Charlie, Colin and Lila need our help

Can you or someone you know give these cats a chance? Contact Mary Dow at catteam@animalrescue.net for more information, or forward this story to anyone who might be able to help.

We are looking for help with three cats. There are two 2 year old brothers. Charlie and Colin -Russian Blue, sweet and affectionate with people but a little shy at first. We also have their mom, Lila, who is black and prefers to be left alone. They had been living outside until their caregiver was evicted and we had to remove them from the property.

All tested negative for Felv/FIV a year ago but when we updated their healthwork recently Charlie tested positive for feline leukemia. The other brother, Colin, and the mother, Lila, are now vaccinated against the disease. [Read More]

Did You Know: When cats receive just a five-minute dose of attention and affection during their early domestic life, they will become significantly more attached to people.
