FIV+ kitty spotlight!!๐ŸŽ‰ Meet Hickory!! Hickory is too adorable for words. ๐Ÿฅฐ He has the best round face and beautiful brown tabby markings. Hickory is very friendly and is eager for pets and attention and is one of the first kitties to greet visitors. He follows them around the room until he receives much desired pets. Hickory also loves to lay on laps!! He is a true lovebug.

He also easily gets along well with other friendly cats! Contrary to what many people think, FIV canโ€™t be transmitted to other cats through sharing litter boxes or food/water bowls. FIV+ kitties can live with non-FIV cats with NO issues!! ๐Ÿ™€

๐ŸŒป ADOPTION UPDATE - TULIP! ๐ŸŒป

Kiki (formerly Tulip) is adjusting great! She loves cuddling and her belly rubbed. Sheโ€™s so social and exploring new parts of the house each day! Her new brother and her are slowly warming up to each other. Her purrs are so loud and sheโ€™s truly the sweetest kitty. We are so lucky to have her!

I attached some photos for you to post :) I donโ€™t mind them being posted at all!

๐Ÿฉถ Meet Macy ๐Ÿฉถ
Gray, white, fluffy, and absolutely gorgeous โ€” Macy is the kind of kitten who makes you stop mid-scroll. ๐Ÿ˜
Macy came to us as a stray, and like any kitten who's had to navigate the world on her own, she's still figuring out that the scary part is over. Right now you'll find her tucked into a cozy cubby or hidey bed, taking it all in at her own pace โ€” new sounds, new smells, new faces. She's not shutting the world out. She's just thinking about it. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’ญ
And here's what we already know about her: the moment Macy relaxes, she is an absolute sweetheart. She accepts gentle pets, she leans into them, and something in her just softens. She's a great litter box user, a good eater, and has a particular enthusiasm for wet food that is honestly very relatable. ๐Ÿ˜„
What Macy needs is someone who won't mistake quiet for cold. She's not unfriendly โ€” she's just careful. Give her a soft voice, slow movements, and a predictable routine, and she will start to bloom. It might happen quickly. It might take a little longer. But we have zero doubt that underneath that cautious exterior is a confident, loving kitty just waiting for the right home to bring her out. ๐ŸŒธ
๐Ÿพ A few things to know about Macy:
Kittens are happiest with a playmate, so Macy will need to be adopted alongside another kitten here at Second Chance โ€” or go home to a household that already has a young, playful cat waiting for a friend. She'd do beautifully with a single adopter, a couple, or a family with older kids who know how to give a shy kitty her space. And as she grows into that gorgeous long coat, regular brushing will keep her looking (and feeling) her absolute best. ๐Ÿชฎโœจ
If you've ever wanted the joy of watching a shy kitten slowly decide that you are safe โ€” Macy might be your girl. ๐Ÿฉถ

Meet bonded FIV+ cats Tilly and Smudge! ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค These gorgeous long haired kitties were found in a ditch with a soaked bag of cat food next to them ๐Ÿ˜ฟ They made their way to SCCWM and were adopted, but were recently returned when their adopter could no longer keep them ๐Ÿ˜ฟ Twice, theyโ€™ve gone through heartbreak ๐Ÿ’” We hope that the third times a charm for them!

They are both gentle and sweet, and have beautiful, fluffy coats. What makes them extra special is the little fur floofs sprouting from their feet! They are adorable!! In their adoptive home, Tilly was known to be more of the affectionate one but here at the shelter Smudge absolutely adores belly rubs. ๐Ÿ’• They both like to play especially with a wand toy!

Their FIV+ status just means they need regular vet visits to stay healthy and happy ๐Ÿ˜ธ

๐ŸŒป ADOPTION UPDATE - SALEM! ๐ŸŒป

Hey everyone, so itโ€™s been 4 months since Iโ€™ve adopted Salem. (Formerly Merlin) I have to say he is the best cat ever. Heโ€™s not as shy as he was a few months ago. He loves his cat trees, feathers, and remote control cat toys. He loves to snuggle every night with me and loves getting attention. Thanks so much to second chance cattery. Iโ€™m so happy heโ€™s apart of my life! ๐Ÿ–ค

Meet Serena......a very sweet, shy brown and gold tabby with amazing whiskers who along with her housemates were dumped to the curb after their owner was evicted. We think they all suffered some neglect prior to the eviction. Serena's housemates have all been adopted and she is patiently waiting her turn.

Serena has had multiple moves and for a shy cat that's hard. She went from her previous owner to a temporary shelter to Second Chance, two fosters, and now back to Second Chance. None of the moves were related to Serena as she is gentle and a good houseguest. She takes a bit to acclimate, but once she does she loves pets, will lay next to you, and her playful side appears. She is a cat who needs to trust first but with her multiple moves and having to adjust multiple times she will need a patient adopter.

At the shelter, she is often found under a blanket and may appear like she doesn't want attention but that is untrue. Gently lean in and she is all yours for the petting. She just wants a home, one where she will find stability and reassurance. Who doesn't want that?

According to one of Serena's former foster Moms "Serena is a sweet little kitty who loves to have her head scratched. A little shy at first, she warms up quickly with soft talk and gentle praise. Serena loves her toys, especially a ping pong ball. She would thrive in a quiet home where she can be the queen".

Serena is ready to blossom in the right home with an adopter who will initially give her a small space to feel comfortable and then will give her daily praise and pets. Serena is such a nice girl. We know the shyer kitties are often overlooked however with Serena if you give her a chance you will be well rewarded with affection and love.
