1. Stephie
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 15 mi from Fort Dix



Stephie is such a unique looking young cat.. Stephie is now two-years old. She developed a nervous habit of over grooming and sometimes requires steroid shots to help decrease the overgrooming. This began when Stephie went to a foster home where there was a dog. The dog never aggressed towards Stephie, but just the same she became very distressed and started over grooming. We are hoping that a calm home without dogs will help her to feel more secure. Stephie also added a daily med to her routine, to help her woth anxiety, and that has helped woth decreasing overgrooming. Stephie loves to lay next to you on a sofa. She gets along with other cats. Stephie is also available for our long-term Foster program also, due to her special needs.

3. Creamy
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Fort Dix



Creamy is a delightful young kitty who faced big challenges when a kitten. She was found on the porch of a hoarder home, with a bad case of entropian of her eyelids. She also had a URI. Creamy was treated for the URI successfully but she was too small to have surgery for the eyelids. Once she gained weight and was over three pounds she was scheduled for the eyelids surgery and spay surgery together. All went well with the surgeries but several hours afterwards she had a neurological episode and temporarily lost control of her limbs.Creamy had to relearn how to stand, to walk, and to climb. She was determined to be a happy kitten though and after several months she was doing all three.

Creamy was left with CH like symptoms though, so she wobbles when she walks and doesn't have the ability to coordinate her limbs enough to climb into a litter box. Creamy faithfully goes on puppy pads place in front of the litter box though. Creamy has a happy little chirp and loves to wobble run. She gets aling with other cats and is now hoping to find a forever home.

Adopting a cat in Fort Dix
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.
