	Sarah     Approx. 7 years old, female  Ragdoll Bi-color seal point/White. Five time grand champion, according to her previous owner.  Sarah was rescued from a breeder in Florida who's health failed and was not able to care for them any more. She actually had more than she could take care of or even socialize. We were told that Sarah has held Grand Champion status as a Chocolate Point/White Bi-color Ragdoll. She is stunning. Her blue eyes are just gorgeous. Her personality is friendly and she likes to talk quite a bit. She tolerates other cats but wants her space. I guess living with so many other cats wasn't quite what she had in mind. Right now I am working on her coat of fur. She was severely matted and covered in fleas. It will take a while for her beautiflul coat to grow back in a show off her champion style. I will post pictures when I am done with her make over. She is a little thin right now as well and am feeding her by herself because apparently she hasn't done well with all the competition in the past for the bows. She is coming along quite well and will make someone a wonderfull companion. We think Sarah suffers from IBS.  She is doing well on Nature's Variety Raw Diet.  We think she either was used to being fed only people food, or her stomach is so sensitive that it doesn't take much to upset her system.  After trying many kinds of wet food, because she doesn't like dry cat food, as well as medication, Raw Diet is the only thing that seems to keep her and her stomach happy.  Raw diets are VERY simple -- you thaw the pattie and just give it to the cat. No mixing, it's already done and in the freezer.  Chicken patties are $18.99 at our vet for a 3-4 week supply of a small kitty.   Contact Lynn at: bluemoonwolf@earthlink.net
	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 5 other kittens in Mona's foster home contracted distemper in November, 2009. 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. Additionally, Frank had a problem with loose stool daily since he recovered from distemper. One of the effects of distemper is to attack the intestine. So as of May now have him on a raw diet, which he may need to be on forever. He had diarrhea for 4 months before we tried raw, and he was firm overnight and has been since!!!  Raw diets are VERY simple -- you thaw the pattie and just give it to the cat. No mixing, it's already done and in the freezer.  Chicken patties are $18.99 at our vet for a 3-4 week supply of a small kitty like Frank. Sibling to Freddy (adopted), Freda (feral) and Frodo (adopted). 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
	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. So it would be in Wazoo's best interests to find a private home. He is currently in a FELV+ area with over a dozen kitties (i.e., "shelter"). 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 & rare coloring!  Look at her cute little stubby tail in the pictures, it's only about an inch long! Hah. As a kitten, she was crossing the street between two restaurants and got hit by a car at 45 mph (on Clearlake Rd, Cocoa). She completely healed after her surgery to fix her diaphragmmatic hernia. Her shattered leg surgery was done as of 8/21/09. We had to keep her quiet while it healed.  Then we sent her back for a checkup and they spayed her. She's all healthy now and has no limp!  Note: due to her surgery she does not get 'up' on things like the countertops! She had a FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) just like dogs with hip dysplasia have (to remove the head of the femur). In her case the head of the femur was shattered by the car hitting her.  It would not heal correctly so FHO was the only option. 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...this is a true rescue success story and we couldn't have done it without our great contributors for her surgery. The vet also did not charge us to fix the hernia (which was life threatening). Widget loves to be held and cuddled and to sit at your feet or snuggle up to you in the bed while you read.  She is fine with other cats (and the dog!!) and tends to hang out mostly in our bedroom or on the porch.

	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 2 dental diseases called Stomatitis and Gingivitis. He had his teeth removed (all molars behind the fangs) and is doing GREAT!!!!

