Alester
|
Alester was brought to Safe Haven when his owner died. He is about 13 years old and FIV positive. He does not like other cats, but is very friendly and loving with people. He has taken over his cat room and often waits at the glass door for anyone to enter. |
|
Auntie
|
AUNTIE was born in February, 1999 and has been at PFOA since November, 1999. She pretty much distrusts everyone, but occasionally watches TV with her foster Dad. She does sleep indoors, but hides out most of the time. |
|
Betty Sue
|
BETTY SUE was born in April, 2000 in a clutter of rubble at some abandoned buildings directly behind the Hi-Way 101 Diner in Sequim. She has been at PFOA since May, 2001. She is an absolutely gorgeous long haired gray, white and orange calico cat who is extremely shy and does not trust anyone due to the abuse and harassment she suffered during most of her early life. |
|
Bobbie Jo
|
Bobbie Jo was born in August, 2012. She is a black Manx. At this time, she has no bladder or bowel control. It is hoped that this issue will improve as she gets older. |
|
Cinder
|
CINDER is a muted tortoiseshell cat born in June, 2000. She has been at PFOA since November, 2002. She was brought to a foster home where she escaped from the quarantine area and spent the winter on her own. She was found as a stray the following spring and returned to PFOA. She has not tried to escape her permanent foster home, but years of trying to place her have led nowhere. |
|
Della
|
DELLA was the smallest of her three all-black littermates born in April, 2003 and has been at PFOA since June, 2003. She is an entertaining clown of a kitty with a loving personality. As a kitten she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and the prognosis was that she wouldn't see her third birthday. With medical treatment, she no longer has a heart problem, but she has been spoiled rotten because her caretakers thought she wouldn't have a very long life. She now gets up on everything and in anything. |
|
Ernest
|
ERNEST was born in November, 2004 and came to PFOA in May, 2007. He is a big, black and white tuxedo cat that appears to be completely healthy; however he has tested positive for FIV. While FIV is not transmittable to humans, it can be passed to other cats through blood, semen or saliva. Not all cats with FIV develop problems; there is a good chance that Ernie will live a long, healthy life despite his medical condition. Ernie was originally a stray, but he's extremely friendly and happy. He prefers to stay indoors and likes to sleep with his foster parents. |
|
Fagin
|
FAGIN was born in April, 2003 and has been at Safe Haven since July, 2003. He is a green-eyed, short-haired black male who can best be described as a "big lug" full of love. He "head butts" and leans into his human and feline friends to show his affection. He likes brushing and belly rubs on occasion, too. Fagin is currently under dietary restriction in an attempt to lose some excess weight. He is part of a package deal with his brother Thistle as these two are firmly bonded. |
|
Hope
|
HOPE is our "poster cat" for our Hope Fund for Disabled Animals. She was born in May, 2004. Hope was roughly thrown as a kitten leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. When PFOA rescued her in July, 2004, she had been put in a cardboard box with no food or water and left for several days to lie in her own excrement. Although some wanted to euthanize her, PFOA believed she could be saved. A wheeled mechanism was created that allows her to pull herself around by her front legs and wheels support the back half of her body. It's been a long hard struggle, but Hope now can get around the house and has a good, enjoyable life which she spends with her foster parents and a paraplegic dog. Her recovery has been miraculous and she continues to amaze all who know her. She has adapted well to her disability and has even caught a mouse! The medical attention and special day to day care she needs and receives are very expensive, but her sweet personality and fortitude make it all worthwhile. |
|
Jamie
|
JAMIE and his brother, Johnny, were born in September, 2002 in a woodpile and brought to PFOA by concerned neighbors in January, 2003. Jamie is a gray/black/white tabby and painfully shy and quite afraid of humans. Both Jamie and Johnny can be petted on occasion, but it's definitely their decision. |
|
Jefferson
|
JEFFERSON was born in May, 2003 and came to PFOA in July, 2004. He developed very serious health problems which make him adoption challenged. He is living in a room with other older cats at Safe Haven, being spoiled rotten by everyone and enjoying what sunshine he can find. |
|
Jim
|
JIM was born outside, under a trailer in May, 2001. He is a long haired black and white cat. He is painfully shy, making it difficult for potential adopters to get close enough to know him. He has been at PFOA since June, 2001. |
|
Johnny
|
JOHNNY was born feral in September, 2002 and has lived in a PFOA foster home for several years. He and his brother Jamie have been at PFOA since January, 2003. |
|
Lil Bear
|
Lil Bear is about 2 years old and has FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) so he cannot be around other cats. He is living at Barker House where he has his own room with an outside enclosure that he enjoys. |
|
Maggie
|
MAGGIE was born in April, 2000 and is semi-feral. She is a very sweet Maine Coon mix and is a shy, gentle giant. |
|
Marcus
|
MARCUS was born in May, 2001 and came to PFOA in July, 2011 because his owner could no longer care for him. He is a beautiful and sweet long-haired tabby. However, he is diabetic and requires insulin shots. |
|
Martha
|
MARTHA was born in May, 2001 and came to PFOA in February, 2002. She loves attention and "talks" to the volunteers who regularly visit her. She would make a wonderful companion, but has not been adopted. |
