💕 Special Needs Cats Deserve Special Homes or Fosters! 💕
We have many incredible cats who need patient, loving people willing to open their hearts and homes to cats with special medical needs. Today we are spotlighting just 3 of them. All three featured are also looking for foster homes!
These girls aren't looking for perfection. They're looking for someone who sees them for who they truly are, not their diagnosis.
DAISY 🌼 - Needs Quiet & Patience
Daisy is a 6-year-old FIV+ girl who's struggling in the shelter's busy environment. She's withdrawn and shy right now but that's the stress talking, not her true personality.
Before the shelter, Daisy showed herself to be a sweet, gentle cat who thrived in a calm home. She just needs someone patient enough to help her trust again.
Daisy needs:
🐾A quiet, predictable only-cat home
🐾Patience while she learns to trust
🐾Peace and her own space
🐾Someone who understands healing takes time
About FIV: FIV affects only cats and cannot spread to people or other animals. Many FIV+ cats live long, healthy lives!

PANDA 🐾 - Needs Love & Cuddles
Sweet Panda came to us from animal control, and all she wants is love and a warm lap to curl up on. This little angel is 4 years old and FELV+ (positive).
FELV cats can live normal, healthy lives for many years. Panda just needs someone to love her unconditionally and give her the best life possible however long that may be.
Panda needs:
🐾A loving home where she can be a lap cat
🐾Someone who will cherish her and give her the best life
🐾Unconditional love
🐾To know she matters
The love you'll get in return will far outweigh the time you spend together.

MRS. RIPLEY ✨ - Extra Special & Affectionate
Mrs. Ripley is a wonder! When she was in utero, her right front leg split in half. She has two partial legs on one side—a five-legged cat! But here's the thing: she gets around beautifully with a charming little hop, like it's no big deal.
Mrs. Ripley is 2 years old, FIV+, and completely healthy otherwise. She's incredibly affectionate and full of personality.
Mrs. Ripley needs:
🐾A home that celebrates her uniqueness
🐾Someone who sees her potential, not her "disability"
🐾An affectionate owner ready to love a special girl
🐾A family that understands she's perfect exactly as she is
Mrs. Ripley will inspire you with her resilience and her heart.

Why Special Needs?
These cats often spend longer in shelters because adopters hesitate. But the truth? They have so much love to give. They just need someone willing to see past the diagnosis, be patient and consistent, provide a quiet safe home, and love them for who they are.
Could you open your home to one of these amazing girls?
