Practice safe Rex: spay, neuter and rescue.


Cornish Rex (& friends) that need homes

Last updated on Oct. 3, 2011

Please contact me if you know of any Cornish Rex, Devon Rex or Sphynx that need rescuing. I get so many requests that it is impossible to personally notify anyone so I ask that you to please bookmark this page and check it frequently.

Athena
Dallas, TX

AthenaAthenaAthena is about 10 years old.  She was dumped in a kill shelter when her human went into a nursing home.  Very sweet and loving, she just purrs and purrs when you touch her.  She enjoys cuddling and sitting on shoulders. She wags her tail like a dog and loves to play.   

Athena is spayed, front-declawed, microchipped and current on her vaccinations.  Her teeth have been cleaned recently. She has great litter box habits. 

She does well with children and cat-friendly dogs.  We'll first consider homes within a day's drive of Dallas. If the right match isn't there for her, we'll expand out to shipping distance.  

Please contact Lisa for more information or submit an adoption application for her. 9/25/11

Mowgli & Dickens
Los Angeles, CA

Mowgli & DickensMowgli & DickensMowgli and Dickens are a bonded pair of blue-eyed boys.  Dickens is  flame point and white, Mowgli is chocolate-lynx point and white.  They are 6-8 years old.  Both boys are incredibly sweet.  They love to cuddle with each other, cat-friendly dogs and other laid-back cats.  They do well with cat-respectful children.   

Both boys are neutered and up-to-date on their vaccines.  They have great litter box habits. 

We'd prefer if these boys were first in a foster home.  Our fosters help us evaluate cats' personalities, habits and general health.  We pay all pre-approved and emergency vet costs and can provide a small stipend for food and litter if needed.  We are always available for questions via phone or email.  If a great match, fosters have first chance at adopting the cat.

We'll first consider homes within a few hours' drive of Los Angeles.  If the right match isn't found, we'll expand out to shipping distance.  

Please contact Lisa for more information or submit an adoption application for them. 9/25/11

Krissa and Sylvester
Cleveland, OH



Two cornish rex cats: one female, Krissa (top), and one male, Sylvester (bottom). Krissa and Sylvester are 8-year-old half brother and sister and were born three days apart.
 
Krissa is very sweet and can seem somewhat shy at first, although this is usually because of her overbearing brother Sylvester (if he's out of the room, she quickly becomes the star). Krissa loves to spend her afternoons basking in the sun. Krissa does have some medical issues.  She has seizures which are well-controlled with daily medication.  She also has a chronic cystitis which also requires daily medication. Both meds are inexpensive.  She will usually come when called to take these pills (with ease) before bedtime, with a treat afterwards, of course! Krissa does have some litter box issues, and retraining is necessary periodically.
 
Sylvester is very active and tries to steal all of the attention, all of the time!  Sylvester loves to watch chipmunks and squirrels outside and runs from window to window to try to catch them!  He likes to chase Krissa around the house for fun, at least he thinks so!  He likes to climb, and in his younger years would actually climb up and sit on top of the bathroom door!  He does not have any medical or litter box issues, but also enjoys a treat after Krissa takes her pills!
 
Krissa and Sylvester love to nap together wrapped up in a fleece blanket. In the winter they spend most of their time laying in front of the heater and in the summer they spend most of their time laying in the sun. They are still very active and like to play ball. They would love to snuggle up with their new owner at bedtime, or anytime for that matter!  Krissa and Sylvester are very friendly cats, they love people and demand attention! Please contact Greta for more information.
