My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

This boy can get comfortable anywhere!

Newby is a mystery to those of us who know him. He showed up one day at a CARE feral feeding site already neutered and with a tipped ear, which is the universal symbol of a neutered community cat. He was friendly and outgoing. Did he hitch a ride in someone's van or truck and hop off when he arrived? Or did someone leave him there?

Before we could get Newby into foster care someone shot him three times. Fortunately we found him before he succumbed to sepsis and were able to get him immediate emergency treatment. He lost his rear leg and got stitches in his side and within weeks Newby was making a full recovery. He can be little shy around strangers, but once he warms up he is a cuddler. He navigates remarkably well and does fine on steps. He, like most cats, has been remarkable at adapting to disability.

Newby is negative for FIV and FeLv, up to date on vaccinations including rabies and microchipped.

Go meet their pets

CARE is a volunteer-based organization which relies on foster caregivers to provide loving, stable homes to homeless cats and dogs, helping them become the best possible pets for their future forever families. We do not have a brick and mortar facility; our foster pets reside in our volunteers’ homes and become a part of the family until a forever home is found. You can meet many CARE foster pets at CARE adoption events or, after an application is submitted, by agreement with the CARE foster caregiver at a mutually agreed upon place.
