Cotton |
DOB:
Estimated 2/05 |
 |
Senior for Seniors & Special Needs
Kitty!
Cotton
is a very special cat. He
has lots of love to give and wants a family to share it with.
He'll sit in your lap forever
and stare into your eyes while purring and kneading like a big
overgrown kitten. He would do well with any family as he
is so sweet and laid back. His prior owner was an elderly
lady who
had to move into a nursing home. Cotton and his housemates
were put outside. He
was at a little disadvantage since he had lost vision in
one eye from an old injury.
Cotton tested positive for FIV, but
is in great health and will more than likely live to be an old
man. Right now he's approximately 6 years old,
but still enjoys chasing feather toys and small moving objects.
Cotton likes to be in charge so he would
probably do best in a home as the only cat or with another
easy-going kitty. He adores kittens though and will take care
of them just as if he is their mother. He even lets them
pretend-nurse if they need to be comforted. He has been a great
asset to his foster Mom and her foster kittens that no longer
have their mom. Cotton is also dog friendly.
The adoption fee has been waived for this
special boy who deserves a wonderful forever home. |

Billy Joe |
DOB: 5/08 |
 |
Billy Joe is a very confident and affectionate young cat.
She loves to play with her buddies in her foster home, but gets
very grumpy when she has to go to Pet Smart on adoption days.
She prefers to hang out with her best friends, Ebony and
Ophelia. Billy Joe would be a great single kitty or as an
addition to another nice kitty's home. If you are
looking for a sweet, affectionate adult Calico cat; please fill
out a
pre-adoption form online for Billy Joe. Her foster mom
will be glad to meet you at Pet Smart at a time of your
convenience and introduce you to this great cat. |

Annie |
DOB:
Estimated 2/09 |
 |
Annie was rescued from the "streets"
two months ago. She was covered in fleas, very skinny and
very hungry. Just look at her now! She loves
her foster Mom, but except for one of her foster Mom’s five
other female cats, none of them like her. She tries to
play with them, but they don’t play nicely with her!
When her foster Mom is at work, sweet little Annie has to stay
in a room by herself. She likes being an indoor kitty, but
needs to find a home where she feels welcome. Annie will
do well in a home with another young kitty or as an only kitty.
She loves affection and one of her favorite spots is on her
foster Mom's bed. She's going to be a little cat, but is
gaining weight every day and is quite proud of her shiny coat.
Annie would love to become part of your family and make your
home her forever home. If you adopt this loving little
girl, you’ll have a friend for life. |

Teenie Weenie |
DOB: 5/09 |
 |
Teenie Weenie's mother was a stray
cat that happened to live near a local lawyer's office.
Seeing a chance to do a good deed, these lawyers rescued Teenie
Weenie and family. Although she is no longer teenie, she's
still a great kitten.
Always active, she loves to play, climb cat trees, and chase
the other foster kittens she lives with. She gets along well
with adult cats and is used to living with a dog. An
ear infection as a
younger kitten causes her
head to tilt slightly off center, it's as though she is always
asking a question. It's very cute and just looking at her makes
you giggle. As a result of this amusing trait, her
nickname is "Tipsy". |
|
|
Phoebe |
DOB: 9/08 |
 |
Phoebe is a very sweet young lady that was found living behind a
supermarket. Phoebe loves attention, but is afraid when she’s
picked up. She must have had a bad experience with humans
in the past. Her best friend to play with in her foster
home is Mara. Phoebe would be perfect for a kind person
looking for a gentle companion to snuggle with. |

Happy |
DOB: 8/01 |
 |
Special Needs & Senior for Seniors Cat!
I’m Happy, a stray! A caring couple recently
took me to a veterinarian for an exam. I
received an annual wellness exam, an FVRCP
vaccination, a Rabies vaccine, ear mite treatment,
Frontline, plus a bath, neutering and a nail trim.
Did I ever get the works! One more thing.
I tested positive for feline leukemia.
With this condition I can have a good life, but I
need a home inside where there are no other cats.
With proper, loving care, I can have a long and
happy life. I have a very gentle
personality and love people. Whoever selects me as
their feline will surely have a treasure. I’ll be
grateful to them beyond measure.
Please contact my foster family at (770)253-8188 if you would
like to meet me.

Earl
is just a big baby! He likes to sit on his foster mom’s lap
whenever she sits down. He is very much a lap and bed
kitty. He and his siblings, Nellie and William, deserve an award
for being the nicest, friendliest and having the softest fur of
all the Fayette Humane Society's cats! Earl's fur is a
luxurious grey color. Earl is very happy playing or
snuggling with Nellie and William. Earl patiently waits
for a special family to make him their treasured pet. He

Two Face |
DOB: 6/09 |
 |
Two Face was found all alone hiding in a drain when she was only
6 weeks old. She had an injury that had severely
abscessed, but with good medical care, she's well and happy and
ready for her forever home. Despite her name she has only
one personality! She's an active and playful little girl,

dog. |
|

Chicken Little |

Chicken Little and her littermates were rescued from living in a
very dangerous situation under a dumpster behind Home Depot. She
is a very sweet and petite little girl, but loves to tussle with
her foster sisters, Two Face and Teenie Weenie. She does
well with adult cats and is dog-friendly. Chicken Little
is still a little shy and would be best suited for a quieter
home environment where she's hoping to find her forever home.

