I wanted to thanks Mr. and Mrs. Groninga of West Valley Wuzzles in Phoenix, AZ for showing us around their shelter and intruducing us to their wonderful gang of fuzzies. They have some adorable adoptees that are in need of home. We really would have liked to bring Snowball, an albino, back with us:) For those of you in Oklahoma City that have a place in your hearts for cats as well as ferrets, I have a plea for you. In November, a cat showed up in my parent's garage in a very pitiful state. She had been beaten and starved. She was so malnourished that she had lost most of her fur. She is missing a good number of teeth. My mother said that she just held her and cried when she found her. Mom nursed her for several weeks, and she was in fairly good condition when I visited. She has grown back most of her fur, and is gaining weight. She still has some digestive problems as a result of long--term starvation, but they are dissapating. She is a calico, and very loving. She loves to have her belly rubbed. She has a birth defect that left her with only two toes on her front right paw. My parents have dubbed her "Two-toes" or just "Toes." The vet as given her a clean bill of health given the circumstances. She tested free of FIV and Feline Leukemia. She has had her shots, but is not to be spayed until she has had more time to recover. My parents can't keep her, because they already have four cats, a dog, a cockatiel, etc... They would like to, however, as she is a sweet cat. She does not like small places, will not use a covered cat-box, and prefers to stay on the back of a couch where she feels safe. She is rather timid. Since she stays to herself and up high, I think she would do well in a ferret-family. She would need to be indoors most of the time. If anyone is interested in her, please contact me and I will put you in touch with my mother. They live near Moore, OK, but still within OKC limits. Thank you for your time...
