2. Picasso

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

Meet Picasso (FeLV+)

This handsome black-and-white tuxedo boy is as affectionate as he is adorable! Picasso is a sweet lump of love who is ready to find his forever home. With his charming tuxedo markings and the most adorable crossed eyes, Picasso is sure to steal your heart. Estimated to be around 2–3 years old, he has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone special to give him the happy ending he deserves.

One of Picasso's very favorite things is playtime with his fellow FeLV+ friends, Van Gogh and Matisse. These 3 boys enjoy each other's company and would all love a home where they can feel safe, loved, and cherished.

Read more about Picasso

Picasso has tested positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV is a virus that affects a cat's immune system and can make them more susceptible to certain illnesses. Although there is currently no cure, many FeLV+ cats can enjoy a good quality of life with proper care, regular veterinary visits, and lots of love.

FeLV is spread primarily through close contact between cats, therefore Picasso should live with other FeLV+ cats or as the only cat in the home. He has not been around dogs to our knowledge, but he may do well with a cat-friendly pup if introductions are slow and appropriate.

If you're looking for a loving companion with a unique look and a heart of gold, Picasso may be your perfect match! Could you be the one to give this sweet boy his forever home?

Picasso and his FeLV+ friends Van Gogh and Matisse are playing with their foster family. Please ask about them!

Paris is especially fond of playing with the butterfly toy, pouncing like a pro on wand toys, and playing chase and cuddle tag with her sisters. But when playtime is over? She is more than happy to curl up on your lap and purr. Paris is friendly towards people and seeks attention with her quick purring. She gets along with other cats. Her limited interactions with dogs have been positive.

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

Guppy is a very affectionate, petite 5 month old female tuxedo kitten. When she sees you, she immediately rolls onto her back for a belly rub. Guppy loves to be picked up and will happily hang out in your arms, purring continuously.

Guppy enjoys playing with her 4 litter mates (who will be ready for adoption soon). She keeps herself very tidy and is often seen cleaning her siblings too. She enjoys playing with any kind of toy, or turning something into a toy.

Read more about Guppy

Guppy is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and litter box trained. She was born with an eye condition, and needs eye lubricant (available at pet stores) applied once daily. Luckily, Guppy is very good about this which only takes a few seconds per day, and it doesn't appear to impact her vision.

Since she has always lived with her litter mates, Guppy needs to be adopted with another kitten or young cat to play with. She gets along with children of all ages and other cats. Although she has not met a dog yet, she would likely do fine with a proper introduction.

Guppy is a sweet kitten looking for that very special person or family to call her own. How about you?

Purina Pro Plan Turkey & Rice
Purina Pro Plan White Meat Chicken & Vegetables

Water is mixed into their wet food, as both cats tend to prefer moisture from their meals. They prefer still water but will also drink from a fountain.
They are free-fed Royal Canin Appetite Control dry food. Tota self-regulates his intake well, while Amba benefits from occasional monitoring around food.
Litterbox Habits
Both cats have excellent litterbox habits and are comfortable using either pellet or traditional litter.
They have successfully used:

Purina Tidy Cats
Arm & Hammer Dust Free Litter

Grooming
As longhaired cats, both benefit from routine brushing.

Tota's coat mats easily, particularly around his underarms and hind legs, and requires frequent brushing and occasional trimming for comfort.
Amba's coat is lower maintenance and typically remains tangle-free with regular brushing.

Their nails are trimmed routinely, and they enjoy having scratching posts available for normal scratching and grooming behaviors.
Lifestyle
Tota and Amba are strictly indoor cats but have experience with supervised outdoor time while wearing a leash and harness. They enjoy spending time outdoors safely, though they are equally content watching birds, people, and wildlife from a sunny window.
Neither cat displays aggressive behavior and they do not bite, scratch, or hiss except in situations where they may be frightened or distressed.
Special Note About Amba
Amba has a harmless self-soothing behavior in which he mimics kitten nursing. He seeks out a trusted person, settles into a comfortable spot nearby, and relaxes while engaging in this behavior. It is simply a comforting habit and part of his unique personality.
Ideal Home
Tota and Amba are looking for a family that can provide companionship, enrichment, and continued opportunities to stay together. They are affectionate, social cats who enjoy being part of everyday life and will make wonderful companions for the right home.
Bonded pair - must be adopted together.

Cities and towns in Cecil County

Adopting a cat in Cecil County

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