Marco |
DOB: Estimated 8/21/09 |
 |
Marco was rescued from the streets by a kind truck driver; he
was very afraid of people and hard to catch. Now, Marco loves
to play with his foster family's other cats and dog. He
patiently waits in the kitchen, just in case his foster Mom is
clumsy and a piece of ham or anything else interesting, falls on
the floor. He has learned to trust and accept love. Marco is a
beautiful kitten - his fur is sleek and shiny. He really looks
like a panther. He will be a loyal companion, just shower him
with love. Marco is neutered and current on his shots. |
|
|
Twilight |
DOB: Estimated 5/01/09 |
 |
Twilight was found with her mother and two siblings in a rural
neighborhood when she was about eight weeks old. She was
afraid at first because she had probably never been around
people - but she warmed up quickly. She has gray tiger
stripes and the softest fur with pretty green eyes. She
likes other kitties and gets along with anyone new.
Twilight isn't a lap kitty yet, but she loves attention and
loves to be petted. She may become the best lap kitty ever
if you'll give her that chance and make her part of your family. |

Selena |
DOB: Est. 3/08/09
"Come See Me in the Cat Care Room" |
 |
Selena is a gorgeous medium-haired orange tabby who was found
living in the woods when she was a very small kitten. She
was rescued, spayed and given all her shots and now enjoys
playing with her kitty friends, Harry and Kiku. This is an
extremely sweet young cat who will likely get along with any cat
as she is very tolerant of her crazy foster brother kitty.
She startles easily by sudden movement or loud noises so she
would prefer a home without small children. Selena
is incredibly sweet and curious and even talks to her foster mom
and sits on the back of her chair while she works. Selena
also loves to play catch with her soft cat toys. If you
have a special home for this very adorable little lady, please
give us a call. |

Butterfly |
Good Samaritan Rescues Six
Kittens From August Flood!
Butterfly is a petite little Tortie colored kitten. She is
also a legend on the small screen. She was recently
featured on a channel 11 Alive news piece. Fortunately for
us, she doesn't plan on moving to Hollywood quite yet. Instead,
she is patiently waiting for her own family. She loves to
play; she sometimes tries to fly! She'll sit
in your lap or on your shoulder and purrrrr.
Butterfly is a very good snuggle buddy and loves warm things
like a heating pad or electric blanket. She also likes
computers and is working on her typing skills!

Ciara
|
Ciara is a tiny kitten with silky black fur. She was the last
of her brothers and sisters to be rescued from the August
flooding at the State Farmer's Market. She spent a
long night alone during the rain. Thankfully her foster
mom came back to look for any more survivors- and there was
Ciara! More recently, she gets her daily exercise by
chasing moving toys. She likes to sit and watch TV too.
She loves warm places and will climb up on the printer where
it’s warm to watch her sisters as they type! Ciara is
still a little shy,
but will come sit by you when it’s her idea and will climb in
bed with you. She will need a special family who will be
patient with her and give her time to become comfortable with
them and her new home. |
|
Stetson
|
Stetson is a big kitten with silky black fur. He nearly
drowned during the August rainstorms. Lucky for him, his foster
mom rescued him as he and his siblings were literally swimming
for their lives. He loves to be petted. (His nickname is
Petty.) He is very boisterous and a great “purrer” when
he’s in your lap being petted. He’s fascinated by the
computer screen and
watches his sisters and brothers as they play on the
keyboard. Stetson likes to be the center of attention, but
you’ll be rewarded 100 times over if you shower him with love
- this big sweet cat will be your loyal friend forever.
Stetson also likes his foster family’s dog. |
|
Brut |
Brut, also known as Brutus, is a big, soft black kitten with two
white whiskers. His foster family named him Brut, because
he pretends to act like a “brut”
with his brother and sisters. Brut was another kitten
rescued from certain death by drowning during the August
flooding at the State Farmer's Market. He is grateful for
a life of safety and comfort. He shows his love of life daily.
He plays with the dog, helps on the computer, and likes to watch
TV. Brut is very loving – but also very playful. He
races through the house playing chase with his siblings, but
when he’s tired, he makes a great snuggle buddy! |

Little Mary |
DOB: Estimated 7/6/09 |
|
 |
Little Mary was discovered with several other kittens in a
busy shopping area. They were dumped and abandoned.
Little Mary and another kitten were very lucky to have been
found before any danger could befall them- they were both
missing a foot due to a congenital defect. Little Mary
also has a deformity of her remaining rear foot.
Little Mary is a little shy; however, she is a happy and
sweet kitten. She is extremely grateful to be safe and
sound in her foster home. She could only be happier if
she was in her forever home. Do you have room for this
special needs kitten?

