Story
Dusty was originally a TNR with his buddy Rusty but the trapper decided to give them a chance in her home. They would do best with somebody who has experience in socializing shy kitties. They do have the potential to be a great pair of housecats. MHS would also consider the pair in a safe warehouse/barn situation with proper acclimation. They would make super mousers!Rusty is FIV+ which does NOT require daily medications nor impact his quality of life. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is ONLY passed through deep bite wounds between cats and cannot be passed to other animal species or humans. FIV kitties can live with, share food bowls, litter boxes, groom and wrestle with non FIV housemates with no risk of transmission. Rusty is neutered, UTD on vaccinations and microchipped.Dusty is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, FIV POSITIVE AND FELV NEGATIVE and micro chipped.If you are interested please fill out a feline adoption application at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=28

It's time for you to adopt our trusty boy, Rusty! Rusty came to our shelter after a samaritan decided to give him a chance. After being a very shy boy for awhile, he has finally realized how great pets can be. Rusty absolutely loves other cats and would do best in a home with them! Rusty would need a patient owner as he still is a bit shy but once he knows you, he LOVES to be pet and is a total mush about it! Rusty loves cuddling with other cats and absolutely loves treat time. This sweet boy is still young and deserves to spend the rest of his life in a home! Rusty is FIV+ which does NOT require daily medications nor impact his quality of life. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is ONLY passed through deep bite wounds between cats and cannot be passed to other animal species or humans. FIV kitties can live with, share food bowls, litter boxes, groom and wrestle with non FIV housemates with no risk of transmission.Rusty is an adult male who is neutered, microchipped, UTD on vaccination and test FIV positive and FELV negative. Due to being FIV+ he qualifies for our special needs adoption rate.

Story
Valor is one of our longest kitty residents and has spent most of his life with us. He came with three kitty siblings, all of whom have long since gone to their homes. Valor can be described as cautious and independent. People have not quite earned his trust. However, Valor hasn't met a wand toy he can resist and our volunteers can sneak some pets in with the help of baby food or squeeze up treats. Valor has come a long way but still needs a family that appreciates his independent spirit. Valor would love a kitty companion or two in his new home. Valor is estimated 5 years old, UTD on vaccinations, neutered, FIV/FELV NEGATIVE and micro chipped.

I mustache you a question.. will you adopt Stache? Meet our girl, Stache! This young adult beauty is ready to join your family. Stache was found outside as a kitten and was rescued. Due to this, she is on the shy side and will need a patient hand to help her blossom into a fan-stache-tic cat. She is treat motivated and likes other cats! Stache has her whole life ahead of her and needs someone to take a chance and work with her. We think she will do best in a quiet home with a confident kitty who she could learn from.

Story
Meet momma Mona. She gave birth in a warehouse and a nice man found her and started feeding her. She is very healthy and very happy and very friendly. Mona has a little sag in her right eye but we don't see any reason for it so we assume it's from an old injury. We think she is probably only about a year old herself and she gave birth at the end of April or beginning of May. Mona is fully vetted and ready to travel.. Mona is super friendly and loving and gets along with other cats as well. if you are interested in adopting please visit Funnyfarmpets.org to read all about our Tennessee based rescue and how the adoption and transport process works. These babies are currently fostered in Tennessee and won't travel until their vetting is completed. The adoption fee is $165.

Hi my name is Nellie. My dear mother could no longer care for me. I am 16 years old and besides my daily thyroid pill, I'm very healthy. My favorite thing is purring on a warm lap. I love to be petted and I will sometimes rest my head in your hand to show my affection for you. My foster mom says I'm a total love bug. I would do best in a quiet home with one or two people. I adore my humans, but don't care for other felines.

Story
Mint was trapped outside with his siblings and made some socialization progress in foster care. Mint is taking his own pace in making friends with us but with the help of his kitty friends he has started to become more comfortable and curious! With continued socialization, we know Mint could blossom into a spoiled pet. We best believe Mint would do best in a home with no children and would have to have a feline companion(s) to show him the ropes. Mint is a young adult, neutered, UTD on vaccinations, FIV/FELV NEGATIVE and microchipped. If you are interested in Mint, please fill out a feline adoption application at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=28
