Here are a few of the cats that we’re helping who were caught around Temple Hospital. Stay tuned for more updates and more cats!

Rocky, around 5 years old. This affectionate and mellow white male with two difference color eyes, has had a hard time on the tough streets. Although his gums are not diseased, he has only three teeth, perhaps from a blow to the head or mouth. He also has a deep scar on his front leg joint. Despite all this, he is a love bug and is neutered and fully vetted.

Lila, about 2 years old. This young female was pregnant when rescued. She has had several litters of kittens as a youngster and grateful to finally be spayed and vaccinated. She loves to eat and be rubbed.

Murphy, around 8 months old. This young affectionate male can’t get enough attention. This guy is an “in your face” kinda cat who wants all the love he can demand. He has been neutered and vaccinated.

Elvis, around 2 years old. This is a gentle giant who is quite a lover—on and off the street. He was well known on the street for fathering so many kittens and he has many scars, including an eye injury, and scratches to prove it. He has been neutered and fully vetted. He wants nothing of his former life.

Pippin, around 12 weeks old. This little boy is shy and coming out of his shell. He has discovered toys and loves to play in his water bowl, making a constant mess of his cage.

Emma, around 1 year old. She is very sweet and affectionate. Shows evidence of having been pregnant. Her ears have been scratched raw from probably mite infection for which she has been treated. She wants be rubbed as often as possible.

Meet Big Bunny! He’s up for adoption, which we never really thought would happen. He has always hung back while we fed the other cats and we were never able to pet him, let alone touch him. He never seemed the least bit friendly – we were pretty sure he was feral, as we’ve seen him around for a long, long time.

Two weeks ago, after we narrowed the colony down to 2, he decided to let us pet him – and suddenly he became of the most affectionate cats we’d ever met! He absolutely loves to be petted, especially if you scratch his big old cheeks. He is a really great cat, and he’s not the least bit scared or skittish. He’ll come right to you and start rubbing on your hand – he’ll even jump up on his hind legs to reach you. He is an absolutely fantastic cat who deserves a great home.

Big Bunny got his name because of Bunny – you can read about her here. She has something wrong with her back legs and hops like a Bunny. Big Bunny is very clearly related to her – we assume her father, so the name just stuck. They look almost identical (Big Bunny is older, though).

BB, as we like to call him, has some marks and scratches and old bites on him, but they all seem to have healed just fine and are covered over by his thick fur (Although the vets had to shave his cheeks to make sure an old wound was ok, so he looks a bit silly these days!) We think he’s around 3 years old, so he’s got a long life of living inside and taking it easy ahead of him!
