PETS FOR ADOPTION AT OTHER RESCUE GROUPS

POPPY and HARRY — ORANGE TABBY’S

Age: 7 years (Poppy) and 5 years (Harry)

Story: Poppy and Harry are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. When Poppy and Harry were rescued from a cat colony in Tucson, Poppy had dental issues and had a few teeth removed. Now, the vet says he is very healthy. Poppy is a gentle and handsome male. He had a scary life outside and is glad to be safe and well fed in a foster home. Although he is still very shy, Poppy gets along well with younger kitties and his brother, Harry. Poppy also loves being brushed and petted. The ideal family for Poppy is patient, cat-savvy and would be one who can adopt him and his brother, Harry, together. These two kitties are low-energy, shy and need a quiet home. Harry is Poppy’s brother. When rescued, Harry’s entire stomach and inside of his back legs were matted to the skin and Harry had to be shaved. Thorns had pierced his back legs and his wounds had to be stapled. He had complete bloodwork done and is healthy. He will be ready for a home by April 1 and is given preference to those who will adopt him with his brother, Poppy. Make arrangements to meet this shy guy by calling the office. He likes being petted but is still a little shy and nervous around people. Adoption qualifications required.

Fee: For the bonded pair, $30. COVID-19 adoption specials: all kittens 12 months or younger are now $40 and all other cats are $20. Includes microchip, neutering and current shots.

Contact: Paws Patrol, Green Valley, AZ. 520-207-4024. greenvalleypawspatrol.org.

Story: Jade is a beautiful calico. She was found in Patagonia and was very shy and scared of her new indoor surroundings. In her foster home, she is starting to blossom. She loves being petted and is beginning to feel comfortable sitting on her foster mom’s lap. It will take her awhile to completely adjust, but with a patient person and calm environment, she will be a great cat. And she is used to other cats, no dogs. (Jade is on the right, Ruby is on the left.) Adoption qualifications required.

RADISH —DSH

Age: 11 months

Story: Radish, like his namesake can be spicy but he also has a sweet side to him. One thing is for certain, he’s not for everybody. He will need someone special to see his great qualities and accept him and his quirks. He came to us from a small rural shelter and has spent time in his foster home learning how to be a cat. Radish can be a little spicy when he’s overstimulated and startled and because of this he will need an experienced adopter, someone who can help redirect his energy, exercise and play with him on a daily basis. Radish loves toys and perching at the very top of the cat tree, looking out the window. Food (wet, dry and treats) is the way to his heart. He also does well with other high-energy cats and dogs. He will do best in a home with no young kids.

Fee: $110, he is current on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.
