COURTESY POST.  Bandit is staying with his family for the time being since we are completely overloaded with kittens!  Bandit is a 6 year old declawed male Himilayan (possibly Ragdoll) mix.  He is super sweet and loves to cuddle.  We aren’t sure how he gets along with other animals, but we will find out soon as he will be coming to an adoption event at the Macon Petsmart this Sunday (7/24/11) if you’d like to meet him!  Bandit is a laid-back, quiet guy and would prefer a quieter home with no small children – the child in his current home scares him.  He bonds pretty quickly to his humans, and loves to sit next to you and be petted while watching TV.  He is declawed, so he needs an INSIDE ONLY home.  Email rmorris@netcommander.com for more info.

You can visit the cats during store hours. Adoptions are held Monday through Friday from 6-7pm, and on weekends from 11-4.

Scooterbug was a 3 week old kitten when I first took him in to rescue. He was bottle fed and spoiled completely rotten, and was adopted at 10 weeks of age. Unfortunately, his adopter had to return him due to circumstances (and no fault of his own). He has adjusted remarkably well for an adult cat returned after two years. He gets along great with other cats, dogs and kids. Scoot is just the best kind of cat – loving and sweet, a bit playful, and goes with the flow in the household. He would do best with another cat or dog (or two or three!) in the household, but could be an only cat if necessary. He likes to sleep in the bed with you, and be careful not to leave change or small items laying around that you might need – he has a habit of picking them up and hiding them under the kitchen rug!
Scooter would prefer to be an inside-only cat. He weighs 12 1/2 lbs.

• Name: Blaine
• Age: 2.5 Years (as of May ’11)
• Breed: DSH
• Gender: Male

Blaine is about two and a half years old and is a very affectionate, good natured cat. He adores people, other cats and dogs and loves kids. He takes great care of the foster kittens in his foster home, giving them baths and playing with them. He always seems to have his arms wrapped around another cat. he also adores people and likes to sleep on his foster mom’s chest – which can sometimes be a problem because he’s a little bit heavy! Blaine has had a cold since he was a kitten that he can’t seem to shake. We think he might be able to clear up if he were in a home where there wasn’t another cronicly ill cat (his foster mom’s cat Singlewide also has a cold nearly all the time). If you’re willing to help get this sweet boy well, we would provide medicine and vitamins, which in addition to a fresh environment will likely help him get rid of this cold. If this sounds like something you’re up to, and would like to adopt this amazingly gentle and affectionate cat, email his foster mom – rmorris@netcommander.com

• Name: Wilson
• Age: 3 years
• Breed: Domestic shorthair mix
• Gender: Male

Wilson is a very odd cat. His mom sadly had to give him up due to severe illness, and he’s still sad about that. Wilson talks a LOT – you never have to worry about whether there’s food in the cat bow or not, because if there ain’t, Wilson will definitely let you know! He is a little shy around people, but we think he would do a lot better in a quieter home where there aren’t so many other cats around. He will co-exist with other cats, but he doesn’t like to hang out with them. Only one cat has ever managed to make friends with Wilson, and that is Palmer (check out this special cat’s bio as well!). Wilson would rather just kind of hang around than mingle. He is a worry wart, and will pull his hair out when he gets stressed. At one point he was nearly hairless from the top of his belly to the tip of his tail! He also has a flea allergy, so he has to have his flea treatment right on time every month or he will get sores. I know this is a lot to ask of a new home, but Wilson deserves a chance.

Meet Ugly Betty, affectionately named that because of her, um, “different” appearance. She’s a tortie, but is mostly black with orange randomly sprinkled in. Unfortunately, it isn’t really her appearance that keeps her from getting adopted. Though she’s been in foster care and had constant contact with people since she was three weeks old, she is still very skittish around people, and will only allow you to pet her once you are “approved”, and then only fleetingly. It was a year before she started sleeping on the bed with her foster parents, and she does get more affectionate when the house is dark and quiet. Now she jumps on the bed and head-butts her foster mom nearly every night. She is also known as “Wrap-Around” Betty, because when she rubs against you, she throws her whole body into it and you often have a tail in your face.

We know Betty isn’t the most adoptable cat, but she really deserves a chance to have a home of her own, where there aren’t so many other foster cats and so much change going on around her. She does have a reduced adoption fee. Please ask about Betty – email rmorris@netcommander.com for more information.

Aspen was found in the woods at 4 weeks old, scrawny and near death, with a raging eye infection. We were able to bring her back to health with lots of love and good food, but her right eye will always be smaller and have very limited vision. There’s no reason to remove the eye, so it’s just a physical trait she will always have. It doesn’t bother her one little bit though! She is very spunky and loves to play. She adores other cats, dogs and kids, and would be great in just about any home that has some time each day to play with her – she loves the laser light!

Lana is a very sweet 8 year old cat. She doesn’t really like other cats, but she will co-exist with them. She doesn’t mind dogs, either. She is an extremely affectionate cat. When I first brought her home, I showed her the litterbox, food and water, and went to lay down because it had been a long day. I was shocked when, 3 minutes later, she jumped on the bed and snuggled with me. I had just met her, and she had lived for several years with her previous owner, yet she adjusted to life in a new home almost immediately.

Helena is a very sweet cat. She’s about 1 1/2 years old and is very laid back. She is okay with living with other cats and dogs, though she isn’t thrilled with them.
