Story
Aesir + Golden Paw | Bonded | FELV+ Born May 2016 Aesir and golden paw are a bonded pair of cats who must be adopted together; they have a lot of love to give. Golden Paw is the more outgoing one who loves to rub up against your legs repeatedly for attention and pets. Golden Paw presents as a cat that has cerebellar hypoplasia. His balance is slightly affected so it gives him a unique way of navigating life. He doesn't let it stop him from playing or jumping and he still goes nuts over catnip toys. Golden Paw loves to play with Aesir and is great at helping her build her confidence. Aesir is a little more reserved but loves to be held; she bakes the tiniest biscuits when comfortable. After extensive dental work, Aesir's tongue hangs out, a super cute side effect! Aesir and Golden Paw both tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV+), meaning they need to be the only cats in the home or with other FeLV+ cats. Already have FeLV- cats - tell your share them with your friends & help find them a loving home!

Story
Meet Emma Pearl! Emma is about 1 year old and was found starving and abused in a busy restaurant parking lot. There was a group of young teens that were kicking her around trying to get her to leave the premises. The restaurant owner said that she had been there for a couple of weeks begging and searching for food. A good Samaritan took her in because she couldn't let her continue to be abused. The kitty was nervous at first but quickly warmed up.Emma has a strong personality. She is very playful and affectionate. She is constantly poking at the other cats (she has 3 older cats in her foster home) even if she knows she's going to receive a grumpy reaction back. She is curious, a little feisty, and playful. She wants to be with nonstop company. It's almost like she has magical powers. Even if she's nowhere in sight, she can be at any place by your side within seconds. She wants to be with you so much so, that when she sees us leaving the house, she runs to the car and tries to get in with us! She is full of love and craves affection and attention. Because of her life on the streets, she can be found searching for food often. Do not, we repeat, do not leave food unattended. She will help herself. From her abuse, she is also dealing with trust issues on occasion. She can be snappy if she is petted in the wrong spot, so please be patient with her. To everyone’s surprise, Ms Pearl was pregnan! She was so thin at the time, no one could tell. She had her kittens within 4 weeks of her rescue. She delivered the kittens like a champ and was a great momma to her babies. The funny picture of her sitting on the couch was taken two days before she delivered. All of her babies have been adopted and now it’s time for Emma Pearl to get her own forever home!Emma Pearl has lots of love to give and is a terrific cat. Apply today to meet Emma Pearl in her foster home!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.October 29, 2024, 9:29 pm
