Rita was abandoned inside a large cardboard box in front of a Petco store - along with five other cats.  All the cats in the box were in good condition and do not behave like they were neglected. 

Rita is young – only about 1 ½ to 2 years old.  Rita has a deformed front left leg that was likely a birth defect.  Our vet says that she is missing a bone in her lower leg, and has an extra one up by her shoulder.  Her leg doesn’t cause her any pain – or slow her down! 

Rita is very good with other cats and rabbits and isn’t afraid of friendly dogs.  She is a very gentle and sweet cat but she does take some time to adjust to change.  She would be best in a home with another cat or cats that will let her hang out with them.  

Rita is up to date with her rabies and distemper shots, is spayed, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. 

Dominique is a one very handsome and lucky boy!  Thinking he was feral, Dom was trapped in a 4Paws volunteer's back yard.  Once inside, we realized that he was not feral at all.  The best we can determine is that Dom started out as a pet and then ended up outdoors having to take care of himself.

Because Dom had to fend for himself, he can be little rough around the edges when playing.   He is so happy to get attention that he sometimes gets over overexcited and roughhouses just like a little boy.  He loves company, running to greet me and rubbing my ankles when I come into the room.  I sit down and pat my lap and he jumps right up for a long kiss and cuddle.  Dom also loves to be sung to softly, even by people who cannot carry a tune. 
During his travels, Dom learned to be leery of strangers.  Consequently, he will need a little time to adapt to his new home.  Dom LOVES to play chase with his cat toys.  He is a dominate cat, so any other cat would have to accept his bossy authority. 

Dom has tested negative for FELV/FIV, is neutered, and is current on his distemper and rabies vaccines. His age is approximately 4 years old.
