2. Nickel

Senior · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed

Hi! My name is Nickel, because when I came to the shelter they found a nickel in my carrier! I am a sweet boy who was living outdoors and a kind person cared for me for many months and then brought me here to find my forever home. One of my ears looks a bit crumpled but is perfectly healthy and makes me look even more adorable! I am a bit shy, but with patience, time and treats, I will soon be your best friend! I am on a special diet to prevent GI issues and I am also positive for FIV, and the staff can give you more information about that. I get along well with other cats and can live with cats who do not have FIV as long as they also get along with others.

3. Oakie the Acorn

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed

Hi! My name is Oakie the Acorn! I am a sweet, gentle, cat who loves to cuddle with other cats. I was brought to MHAA after being found as a stray with a visible "wobble". I am believed to have been hit by a car during my difficult outdoor life. This left permanent spinal trauma which causes me to be uncoordinated. I am not in any discomfort though and get along very well with my disability! I am a little shy but enjoy attention and petting, and sometimes I like to play with wand toys. I am looking for a calm home with other friendly cats. I have also tested positive for FIV, which the team at the shelter can tell you more about, and can live with cats who do not have FIV as long as they also get along with others.

Adopting a cat in Dutchess 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.
