Story
When Paige arrived at CWA, she was the definition of cage rage. Swatting, hissing, spitting at us, her faithful servants, when we cleaned her cage. Little girl was a handful...until we let her out. Paige now wanders freely, spending most of her time in placement room 2 or the sunroom. She is playful, enjoys being petted, and gets along with the other cats. Come meet petite princess Paige-you can't miss the unique white stripe on her nose. PAIGE IS ONE OF OVER 200 CATS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT CAT WELFARE.

Story
Carrie is a young lady interested in being social she wants to be with people as much as she can. We don’t know what happened to her in her prior life but we suspect she was abandoned as she wants to be with people at all times…as if she is afraid she’ll be dumped again. She is a sweet little girl and deserves to know love and to feel safe for the rest of her little life. Can you give her that? She enjoys the company of other cats and dogs and would be a great addition to any family. Please complete an adoption application at http://petpromise.org/adopt to give her the life and love she deserves!

Buffalo Bill is accepting applications for his forever family. He is one of just over 200 cats currently available for adoption at Cat Welfare.Howdy y'all! I'm Buffalo Bill, the cutest little kitty this side of the Wild West. I'vegot a playful spirit that just can't be tamed, but it's all in good fun - I just loveto play! I'm like a cowboy at high noon - quick on the draw and always ready for a challenge when it comes to drops of water falling from a faucet! My favorite game is catching those elusive droplets as they tumble down. I'll sit and wait, watching each one intently, then throw my paw out to snatch it. It's a game that requires speed, precision, and a true love of adventure - and let me tell ya, I've got all three! I've got big dreams of having a big ol' fountain of my own someday.Truth be told, what I really want is a good ol' home with good folks who will care for and love me. Waddya say partner? Let's ride off into the sunset together! Primary Color: Brown Tiger Secondary Color: White Age: 4yrs 6mths 0wks

I have some extra needs to keep this fabulous body of mine in tip-top shape. But fret not, there are wonderful folks at Cat Welfare that can show you the ropes. I'm very well behaved when it's time for my insulin. Mylar crinkle balls are my weakness. I'll chase them with the elegance of a prima ballerina, swatting them with impeccable precision. Prepare to be mesmerized by my grace and charm!But here's the scoop, what I truly crave for is a forever home with humans who will promise to keep me healthy and love me for ALL the years to come.

Story
Sweet little Darwin was found lying in a yard beaten up, bleeding and covered in fleas. We don’t know what he had been through before two girls found him lying there pleading for help from someone. They contacted PetPromise and we knew we had to help this sweet soul….even having been through whatever he had been through he purred when people came to help Him and he even head butted them to say thank you. He went to the vet and was treated and neutered and we found out what we didn’t want to hear. This sweet boy had FIV. While FIV is certainly not a death sentence (FIV kitties can live happy long lives, just like people with AIDs) if cared for properly. (All he needs to stay in tip top shape are these things: indoor only home, vet visits at least 2X a year and more if he has a cold, daily lysine powder in his food. That's it! The powder is cheap and can be ordered from Amazon or Chewy. ) So the sad thing about his FIV status is that this sweet friendly super love bug of a boy may never get “picked” to be adopted because of his FIV+ status. People don’t understand that these babies can love and deserve a good happy life in a home where someone will love them even though they aren’t perfect. New studies have shown that FIV+ and FIV neg cats can live together as long as the cats are neutered and no fighting is happening, as the new science suggests that the chance of transmission is relatively low. See https://www.humanesociety.org/news/fiv-positive-cats for more information. Further information on FIV in cats: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv However, it would be great if Darwin were in a home without other cats (as they can share colds and viruses that do not affect them at all but which could be dangerous to Darwin because his immune system is compromised. But no matter what…this boy just wants a home where he can cuddle (he loves loves loves people and is the friendliest boy.). We wish that people would give him a chance.

Story
Mango is an outgoing, affectionate boy who was found wandering a smoothie cafe’s parking lot looking very skinny and sick. He showed no hesitation to be rescued. In fact, he jumped right into an open car door and laid down on a stranger’s lap! Once taken to the vet, it turned out Mango had a mouth full of bad teeth that all needed to be pulled. (He promises this wasn’t a ploy to ensure he could enjoy delicious canned wet food the rest of his life.) Speaking of open doors…despite knowing how great indoor life is, old habits die hard, and Mango has a tendency to casually waltz outside and briefly take a gander around when a door is opened. He probably lived outside for quite some time in his life; however, his perfect litter box habits and friendliness indicate he was likely was an indoor kitty for a good part of his life. His foster mom says she’s never seen a sweeter boy. Mango pretty much lives for love and affection, and eagerly escorts household members to their bed, the kitchen, the dinner table, the couch, etc. It’s worth noting that Mango is a very brave boy. He has never met a stranger and adores people. He is completely unbothered by vacuums, sudden/loud noises, other cats, small humans, and new visitors. Mango is estimated to be around 5-6 years old and is a huge fan of scratcher boards and chasing furry mice toys. He hasn’t been exposed to dogs in his foster mom’s house, but we think he’d be just fine if his new home has canine family members. Mango is a very healthy boy despite his FIV positive status. When he was found, Mango's mouth was a MESS and PetPromise did the hard work of getting his mouth healed up thru several surgeries, antibiotics and laser treatment. In fact, Mango has no teeth but that doesn't stop him in the slightest. Mango has now been cleared by the vet for adoption! The only outward indication that Mango is FIV+ is that he sneezes occasionally. The best treatment that we have found for this is daily lysine supplement in his food and that appears to keep the sneezing at bay. Mango, while FIV+, is a VERY EASY special needs kitty. All he needs to stay in tip top shape are these things: indoor only home, vet visits at least 2X a year and more if he has a cold, daily lysine powder in his food. That's it! The powder is cheap and can be ordered from Amazon or Chewy. While vet expenses cannot be fully anticipated, Mango does not require any special food or anything super costly to keep him healthy at this time. FIV+ cats can live long, healthy, fulfilling lives when given proper care and new science indicates that FIV+ and FIV neg cats can live together. As long as the cats are neutered and no fighting is happening, the new science suggests that the chance of transmission is relatively low.

He is a darling boy that deserves the best of homes! If you can give Mango the love he deserves please complete an adoption application at http://petpromise.org/adopt
