MORE HAPPY TAILS!



ADOPTED!  
ADOPTED!   Purdy
Purdy is a wonderful cat. Sadly, he has F.I.V. He needs to be placed in a quiet home without children. Purdy is very affectionate and likes petting: he doesn't particularly like to be picked up though. He is also quite the lover on his terms and purrs a lot.
ADOPTED!   Stevie
Stevie (The Wonder Cat) is a male DMH Tuxedo Approx. 1-2 years old. FIV POSITIVE Stevie is a wonderful, loving cat who just loves to play. He is FIV positive, so he really should be in a home with other FIV positive cats, or by himself. He gets along great with his present roommate, Purdy. Purdy is also FIV positive. FIV positive cats can live long, normal lives. An annual check-up would be advised to make sure he stays as healthy as possible. Stevie came to SFOF with a severely damaged eye. A wonderful vet in our community volunteered to fix Stevie's eye at no cost to SFOF. What a blessing for Stevie! And thank you Mr. Wonderful Vet!
ADOPTED!   I'm Honeybun!
Hi! I'm Honeybun and I'm a very sweet cat - very mellow and friendly. I like to be held and petted. I have come a long way from the straggly, flea-ridden mess I was when I arrived at the center. I am a favorite with the volunteers, and everyone loves me!
ADOPTED!   Riley
SPECIAL NEEDS Riley is FIV positive. He is an awesome little guy & very loving. FIV is not transferable to humans! The primary mode of transmission is through bite wounds. Casual, non-aggressive contact does not spread FIV -- as a result, cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk for acquiring FIV infections. To meet this kitty please call 503 930-4143.
ADOPTED!   I'm Zwei!
Hi! I'm Zwei! Not only am I long timer but I need a bit of special care too. My eyes get red and I need eyedrops but it's really not a big deal. I am a normal cat and I love to play, especially with your feet under the covers at night. I also find great entertainment watching you scoop out my litter box. I am very mellow and friendly and I like to purr a lot! I am used to cats, dogs, and children so I will be a wonderful family member.


ADOPTED!   I'm Liza!
Hi! I'm Liza and I'm super affectionate and friendly. I prefer a quiet home and I don't much like dogs. But I love to be held and I'm a great and loving companion!





ADOPTED!   look into my eyes...
I'm Grace, and I'm 2 years old. I'm very affectionate and have striking coat colors. I think I'm the best catch here (shhh don't tell the others!). Why not come on in and visit, I promise to steal your heart. Please??
ADOPTED!   Prince Charming is a Silver Tabby/Siamese Mix of approximately 2-3 years old. He is a really gorgeous cat with the most beautiful blue eyes you will ever see. He is very shy, and is somewhat unfriendly when he first meets people. The family adopting Prince Charming must take things slowly. It would be best to let him start out in a room of his own, until he feels safe and secure. The "Prince" gets along ok with other cats, however he does not like other dogs. Prince Charming is in a foster home right now. If you would like to meet him, please call Susan Moore at 503-990-8122.
ADOPTED!  

Snaps has had a hard life. His mom went into a nursing home, and he was given to someone who did not care for him. They said he was mean (which he isn't) and denied him medical care for a broken leg and several large abscesses. A neighbor took pity on him and got him fixed up, only to find that he tested positive for FIV. Snapper loves to sleep on your lap for as long as you want to watch TV. He is affectionate and kind. He gets along with all other cats. Snapper is about 8 to 10 years old.

ADOPTED (Thank you, Jill ; and for Widget too!)   Peter and Charlie lost their home. They are both feral boys who are looking for a new barn to call home. If you have room in your heart they would love to keep your barn mouse-free. They do need to be fed regular food as well as have shelter and medical care when needed. So if you would like one or two gorgeous young black cats (black cats are good luck in most countries) please call. They would really appreciate getting out of their confinement and living wild and free once again.
ADOPTED    Sam is a wonderful cat. He is very mellow and loving. He is absolutely gorgeous with big blue eyes that you just cannot resist. Because Sam has tested positive for feline leukemia, he needs to find a home with very special people where he can be the only cat. Or … alternatively he could live in a home with other leukemia positive cats. Sam is approximately 2 to 3 years old.Sam needs to find a home soon, because he cannot stay where he is now.

ADOPTED!    Effie is a gorgeous gray & white 7 year old with long hair. She is a very sweet, mellow cat. She loves people and loves to be petted, or just be near you. She has a gorgeous coat of soft silky fine hair. Effie’s previous companion had to go into a nursing home, so Effie is now without her companion, and the home she lived in for seven years. She would be great in a quiet home, as that is what she is used to. Effie has tested negative for feline aids and leukemia. She has been treated for fleas and worms and she has been spayed and microchipped.
ADOPTED    Hi! My name is Alabama! Don't I looked spoiled? My forever family found me in April and I'm just about as happy as a cat can be. I live in Portland now, and am hoping to someday have a big sister or brother. My family says they will get me one from Salem Friends of Felines!
ADOPTED    Sabrina's story is very sad. This sweet and loving ten year old cat was left outside to defend herself. Sabina is declawed with no way to protect herself against the neighborhood cats. With no medical care, her left eye became badly damaged and infected, to the point that when she was found, there was no hope to save the eye. She also has the worse case of ear mites, which has damaged her hearing -- forever.

