A home for every cat
If you find a cat, there's a good chance you can find a loving home for it if you are willing to do the legwork. We hope that you will keep the cat that you have found, but if you can't, here you'll find information about how to find a good home for a cat. But first, meet Chiquita Belle, a cat who found a home against the odds. If she can find a home, any cat can.
Meet Chiquita Belle
My name is Belle (formely Chiquita). I was adopted through Long Beach Felines in December 2006. This is me a year later.
I am six years old and the doctor said that I must have suffered a stroke. As a result, my hind legs were paralyzed, and I do not have any control over my bathroom habits. I didn't think I had much of a chance at being adopted - not many people want to take on the responsibilities of a special-needs cat. Luckily, I was adopted by a wonderful family who wanted to give something special to the world, and in their loving care, I've regained some of my ability to walk. My bathroom problem has been solved because I wear disposable diapers 24-7. This allows me free access around my house. (I am very patient with this process because I understand the need for the diapers. I recommend this for any other cat that has the same problem as me!)
I'm so happy I found a home with people who understand me. I knew they were out there - it was just a question of finding them! My new parents are my "Love Slaves." They adore me! As you can see from my picture, I am very content.
