My story

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

Approximate Date of Birth:1/29/2023

Description:  

Gallahad was born outdoors in a rural neighbourhood and caught by accident when trapping for another cat. He was scared and very defensive so it seemed that he would be better suited for TNR. After his alter, he escaped his recovery crate and made his home in the garage with his TNR companion. Together they would lounge around just out of reach, enjoying the easy life of ready meals and their own fan to keep the heat of summer at bay. Surprisingly, even using a litterbox immediately.

Gallahad's choices in life changed drastically when he was introduced to a lickable treat! An independent spirit destined to resume his life outdoors once the weather cooled, his desire to be with people became proportional to his expectation of getting the treat. Rather than hiding in a corner, he was running to the door every time it opened, and highly put out if there was no treat in hand. As a result, he was brought indoors to test his tolerance.

It turns out that he was a lamb in lion's clothing! Once his defenses come down, he is the sweetest, gentlest, and most docile boy with an affectionate side that is fast to let out a good purr. When comfortable with his surroundings, he is sure to be found snuggling on a fleece blanket on the bed with or without you there. Gallahad will make a great companion for that special person who will cherish this gentle-spirited big boy.

Some of our "ready to adopt" felines are located at one of our Arizona PetSmart locations. https://www.savingonelife.org/adopt/locations/

We also have a small satellite operation in San Diego with adoption events on select Saturdays at the PetSmart Escondido store.

We highly recommend applying in advance in order to increase your opportunity at adopting the kitty you are interested in. Applications are processed in the order they were received. If you have questions, please email adoptions@savingonelife.org.

More about this rescue

Saving One Life is a completely foster based, volunteer run, never kill rescue. Our motto is that although we can't save the world, it makes a world of difference to the ones we do save.

If you find a litter of kittens or your cat accidentally got pregnant - please contact us if you are able to foster them at intake@savingonelife.org. We cannot take in more animals without foster homes. All supplies and vet care will be taken care of - all you have to do is open your home and heart to them until they can find homes of their own!

All of our adoptable animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for felv/fiv (Cats), dewormed, and microchipped. Adoption fees range depending on the animal's age and breed. All adoption fees assist other animals in our care - we do not have any paid employees. We are a completely never kill group that provides sanctuary to any "unadoptable" animals that come into our care including hospice care.
