Story
Harold is a sweet and calm middle-aged man. The vet has estimated him to be about 6 years old. After a long life on the streets, Harold now enjoys the comfort of indoor living. He’s not super active, so he’d love a home where he can just chill with his humans! He’s a very affectionate little guy. It might take a minute for him to warm up to you, but then he’s full of purrs and begging for pets. He makes the best biscuits! He can hiss when he gets startled — but he doesn’t mean it! It’s just one of his funny little quirks. He’s just a calm guy who enjoys snoozing, sunbathing, and snuggles. Harold is estimated to be about 6 years old. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is FIV+, so he should be an indoor only cat! Harold has done well with other cats, but would do best in a home with no dogs (or older, calm dogs that have been around cats before). His cauliflower ear is from an untreated hematoma, but he’s totally alright — just another quirk now. Consider opening your heart and home to a sweet boy who has a lot of love to give!

Story
Renesme is a 6-month-old spayed female brown tabby.  She was rescued from living outdoors after she was hit by a car. She lost the tip of her ear in the incident but thankfully was otherwise not injured! Renesme and her brother Obsidian recently lost their home after their owner passed away and are looking for a new forever home. Renesme  is very calm, loves attention and to give kisses.  She also likes to be picked up and gives big stretches!  She’s the sweetest girl and does well with other cats, people, and children. She’s never met a dog. She would absolutely love to be adopted with her brother, Obsidian and is very hopeful there is a loving home out there who will adopt them together, but it is not a requirement for them to be adopted together.   Foster Contact:  Arianna Jennings  Phone: 407-840-8650  Email:  jenningsarianna@gmail.com Please apply on our website: www.thewayhomerescue.org Follow us on IG for more info: @thewayhomerescue October 28, 2024, 1:24 pm

Obsidian (lovingly called Obi) is a 6-month-old neutered male black cat. He and his sister recently lost their home when their owner passed away and are looking for a new forever home! He is full of energy and is very talkative! He’s a big snuggler and loves other cats, especially his sister Renesme. He is often found cuddling up by a window or practicing his parkour skills. He’s very social, good with people, kids, and other cats. He has never been around dogs. Obi would love to be adopted with his sister Renesme and hopes there is someone out there who will give them a home together, but it is not a requirement for them to be adopted together.  Foster Contact: Arianna Jennings  Phone: 407-840-8650 Email:  jenningsarianna@gmail.com    Please apply on our website: www.thewayhomerescue.org Follow us on IG for more info: @thewayhomerescue October 28, 2024, 1:24 pm

Story
Meet Link – a young adult cat who looks like a well loved teddy bear and has an amazing personality that’s sure to win your heart. Please read Link’s full bio to ensure his unique needs are a match for you. Link’s Personality:  Link is a happy, high-energy cat who loves zooming through his cat tunnel, climbing his cat tree, and pouncing on toys. He’s friendly, social, full of adorable quirks, and always purring. What Link’s Care Entails:  Link is blind and has a liver condition called a Portosystemic Shunt, which requires him to take medications three times daily with small meals of a prescription diet. His care is manageable for those with special needs pet experience or a willingness to learn. We know this isn’t for everyone, so we want to ensure he finds the right home.   What We’re Looking For in an Adopter:  We’re looking for someone who can keep Link on his treatment plan and monitor his health with their vet. Link would do best with older, considerate children, and he’d thrive with another playful cat, a cat-friendly small dog, or as a solo pet. He’s not suited for families with young children or large dogs.   Foster-to-Adopt Basis:  Link is available on a foster-to-adopt basis to ensure the best fit. You’ll receive guidance from his foster and vet to help you confidently manage his care.   If you’re ready to provide the loving, committed home Link needs, he’s waiting for you!

Here’s Sunburst! This 2 year old tabby girl was in the shelter with a broken leg.  She was safe at the shelter but needed a rescue to get her vet care. So All Paws stepped up and got this sweet kitty into our full service vet the next day for a limb amputation and got spayed too.  Here’s the best part, Starburst never stopped purring and being super friendly.   And being a tripod kitty hasn’t stopped her mobility at all. Starburst is being fostered in Maitland so hit us up for a meet and greet November 18, 2024, 7:00 pm

Story
Meet Momi (Pearl) and Nani (Beautiful), two inseparable sisters born in 2018. These sweet girls, originally named Laverne and Shirley, have been together since day one and must be adopted as a pair. Age: 6 years old Personalities: Momi (tabby) is gentle and loving, while Nani (black) is playful and curious. Both are affectionate, spoiled in the best way, and adaptable. Lifestyle: They love spending time both indoors and outdoors, making them perfect for a home with safe outdoor access or cozy indoor space. I adopted them as kittens and have cherished every moment with them. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I must rehome them to ensure their health and wellbeing. They are currently with my roommate while I search for a loving forever home. The perfect home for Momi and Nani is one where they’ll stay together, be loved unconditionally, and have the space to thrive. If you’re ready to welcome these two sweethearts, please reach out.

These pups are in Orlando, Florida too!

Story
Tigran was purchased from a pet store 5 years ago and his owners fostered him to another family for a couple of years and then they moved back to the area. They were looking for a family to take him and I went to get him. References and veterinarian checks will be required. Due to the vocal nature of Tigran, adopter must have his own home (no apartments, condos, or townhouses). Tigran LOVES water and loves to play with faucets and dripping water. Tigran will do best with a WFH or retired parent as he becomes quite anxious when left alone. Tigran comes with a robot litter box and a tote litter box. He is a BIG cat and will not fit in a standard litterbox. Litter MUST be cleaned daily or he WILL NOT USE THE LITTERBOX. Tigran is very smart and will test you. Prior ownership of a Bengal or a dog is recommended and will be prioritized in adoption. He gets along very well with my fosters and my own cat. He came from a home with older children and did well. No experience with dogs but I would guess with slow introductions he would be fine. Tigran LOVES his back feet massaged. Due to his size, he does not feel safe being held. He will come when called. He loves interactive food toys and has a wheel if there is an interest in purchasing it additionally. Tigran was often left outside with his original owner and got Toxoplasmosis. He has a slight head tilt and will occasionally lose his balance but has been veterinary cleared. Tigran is NOT a quiet, reclusive animal. He loves snacks and treats and will alert you if you are late by more than 2 minutes. He is inconsolable if you are late to feed him dinner. If you are looking for a lap cat, he will visit, but he is not for you. He is active and LOVES to play and chase for hours on end.

Hi my name is Safari and i’m a loving, energetic kitty. I am now 10 months, I love playing with my toys and eating treats. Sometimes i like to run around and i hope you can keep up. Safari is an orange tabby, she was fostered due to capacity and resources. She was kept for a little because she needed more tender loving care to help her socialize with different aged humans. She’s now ready for her furever home.
