Story
DOB: 8/2018 Meet Miller: Part Cat, Part Confused Dog, All Heart ♥️ Miller is that one-of-a-kind roommate who thinks he’s a golden retriever trapped in a cat’s body. He’ll sprint to the front door like he’s been waiting for you all day and isn’t shy about being the welcoming committee. He’s super friendly and loves attention, but like any true diva, he can get a little extra when overstimulated so we recommend a home without young kids (playtime sometimes unintentionally becomes “play tough”). Keep an eye on the door! Miller’s always ready for an adventure or maybe just trying to start his own neighborhood watch. If you’re looking for a cat with dog energy, a big personality, and a whole lot of love to give, Miller’s your guy *Miller is on a prescription diet to manage urinary tract issues, which he’ll need to stay on for life. He’s thriving and doesn’t require any additional medications or treatment. If you’re not quite ready to adopt a special-needs cat, Miller is also eligible for long-term foster so you can still give him the love he deserves. **This cat is currently in a foster home and arrangements can be made for a meeting once you have applied with us. All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process. Due to the large number of inquiries received, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.** April 20, 2025, 10:04 pm

Story
Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliott@att.net) for more information about this pet.Two year old tortie point Siamese femaleScarlet is a rescue. She was feral when she arrived to the rescue. When she was spayed, they clipped one of her ear tips as normally feral cats are released back to the wild. Instead of releasing the sweet girl, I brought her home and tamed her. She is very sweet, very loving and looking for her forever home. She is currently in Harrison, Arkansas. Rescue pets are transported near your locations via the rescue network transport. Please do not inquire through Facebook, but rather send an email with your phone number to inquire.April 9, 2025, 4:15 pm

Cornish Rex fun facts

Fun Facts:

The moniker Cornish Rex was chosen because the founding breed was created in Cornwall and the coat resembled the AstREX rabbit's fur.

The Cornish Rex breed was established by outcrossing to several other breeds to promote genetic diversity, the health of the breed, and a variety of colors and patterns.

The gene mutation that causes the curly coat in Devon Rexes is different than that of the Cornish Rex. Devon Rexes have guard hairs and they shed more.
