Foster Homes Needed! ? City Kitties

Due to an influx of felines in need, a summer slump in our adoption rate, and several foster parents moving away, City Kitties needs volunteers willing to open their homes to formerly stray cats and kittens! The following cats and kittens are in need of immediate transfer from their current living arrangements:

Floyd

Floyd:?This poor stray guy has been through so much in his life. Floyd (formerly ?Popcorn, Sr.?) was cared for by a kind family in North Philly who fed him daily for five years, but could not afford to take him to a vet. His caretaker said that his eye injury likely came from abuse suffered at the hands of a man who used Floyd as ?bait? for his fighting dog. She witnessed the man holding Floyd by his hind legs, slamming him against a wall as his dog snarled and lunged at the cat. He survived, thanks to her intervention, but desperately needed veterinary care.

City Kitties provided Floyd with eye surgery, vaccinations, and much-needed flea treatment, and he recovered at the Cat Doctor for several weeks. We were thrilled when his caretaker told us she would bring him inside her home ? but sadly, within two weeks, her grandson?s asthma made it impossible for Floyd to stay. He is in immediate need of a foster home. We?re not sure how he would do with dogs, given his history, but he is great with kids and (according to his caretaker) also seems to get along with other cats. Floyd?s left eye was removed, but he gets around just fine and needs no special care.

Please open your home to this sweet,?lovable, one-eyed guy ? either as a foster home or forever family! He deserves a second chance after all he has been through.

Steve

Steve: Poor Steve has been on our adoption listings for more than a year, and now his foster mom can no longer care for him. Poor Steve needs a place to go ASAP! This ~2-4 year old tabby was found wandering the streets of West Philly and was taken in by his foster mom. He was in rough shape then, but look at him now! Friendly and incredibly handsome, Steve loves nothing more than snuggling between his foster parents on the couch, or saddling up to a human relaxing around the house. He is laid-back and enjoys food (maybe a little too much at times!) and attention. Steve can be picky about being handled if he?s not in the mood, but he will grow to trust and love a new family as he has his foster parents. They report that Steve is an ideal feline companion, perfect for someone in need of a reading or napping buddy.

Steve?s foster parents are moving, and since their new house will be under construction for several months, it?s not safe for Steve to go with them. ?We aren?t sure how Steve would do around cats or dogs as he hasn?t been around any in his foster home, but we think he could adjust well to other pets, given time and a proper introduction.

Cherry (or Johnny, they're identical twins!)

Cherry & Johnny: This adorable pair of bonded kittens have been in foster care for several months ? far too long for such beautiful kittens. Despite their winning personalities and matching fur coats, Cherry and Johnny were overlooked during their stint in the window at Baltimore Pet Shoppe, and again when they moved into foster care. We don?t get it! What?s not to like about this dynamic duo?! Cherry and Johnny have spent time around children, dogs, and other cats. They get along well with everyone and are gentle with kids. Simply put, they?re cute, fun, and ready to find their forever home.

Now their foster mom is moving out of the area, and they need a foster or adoptive home immediately.?Please consider applying to be their?foster home?or?forever family!

Jalapeno

Jalapeno: This beautiful tabby kitten wandered up to a City Kitties volunteer while she was watering a hot pepper plant (thus the name) and screamed for food! Skinny and friendly, there was no way the volunteer could leave her outside. Jalapeno scarfed down several bowls of kibble, then made herself right at home, flopping on the floor for a much-needed nap. Unfortunately, her rescuer has no room in her home, and Jalapeno has been staying in a boarding cage at the vet temporarily ? she needs a real home right away.

Jalapeno is about 8-10 months old and fully vetted. We?re not sure how she would do with cats, dogs, or kids, but is young enough to adapt to just about anything. She has beautiful markings, a great personality, and an adorable, slightly bossy ?meow? that will convince you to do her bidding! Please give Jalapeno the comfortable home she deserves by becoming her?foster home?or?forever family!
