Listed below are a few of our special needs cats that are in need of loving homes. We have many more cats in this category that are not yet on line. They may be FIV+, deaf, or have other conditions that make them "special." These wonderful cats are seeking "special" humans to provide them with a loving and caring home. If interested in adopting any of the following or finding out more about other special cats, please contact us. Most of our special needs adopters comment that is one of the most rewarding experiences they have had. For more information, please visit http://www.v63.net/fivcats/pages/faq.html
Blotch has a neurological condition that leaves him "wobbly." He often falls over and walks funny especially when he runs. His head shakes when he tries to concentrate. He is not good with stairs, but otherwise gets along well. Blotch does not know he is handicapped. He loves to play with the other kittens, climbs well, and runs to greet his people, often sprawling over to get his tummy rubbed. His disability is permanent, but probably not progressive, and cats like him live full and happy lives with just a little extra attention from their humans. He has no health problems, and his spastic movements may improve somewhat as he grows and learns how to control his muscles better.

Deedee is a very, very sweet and affectionate female cat. She adores everyone and has no issues with people or other animals. She is very laid-back and a wonderful lap cat. She has tested positive for FIV, but please do not let that keep you from considering her as a loving addition to your family. She is very healthy and can live a very long life with FIV. She loves people and has no problem with other cats. She has the most wonderful personality and she hopes that someone will find her so lovely they will want to take her home.

HP is a very sweet and loving cat who gets along well with kids, cats, and dogs. He is quite playful and active and loves to play wrestle with his foster friends. He loves to be held, petted, brushed, and cuddled. HP had surgery to correct a heart condition called "Large Patent Ductus Arteriosus." The surgery closed the ductus arteriosus so that he can live a normal healthy life. HP takes 1/2 pill a day and is very healthy and happy. He is a wonderful little boy with lots of personality. He adores people and is now ready for a permanent home. HP will make a wonderful companion to your resident cat and a wonderful friend for life.
Joseph is a very sweet, affectionate, playful little boy. He was rescued with an eye infection that was not treated early enough. As a result, he is now blind. We took him to an opthamologist and learned that when he gets settled and relaxed, his third eyelid relaxes and he can see shadows. He has no problem finding his way around and using the litter box. He is a very sweet little boy who loves to be held and cuddled. He loves other kitties and hopes to find a home with a loving family. Joseph has had a very bad beginning, but we have promised him a wonderful home where he will be loved and cared for. Joseph will make a wonderful companion and friend.
Roger is a big mellow, laid back boy who will hang out in a comfy lap for hours, but is also fine on his own. He gets along well with cat-friendly dogs and other cats, but prefers a relatively quiet environment. Hes got a very sweet disposition and would make a wonderful pet in a home without small children. Roger has a condition called "hypertorphic obsturctive cardiomyopathy" and will need to be on daily medication. This is an inexpensive medication, and if you are interested in learning more about this condition, please contact us. We would be happy to talk to you.
Storm was abandoned by his owners and left outside. He is very sweet, gentle, and nonaggressive. Because he is so sweet, he had a rough time outdoors with other cats. Unfortunately, when we rescued him he tested positive for FIV. However, he is very healthy and hopes that someone will want to adopt him regardless of this label he now has to wear. Being FIV+ is not necessarily a bad thing--many cats live very long lives with FIV when they receive lots of love. Storm will make a wonderful feline companion.
