Our Special Needs cats and kittens often need daily medication or they have physical conditions that require special living
conditions. Many of these cats become lifetime residents because we can't find proper homes for them. Here are two of
our Special Needs feline friends looking for their own special forever homes.
Medication and/or special food will be provided to you if needed. We also require that Special Needs cats return to
us for regular check-ups.For more information about adopting a Special Needs cat, please contact our shelter at 492-6200.
Michael is a sweet gentle boy who has been with us for over a year. He has tested positive for FIV but has been healthy the entire
time he has been at our shelter. Michael is friendly and nonagressive who would love nothing more than to find a loving forever home
and be somebody's pet again. Michael would make a great addition to a family who already has an FIV+ cat or he would do very well
as the only cat in a household. Won't you grant his wish for a forever home?
Amigo is a sweet gentle boy was rescued from the10th Life Sanctuary when it was closed by Animal Services. He has tested positive
for FIV but has been healthy since he's been at our shelter. Amigo would give anything to experience a loving home once
again after all that he has endured. He would make a great companion for an FIV+ cat or as a pampered only cat.
Are you ready to show Amigo the joy of being a loved pet?
Become a Medical Angel
Many of the cats at St. Francis are “medically challenged.” Our resident
cats are aging, and along with that come the inevitable physical infirmities associated with elderly cats - renal failure, diabetes,
bowel issues and even cancer. Some of our younger residents also have medical issues which require regular medication or treatments. We even have ill or injured cats abandoned at our shelter by owners who cannot afford to pay for their pets’ medical care.
St. Francis is a no-kill rescue shelter. Euthanasia is only a treatment of last resort when a cat no longer has any quality
of life and pain can no longer be controlled. All of our cats are provided with whatever medical treatment is necessary to assure
them the opportunity to enjoy life for as long as possible.
Medication and treatments can be
very expensive. Please sponsor one of our medically needy cats by becoming one special cat’s MEDICAL ANGEL for a year. Your donation of $100 or more will help defray the cost of your chosen cat’s medical expenses. You will receive a photo of your
special cat along with regular updates from him/her throughout the year.
With your help, we can continue to ensure that all of our cats are given every opportunity to enjoy their lives to
the fullest.
