Right Back Where They Started




These two cute and cuddly little black cats are Roscoe and Clementine, siblings who were first rescued by PFA as babies in the spring of 2008. They were adopted, but recently returned to us by their owner more than two years after the initial adoption, terrified and in an obvious state of neglect.

We are heartbroken at the sad outcome for these two wonderful little cats, but also happy to have them in a transitional foster home where they know they are loved.

PFA invests a lot of time, resources and love to get good homes and outcomes for our rescued cats. It is never easy to take in a stray or rescued kittens/cats, care for them as though they were your own pet, and then hand them over to strangers to live happily ever after (hopefully). It is devastating for foster care providers when an adoption fails, despite our best efforts to screen and match up adopters with suitable cats.

However, we are resilient, much like the cats and kittens we care for. Roscoe and Clementine have quickly come around in the safety and security of their temporary foster home. They definitely need some TLC (and vet care for poor Roscoe, who was returned with an untreated urinary tract infection).

Roscoe and Clementine will be re-listed for adoption shortly, once Roscoe's infection has been treated. In the meantime, we are seeking a loving longer-term foster or adoptive home that will take them as a pair and provide the love and care they need and deserve.
