4. Marleigh
Young (4 months 22 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 38 mi from Kenner



Marleigh female 15 weeks
This girl needs a special home. She came in having severe seizures that were treated due to an underlined condition. She is healthy and ready to go, no more seizures, but there was a little brain damage from them so she’s just a bit slow. She acts like a normal cat, but very, very mild temperament and has no issues eating drinking using the litter box. She just doesn’t play and have the hyper activity that are normal kitten wood. I actually think she has some peripheral vision loss.
She has been spayed, combo tested for feline leukemia/feline aids, up to date on vaccinations, wormed and flea treated.

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 69 mi from Kenner




Meet Emmy — affectionately known around the rescue as “Mustache Momma.” This beautiful 7-year-old girl was found as a stray and spent quite a while learning how to trust people again. Because she was so shy at first, Emmy stayed in the rescue president’s home where she slowly blossomed into the loving, attention-seeking queen she is today. While her original name was Mustache Momma, “Emmy” ended up fitting her sweet and sophisticated personality perfectly.Once Emmy comes out of her shell, she becomes the center of attention — literally. If someone else is getting petted nearby, Emmy fully believes that affection should belong to her instead.

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
