Meet Victor.

If you only pay attention to the right side of his face, Victor looks pretty good for a senior gentleman.

The left side, however, has been having a rough time.

Victor came to us from one of our Wyoming shelter transfer partners with a completely cauliflowered ear, likely the result of old trauma or years of scratching at untreated ear mites. But that wasn't even the worst of it.

Victor had an abscessed tooth that had become so severe it literally ate through part of his jaw and created a draining hole in his chin.

We know. We cringed too.

Thankfully, Victor was whisked into surgery shortly after arriving and had the offending tooth removed. He's already feeling much better, but he's not out of the woods yet. This sweet old man is severely underweight, dehydrated, and anemic. Right now, his treatment plan consists of antibiotics, fluids, rest, and approximately one million calories.

(Okay, maybe not a million. But he's certainly trying.)

The good news is that we expect Victor to make a full recovery with time and proper care. The better news is that despite everything he's been through, Victor is still an absolute sweetheart.

Please help us welcome Victor to Second Chance with some well-wishes as he begins his healing journey.

If you'd like to help cover Victor's dental surgery, medications, and ongoing care, donations are always appreciated. Every dollar helps us give cats like Victor the second chance they deserve.

Cordelia arrived at SCSCR pregnant and terrified. The first day with us, she just curled herself into a tiny ball and tried to disappear. After a while, I convinced her that nobody was going to hurt her. I wrapped her in a purrito, carried her to the office, and she spent the next 30 minutes sitting in my lap eating treats while I did paperwork. I kissed her head and scratched her chin.

No aggression or drama. Just a scared little cat who finally felt safe.

That night, Cordelia gave birth to three beautiful, healthy kittens, and everything changed.

Friends, Cordelia is SCARY.

If you so much as glance in the direction of her babies, she transforms into a tiny black dragon. We are talking growling, hissing, spitting, and launching herself at the kennel door with enough enthusiasm to make you question your life choices.

Don't look at her babies. Don't touch her babies.

Don't even think about her babies.

For three weeks, we gave her space. Eventually, she started calming down. She still growled and hissed, but she stopped trying to commit murder every time someone walked past her kennel. We were finally able to start weighing and handling the kittens for socialization.

Then Goober arrived.

Goober is a fluffy orange orphan with a bad eye. One of our staff members had been bottle-feeding him and nursing him back to health, but he needed a feline family to teach him how to be a cat.

We were cautiously optimistic that Cordelia might accept him.

Well. Cordelia is now completely convinced she personally gave birth to Goober approximately five minutes ago.

He is her baby. He has always been her baby. Anyone suggesting otherwise is spreading dangerous misinformation.

The result is that we are back to full demon status.

The good news is that Goober now has a loving mother, siblings to wrestle with, and a family of his own. He is thriving.

The bad news is that none of us are allowed to touch him for the foreseeable future without risking our lives.

So, if anyone has experience with feline postpartum psychosis, please let us know.

Because Cordelia is absolutely terrifying. 😹

And it takes a LOT to scare us!

When Momma Myrtle arrived with her eight newborn kittens, we thought finding homes for them would be easy. And for six of them, it was! Most were spoken for before they even had teeth.

But somehow, Avalon and Byron are still waiting.

These sweet brothers have watched all of their siblings leave while they remained behind. As the last two kittens in the kennel, they've become incredibly close, spending their days wrestling, napping, and exploring side by side.

We honestly can't figure out why no one has put a hold on them yet. They're adorable, playful, affectionate, and full of personality. The only thing they're missing is a family of their own.

We would love to see Avalon and Byron stay together. Their combined adoption fee is just $100.

Apply today at sheridancatrescue.org/adopt and help these two brothers write the perfect ending to their story. ❤️

Poor Vulcan thought he had his happily-ever-after all figured out.

Unfortunately, his recent adoption didn't work out. Vulcan is still very much a kitten at heart, and his enthusiasm for play was a little too much for the resident cat in the home. Nobody did anything wrong, it just wasn't the right match.

