I am an amazing girl who has been bottle fed and coddled. I am loving and cuddly and enjoy sleeping on the bed.
Unfortunately, I am a product of a divorce. My owners had to return me to CATS after 2 1/2 yrs. The whole family was devastated as I am. I lived with two young boys and another cat named Sassy and a big lab. We were one big happy family for awhile. I’m really hoping to find that kind of loving home again, soon.

Mustang Sally

“Listen, you been runnin’ all over town – MEOW!” The lyrics to Mustang Sally are appropriate to our Mustang Sally. She is a sweet kitty who is ready to ride home with you!

Mustang Sally is a very sweet cat with a silly personality. She’s very active and playful. She loves to talk and will tell you about her day when you get home. Mustang Sally was rescued out of an over crowded shelter where she was on the list to be euthenized. We’ve given her second chance and now she needs someone to give her another chance.

Come see Mustang Sally and she will tell you how she can make you happy if you take her home You can meet her at the Natomas Marketplace Petsmart on the Weekends from 11am – 5pm. Adoption fee $90.

Cats About Town Society, Petsmart and numerous other rescues will be hosting a HUGE adoption event this weekend. September 10-12, at the Petsmart in Natomas (3641 Truxel Road, Sacramento). Hundreds of cats, kittens and yes, even dogs will be available for immediate adoption!

You will find our tents set up in the parking lot in front of Petsmart. C.A.T.S. anticipates 100+ adoptions at this event. If you have been thinking about getting a cat, kitten or even a puppy, come on by and see the hundreds of sweet, cuddly animals looking for permanent homes.

All our cats and kittens are litterbox trained, spayed or neutered, have up-to-date vaccinations, tested for FeLV and/or FIV, de-wormed, de-flea’d and in good health. All this comes with your cute, cuddly “package”! When compared to a found kitten, the cost for these services averages $401 at Sacramento vet hospitals. Our adoption fee is only $90! The kitties’ value = priceless!

Among all the cats that we save, there are many special ones. Sammy was a very special cat. Sammy was brought in by a distraught woman who found him wandering her neighborhood. He had been badly injured and had a huge open wound in the side of his neck. Even though he had to be in incredible pain, Sammy was very stoic and even purred when we gently examined his neck. The volunteers at C.A.T.S. had never seen anything quite so bad (we could see exposed neck muscles) and we were unsure about how to help him. Of course, it was past regular vet office hours, but we managed to roust a very grumpy vet from a nearby vet hospital. He rather flippantly told us that nature would heal the wound and we just needed to wash it out with a little water. When we asked if we should start him on antibiotics, he said “no need.” Hmmm- leave a 4 inch gash open and just clean it out with water? Sounded suspect, but he was the vet, right?

We figured we needed a second opinion, but at the time, C.A.T.S. had very little money to help out. Especially in Sammy’s case. You see, he tested positive for FeLV & FIV. It was a double whammy for Sammy. As a rescue, it didn’t make financial sense to spend a ton of money on vet bills for a cat who was positive for both diseases. How would we ever find a home for the guy (permanent or foster)? He couldn’t be with other healthy cats on the off chance that he could infect them with one/both of the diseases. Sammy’s outlook was pretty bleak. We called one of our volunteers who we knew had an FeLV positive cat. Would she possibly consider taking him in? Miranda came to see Sammy and fell instantly in love. She didn’t see a cat with two diseases. She saw a huge (17 pounds), beautiful boy who needed treatment, love and a safe home. Miranda and her husband gave Sammy all of that and more.

Sammy was treated by a vet who thoroughly cleaned out the wound, covered it and re-dressed it over the next couple weeks. He was given a long course of antibiotics and Sammy healed beautifully. (So much for “just clean it with water ““ no need for antibiotics”). C.A.T.S. was only able to help minimally with the medical bills. Miranda and her husband took care of the rest. A true act of love. And why would they do such a thing? Besides the fact that they are angels and incredibly compassionate people, it also had to do with Sammy himself. You see he inspired love, adoration and awe in everyone who met him. This was one BIG BOY. He topped the scales at 17 pounds, but looked like he could be closer to 30 pounds! He was a Siamese mix. Well, he had Siamese coloring and blue, blue eyes, but he had some lynx point stripes and did I mention that he was big? He loved to talk. He definitely had a lot to say. And he instantly fell in love with his playmate, Lovey. He was very protective of his “little” sister. The big boy and the petite girl were best of friends.

Sammy had a great life with his family. But it was a short one. He spent two wonderful years before his body just couldn’t hold on anymore. His medical issues became too numerous to list and his quality of life was greatly diminished by the tons of symptoms that kept cropping up. But through it all, he remained a lover. He loved life. He loved his family. He even loved the vets! And thanks to our very own Dr. Jill Roberts-Wilson, Sammy’s last days and moments were as comfortable as possible. Dr. Jill took special care of “her boyfriend” and adored Sammy as much as anyone else. I believe that Sammy cherished every minute of the extra time that he was given. And he evoked love from everyone he touched. Here’s to Sammy, the biggest, most beautiful Siamese boy I’ve ever known. Love you buddy!

You probably heard about a local couple that were arrested for animal cruelty last fall. They had 78 cats in their home, which was later condemned because of the deplorable conditions inside. One of the cats, a handsome young man named Nathan, is now available for adoption.

Nathan has been in a shelter since last October, and really wants and deserves to find his forever home. Nathan has a beautiful striped brown coat and the most amazing big green eyes. He has a grin that will win over your heart . And check out those wonderful big feet! Despite the horrors that he has experienced, he is a loving boy who has a lot to offer. Given his background, it is understandable that he can be a bit shy at first. Once he gets to know you though, you’ll see what a fun and silly personality he has.

Photos don’t do Nathan justice; he is even better looking in person (in cat?). You can meet Nathan at the Natomas Marketplace Petsmart, located at 3641 Truxel Road. T he CATS adoption center is there on weekends from 11am – 5pm. Special adoption fee for Nathan is $60. Nathan is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered
