❤❤❤❤❤SIMONE❤❤❤❤❤
Truly hard to believe that this gorgeous Persian mix remains without a purrrmanent loving purrson.

Rescued in Egypt, flown to NYC JFK from Cairo on December 6th, two fosters later, and SIMONE, an exquisite, friendly, sweet, polite, healthy, spayed girl, about 20 months of age, is still chilling, waiting for her furrever digs to present themselves in The Big Apple. SIMONE is FeLV/FIV tested negative, current in vaccinations and microchipped. Did we mention she is stunning?

Interested parties: please reach out to us here, or email [email protected] for more information and/or an adoption application, or download from our website the application: https://placeforcats.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/PFC-Adoption-Application.pdf

!!!!!UPDATE!!!!! !!!!!!ADOPTED!!!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE help us save this kitty who is currently on death row at NYC ACC for Thursday, February 12th.

This stunning boy is FIV positive, about 7 years old, and as you can see, gorgeous. He is a gentle soul, neutered, friendly, and has many more years left that he would like to LIVE!

As you may know, FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) is NOT generally infectious, transmitting only through deep bite wounds where the saliva of an infected cat gets into the bloodstream of another during aggressive fights. FIV is NOT transmissible to humans.

According to ACC's profile of kitty, (link in comments,) Blizzard's FIV manifests only in "persistent skin lesions that have not responded to treatment in shelter. We suspect the underlying cause is allergies, and Blizzard may need to be on a long-term medication that is not available in shelter." Of course, Place For Cats will obtain a further medical evaluation of the skin lesions and identify the treatment prior to adoption.

PLEASE WILL SOMEONE STEP UP FOR THIS GORGEOUS, DESERVING BOY??? We will do a foster-to-adopt situation but a home is needed before Thursday, February 12th.

Reach out to us here on FB or email [email protected] for more information and/or an adoption application.

PLEASE SHARE FOR A HOME FOR BEAUTIFUL BLUE-EYED BLIZZARD.

May we introduce ❤❤❤❤❤❤MUFFIN ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Muffin is yet another kitty rescued from the streets of Egypt. His Rescuer found Muffin at just 6 weeks of age with just one eye after he had been abused on the streets. (See last photo of MUFFIN when first rescued.)

Place For Cats has been trying to bring MUFFIN from Cairo since November but he was too young to travel on the intervening air cargo flights. Kitties must be at least 4 months - that is the youngest that a responsible vet will administer the rabies vaccine, required for flight, and, required for entry into JFK Airport.

Darling MUFFIN hopes to fly on February 28th and will be approximately 6 months by that time.

If you are interested in adopting or fostering MUFFIN, please reach out to us here or contact us at [email protected] for more information and/or an adoption or foster application. You also may download the applications from our website placeforcats.org under FAQS.

PLEASE SHARE FOR A HOME IN THE NYC AREA FOR SWEET
💚🩵💙💜MUFFIN💜💙🩵💚.

Thank you kindly!

"SPARKLY" is a 6-month old boy who wants to leave Egypt where he was rescued some weeks ago by Egyptian Rescuer Ezzat, and head for The Big Apple, NYC!

SPARKLY is getting his medical treatments done so that he can join other kitties on a February 28th air cargo flight to JFK Airport from Cairo. Like all kitties adopted out by Place For Cats, SPARKLY will be neutered, blood tested for FeLV/FIV, microchipped, and current in FVRCP and rabies vaccinations per the rules of the Egyptian Department of Agriculture whose veterinary office must approve kitty's health and issue an official certificate for flight.

PLEASE SHARE FOR A PERMANENT HOME FOR SPARKLY!
Thank you kindly.
