ICHS Top Ten List Our special residents who have been here a while and would love to find their forever home with you! # 1 VEGAS, October 2009 – Vegas is a front-declawed lady with a “catitude” – but she is a Calico so that explains it!! She does well with some cats, but being an only cat might be best and she does need a quiet household. Vegas can be friendly but she is ‘CHOOSY’ about who she gets close to! Vegas was abandoned in an empty apartment for several weeks prior to coming to ICHS so it may take a while for her to decide that YOU are worthy of “her highness”! ☺ #2 HORTON December 2009 – Handsome Horton must be an only cat since he doesn’t get along with other cats – but not to worry - because he’s the only cat YOU will need! He loves people and is very playful (probably too rough for young children). Horton has spent most of his 5 years at ICHS so he may need YOUR patience in helping him adjust to life away from the shelter! The question remains – why is Horton on the Top Ten List? Give Horton a chance! #3 KENDRA May 2010 – Kendra got off to a rough start at ICHS! She didn’t especially like people because she associated people with eye drops – she needed eye surgery. Since having surgery, her temperament has much improved – however she can be a bit “feisty” when she needs to go back to her cage. Away from her cage – Kendra is friendly and affectionate! Kendra does get along with some cats, but may prefer to be YOUR only kitty! #4 JACK (aka SMUDGE) August 2010 – Smudge was adopted but sadly (through no fault of his own), has been returned. Smudge is a friendly 6-7 year old “one-ring circus” – being both a clown and an ‘acrocat’. He loves to be the center of attention. Now that he’s back, he’s all set to perform for YOU! #5 MISS KITTY April 2012 – It is hard to believe that such a delightful kitty would make the Top Ten List – much less #5!!! Miss Kitty is a young, friendly (although independent – surprised by that? Hey, she’s a cat!), beautiful, playful lady who gets along fine with other kitties – what more could YOU possibly ask for when looking for a kitty? This “all around purrfect” lady is waiting for YOU to realize what an amazing cat YOU are about to get to fall in love with! #6 MING July 12 – Ming is just “Ming” – that’s the best way to describe him. He kind of does his own thing – friendly one day and independent the next. He seeks attention until you get him out of his cage and then he has his own agenda – exploring, playing (depending on his mood) and whatever... Ming may not be begging for attention 24-7, but for busy “cat people” that can be a plus! Get to know this handsome gray guy today! www.ichs.net Iowa County Humane Society (608)935-1381 1 ICHS Top Ten List Our special residents who have been here a while and would love to find their forever home with you! #7 BRIDGET October 2012 - Because Bridget came to ICHS as a “semiferal” teenager; she never received the early handling and necessary socialization that she needed to develop into a loving and lovable kitty. This beauty is not “unfriendly”, but she prefers that when YOU visit the kitties in Larry’s Living Room that YOU pay attention to the other cats and just admire her from afar! She will do fine once she is away from the shelter, but she will need a quiet home and YOUR patience until she figures out what she has been missing – that would be YOU! #8 SWEETIE October 2012 – Sweetie is a shy, young lady. Sweetie came to ICHS as a kitten but never received the early socialization that was needed to help her develop into a loving and trusting kitty! She has come so far but needs YOU to provide the love, the attention and the home needed to help her become the “sweetheart” that she obviously was destined to be! Really – why else would she have been dubbed “Sweetie”? She simply needs a quiet home and YOU! #9 TANGO April 13 - Tango has come a long way – she hid under her blankets for several weeks when first coming to ICHS. She now seeks attention and a family. She needs a quiet home, continued patience and YOU! Tango has several buddies at ICHS that she frequently curls up with. She would probably even be happy to share YOU with one of her “buds”! #10 POPPER April 13 - Popper is a shy, quiet guy. He has feline friends at the shelter, so he would love a home with them. He is still a little shy of people, so a home without boisterous children would be ideal. He is looking for a place that will allow him the time to adjust, as well as somewhere with ample love to give! #11 LIMBO May 13 All I want to do is play! I dare you to tire me out first. Bells and strings drive me crazy-in the best way! When I'm done playing, I would love a big window to sit and watch the birds and squirrels! I do have FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but it can't hold me back! My immune system may be slightly weakened, but if you keep me inside I can stay very healthy for a long time to come! Come play with me today!! #12 GREGORY May 13 - Gregory is a surrendered Kitty with a shy personality. Gentle and independent. Although he can be a "lap-cat extraordinaire" there are times when he prefers his solitude. Gregory is FELV & FIV positive. So if you want one cat Gregory is the gentleman for you. Please note- Must be kept indoors. Can live a normal and healthy life for years. www.ichs.net Iowa County Humane Society (608)935-1381 2
