Meet Clementine and Mufassa! They are approximately 3 years old and ready for their forever home. Don't let their grumpy faces fool you.. These guys are marshmallows once they warm up to you. Mufassa is friendly, affectionate and brave, although he does not like being picked up. Clementine is much shyer, and will need to be given time and space to warm up to new people. She does let her foster mom pet her, however. Clementine needs to be on urinary care food, but otherwise, neither kitty has health issues. These sweet souls are incredibly bonded, and we are seeking a home that will let these sweethearts stay together forever. Mufassa and Clementine enjoy cuddling on soft blankets and playing with as many toys as they can get their paws on. Clementine plays mostly at night currently but may become more playful during the day as she adjusts to a new home. Both cats are okay with dogs, as long as they do not chase. Mufassa plays with other cats and Clementine tolerates them; they would do well in a home with a gentle, adult cat who could "show them the ropes". Mufassa and Clementine have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $200. If you have room in your heart and your home for these sweet lovebirds, please contact us here, email us at heartstohomesfelines@gmail.com or call/text Pat at 226-388-1256.

Meet Maggie! Maggie is approximately 2 years old and is searching for a "forever home" to call her own. Maggie started her life as a barn cat. Over time, she built trust with the kind people feeding her, and began asking to come inside. She has been indoors now for a few months and has adjusted to indoor life beautifully. She is grateful to have a warm, safe place to sleep and lots of people around to give her affection! Maggie likes to be picked up and pet, and lets you know how grateful she is for attention by purring up a storm anytime you get near her! She is a very gentle cat, and the other animals in her foster home cause her stress. Because of this, Maggie would do best as the only pet in her home. She is untested with children but should be fine with gentle children who understand not to scare her. Maggie has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $100. If you have room in your heart and your home for this sweet girl, please contact us here, email us at heartstohomesfelines@gmail.com or call/text Pat at 226 388 1256.

This little girl came into rescue with her two pregnant sisters earlier this year. We don't have any history on her, but find that she is aloof and prefers attention on her terms. She will not allow you to pick her up, but will rub against you for attention, and will snuggle in bed, or while you are watching TV. She is always purring and she loves to give kisses and sometimes will share a little love bite! If you are looking for an independent kitty who is not high maintenance, Trixie is your girl! She is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She's also been treated for fleas and is dewormed. Her adoption fee is $160 and an application to adopt her can be found at www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com.

Liam is trouble, but a lovebug, always reaching out to touch his fosters! He is always trying to figure out a way to scoot out the door from his room to go exploring. As soon as you catch up to him his motor starts and he waits for his kisses. He is as healthy as can be and weighs 1.4 kilo's! Liam and his siblings are super sweet kitties and are 6 months old, big, healthy and happy and looking for a special forever home. They have tested positive for FIV. The most common way cats get the disease is through bite wounds from an infected cat, but in this case, their momma was positive and passed it to them. Thus, they need to be the only kitty in the home, or in the home with another FIV positive kitty. FIV infection is for life, but many cats with FIV can live a happy, healthy life for many years. FIV positive cats must be kept indoors only, have good nutrition, be provided with low stress environments and need yearly vet visits. They are vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated and will be spayed/neutered at 6 months and is included in their $160 adoption fee. An adoption application can be found at www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. MORE INFORMATION ON FIV! Who wouldn’t take a big, friendly, gorgeous and sweet FIV-positive cat home? Not everyone is aware of what FIV really means, and it is important to learn the facts and not the myths that confuse and scare people away from adopting an FIV cat. FIV-positive cats are very adoptable, and can live the same lifespan as an FIV-negative cat. Is your family at risk if you adopt an FIV-positive cat? The answer is no, FIV is contractible by cats alone. Being FIV-positive means that the cat has antibodies that have been exposed to the virus, although it can take years, if ever, before the cat develops any FIV infection and clinical signs. One of the most damaging myths about FIV-Positive cats is that saliva can transfer the virus and therefore sharing the same water and food bowls and licking each other can cause the virus to pass from cat to cat. This is not true – “FIV is mainly passed from cat to cat though deep bite wounds, the kind that usually occur outdoors during aggressive fights and territorial disputes, another reason to keep your cat inside”. It can also be transmitted accidentally through rough play. FIV cats should be adopted to a home with no other cats or another cat who is FIV positive. The virus is also transmitted through semen, which means a kitten can be infected before, at, or after birth, or from nursing from a mother with the virus. What are some symptoms that occur in a cat that has FIV? FIV reduces the cat’s immune system’s ability to respond to any infections due to the lower amount of white blood cells in the body. The best way to manage an FIV cat is to use preventative care so that the cat can be as strong as possible before any of these symptoms manifest, and if they do arise, symptomatic treatment is usually the course of action. Yearly vaccinations, a healthy diet and staying indoors to limit their exposure to potential illness, can extend an already long life. CONSIDER ADOPTING AN FIV POSITIVE CAT (OR 2)!

I am a great boy and super snuggly! I am pretty shy until I get comfortable but do love to be close to people and cuddle. I don’t mind dogs or other cats but may take a little bit of time to warm up to them. I’m very gentle even if I get scared. I would really like someone that enjoys a kitty that cuddles. I would be well suited for a quiet home as I can be nervous and timid. I am flea treated and dewormed, FIV/FELv tested, up to date on my vaccines, and have been neutered. An application to adopt me can be found at www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com and my adoption fee is $160.
