Story
TIGGER the adorable orange kitten and his Best Beloved JEWEL the PantherGirl are just kittens themselves, 6-7 or so months old and they've been together their whole lives! This adorable pair of kitties are BONDED and MUST go together to a quiet home of adults who LOVE kitties and are an experienced feline family. Orange male Tigger is already neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and dewormed. Jewel somehow got out as a kitten during her very first estrus, became pregnant, gave birth to kittens who have now been weaned and are in the process of being placed. During that ENTIRE TIME, Tigger has been loyally by her side, helping with the babies (even though they are really just teenage babies themselves!) and loving Jewel and the kittens. Its a REAL LIFE Romeo and Juliet LOVE story!!!! Jewel is far more socialized, and Tigger would LOVE to find a human with whom he can bond again too, as he did with their first humans. Is that YOUR family? If YOU have enough LOVE to share with this young kitten pair, AND you are HIGHLY EXPERIENCED with kitties (or willing to learn how to help socialize them even more with humans!) RSVP with your PHONE NUMBER and SCHEDULE a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW to chat with our Volunteer Adoption Counselors! Be the right PURRRRever Family!

Story
Domestic Short Hair Female 10 years We are looking for a foster or adopter for a beautiful and rare orange female named Babs. Babs was rescued from the streets after it was observed she was struggling to eat due to severe mouth pain. An amazing vet took her on and gave her another chance at life. Babs has 100% adjusted to being an indoor kitty and loves pets, cuddles, snacks, and play sessions. She is good with other cats and lived in a colony for most of her life, although she would prefer a quiet home where she can relax and be pampered like the princess she is. This sweet girl has been medically cleared to find her human and have a pain free life filled with pets and cuddles. If you are interested in fostering or adopting beautiful Babs please contact us. We are looking for the perfect home for this special girl. About ten years old, she is spayed and vaccinated, all medical records to be provided. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Babs, please contact Lisa Galin at +1 760-485-6500. *PLEASE NOTE: This animal is listed as a courtesy for another organization or private party.

So for now, she is with us in Punta Mita, living her best life with food, shelter and the company of other cats.Tofu has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available

This sweet girl is "Cleo", lovingly named by her rescuer who helps the cats/kittens at the Cuale River. Just a baby herself, Cleo was abandoned, pregnant and extremely malnourished.

Her health and nutrition was improved and now she's ready for her furever home. She's already spayed, good with dogs Her unique personality is a perfect blend of playful curiosity and loving companionship. She selectively gets along with other cats but would also thrive as the only pet in the household, soaking up all the love and attention a princess like her deserves.Open your heart and home to Cleo and you'll gain a loyal companion for life.Cleo has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available Please send us an application at : wetnosesrescue.org/adoption-application-Cats
