	Frank     DOB appx July 2009, DSH brown tabby & white neutered male, we got his litter when we responded to a 'free kittens' sign by the road. The lady now has all her stray cats fixed, thanks to our local spay neuter programs for strays and ferals (via Space Coast Feline Network). This little guy is very outgoing and loves to be petted.  Hangs around your feet just waiting his turn for attention!  OK being picked up. Note: Frank and several other kittens in Mona's foster home recently contracted distemper. We do not know where it came from, it is very easy to transmit because even a microscopic particle of fecal matter on your shoe can bring it into a home. Our foster moms do visit other shelters, and also have private appointments with people coming in to their homes, so there is no telling where it came from. No other shelters or foster moms had an outbreak except Mona.  Six kittens were sick and only Frank survived. We have seen cases where distemper survivors go blind at age 3 years, so whoever adopts Frank needs to be prepared for that. It is best he find a forever home now, so he can be familiar with the layout, just in case this does happen. Sibling to Freddy, Freda and Frodo. Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Wazoo DOB appx 8/15/08. DSH brown mackeral tabby (skinny stripes), neutered male. This is a cutie patootie, and super friendly. Likes tummy rubs and to play with his sister, who is a classic tabby. Both were pulled from the Eau Gallie (county) shelter, they were going to be killed soon because the shelter is overcrowded even more than usual due to the economy. These kittens weren't even sick, the shelter is just out of room. Wazoo is a little timid of men, we have been working on that.  He is okay being carried around like superman or draped on your shoulder, or cuddled. In the pictures Wazoo is the kitten with the skinny stripes. His sister Wiggles has the bolder stripes. UPDATE: As Wazoo matured, we found out he has Feline Leukemia. His sister Wiggles does not, and she has been adopted. Very odd, but it does happen that way sometimes. Wazoo now lives in a foster area with only Feline Leukemia kitties, however he is still up for adoption. FeLV+ kitties can live 7-10 years in a private home. Unfortunately in shelters they live usually only 1-2 years.  Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Dorie    DOB appx May 2004. DSH black female, this kitten has been tested positive for Feline Leukemia (it was a dark positive which is a very reliable test result). (FeLV is not transmittable to humans or dogs.) We are hoping someone who already has FeLV+ cats in their home will adopt one of our FeLV's, because in a shelter environment the average lifespan of a FELV kitty is 1-2 years. In a private home it is much more, around 7-12 years. Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Widget - Special Needs       DOB appx June 1, 2009, this is a DSH smoke torbie manx female. Yes she has a little stubby tail, and she is a smoke (charcoal color) tabby, with some beige stripes, so she's a torbie!  Awesome coloring! She was on the street and got hit by a car at 45 mph (on Clearlake Rd). She is doing well after her surgery to fix her hernia. She has got used to humans now, with all the handling we have done, medicating, etc. Her leg surgery is done as of 8/21. We had to keep her quiet while it healed.  Then we sent her back for a checkup and they spayed her. She's doing great. Look at her new picture stretched out on the floor after playing. She's so tame now! We had people over and they petted her and she just hung around no problem! Contact Mona at : meowmail1@gmail.com
	Tarzan    DOB appx June 2008. DSH orange spotted tabby & white. This little guy is so friendly and outgoing. He loves to play! He was found in a tree outside the North Animal Care Center (NACC) which is the county shelter in Titusville, near the airport (Flake Rd). A no-kill rescue person was there and she rescued him, thank goodness. What a sweetie he is! We noticed his one leg (right front) that is orange all the way down, the others are white!! LOL Tarzan has been diagnosed with a dental problem called Stomatitis. He will have extensive dental surgery and will probably not be adoptable due to the cost of care. This is too bad because cats with this condition do best in a private home, the vets have noticed this can be aggravated by being with lots of other cats. Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Maurice - Special Needs   DOB appx September 2008, DSH brown classic tabby (excellent markings), male (not neutered yet). This is one of the few we were able to rush and pull from the Eau Gallie shelter on the red letter day, June 10, when everything not up for adoption or doing stray time was killed. We rushed to pull what we could and we only got 1 litter of kittens and 2 adults. This is one of the adults, he had some awful diarrhea (ugh) and we first got him stabilized now on Life's Abundance.  He was not able to eat anything else and we are pretty darn sure this is why the owner dumped him, the paperwork said 'cat allergies' but she had him in her house 3 months, so that doesn't quite add up.  He is much more comfortable now, and is eating Nutro, and completely stable. He also has a little ataxia which is why we have him listed special needs.  It seems he does not see very well, and his body is a little stiff (ataxia) so we are not sure what is up with that. He has already seen the vet who agrees, and there is really no explanation (yet) because ataxia is a neurologic condition. He has really large eyes, see in the picture! Maurice is very even-tempered, he just goes with the flow! He gets along fine with other cats. He does not see well (only straight ahead) so he tends to reach for something and be about 3 inches shy of touching it. He plays with large shiny objects. He also has the habit of leaning against your legs. He will follow your feet as your walk thru the house, since he can only see straight ahead, that is how he knows where you are!  