Kataleya

Meet Kataleya, a quirky, spunky little kitten who is just 6 months old. Kataleya has beautiful short, black hair and stunning gold-brown eyes. She was found as a tiny kitten on the side of a highway with her littermates...the only one alive.

Kataleya was lovingly cared for by the girl who found her; however, recently circumstances have changed, and the difficult decision was made to surrender Kataleya to our rescue.

Kataleya has a great personality! She is comical and playful and enjoys being around other cats. Bravado is her middle name! Even though she is a little bundle of excitement, she will walk up to a bigger cat  and tell them who's boss by growling. That's just for show though, and in a few minutes they are frolicking through the house together.

Kataleya's perfect home would be one with no children or older children over 10 years old. Kataleya is spayed, up to date on shots, combo tested, and microchipped. If you would like more information, please contact Lynn at GoodMews22@aol.com.

Grady

Meet Grady. Grady is one of my all-time favorite cats! He is 2 years old and a rather big guy -- one big couch potato and a bundle of love to boot!. Grady is a neutered cat and is a *FOSTER MOM FAVORITE*. He is a Turkish Van -- all white on his body except for a striped tabby tail and a tabby "cap" on his head. He is your typical Oscar Madison kinda cat...an easy going, laid-back, couch potato, and a big, old huggable kind of guy. He reminds me of Thomas O'Malley, the alley cat from the Aristocats movie...he just goes with the flow and isn't ruffled by anyone or anything.

It is thought that Grady somehow got lost from his home and must've wound up with a colony of cats, probably for companionship and to find food. He was found in Culpeper as a stray and has a tipped ear (which is when the neutering vet nips off the very tip of the ear off to signal that he has been neutered).

For as sweet as he is, Grady has had it rough. He was 1st adopted to a college student, who left for college months later and left her Dad to care for Grady. "Dad" didn't like cats and dumped  Grady at the shelter. You can imagine my shock when I walked into the shelter to find my poor, sweet Grady back in a cage!!! I immediately took him out of the cage and held him close. I got a little nuzzle on my cheek, as if to say thank you.

Grady came back home with me and fell in love with a female cat. They were inseparable and had to be adopted together. A lady adopted them both and w/in a few days, brought Grady's girlfriend back because she hid. She kept Grady a few months more, and just yesterday, my sweet Grady was brought back, too, no fault of his own.  Sadly, he missed his girlfriend by just 1 month - she was adopted out just a month ago.

He seems lost and confused as to why he is back at his foster home again. I am happy to see him. I love this guy! Grady is again blending in with my house and cats - just where he left off. He is such an easy-going guy. Who wouldn't love him?? We're going to hope that the 3rd time is the charm for this sweet boy.

Grady is up to date on all shots, and as you might expect, gets along with every creature. He is neutered, tested negative for feline leukemia, up to date on shots, and microchipped. If you could find room in your heart and your house for this big lug, please contact his foster mom, Lynn, at GoodMews22@aol.com.

Paul

Paul was a little guy when he was found as a stray on the streets of Culpeper at just 3 months old. He grew up in a loving foster home and is currently the ripe old age old 5 months. He is a beautiful buff color with light tabby stripes on his coat.

Paul is very shy and timid when you first meet him but he is a lovable kinda guy.  He loves affection and will often seek you out for it. He will sit on your lap and purr as you pet him. He is very sweet.

Paul's purrfect home would be a quiet home with no children or with children over the age of 10 years old. He gets along with other cats and cat friendly dogs.  Paul is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, combo tested, and microchipped.

 If you would like more information on Paul, please contact Lynn at

Henry

Meet Henry, a sweet friendly Siamese mix with blue eyes. Henry is part of a  feral colony happily living near Mt. Run Lake. Recently a coyote was spotted in the area and one of the older cats in the group has disappeared. The caretaker fears for Henry who is adoptable because of his sweet nature. He will need a period of socialization  prior to adoption--can you help?  Please contact us at lkcounts47@gmail.com or call #540-937-6171.

Andre'

Andre' - He is a 2 year old, neutered, Russian Blue (gray) male cat with a sweet disposition, albeit very timid. If you are looking to make a difference in someone's life, Andre' is your guy. Although he is a sweetheart, he needs work with socialization.

He came from a Culpeper neighborhood with his bestest friend, Olivia Sue (Olivia Sue passed away in late October)). They showed up in a nice lady's yard one day and she  fed them for about a year before contacting us when fox took over her yard. Andre' and Olivia Sue were absolute best friends. Now that Olivia has passed, Andre looks for her everywhere, apparently not realizing that she is gone.

He gets along with the other cats and doesn't seem to mind my 2 labs very much. He is a calm cat who enjoys affection and will often rub against your legs affectionately; however, he still seems frightened to be touched. That being said, Andre' has been living with my family and is very respectful of furniture, is good in the litter box, is mannerly, and is everything you would want a cat to be. He is just very shy. I believe that once he is in a quiet home of his own, with a kind and patient person, he would blossom.

The perfect home for Andre' would be a quiet home with no children. Andre' is up to date on shots, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and comes with a free wellness exam. For more information on Andre,' please contact Lynn at GoodMews22@aol.com. Andre' has been waiting for a home since October 2011, please don't forget about him.



Tisha & Sweet Baby James

Say hello to Tisha and her boyfriend, Sweet Baby. Tisha is a mostly white cat with patches of color on her head and tail, Sweet Baby (named for Sweet Baby James - James Taylor) is a brown tabby. Both are about 1 - 2 years old and both have quite a story to tell.
Tisha was found as a stray with her litter of kittens last spring in downtown Culpeper. They were taken to the shelter, and brought to a foster home. Sweet Baby was found as a young kitten with his brother, eating from the porch of his now foster mom. Long story short, his brother was caught and brought into the foster home first, but Sweet Baby did everything to stay near his brother without actually being caught.
He began to cry loudly on the porch for his brother every night. He slept in the heated dog carrier and on the patio furniture on the porch, and  would even put his paw inside the window and touch his foster mom's hand, but wouldn't come inside. Finally, after many months, he finally allowed himself to be caught and was rejoined with his brother. Oh happy days! His first night, he was placed in a condo (to get used to human touch) in the room his brother was in. I woke up to find that somehow his brother had unlocked the condo and freed him and they were sleeping, all curled up together, side by side. Together again at last!
Sweet Baby and his brother lived with their foster mom for over a year. Sadly, his brother died suddenly from an aggressive lung infection last summer. Sweet Baby was lost without him. Tisha had come just a few weeks earlier and was adjusting to her foster home.
Throughout the months, they moved to different rooms in the house together, but it wasn't until last September when Cupid's arrow struck their hearts. Now they are inseparable. They eat and sleep together and groom each other. As you can see from the pictures, they now sit atop the "crow's nest"  in the climber and watch the world together.
Both cats are similar in personality. Both cats are healthy. They are respectful of furniture, great in the litter box, but will not allow themselves to be touched or pet. They just like to live happily without human contact. Kinda crazy, but it works for them. That's not to say that the right person in a quiet home can't get them to blossom...they probably can. At one point, Tisha allowed herself to be petted on a regular basis, but when her foster mom went back to work, she became 'aloof' again. They must be indoor only cats.

These two sweetie pies will need a special person to love them. Someone who is patient and will allow them to flourish in their new home. Both Tisha and Sweet Baby are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, combo tested, and microchipped. For more information on these little lovebirds, please contact Lynn at GoodMews22@aol.com or call #540-937-6171.
