Often, the animals who need us most aren't the loudest or the ones who rush to the front of their enclosures. They are the quiet, gentle ones, slowly healing and waiting patiently for someone to take a chance on them. Right now, three extra-special cats under our care are looking for their shot at happily ever after, and we need your help to make their dreams a reality.
First up are Silver and Surfer (above). The pair of 8-month-old kittens came to the shelter as strays at the end of 2025. From the moment they arrived, both Silver and Surfer proved to be sweet, affectionate, and loving cats. These two are big snugglers who adore gentle attention, playtime, and being close to their people. After completing the stray hold period unclaimed, our clinic team examined them and discovered early signs of FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), an immune-mediated viral disease in cats. They were immediately placed on a 12-week treatment plan, and we're already seeing encouraging improvement.
What Silver and Surfer need now is a quiet, cozy home where they can rest, recover, and complete their treatment in comfort. In return, they will offer their foster family endless cuddles, purrs, and companionship. Their care includes twice-daily oral medication, and all medical care and supplies are provided by the shelter. Once they finish treatment, both cats will be spayed and made available for adoption, ready to start the next chapter of their lives!
