Sponsorship Cats 

Hemingway - Male - 5 years
Hemingway Polydactyl
 

I had a tough life before I got here but things are starting to turn around for me.  I don’t have to scrounge looking for my next meal, I always have fresh water and there’s always a litter box nearby.  I thought I was in heaven until I was told there’s a better place called a Purrmanent Home and it would really benefit my health and attitude if someone would give me a chance to be their furry buddy.  I have beautiful orange swirls that are very enticing and I’m really good at grooming myself and have excellent litter box manners.  I get scared if I’m around too many cats so if you have another FIV+ cat or an older cat that’s very mellow looking for a friend PLEASE consider taking me home.  Read more about FIV, cats can live for many years without symptoms. 

Brianna - female - 1½ years
 My mom was one of the first Hurricane Katrina victims. She was caught in the flood and was not rescued for a very long time. In the meantime she had to drink the toxic water in order to survive, that's when I was born. We were all finally rescued by ARNO when I was two weeks old. One week later my littermates and I were brought to The Pat Brody Shelter for Cats because my mom did not survive. Even though I am a year and a half old now all of my teeth have been pulled except my two canines because of severe stomatitis and gum disease. I have been treated for a long time now by Dr. Shunk of Hillsborough County Vet but my immune system is still very low and I have bare spots on my back and sides due to the strong Clindamycin shots. I am trying to put on weight and the volunteers are keeping me in the kitchen to give me extra attention. If you are looking to foster a very loving kitty, that's me!!

You know, my time has come to find a home.  Melanie, Duncan and Bonkers have all found homes recently and I’m hoping that I will too.  I get along great with other cats and I don’t require too much attention.  I would love a safe indoor/outdoor environment with a purrson to give me some attention every day.  I don’t care to be held but I will let you pet me and brush me.  Please have another kitty for me because I like to rub up against other kitties and welcome them to hang out with me.  Ignore the name, I’m really a boy so I’m kinda hoping to get a more macho name soon.
