RER Cat Corner

From his mom: Black long hair is Evil Dick (names when a stray and I never thought I’d be able to touch him) but he comes running to being called Baby. Loves to be on your lap, rubbed etc, even his belly.  3 years old, FIV positive (so he really shouldn’t be outside). Thinks he is a dog probably because he will be first in line for treats and will swipe the food right out of their mouths and definitely not afraid of them, even if chased. The dogs are afraid of him. My two Rotties wouldn’t go to their food bowls if he was near them, but he’d walk right in between them when eating. Funny cat! ((current in his shots and vetting))

From his mom: Grey short hair is Coco. He is affectionate but doesn’t like kids terrorizing him (like most animals).  5 years old, neutered. Likes to cuddle with me when I’m sick or napping, but doesn’t like his belly rubbed most of the time. Is ok around dogs but doesn’t like being chased (of course). People across street had him and didn’t let him in so I was feeding him for over a year before I figured out he was theirs. He preferred my house and when they moved he came back to my  house one day, they took him back, but he came back a second time. They told me to keep him. Very low maintenance cat, except for affection here and there.   ((he is current in shots and vetting))

This holiday season, and the year that follows, please support smaller businesses like Benson's Pet Center, instead of the big box stores. This is a locally owned business who supports rescue in every single store, from cats to dogs to rabbits to fish. Supporting Benson's means your support rescue, and quality food, toys and other supplies.  And their friendly, knowledgeable staff are some of the best folks around!!!

ADOPTED!  We would love to see Franklin and Paprika find homes together if that is an option!

ADOPTED!  Paprika is the runt of the litter and has not yet been vetted because of his small size. His mom is Ginger, who is also looking for a new home. Paprika is in foster with our other little runt- Franklin. Paprika's mom and siblings all tested fiv/felv combo test negative.

ADOPTION PENDING  !  Ginger is about 5 years old. She came to rescue with her kittens (cinnamon, clove, pepper and paprika), and Rif Raf, Rik Rak, Ricki Ticki Tavi (and Ram Rod who has been adopted). She lost her home when her dad suddenly lost his home and all the cats were displaced. She is very mellow, easy going and friendly. She is cat social, human friendly, current in vetting, spayed and fiv/felv combo test negative. She is very adaptable and would be fine as an only cat or with other cats.

 ADOPTED!!  Rik Rak is a female kitten about 5-6 months old. She is shown below with her siblings (Riff Raff and Riki Tiki Tavi), who have since been adopted. They came to rescue after their owner lost his home and all his cats and kittens had to be rehomed. Shown below with her brother, Riki Tiki Tavi (with the white feet), all three of these older kittens are vetted, spayed/neuter, fiv/felv combo test negative, cat social and human friendly. They will adapt easily to a new home. 

ADOPTED!!! VanDamme was named for his big feet and kick-ass escape moves which he used (unsuccessfully) to avoid capture!  He is skiddish but LOVES being petted and cannot resist purring. He is a gorgeous and polydactl (extra toes) Siamese mix kitten about 4-5 months old. He is neutered, vetted, fiv/felv combo test negative. He is cat social. He would do well in a quiet, patient home. He came from a home with many other cats/kittens that was under construction, so he is startled by loud noises. He is a great cat who will charm and delight you.

ADOPTED!!! Storm is an adoptable 4-5 month old kitten who was homeless in Albany. She has adapted to life indoors and is cat social, but still shy with humans. She is very mellow and sweet. She would do well in a quiet house with at least one other friendly cat. She is spayed, vetted and fiv/felv combo tested negative. Her unusual grey tortoise markings inspired her name.

Brady is STILL waiting???  Brady is about 18 months old, and spend most of his first year as a homeless street kitten. Brady has really blossomed into a fun, playful social cat while in foster in his first actual home. He waits outside the bedroom door in the morning, and when his foster mom comes out- Game On!. He tries to engage her in play in any way he can!  He loves to play, and would do best in a home with at least one playful cat. He is cat social and mixed energy (playful but not high energy). He has not been around dogss. Although not a lap cuddler, he does enjoy petting and like to hang out with his human. He is neutered, fiv combo test negative and up to date on shots. Brady's beginning was very hard - are you the one who will make sure his best days are yet to come?

PeeBee & Jay are about 4 months old and came to rescue less than one month old. They were saved by a good Samaritan who found them on a construction site in Troy after their sibling was accidentally run over on the site. They are very friendly, cat social, high energy kittens. They are both vetted and up to date on shots. Peebee (in left pic) is spayed and is fiv/felv combo test negative. Jay is neutered (in right pic) and has tested fiv positive, felv negative. They are currently in foster in the Capital District. While fiv can be transmitted to other cats (generally via a very deep bite wound), the risk is relatively low and a cat with fiv can have a long, full, happy, healthy life.

Lily is a young female, rescued after being dumped with her kittens in a rural part of Rensselaer county. She is shy but affectionate once she feels safe; she is cat social, spayed, utd on shots, fiv/felv combo test negative. She would do best in a quiet home.

THEODORE WAS ADOPTED WITH HIS SISTER ELEANOR!!!  Theodore (left) and Franklin (right), were found at three weeks old abandoned in a wood pile in Saratoga county. Franklin can be adopted but he has not yet been vetted as he is too small for neutering yet. Theodore is orange and white. Eleanor is a sweet calico female. Both she and Theodore are spayed/ neutered, current in shots, fiv/ felv combo test negative. They are friendly and affectionate and cat social.

ELEANOR WAS ADOPTED WITH HER BROTHER THEODORE!! Eleanor along with her brothers Theodore and Franklin, were found at three weeks old abandoned in a wood pile in Saratoga county. Franklin is is too small for neutering yet. Eleanor is a sweet calico female. Both she and Theodore are spayed/ neutered, current in shots, fiv/ felv combo test negative. They are friendly and affectionate and cat social.
