Urgent! Home/situation needed for bonded pair of declawed cats

June 6, 2007

I am posting this for a friend of mine who has a small cat rescue group in San Francisco. If you are interested in these cats, if you need more information, or if you can offer any advice re possibilities for these two wonderful cats, please contact Anne directly - 415-350-3741 (Cell), theurbancat, or check the website where pictures of the cats are posted, http://www.theurbancatproject.org/ NOTE: Lifelong medical care will be provided by The Urban Cat Project (they are in excellent health and have no medical problems at all at this time.)From Anne @ The Urban Cat Project

Two declawed cats, Pixie and Piper, mother and son, need a home soon where they can slowly be socialized, or allowed to live together in peace. These two cats were rescued from Animal Control last year after they were surrendered because their "guardian" got a new boyfriend who was allergic to cats. They are painfully shy of humans, but love each other and do have a good quality of life together. They play with each other a lot, groom each other and sleep in a ball. They were adopted several months ago to a woman who is now returning them because they are too shy, not what she wanted from new cats.

They are beautiful cats: Pixie is a solid orange tabby and Piper is white with orange tabby sploches. They are 8 and 7 years old, in excellent health, and never aggressive, only very shy. There are few options for these cats, as most people are not looking for shy cats. It should be noted that the third cat rescued from this home was adopted and is doing well as an only cat. I have thought about separating Pixie and Piper now, but Piper, the son, could not survive without his mother.

I have looked into sanctuaries for them, but no one can take declawed cats, and they are not outdoor animals.

Even though these cats are very shy, especially Piper, they DID bond with me while I was fostering them They either need a lot of socializing, or someone who is very patient and willing to love them from afar while they get used to a new person. Lifelong medical care will be provided by The Urban Cat Project (no medical problems at all at this time.)

Any help or advice, especially regarding possible sanctuaries, would be greatly appreciated, as their options are very limited. Thank you!!

Sincerely,

Anne
