Story
Sassy has had a rough start. She was found in a parking lot missing part of her tail. (What she lacks in tail, she makes up for with her big heart though). She was then adopted, but returned a few weeks later through no fault of her own. The original resident cat did not like her. This confident, older kitten loves to play and snuggle. Will you help her find her forever home?

Sweet Poppy is a black beauty and she wants you to understand that she WILL grow in to her ears! She is silly, playful and loving. Born to a friendly stray mom, her rescuers socialized this litter well and adopted her mom. Poppy gets along with nice cats and dogs, but really isn't interested in playing with them. She was treated for FIP, a mutation of the Feline Corona Virus. It is not transmissible to humans. Corona Virus is contagious, but it's mutation is not. Poppy now has a clean bill of health. All Feline Matchmakers cats get age appropriate vaccinations, fixed, tested and microchipped prior to adoption.

Story
Bonnie and Clyde were found by the staff at a doctors office in Wilmington, NC- just hanging around begging for food. Seems thier mom had dropped them under a car there for safe keeping, but didn't come back. One of the staff members scooped them up an called us. Clyde was adopted as a kitten, but turned in to a shelter years later. They said they took in an elderly family member who is allergic to cats. We wish they would have called us first, per our adoption agreement, but Clyde is now safe in foster care. As it turned out, Clyde had a massive struvite stone in his bladder and was peeing blood. We had the stone removed and he must now remain on a prescription urinary diet for the rest of his life. He has NEVER peed outside the box. An adopter must be willing to spend the money for his food and understand it is the only preventative solution.  All cats and kittens from Feline Matchmakers Inc. have age appropriate vaccinations, are fixed, tested for communicable diseases, fleas, worms, parasites and are microchipped. An application and home visit are required. Contact felinematchmakers@hotmail.com and give us your phone number for a chat. Applications at felinematchmakers.org ##837940##