|
Molly Malone
|
MOLLY MALONE was born in May, 2003 and came to PFOA in July, 2003. She needs a quiet home to live in since all her siblings died of FIP and stress could initiate the disease in her. She's healthy now, though, and a real sweetheart — all 18 pounds of her! |
|
Monique
|
MONIQUE was born in May, 2007 and came to PFOA in June, 2010. She is a lovely, long-haired gray mom cat who was quite feral when she had a litter of kittens in a ravine. The kittens have all been placed, but Monique remains shy and nervous around people. She is a gentle and sweet cat, but is easily frightened of strangers and unfamiliar situations; preferring to hide out in a safe nook and wait for the safety of the night to venture out. |
|
Peggy Sue
|
PEGGY SUE is another cat rescued from behind the Hi-way101 Diner. She was born in July, 2000 and came to PFOA in January 2001. She's a pretty, short-haired calico who chooses to winter in her foster parent's house, but summer outside. After living with her foster parents for several years now, her foster mother can sometimes get close enough to touch shy Peggy Sue. |
|
Primrose
|
PRIMROSE was born in April, 2008 and came to PFOA in May, 2010 after being rescued from an empty apartment where she was left with a bag of food and water. She's a beautiful Calico long hair and has joined Tippy as an "office cat" at Safe Haven because of her serious allergy issues which we are working hard to get under control. She has been allergy tested and currently gets regular shots as well as other medication and a special diet. (Her eating must be carefully watched). Because her care is a bit costly and requires very close monitoring, it is unlikely she will be adopted for some time. |
|
Rachael
|
RACHAEL is a sixteen year old who came to us after living in an empty house for several weeks when her owner passed away. Quirky and full of personality, Rachel does NOT like other cats. She is a declawed, affectionate, and funny little soul who is looking for a kind and patient caregiver. She would be happiest as an only cat in a quiet household. |
|
Rutabaga
|
"Ruddie"
crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 4th...he will be missed...
RUTABAGA was born in June, 1998 and came to PFOA in December, 2000. He is a large red long-hair tabby cat with white booties and bib. He bolts whenever a human comes into his sights and vanishes. He is well cared for at his foster home but "socialize" is a word he does not recognize. |
|
Spot Nelson
|
SPOT NELSON was born in May, 2000 and came to PFOA in October, 2000. He was part of a litter of six black cats and he had a white spot on his chest. Three of his littermates died from distemper. He left his foster home one day and returned three years later. He came back into the house and slept in the bed! |
|
Sumari and Dotless
|
SUMARI AND DOTLESS are siblings and identical. They were born in May, 2000 and came to PFOA in July, 2000. Both Sumari and Dotless are terrified of people and are, except under certain circumstances, untouchable. |
|
Thistle
|
THISTLE was born in March, 2003 and came to PFOA in July, 2003. He is a sleek, poly-dactyl neutered male with magnificent copper colored eyes and a sweet expression. He has diabetes and receives insulin shots. Thistle especially enjoys sitting on the back of the couch, both for the view and the closeness to his human friends. |
|
Tippy
|
TIPPY was born in May, 2004 and came to PFOA in June, 2004. He is a beautiful orange and white tabby with a sweet personality. However, he has a neurological problem, perhaps from his mother suffering distemper when she was pregnant or from poisoning or from a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. Tippy can walk across the room, then falls down, gets back up and repeats the process. He actually gets around pretty well and enjoys playing and attention. He has become Safe Haven's office cat as his extra care and occasional incontinence make it unlikely he will be adopted. He has been placed twice, and was returned because he is unhappy when not at Safe Haven. |
|
TJ
|
TJ was born in June, 2004 and came to PFOA in December, 2005. He was picked up as a kitten by some hippies who were living in a van. For some reason, TJ has grown into a very territorial cat and tends to strike and nip at anyone getting near him. |
|
Bucky
|
BUCKY is a male Lhasa Apso purchased from a pet store and sold as an 8-week-old puppy. Originally from a puppy mill, Bucky chased cats, fought with other dogs, nipped care-takers, resisted potty training and generally misbehaved. After 11 homes, he has found a wonderful foster home willing to accept his naughtiness and keep him from harm's way. While mostly loving and affectionate, Bucky's unpredictability makes him unsuitable for adoption, so he will remain in PFOA's care for his protection. |
|
Freddy
|
FREDDY is a large 4-year-old Shih Tzu/Pomeranian mix that was sold as a small puppy. After being returned to the breeder and rescued by PFOA, his family was located and his history of biting and running away was discovered. Freddy proved to have a badly broken tooth that was extremely painful and caused him to bite when children tried to take toys from him. Even with the painful tooth removed, his naughty habits have continued and make him a risk in the average home. Freddy will live out his life with his friend Maxwell in foster care where he loves to run and play and carry a special toy at all times. |
|
Maxwell
|
MAXWELL is an adorable four-year-old Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix used as a breeding dog. Maxwell has an enlarged heart that makes him adoption challenged. His chances of living to be an old dog are quite slim, but he is happy and loved in his foster home where he receives the best of care and lives with a companion dog rescued from the same home. |