	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. DSH turkish van marked neutered male. He has tested positive for MRSA so we treated that, I named him Ching because of the CHING sound the register at the vet made when we had to pay the bill!!!  He has also been to an eye specialist. We are working hard to clear up his weepy eye. Poor little guy is really tired of eye drops! We have just noticed Ching has inflammation around his teeth so we think he may have Stomatitis. He will need mouth surgery (plus dental xrays) and hopefully that will clear him up. At this point he is able to eat and is stable. This is a condition that makes Ching really unadoptable, so if you want to donate toward his dental xrays and surgery, every bit helps. In February 2010, Ching went to the vet - there is some foreign object in his right eye which we think is the source of all the tearing and redness. He is not sick, but the eye is irritated. On 3/2/10 the vet put him under to try removing the foreign object.  It could not be removed so we were directed to put ointment in his eye 3 times a day, the vet thinks maybe it will flush out on its own. If not we will have to take him to an opthomologist.  New update: we took him to the opthalmologist, who put him on 3 different eyedrops 4 times a day (whew) and the redness subsided. This specialist also removed some of the object there in the office but couldn't get it all, and hopes the rest will flush out. As of June 2010, it did flush out which is very, very rare and Ching is extremely lucky he avoided a $1000 surgery!! The object in Ching's eye was a "corneal sequestrum". Ching still need mouth surgery.  We will be doing that in August, 2010.         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.   Roscoe 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 4 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 sibling 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. Mom cat got a great home and so did Nunn's sibling.   This is a very sweet kitty who greets all our vistors, loves to be petted and picked up.     Nunn has keratitis (eye disease) and lymphomic plasma cell stomatitis (LPS) which is a mouth disease, so we have had her molars removed.     The vet just checked her in April 2010 and said her mouth looks really good. Currently Nunn is not on any medication but we make sure she gets small kibble every day which is easy to swallow (Purina One Kitten).     We doubt Nunn will be adopted because LPS is a very difficult disease to manage when it flares up.  Donations are welcome toward Nunn's ongoing care.             Contact Mona at : meowmail1@yahoo.com
	Twix - Special Needs DOB appx July 2002. DSH tortie, spayed female. She has a cute little orange nose. It's hard to get a picture of her because the camera flash reflects back off her nose!   Twix was given up by her family due to new baby's allergies. The family told us they tried everything - changing from carpet to tile, etc.  They gave up three cats, including Twix's sister.  Twix is the only one left of the trio. She has been with us since appx 2004 because she is shy -- at adoption events she crawls under the towel!!!  As usual, the most adoptable cats are the ones who "showboat" in the cage and reach out to people. Cats like Twix are skipped over time after time.   So Twix is waiting for that truly special person who has a quiet home - someone who will be patient and bring her out of her shell in her new home.   When she is familiar with you, and your routine, she will scamper around, and roll around on the floor while you talk to her. She is actually quite silly!  Her biggest fear is when people are standing over her. If you are on her level, either on the floor, sitting, or laying, she is much more relaxed.   She is also a cheap date - you can bribe her with any canned food! LOL     Twix was actually posing for her new pictures, she sat there looking regal time after time!    Twix was an asymptomatic false negative FeLV kitty.  Because she has FeLV, she is a special needs kitty.  She lives in an enclosure with Brian, B.O.B., and Haley, so the FeLV enclosure is now full.             Contact Mona at : meowmail1@yahoo.com
	Haley   DOB appx Feb 2002, DSH grey tux with white mustache, spayed female. Sweet and just a bit shy. Has been around other cats and children. She has been to the vet for her eye which consistently is watery, the vet said there is no fix for that, so she will have a slightly watery eye all the time. Haley is a petite girl, and loves attention. Haley is FELV+. She is being treated for diarrhea after being at 10th Life.  She lives in an enclosure with Brian, B.O.B., and Twix, so the FeLV enclosure is now full.   Contact Mona at : meowmail1@yahoo.com
	Brian   DOB appx December 2008, DSH solid grey neutered male. Looovvvveess to be held, great with other cats, dogs, kids. He was turned in at the county shelter because of allergies, owner could no longer keep him. What a great cat! In some of the pictures he was slinking along in the house checking things out after being here 5 minutes. He is one of the friendliest cats we have ever seen! (and that's really saying something). The only thing we have noticed in this best-all-around cat is he likes to play chase & attack, and sometimes it upsets the chased cat. We are working with him on that. Brian is special needs because he is FELV+. Currently he is being treated for diarrhea and mange, as he was at 10th Life Sanctuary for a few weeks, and caught some bugs there.  He lives in an enclosure with Twix, B.O.B., and Haley, so the FeLV enclosure is now full.   Contact Mona at : meowmail1@yahoo.com
	Big Orange Boy aka B.O.B.  DOB appx 2005'ish, DSH 20 pound orange mackeral tabby, neutered male.  Was dumped in the outside cages at the Eau Gallie Shelter. Very friendly, when they tested him he was positive for Feline Leukemia. The county shelter does not offer FELV+ cats for adoption so he was going to be killed.  He's such a nice boy we got a call so we took him since we are no kill.  He is hanging out with Brian, Haley, and Twix in our FELV enclosure.   Gets along great with other cats, he fit right in!  Our enclosure for FeLV+ kitties is now full.             Contact Mona at : meowmail1@yahoo.com
