Klondike Bar says he is getting better. He doesn't run off from people and will let you pet him. He wants to show the person who gives him the home how loving he can become.
Klondike Bar is all vetted and ready to go to a home, but it will need to be a special home. He and the litter of kittens he came in with were very sick and he spent a lot of time in his kennel and they were so contagious, he wasn't handled very often, except to be medicated. This did not help him learn to love and trust humans. He did come to learn that we were the ones to did make him feel better and fed him and took care of him. He is now out of the kennel, but when he is approached, he will run. He does like to be petted, but it is something you have to corner him and then begin petting him. He really needs a very patient person who would be willing to give him a home and let him just hang out until he is comfortable. It will probably happen, but there is no telling how long the time line would be. He does enjoy other cats and he would be a good working cat. Want to be a hero to Klondike Bar? Come meet him and see if you could provide a good place for him.
Kondike Bar has been fully vetted - altered, vaccinated, combo tested and microchipped. Because he will have to be “worked with”, we are offering him at a reduced adoption fee of $75 to cover a portion of the vetting. He needs to be kept inside and fully acclimated. Once familiar with their 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.
He will do best if he is adopted along with another soft feral. Several of his littermates fall into this category. Snow Cone is one of them that is an option. They learn to trust and become comfortable much more quickly when they have a buddy to hang with and curl up with for comfort.
If you are that wonderful person, please let us know and we will set up a meet and greet!!
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.

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.
