Update: Gyro is getting much more comfortable. He doesn't run and hide when he see people any longer, but when approached he does try to find a safe corner. He loves other cats and loves to play with them. He is slowly coming around, but is still in desperate need of a home where he and maybe a buddy can get personal love.
Gyro needs you to be his superhero. He is looking for that kind, patient person to give him a home. He came in as a young kitten with his litter mates. They all had sickness and issues and finally got all better. Everyone else from the litter became very friendly, but Gyro remained scared and a bit fearful of humans. We let him out to try and get some more interaction out of the kennel, but he chose to hide and continue to run from us. We have tried to work with him, but it is difficult for a handful of volunteers to give Gyro the attention he needs. This is why he needs that special person to help him out!! Could it be you?
Gyro has been fully vetted - altered, vaccinated, combo tested and microchipped. Because he will have to be “worked with”, we are offering Gyro at a reduced adoption fee of $75 to cover a portion of the vetting. Gyro needs to be kept inside and fully acclimated. Once familiar with his family and territory, he may be able to become an indoor/outdoor cat. But remember, they haven’t been outside since they were tiny, so take that into consideration.
If you are that wonderful person, please let us know and we will set up a meet and greet!! Please note that we have several other soft ferals at our shelter and they usually do better with another cat. This seems to give them courage and comfort while they become used to their new home. It would be fabulous if a terrific person decided to give 2 cats in need of warmth and love a great home and chance and a wonderful life!!!
Here is a little more information about Semi-Feral Cats: These cats are generally born outside, and not having human contact, are very shy initially. With lots of love and patience, a semi-feral cat can become a loyal, devoted pet. The semi-feral cats at the shelter have been socialized to varying degrees. Some let you pet them and some you cannot touch because they have not yet learned to trust. They are not aggressive, just frightened. Semi-feral cats generally love the company of other cats, and therefore, make great companion animals. Please keep in mind that semi-feral cats do not make good pets for households with young children, as they are easily frightened.

Additional adoption info
Our kitties are ALWAYS spayed/neutered and vaccinated before we put them up for adoption.
The adoptee will need to fill out an application and be approved, then they will be contacted regarding setting up an appointment to meet our available cats and kittens. If we feel it necessary, we may request a home visit. We want to make sure the adoption is a good fit for both owner and pet.

More about this rescue
Floyd County has the 3rd largest intake of cats in the state, including all Atlanta-area shelters. Floyd Felines was created to stop the weekly euthanasia. We pull sick cats and young kittens out of Floyd County Animal Control, now known as Public Animal Welfare Services, and take them to our private shelter where they are able to get necessary attention. We also pull hundreds of healthy, adoptable cats and kittens to be transported to Northern rescue partners to have higher chances of adoption. This work opens kennels at animal control so that it is no longer required to euthanize for space.
We also have a working cat program, where we match up “feral” cats to approved, outdoor homes where they can control the mice and snake population. These cats are usually some of the first to be euthanized at shelters, so we are thrilled that we are able to provide hope for their futures.
