why you should consider an adult cat:
 It might be their last chance.
Many adult cats end up homeless due to no fault of their own. Separated from the people that they loved, surrounded by strangers, confused, and sometimes frightened, many are emotionally devastated by their misfortune. Sadly for adult cats, most people who adopt, gravitate toward the adorable, bouncy, big-eyed kittens. Older cats sit by and watch, as one loving family after another passes them over for a cute kitten from this season's litter. Kittens will always be popular, and most have no trouble attracting admirers. But for the abandoned, forgotten, and heartbroken adult cats, you just might be their last chance to have the love and warmth of a home with people who will love them again.
Please consider adopting an older cat. When cared for properly, cats can live well into their late teens to early twenties. Typically, they will remain active and playful throughout most of their lives. Some may need a little extra patience while adjusting to a new home, but once they feel safe and secure again, they will give you years of faithful companionship and unconditional love.

Pewter is a very sweet, gentle and very shy (semi-feral) little boy. He is a beautiful silver/gray dilute tabby that was doing his best to survive alone in the woods amongst raccoons, hawks & Coyotes. It is amazing that he stayed alive as long as he did. He was so skinny and suffering from dehydration and poor nutrition when he was finally saved. He was very very afraid at first but is staring to come around. He will need a loving person who has a lot of patience, and who will show him love and give him a little time to come around. Could you, would you be Pewter's savior?

Unfortunately, the whole ordeal has affected Shadow in a way that we may never understand. You see, he has never felt that he can completely trust people since he was saved. Perhaps something terrible happened to him while he was defending himself against the big world. We will never know. However, we do know that he will need someone who is willing to spend a great deal of time with him to help him overcome his fears. He knows you're out there please give him a chance!

Rocky...he is all boy and ALL PURRS and ALL LOVE! This large cuddle bug was a
farm kitten that wandered away from the farm and who was rescued as a young cat.
He was wild and mean...and scared! But PetPromise had a volunteer willing to rehabilitate this big
tough baby...as she saw the big soul and all of the love reflected int his cat's eyes.
With time and patience...and a lot of work...the once "wild" Rocky was cuddling, purring,
jumping into laps, rubbing on legs....and begging to be held. Rocky is one of our most successful feral
rehabilitations. He loves other cats, people, food, and even does well with nice friendly dogs.
Rocky is a special boy....and would love to be the center of someone's world where he can live
happily and safely with his very own family for the rest of his life!

Approximate Birth Date: January 2004

Alec is a cute...short legged, long bodied, love bug of a cat. He was rescued from the
woods where he was living with the raccoons, fighting for food. As you can imagine, after growing
up in this way....Alec was pretty scared, shy, and wild when we found him. But after
a year of rehabilitation and a lot of volunteer time and effort....little Alec is now
a happy, friendly and loving boy!!!! Just think....he would probably have suffered a terrible death long ago had someone not seen the potential in this boy.
Alec likes other cats, loves, loves LOVES to be petted
and to be the center of attention (he will even smack you with his paw if he thinks
you ignored him when you walked by.) He is a wonderful guy who is just waiting for
someone to recognize how wonderful he really is. Could you be that person?

Sweet little Henry. This poor boy was found as a young boy in the woods living
in an abandoned log. He was not doing so well...starving...scared...he hardly
looked like a cat when we rescued him. It took us a long time and a lot of work
to win this sweet boy over. He was so very scared. We cannot even imagine what
he had been through that would have traumatized him so!
Today he is a sweet little boy that prefers a quieter home with adults (the three
year old that he lives with is a bit much for this gentle soul). He LOVES people and
attention and does great with other kitties. He is fine with gentle quiet dogs....and is
just and angel. He will make a very very special friend for someone...because once Henry
loves you....you can't help buy feel special. Henry is a very very sweet boy.

BABY
~ Female
Brown & Gray Tabby; Short Hair
Approximate Birth Date: April 8, 2004
|
|
I am just a 2 year old kitty, but someone thought that I was disposable and dumped
me outdoors to fend for myself. I don't understand what I did wrong. I was very scared.
I ran through the neighborhood crying out for my owners. Dogs chased me, the cars were the scariest
part…I hadn't been outside before. It was starting to get cold at night. Everyone that
I walked up to gave me a pet on the head…but then went into their homes…leaving me outside.
I was so hungry. Some big kids found me sleeping in the bushes one evening. They were loud
and were laughing at me. One tried to grab me so I ran. I climbed a tree and when they threw rocks
at me, I jumped onto the roof of a house and ran to the window where a cat was sleeping on a
nice warm bed inside. I cried and cried and scratched on the window…begging the people to save me.
A woman opened the window and pulled me inside. It was warm and safe…I purred and rolled over
in her lap. I like to do that….I just love everyone….I am so happy to be alive!
And that is how I ended up here…with PetPromise. Now I am looking for a family and a home to call my own!
I am EXTREMELY friendly, I am a BIG CUDDLY girl (I look like a big raccoon!)...and do great with dogs, cats....and even small children!
Can I be yours? Please?