Note: tripping hazard.... We need to take him to the neurologist, and planned to, till Clara came along and broke her leg, so that took precedence. The vet visit for a neurologist in Brevard is $179, no discounts at all...and there's only one vet who can do this exam.  Sigh.  So, we went to the neurologist, it went up from $150 to $179 (ouch) for the exam only.  Without an MRI there is no definitive reason yet for his eyesight limitations, or his ataxia, but the most common reason would be he was born this way (congenital). Usually in those cases the vets say the momcat had a virus of some sort that affected the babies in the womb. The MRI is the best way to diagnose any of this, and it is $2200.  Yep, two thousand, two hundred dollars.  So, we will not be doing that without a fundraiser.  At this point Maurice is stable and the neurologist asked us to put him on B Complex and Vitamin E, so those are simple things we can do (affordable!). Maurice is adoptable, you just have to know his limitations of sight. He definitely IS a tripping hazard -- he cannot always see you, you have to keep an eye out for him -- so keep that in mind. But he is very sweet and loving, and always wants to be with you.         Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Ching   DOB appx 5/1/08. Was found on the street, they had a kitty cold and were starving and very sick with URI. Ching is a Turkish Van marked neutered male. Loves tummy rubs, needs L-Lysine for his eye, we are working on that. His drippy eye looks worse than it is because he's white and it really shows up!          Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Roscoe - Special Needs   DOB appx 4/15/05. DSH orange classic/white neutered male. Roscoe and his sister were seen falling out of a trash truck at the dump in Cocoa. Roscoe loves attention. He loves to play even more! Gets along with all other cats, needs a young, playful cat buddy, this is a MUST! He is curious and wants to always be where the "action" is. Roscoe has been around a dog and was not even fazed. He has been to the vet for his left eye, the tear duct looks to be closed since birth so his left eye is watery but there is no infection. He is ready to go to his new home (yes we will send his current eyedrops with him!) The drops cost about $30 a year, thru our group.  I find it really sad that people have skipped over such a great cat for 3 years because he needs two eye drops a day.  What does that say about the human race!!!??            Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Liza (AKA Elijah --> it's a girl!!) - Special Needs       DOB appx June 2006, very young adult DSH brown mackeral tabby. She was living on the street and picked up by animal control. She is very sweet if a little hesitant as if she remembers being chased off, while living on the street. We keep calling her name and reassuring her so she has learned humans can be ok to approach. Now her trust in humans is rebuilt, we are so glad. We found she walks like her pelvis was possibly broken at one time, so we took her in for xrays. During the exam the vet found Liza has a severe case of Stomatitis in her mouth. This is a new disease and has the vets stumped. Research is ongoing; at this point all we can do is treat the symptoms and keep Liza as comfortable as possible. Due to the stomatitis, Liza is a special needs cat. She is posted on our website so people are aware of his disease and the need for donations toward her ongoing care. Stomatitis is a very expensive disease and there is no test to tell whether a cat will get it or not. NOTE: Originally we named this cat Elijah thinking it was a male. I got a good "look" the other day and a vet confirmed it's a female!  Geez! Contact Mona at : meowmail1@gmail.com
	Jet - Special Needs         DOB appx April 2002, Black Medium-haired male. He is brain damaged and requires a very special needs home.He was the sweetest kitten!! He purrs immediately when touched by a human. Jet had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia and died during surgery. His brain was without oxygen, so he is now brain damaged. Jet can walk, run, meow, feed himself, use the litter pan, groom, and lap water. Jet can figure out how to navigate a new room within a very few minutes. Jet can also climb (not jump) onto the bed. He "walks off" the edge of the bed (not jumps) a bit ungracefully, but unharmed!!! As of now, Jet cannot fully see, or fully hear. His left ear has 30% hearing, and he has some peripheral vision in each eye, and some forward vision in his right eye. He has recently been "helping" wrap holiday gifts - he loves interaction of any kind! Especially interesting noises like tissue or wrapping paper, tape,crinkly bows, etc. What fun!  Jet reacts defensively when he encounters another cat, and other cats do not tolerate him well (other cats can "sense" he is needy, which is not considered a survival trait in the animal kingdom). Jet has been on herbal treatments to try and heal more of his brain function. He is under close supervision of Dr. Earle at Coastal Animal Hospital in Rockledge, FL. He is a special needs kitty. Jet grooms his front end and legs only. So because he is a medium-length fur kitty, he has to go to the vet for a shave. They have to knock him under for this because he gets very upset leaving his "house" (safe zone). This costs PAWS about $125 every 4 months. Donations are welcome!  Contact Mona at : meowmail1@gmail.com
	Nunn - Special Needs   DOB appx June 2004, DMH torbie spayed female. Nunn's mom and siblings were from a county shelter where they were going to be killed. PAWS took them when the kittens were 1 week old. They all came down with the shelter "cold" (upper respiratory) and the kittens had to be tube fed because the mom cat was not interested in nursing them. Of the six kittens, only two survived after weaning. Mom cat got a great home and so did Nunn's sibling. Nunn has lingering drippy eyes and we think lymphomic plasma cell stomatitis (LPS). Donations are welcome toward Nunn's care.             Contact Mona at : meowmail1@yahoo.com
