Simba, tabby and domestic shorthair mix

Simba is a darling male tabby and domestic shorthair mix being cared for at Fortunate Feline Adoption League.

Simba is friendly as can be and he loves other cats. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He's been vaccinated and neutered. Simba is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.

Here's what Simba's friends at Fortunate Feline Adoption League think of him:

Simba came to Fortunate Feline as a 12-week old kitten. He had been born in a trailer park. He was already past the age when kittens learn easily, to trust humans and enjoy their company. He went into a foster home where he did not receive the kind of attention to help him learn to totally trust humans. Consequently, he is still somewhat shy and reticent around humans. He chooses when he wants attention. When he does, he will come and sit or lay by you and at times wrestle with you. He leaves no doubt that he wants attention. So, he needs an adopter with some experience with this type of cat.

Twix, Dilute calico and tortoiseshell mix

Twix is a female Dilute calico and tortoiseshell mix staying at Fortunate Feline Adoption League.

Twix gets along well with other cats. She is already vaccinated and spayed. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. Twix is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.

Here's what Twix's friends at Fortunate Feline Adoption League think of her:

Twix is a survivor. She was born in an area where cats were having difficulty surviving. A man was doing his best to help them by providing food and doing TNR for the adults. When he brought Twix to Fortunate Feline's vet she was flea infested and very anemic. She received treatment and was on her way to being a healthy kitten in a foster home. She has been under veterinary care. Her right eye tears a lot because she has a cloudy scar on the cornea but her vision is not impaired. It has been decided that Twix may have a herpes virus. This means that the virus may never be completely eradicated. If she is under stress, it could come back. She sometimes gets a runny eye. Her foster has found something that clears that up quickly. Her spirit has continued to flourish.

Gloria is the most introverted of all the introverted kitties. A staff member took her home for some much-needed peace and quiet.