Cosette is a sweet and petite little thing! We think that she must be part Munchkin
because her front legs are so short! She is absolutely adorable when she sits up with
her short little front legs and sweet little face.
Poor little Cosette was found outside as a kitten in the heat of August. She
was suffering from heat stroke and would have died if a kind person had not
rescued her and brought her to PetPromise. She almost didn't make it. But God had other plans for this
tiny little girl!
Today, she is healthy and a happy girl who loves people and does well with other kitties, children...everyone!
She loves to sleep in baskets and is quite playful. I'm very loveable and promise to rub on
your legs if you would only make me yours. If you can give me a forever home, please complete an online adoption application today!

My name is Sheba...and my life began on a golf course. Somehow I found myself as
a kitten abandoned at a country club. Someone dumped me there thinking that I
would find someone to take me home. Unfortunately, the country club had another
idea. They wanted me gone! They called me a nuisance and tried to chase me away. The hit me
and hurt me. I was so scared. One of the employees stopped the people from abusing me further. But even she
couldn't make me hers. I hid in the bushes there terrified of the people that came and went...finding scraps of
food that the nice girl left out for me....but scared for my life.
Fortunately for me, a PetPromise volunteer arrived one day and discovered me.
I meowed at her from under the deck and I cried and cried to get her attention.
She bundled me up and took me away from there, just in time!
I am so thankful to not be hurt and abused anymore. I'm a very sweet and talkative
kitty. I love to give head butts while you are watching tv. Now all I need is my forever home!
I promise to love you forever if you will promise to keep me safe forever.

SYLVESTER ("SLY")
~ Male
Black; Short Hair
Approximate Birth Date: February, 2006
|
|
On a cold February evening a black kitty was walking down the side of a road near
campus playing in the grasses and looking for scraps of food to eat.
"Sly," as he later came to be known, was hit by a car just minutes later.
The driver that hit him didn't stop…or even slow down as Sly lay writhing in the road.
A young girl witnessed the whole thing. Sly was in severe shock. He had
a shattered jaw and crushed shoulder/leg. Several of his teeth had been knocked
out by the blow and blood was everywhere. Despite all of this, when the girl went to him,
he looked up and purred at her as she carried him to her car.
Sly was neutered, stitched, his jaw was wired so that he can eat (moist food)
on his own, some of his teeth were removed...and his crushed
shoulder and leg were set and a make-shift bandage/cast was made to save the leg that most thought would have to be amputated.
Sly is a fighter and such a sweet boy.....we can't believe that he is alive today.
He is the happiest and sweetest cat in the world despite what happened to him! His leg was miraculously saved,
but he will always carry with him the little telltale limp and the memory of what happened on that cold February day.
If you want to give Sly the home that he deserves after all that he has been through, please complete an
On-Line Adoption Application.

Gentle sweet Kenny was orphaned when his feral mother was killed. He was left
in a warehouse, along with his three brothers when he was just 4 weeks old. He was rescued just in time
and now is growing into a chubby happy little boy.
Kenny is the gentlest and most laid back boy kitty. He gently lays in your lap and purrs when held, he waits his turn for food and love, and
and then gently kisses you when it is finally his turn. He is the little angel and he tends to get picked on by the other cats int he household...so he would be best in a home where is the one and only love of someone's life (or maybe a home with just one other sweet kitty, like Kenny!)

MINI KITTY
~ Male
Gray Tabby; Short Hair
Approximate Birth Date: January, 2005
|
|
My story starts out sad......
I used to live with someone. I was comfy and warm and loved back then. I thought that I was a good kitty. They said that they loved me.
Then I heard them say we were moving. I was happy...we were going ot a new home. Then, all of a sudden,
I found myself outside a day care, dumped by my family. This wasn't supposed to happen.
I was so scared and. You see, I'm a big kitty with so much love to give. I am a really good cat.
Why would the people that I loved and who loved me throw me away like that?
I lived under the bushes at the day care for months and months.
People would pet me as I rubbed up against their legs crying for food and attention.
Some days they would feed me and some days I would go hungry. The weather got colder and colder
and finally, a kind woman got me to PetPromise.
But I still need a family of my own. I am a VERY VERY big boy! But I am a big teddy bear!
I love everyone and will come and cuddle up next to you on the couch. I like other kitties and probably dogs too.
Can you love me enough to give me a home where I will be safe forever? I promise to love you in return!

I like other kitties...but they tend to pick on me for some reason. I will follow you from room to room, sit in your lap, and when you get up...follow you there. I am just a people person!

Smokey was found going from house to house looking for someone to let him inside. He clearly had been dropped off in the neighborhood by his "owners."
He is just a young boy...and what a doll he is. Everyone who meets him just loves him.
He is absolutely adorable to look at and has an even sweeter disposition.
He obviously was part of a loving human family at one point since he has yet to meet a
human he does not immediately take to and follow around. The cable guy was out recently
and Smokey wouldn’t leave him alone. He is very friendly and has no tendency to run
and hide as some cats do. His antics are a joy and pleasure to watch, especially when
he hangs upside down by his paws from the top rung of a ladder. What a doll baby he is ....
would you make him yours? |
