100 days ago Merino and Big Horn were huddled together in a wire slat cage, emaciated, sick and scared.
During a trip to visit our shelter partners in Louisiana, Ashlynn, our Executive Director, met them and knew any chance of them recovering and having a future was bleak without Paws and Claws. A couple weeks later, these two made a life changing journey to Evanston and began their new chapter. We introduced you to them then and now several months later Big Horn and Merino are completely changed.
In the end they needed a few simple things; medical care for their infected ears, antibiotics for their respiratory infections, basic medical care and a safe home to heal.
Their foster, Allison, has helped them put on weight, and learn all that life has to offer (cuddles, afternoon sunlight, window watching and the company of each other).
Allison shared that: Merino gets “the rollies,” where she rolls around, purring and letting out high-pitched trilling meows. Bighorn is looking for someone who is willing and enthusiastic to snuggle him.
Our job here is done. Merino and Big Horn are healed, happy and ready for their last big move… it’s time they found their forever family! Could that be you? Apply: https://www.pawsandclawscatrescue.org/adoptable
These two are included in our special discount for our lovely longtermers that runs until this Friday.
