Andy: ISO guardian angels

This is Andy. Andy is about 12 weeks old, and he became a Feline Rescue "special needs kitty" this week.

A good Samaritan noticed Andy on the side of the road and stopped to pick him up and bring him to medical attention. You can't tell by the photos, but one of his back legs is badly mangled, we think from a run-in with another critter. Our expert orthopaedic consultant thinks his ankle (which looks like a knee on kitties) is too damaged to save, and the leg will have to be amputated.What you can see in the photo are Andy's front paws, curled as he makes biscuits in the air. Andy is a sweet, sweet boy, with a very plucky spirit and lots of love to dispense to his human helpers. He must have at least one good guardian angel who kept him safe from that critter who wanted to have him for lunch, and impulsed a random stranger to rescue him from the streets.
Now Andy is looking for a few more guardian angels. First, he could use some help with his veterinary bills. Would you be willing to sponsor part of Andy's surgical care? Please let Cathy know by calling 651.230.3263 and she will let you know how you can help.

Second, and most importantly, Andy needs a home! Do you have room in your home and heart for a very special little 3-legged cat? Sign up now!

For more information about Andy, to have any questions answered, or to start an adoption application, call Cathy at 651-230-3263

In loving memory of Subira

Subira

Unknown – June 17, 2010

She was smart.

She was cranky.

She was odd.

She was Adorable.

She had strong opinions.

She could sing for her supper – also lunch and breakfast and snacks.

She was so Odd that she was Adorable.

We Loved Her.

She was Precious.

In memory of Subira and Frazier, help Feline Rescue help even more kitties. Find out how you can help.

We love you Frazier

Long-time shelter favorite Frazier (pictured center) passed away peacefully last night with friends by his side. Frazier had many admirers of both the feline- and people-kind. He will be greatly missed.

Stinkerbell and Stasi

We just received another great Stinkerbell and Stasi update. When we last posted an update this pair, adopted from Feline Rescue a year apart, were well on their way to being closely bonded friends.

From their mom:
The kitties are doing really well. Stasi is still nervous around new people, but he is completely devoted to me, and is a real love bug. The last time I weighed him, he was 18 pounds! He and Stinkerbell are cuddling and playing all the time, and love the nice weather with open windows for better bird-watching (and listening).

Cleopatra's New Additions

Cleopatra was recently abandoned at the Feline Rescue Adoption Center and it was quickly apparent to volunteers that she was due to deliver kittens any day.

Fifi's foster caregiver agreed to also take in Cleopatra and yesterday Cleopatra gave birth to eight kittens as sleek and beautiful as mom. Initial guess by foster mom is that there are 5 girls and 3 boys.

Congratulations to both momma cat and foster mom who will be quite busy taking care of this large family.

PURR PURR PURR PURR PURR

Looking for a kitten that loves to purr, snuggle, and cuddle when she's not too busy playing? You're in luck 14 week old Button is looking for her forever home.

Button is one of Lulu's babies and she's ready to venture out. Most of her siblings have already been spoken for but being a black kitten, catching someone's eye is a bit tough at times.

Because Button is a very young kitten she will need to find a home where there is another young cat to play with or be adopted with another kitten.

If you are interested in meeting cute Button, please call Joan at 651-705-6264.
