be seen at the following Adoption Center locations:

PetSmart, located at 12835 Citrus Park Dr across from the Citrus Park Mall. Our volunteers are onsite for adoptions Saturday and Sunday from 12:00pm to 5:00pm and will be happy to assist you with finding the perfect feline companion. PetSmart management can assist with an adoption during other days/hours, time permitting. Cats are onsite 7 days a week.

PetSmart, located at 11331 Causeway Blvd in Brandon. Cats and adoption counselors are onsite for adoptions Saturday from 11:00am to 3:00pm and Sunday from 12:00pm to 2:30pm only.

Petco, located at 13127 N Dale Mabry Hwy. Cats and adoption counselors are onsite Saturdays from 11:00am to 4:00pm only.

We have many more cats than the ones housed at our Adoption Center locations. Our cats live with foster families until they are ready for adoption and space is available at an Adoption Center. If a cat is located in a foster home and the foster has provided contact information, you can get more details on a particular cat directly from them.

More about this rescue

St. Francis Society Animal Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit 501-c-3 animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of sick, injured, and stray domestic animals as well as spay/neuter and medical services for those animals. We seek to place animals in a loving foster or permanent home after recovery and we DO NOT euthanize unless terminal illness necessitates such a decision. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, tested for leukemia/FIV (cats), wormed and vaccinated before they are adopted.
