Special Pets For Special People

Oliver was a victim of animal abuse. He was adopted by a nice man who doesn't mind that Oliver only has one eye.

We are seeking someone special and it could be you!

Thanks to generous donors, compassionate foster parents, and dedicated staff, we’re able to save lives of special needs animals. These pets might require mobility assistance, extra medicines, or a home without children or other pets. They might be elderly, handicapped, or suffer from a chronic health condition. Some may simply be harder to re-home. Although these pets may take more time, attention, or care, we know they're worth it.

These pets deserve a special someone to love them.

Could it be you?

If you’re willing to open your heart and home to one of our special needs pets, please contact our Adoption Center Manager Pam Burgess at adoptions@ashevillehumane.org.

 

 

Gumdrop and Zodiac

Gumdrop- is a wonderful young cat.  She craves human attention and loves to be petted, scratched, and snuggled.  After an initial intro, she does well with other cats. Gumdrop likes to play with cat toys, shoelaces, and even crumpled up pieces of paper. When you are not home, Gumdrop is content to sit in a sunny window and soak up the rays or explore the house and play with her toys!  Gumdrop is well-socialized, lots of fun, and would make a wonderful pet.

Zodiac-is a very loving sweet boy that loves to be loved on!  He is only 7 months old, so still very much a kitten.  Zodiac gets along well with other cats and loves to play!  He would make an awesome addition to a family who wants a love bug kitty!

Gumdrop and Zodiac  Special Needs:

Gumdrop and Zodiac both have a mild medical condition that causes occasional watery discharge from their eyes. It is likely related to one of several common upper-respiratory infections found in many cats. Neither of them are in any pain or distress, but they will need to be monitored. Conditions like these can be “chronic” and life-long, often made worse by stress. We would prefer that they were adopted directly from their current foster home to keep any changes to a minimum. This condition can be contagious to other cats in some situations.  Our medical staff would be more than happy to talk to you about the care that these two kitties will require. We believe that they are both well worth it!

They are together! These two are currently at the same foster home and it would be wonderful if they could be adopted together!  

Could you be the special person they have been looking for?

If so, please contact adoptions@ashevillehumane.org to arrange to meet these special kitties!