Sabrina was also in serious need of major dental work including some extractions of teeth that are not able to be saved. Sabrina is a wonderful, very loving senior cat. She loves to just sit quietly next to someone. She would make a wonderful companion to just about anyone - especially a senior citizen, or someone wanting a quiet, sweet companion. Everyone who meets her comes to love her.
ADOPTED    I'm Alexander & I am a young-at-heart kind of guy, lovely fawn colors over gray, and I just need a home with special people who will care for me for the rest of my life... my earlier life was a nightmare, and I can't bear to think about it anymore. Because of this past existence, I am not able to share my human with other kitties... it's a long story..... One volunteer calls me "Alexander the Great." I just long to own a human the way Alexander the Great owned the world. Come and visit me, maybe fall in love. Alexander has been declawed neutered, tested negative for feline aids and leukemia, is microchipped, current on vaccinations including the leukemia vaccination and has been treated for worms and fleas.
ADOPTED    Our names are Abby, Ali and Andy! The humans call us the Three Amigos. We were dumped out in the cold in a box, and left at a bus stop. How rude!! Thankfully we were found by a caring individual and had the great fortune to find a wonderful foster mom. We are looking for homes of our own so won't you please call and set up a date to meet us?
ADOPTED    Hello! We are Chad & Corbin. We stuck together like glue to stay warm in a nasty old car junkyard. I don't know why we were dumped there, we don't know how to drive, we aren't old enough yet. Please don't split us up, we want to stay together and don't we make great little matching bookends? Bet you can't tell us apart! If you want to try, please call.
ADOPTED    Hi! My name is Tessa. I'm a cheerful little lady despite what I've gone through in my short life. I had a broken leg, and my people didn't care. As a result my leg started to heal on its own in the wrong position. One day an angel came before me, at least I think she must have been an angel. She said you are coming with me now. Next thing I knew I was waking up in the hospital. They told me they put pins in my leg to get it to heal in the right position. I guess so far so good, they took the pins out already! I'm waiting in a foster home now. My foster mom says she's gonna be real picky about who gets me. If you are real picky too, maybe you can be my new parents. Thank you.
ADOPTED    Please don't look away. Yes, I've only got three legs but I'm still a cat. And I still love humans even though the last people who called themselves my caretakers, thought I should just stay under a bush and die. I still love life. I am generous with my affection and purrs. I enjoy being invited to sit on your lap or on your chest while you sleep. Please be kind to me and love me forever, and I will do the same. I promise. Please come see me at 980 Commercial St. or call Jeanie. Thank you, Saint Luke.
ADOPTED    Hi, my name is Triton. Do you have a minute so I can tell you my story? I somehow got lost because I couldn't see, I was not feeling well and my eyes started to hurt and water and then get full of gook. I was very hungry and very thristy too. I didn't know where I was so I just sat against the curb. I didn't know I was sitting in the road until some wonderful angel stopped and scooped me up. I am now feeling a little better, but they say I might not see again, or see very well. So I hope someone will love me anyway and keep me inside from now on. Do you want to give me a chance? Thank you, Triton.
UPDATE:  
Look at me now! I'm chillin' in my new home, bet you don't recognize me, neither do I! I also have a new name - Rocky!

ADOPTED   
Please love us forever We were dumped along the side of busy Doaks Ferry Road. We are alive today thanks to a very caring couple who took the time to catch us and bring us to SFOF. We were all anemic and flea covered and struggling for life. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our loving foster families, 7 of the 9 of us survived. Thank you to all the dedicated volunteers who saved our lives!
ADOPTED   I don't know why they call me Popeye, because I don't like spinach - yuk! Well, life at the shelter is OK and I guess if you have to be at a shelter well this one is a good one to be at especially for a black kitty. Did you know that no one looks at us black kitties? I thought we were very elegant looking and mysterious. For sure we have extra personality. I wish I lived in England because I read on the internet that over there, and in most countries, us black kitties are considered good luck. Here, people have this crazy idea about us being bad luck. I don't know why. I think I'm a good luck charm. After all I must have had good luck to wind up here at a no-kill shelter where the color of my fur didn't determine my time here on earth. Still, as nice as it is here, I sure would love a home of my very own. I'm just a few months old, and growing up a kitten in a shelter is sort of lonely. I wish I had some kids who would play with me and toss catnipmice to me, or let me chase a string... sigh... I'm still waiting here for that day to happen. Please come visit me at 980 Commercial Street SE. Thank you for coming to see me, and adopting me!
