We have a very friendly loving indoor/outdoor female cat that is 4 years old.

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-08-31-00290Luna (female)
We have two beautiful female bengal cats that due to changing circumstances we MIGHT need to re home. We adore these girls. They are extremely loved and well cared for. Luna is just a little over one year and Moonlight is 5. Neither have health issues or behavior issues. They are indoor only girls and eat raw chicken (cut up game hens, chicken liver and hearts with a vitamin mixture) they will NOT eat store bought cat food. It is a must that they be re homed together to a special person or family who will agree to continue their raw chicken diet and never de claw them. They both love to play with toys. They race through the house in games of ... (Read More)chase or simply with a fluffy ball in their mouths. Moonlight has picked me (female) to snuggle with on her terms of course. On occasion Moonlight will sit with other members of the family. Luna just wants to play, no snuggling but likes to be petted. When Luna sees my son she will meow at him and run to a string toy, her way of asking him to play. Moonlight can be very vocal maybe once or twice a day if she has a toy and wants you to know about it. She will meow LOUDLY for about ten times and then be done. Luna is a cabinet dweller. She opens them and pops in and out or takes a nap. Our hunting dogs are away at training and I am hoping that after extensive obedience training we can all live harmoniously but their prey drive just might prove too strong and I couldn't live with myself if the girls could no longer safely chase and play the way they are used to. I'm putting this out in advance to see if there could potentially be a good match if things don't work out some time in OCTOBER. Also, it might help heal my broken heart knowing someone will love and care for them as much as we do. (Less) Washington County Tugard, OR MAP IT!

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Cat in Oregon | |||||||||
Cats can make good pets in Oregon if they match your IifestyIe. Domestic Cats have been intriguing companions for humans since ancient times. Worldwide, cats are even more popular than dogs as pets. Sadly, huge numbers of cats are in need of adoption and care. A cat owner who no longer wants the cat, or is no longer able to care for a cat, may drop the cat off at a shelter or simply abandon it. Overcrowding in shelters, along with too few adoptive families for the cats, leads to many wonderful pets having to be euthanized. Abandoned cats fend for themselves and breed in the wild, forming colonies of feral cats. Feral cats have such a difficult existence that they typically only live an average of two years, whereas domestic cats can live an average of twelve years with proper care. Organizations exist that can catch and tame feral kittens, and then place them in a home, but adult ferals can rarely be socialized to trust humans. Meanwhile, many prospective cat owners choose to purchase a kitten from a pet store or breeder, and may not know that even purebred cats and kittens are often available for adoption. Once someone is ready for the responsibility of caring for a cat, adoption can be an incredibly rewarding decision. Adoption benefits cats, owners, and society alike. Adopting a cat is typically much less expensive than purchasing one. Shelters often have a wide selection of very sweet, friendly cats and kittens, including purebreds. Adoptive owners enjoy bonding with their pets, and have the extra satisfaction of knowing they have rescued a wonderful companion from a hard existence. Every cat adopted means one less cat has to be euthanized. Every kitten purchased new results in one less opportunity for adoption to take place. If you are ready for a pet cat, please consider adoption! Rescue Me! - HeIpingAnimaIs in Need. |  | ||||||||