Blackie
Possum |
Blackie and Possum were born to a stray cat at a busy office
complex. They were rescued and cared for by a kind
lady that worked at the complex. She is unable to
keep them though, so now she's looking for their forever
home. They are tremendously affectionate and just can't
get enough attention. Wherever you are, is where they
want to be. They are still young and enjoy playtime;
but otherwise they are relatively calm. They are
both petite little darlings that enjoys snuggling on the
couch or bed just as much as playing. If you need
someone to make you feel loved, then Blackie and Possum are
the kitties for you. They love other cats and are used to
living with a dog, but have not been around young
kids.

Tigger |
DOB: Estimated 5/09
|
|
 |
What a bundle of joy this little guy
is! He is a yellow tiger with orange stripes. I
named him Tigger because he likes to bounce around like
“Tigger the Tiger.” He is full of energy and always
looking for something new to intrigue him. Tigger was
one of 10 cats and kittens who were left in the woods to
fend for themselves when their owners moved out of state.
He is a very cautious kitten at first (he’s only been
around women, so he’s very shy around men). Once you
show him he’s safe and loved, he’ll brighten your day with
his exuberance! He’s been neutered and would be a
wonderful addition to any loving family. He would do
great with other cats and he gets along well with my Yorkie.

Butterscotch |
DOB: Estimated 5/09 |
|
 |
What a little sweetheart!
She is a petite young cat with a very sweet and dainty
disposition. Butterscotch was one of 10 cats and
kittens who were left in the woods to fend for themselves
when their owners moved out of state. She is a gentle,
lovable kitten. She is skittish at first and needs someone
that will make her feel safe. Once she trusts you, you
won’t find a better lap kitty. She has been spayed and
is ready for a loving home that will help her forget how
lonely and frightening her life was in the woods. She
does great with other cats and also small dogs.

|
Esther |
Estimated DOB: 2004 |
 |
Esther has a
record, fortunately though, she has reformed her felonious ways;
she just needs a wonderful home to keep her straight.
Esther found herself trying to break into someone’s house
recently! She turned up in an unfamiliar
neighborhood-maybe she got lost or perhaps someone abandoned
her. Either way, she didn’t like living outside in the cold and
decided she wanted to move inside. Since the owner of the
house is allergic to cats, she ended up coming to us at FHS.
Esther wasn't wearing identification, or a microchip and has not
been claimed. She is a very affectionate lady, who would
love nothing more than to have a warm lap to snuggle on during
these cold winter evenings. |

playful. She is fine with children and other cats.
She has not been around dogs though. She would be grateful to be
a treasured pet again. She just wants a warm lap to cuddle on

Ava |
DOB: 7/09 |
|
|
Ava
was found abandoned along a major highway in July of 2009. She
was so young, she had to be bottle fed every two hours. She was
nursed back to health and then adopted as a young kitten.
Ava finds herself homeless, again because her "Forever family"
moved and did not bring Ava with them. She is now looking for a
new home. Despite everything, Ava is a terrific kitten, she is
affectionate and playful. Because she was bottle fed, she
really craves human attention- she is a people kitten. She would
fit into a home with dogs, other cats and children or she would
be a terrific companion in a more sedate home. Can you give
Ava that loving, forever home? |

|
Salem |
DOB: 2009 |
|
|
Salem was rescued from Animal Control; they were afraid she was
feral and could not be socialized. Salem's foster family took
her in with the belief that this special kitten had the
potential to be a great pet, given enough attention. Salem is
her foster mom's " star pupil" - tamed after a mere two and a
half months of work. Salem is
now fully socialized-she seeks out human contact in
her foster home, even from those not in the immediate
family circle. She loves to snuggle on a lap. Sometimes, she
even enjoys a tummy rub. Her foster
family is thrilled to hear her purr with all this
handling. She plays games enthusiastically
with her foster "siblings" and humans. A very gentle and
loving soul, she will
make a great addition to a family. She is
used to other cats, but has not been around dogs. Her nickname is TOE/TOE - she has a single
white toe on her rear left foot. Please
email today, if you are interested in meeting Toe-Toe. |

delightful, sensitive companion. |

Juliet |
DOB: 1/1/10 |
|
|
Juliet is a New Years kitten!! This adorable ball of
fluffy fur has a sweet disposition. She loves to play
and then lie on your lap when she's tired. She would be
comfortable in a home with other cats and children.
Because she is so even tempered, she will probably get used to a
home with a dog without any problems. Juliet is a great young
kitten. Do you need her to complete your pet family? |
|
According to an article recently published in CatFancy
magazine, 80% of vets agree that cats are social creatures and it is better
to have two or more instead of just one. Just one cat will get
lonely and prefers the company of another cat. Some of a cat's bad
behavior can be attributed to loneliness. "Two cats are just as easy as
one. Not only will they keep each other company, but owning two cats
will provide a happier living environment," Veterinary Behaviorist
Stefani Schwartz says.
