Reeky Bob or Bob as he prefers to be called (who we think is around 2) was trapped during one of our TNR projects. Our volunteer quickly realized that he is one of the numerous friendly cats that end up on the street in Trenton all the time. 😑 . We hope to get him a forever home where his new people will keep him inside and safe . This cool dude with the beautiful eyes hopes someone will adopt him soon !!!! He does okay with cats who are mellow (like him) and don't invade his personal space LOL. (he probably wouldn't love living with littles- too rambunctious for him) He is very thankful we grabbed him and took him off the street in Trenton. Bob is really a great cat and we can't believe no one has applied to adopt him yet !

Trouble Loves Me is no trouble at all. He's a very good boy who was found outside in Trenton who is around a year old. He's very lucky someone called for help for him so he didn't have to spend any more time living on the street. This young man absolutely adores humans and is super cuddly. His foster mom said he is a wonderful kitty. Although he totally loves people he does NOT like other kitties so he has to be the only kitty in the house.

Sweet, sweet, sweet. Also, sweet. Open Motty's enclosure and -- whoops! Where is that rascal heading? Why, your arm, your shoulder, your lap. Any human will do! We see Motty in a busy household with plenty of toys and people to love her. She's ne year old and was surrendered to the shelter by her owner. She's not letting that get her down, she's confident someone will adopt her soon !!!

Little Syrus (he's a year old) isn't sure how he wound up in the shelter -- his owner gave him up -- and he wants out. When he turned his clear bright eyes on us, we could tell this one is just waiting to blossom in the care of a quiet home. When we stroked his ears and face with a baby wipe, to remind him of his birth mum's gentle care, he relaxed and rubbed his head on a volunteer's hand. (Then he hissed to say he wanted his alone time again. OK, Syrus! Tee-hee!) An experienced kitty person would be ideal to build his confidence and tap that inner love-bug potential. He's just moved into one of our foster homes and so glad he is back in a home environment- now he just needs his forever home !!!

Linus is a five-year-old handsome kitty who was pulled out of a really bad living situation in Trenton. He’s a very chill dude but, he does sometimes like to play with toys. He’s a champion at rubbing his body against people when he is feeling happy. He loves to sleep in the people beds. He’d be happy as an only cat, but he also does well with and likes other mellow laidback kitties. He’s basically a sweet handsome guy who is looking for a calm home, he sounds like we should be able to get him adopted fairly easily……… correct ?
Well, not as easy as we wish it would be, Linus has diabetes insipidus, a non-life-threatening disorder that rare in cats. His body does not produce vasopressin, a hormone that helps his kidneys keep water in his body (nothing to do with insulin or his sugar levels). He gets subcutaneous injections of a hormone twice a day (not hard to do). Anybody can learn to do this and Linus has no problem with getting the injections- especially when someone gives him a squeeze up treat after every shot- (he loves squeeze ups). Diabetes insipidus will not shorten Linus' life, and he can miss an occasional injection with no significant effect, but he will need to be treated for the rest of his life.
So first this guy gets pulled from a really bad living situation where we’re sure no one ever took him to the vet for anything. And once we found out that he had an issue and a vet diagnosed it, we were bummed that anyone who adopts him has to be comfortable doing shots . We hope there is someone out there who has done insulin shots, or any kind of shots for a kitty, and knows they are easy peasy.
Linus just wants someone to adopt him who will love him and will care about him enough to do two shots a day that literally take seconds to do. β€œFor every pot there is a lid” so we know there is someone out there somewhere who will want to adopt this boy and give him the home he deserves to have.
