ā€¼ļøStatement from Critical Memphis Page Admins:
We are Not the shelter. Our page raises pledges to attract and help 501c3 rescues. If you pledge on a dog, once an approved 501c3 pet placement partner (rescue) commits and pulls the dog that you pledged for, we put donors and rescue into a group message. You will then donate directly to the rescue- for that particular dog.
If the dog is adopted (or sadly, euthanized) no pledges are collected.

Hiā€¦ Iā€™m Michael.

Iā€™m a black Bombay boy with a big heart, and for a while, I didnā€™t have a place to belong.

I used to hang around a house where everything smelled warm and safe. I would sit by the door and hope maybe ā€” just maybe ā€” someone would let me inside. I tried so hard to make friends with the kitty who lived there. I was gentle. I was patient. I even tried little chirps and soft purrs to show her I meant no harm.

But she hated me.
Really, truly hated me.

No matter what I did, she chased me, hissed at me, and made sure I knew I wasnā€™t welcome. I didnā€™t understand why. I just wanted a friend. I just wanted a home.

The human who lived there was kind to me, though. She could see that I was trying, and she worried ā€” really worried ā€” that her kitty might hurt me. She said I deserved so much more than fear and cold nights outside. And one day, she reached out for helpā€¦ and everything changed.

I was brought to a foster home filled with kindness. And guess what?
Thereā€™s a kitty here who actually likes me ā€” and I love her right back. I finally have a friend! We play, nap, and share space without anyone trying to chase me away. It feels so good, I canā€™t even put it into words.

Thatā€™s why Iā€™ll need at least one friendly kitty in my forever home. Iā€™ve learned that Iā€™m happiest when I have another cat to love.

Iā€™ve also learned that Iā€™m really good at being indoors. My foster mom says Iā€™m a perfect gentleman ā€” clean, polite, and truly grateful. I love people so much. I love being close, cuddling into soft blankets, leaning into hands that pet me, and rubbing my head against the people who make me feel safe.

I guess thatā€™s what happens when youā€™ve known lonelinessā€¦ you treasure love extra hard.
Iā€™m handsome, they say ā€” shiny black fur, bright eyes ā€” and sometimes I act a little silly just to make my humans laugh. A goofy flop here, a playful twirl thereā€¦ it feels good to be happy again.

But even with all this joy, a part of me still wonders when it will be my turn.
When someone will choose me ā€” forever.
When Iā€™ll finally hear the door open and know that Iā€™m home for good, not just visiting.

Iā€™ve waited a long time for that feeling.
If you have love to giveā€¦ if you have a friendly kitty who wouldnā€™t mind a gentle sweetheart like meā€¦ if you want a cuddly boy who will adore you with his whole heartā€¦

Then maybe ā€” just maybe ā€” Iā€™m the one youā€™ve been looking for, too.

Love,
Michael šŸ–¤

Why should I get a cat from rescue?

Please donate through [email protected]

What benefits do I get when my cat comes from a rescue? Most rescue cats have been in foster homes. This means we know a bit about their quirks and how they do with other animals. Are you looking for a lap cat? A loud purr? A cat that walks on a harness or plays fetch? Most fosters are more than happy to fill you in on what the cat/kittenā€™s quirks are.

Rescue cats and kittens are also treated for intestinal parasites, tested for feline viruses, current on vaccines, and on flea and heartworm prevention. They usually have had some time to show if they are going to have an illness so you can bring a healthy animal into your house.

Rescue kittens are also adoptable on a trial basis. If you get your new baby home and it clearly isn't a fit, you can bring them back. We will also go over how to introduce your new kitten/cat and how to work through issues.
