Marta at Home!

Last month, I wrote a post about an adorable and tiny young female cat, Marta, who was found outside on one of the coldest days of the year, huddling in a window well trying desperately to get warm. 


This sweet girl quickly attracted the attention of a kind animal lover who was interested in giving Marta a home.  It worked out great and Marta was adopted without even being listed for adoption. 


Her new mom sent us an update with pics to let us know that Marta is doing very well. She is eating well,  putting on weight, playing with toys and making friends with the other cats and dog in the home. Her mom says that "Marta is a beautiful affectionate cat and I am so glad we found each other." 

We are so glad, too!

We Have a Sweet Kitten!

This is little Toffee, a 3-month old male who had the luck of the Irish with him today, as he was rescued from life on the streets in an area known for its high stray cat population. At only 3-months of age, Toffee is far too young to be fending for himself.

Toffee is happy to be safe and warm and to have a full belly.  He is a sweet and friendly little guy who is already making himself at home with other cats and dog in his foster home.

He will be listed for adoption shortly.

Some Sweet Success Stories

Recently, our adorable formerly feral kitten Bennie found a new home where he fits in perfectly, and his new owners adore him.  He bonded right away with the resident male cat and the two are now BFFs.

We also received a happy update on Starsky and Sam, who were adopted together and and are doing great in their new home as well. Here is Sammy enjoying a belly rub, while Starsky poses with their sister Lexi!

It's so nice to see our former rescues looking so content.

Old Cat Learns New Tricks

Our beloved Teddy is an old, grizzled tomcat that spent years as a stray in the town of Sedley before being rescued with a badly injured and infected leg, and severe corneal damage from chronic upper respiratory infections.

Despite his rough life as stray, Teddy is one of the sweetest and most loving cats ever. He loves to cuddle up and gives hugs, and he is a purring machine once he gets going.

Teddy continues to surprise us with his resilience and adaptability. Here he is having a blast playing with a fuzzy mouse borrowed from his foster brother Othello! Not bad for an old guy.

Go, Teddy!

Hanging with Tuck!

I recently had the chance to spend some time cuddling and petting our wonderful rescued guy, Tuck, a sweet tom that came to us in January needing a 2nd chance.

Tuck came into PFA foster care as a lonely rescued stray who was lucky enough to stumble upon a kind young man who rescued and cared for him and asked PFA to help get him a forever home.

Tuck was pretty scared when he arrived at the vet clinic to be neutered, and was so skittish we weren't sure he'd make it to foster care! But he proved to be an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy once he was safe and cozy in  a loving foster home.

Tuck loves to nuzzle and give head butts, and he adores petting and soft food. He is a gentle giant with his big head and huge paws, but he is putty in your hands once you start petting, and he purrs up a storm! He loves attention so much that if you try to leave, he puts up his paw to try and make you pet him some more!

Tuck is doing great with the two dogs and other cat in his foster home.