What we've learned is that Vulcan needs a family that appreciates his unique approach to life, which can best be described as: FULL SPEED AHEAD.

This handsome boy is playful, energetic, curious, and always looking for his next adventure. He would thrive in a home that can provide plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention.

And if there's another young, active cat in the home? Even better. Vulcan would love a feline friend who enjoys a good wrestling match and can keep up with his endless supply of energy. He isn't looking for someone to politely coexist with, he's looking for a partner in crime.

The good news is that being returned hasn't dampened Vulcan's spirit one bit. He's still the same goofy, lovable, resilient cat who survived a house fire, charmed everyone he met, and refuses to let life get him down.

This weekend, Vulcan is hanging out at Petco, hoping the right family walks through the door.

If your home could use a little more laughter, a little more chaos, and a whole lot of love, come meet Vulcan. He promises to keep life interesting. Just maybe hide your breakables and make sure his future kitty sibling is ready to rumble. 😸

Meet Marcella and Dorinda!

These beautiful twin sisters are looking for their third chance at happily ever after.

When they first came to us, their owner was living out of her car and made the heartbreaking decision to surrender them because she knew they deserved more stability than she could provide. The girls were adopted quickly and spent more than a year in a home of their own before life took another turn and they found themselves back at SCSCR.

When they returned, Marcella and Dorinda were frightened and overwhelmed. They spent nearly a month hiding, unsure of their new surroundings and keeping close to one another for comfort. But with time, patience, and a lot of love, these girls have completely come out of their shells.

Now? They're thriving.

At just 2 years old, Marcella and Dorinda spend their days chasing each other through the adoption center, playing with toys, demanding attention, and making us laugh with their goofy antics. Wherever one sister goes, the other is never far behind. Their bond is truly something special.

They've had two homes already, but we're hoping the third time is the charm.

Marcella and Dorinda deserve a family that will love them for the rest of their lives. If you're looking for double the companionship, double the entertainment, and double the love, these sisters are waiting to meet you.

Happy International Picnic Day from Mildred, who would very much like to know why she has not yet been invited to yours. 🧺☀️

Mildred came to us from another shelter after showing up as a stray. This sweet senior girl had clearly been through a lot, and her poor mouth was in terrible shape. She was in desperate need of a dental, and we can only imagine how long she had been living with that kind of pain.

But now? Mildred feels SO much better, and she is ready for the good life.

These days, Mildred spends a lot of her time gazing longingly out the front door, dreaming of sunshine, fresh air, and important outdoor lady activities. Of course, at her age, we do not want her living as an outdoor cat again. What we do want is a safe home where she can enjoy the best parts of the outside world: a sunny window, a securely fenced backyard, and humans who will let her supervise gardening from a warm patch of grass.

Mildred is not asking for much. Just a soft landing, a little sunshine, and someone who understands that every picnic needs a senior cat guest of honor.

Remember Cheese?

Two months ago, this sweet boy arrived in our care covered in painful mats from head to toe. We spent hours carefully shaving him, giving him breaks when he needed them, and helping him feel comfortable in his own skin again. Then came his dental, where we removed the broken and infected teeth that had been causing him so much pain.

Today, Cheese feels like a million bucks.

His fur is growing back. His mouth no longer hurts. He's discovering just how good it feels to be safe, comfortable, and loved.

Now Cheese is ready for the next chapter: finding a family of his own.

The challenge is that Cheese isn't the kind of cat who marches up to visitors and demands attention. While other cats are busy showing off, Cheese hangs back and watches from a safe distance. He's still learning that new people can be trusted, and that means he gets overlooked again and again.

What Cheese needs is someone willing to see past the shy exterior.

He is looking for a quiet home with patient people who understand that trust takes time. He doesn't need someone to force affection on him. He needs someone who will let him move at his own pace, celebrate the small victories, and give him the space to become the cat he's meant to be.

We've already watched Cheese make incredible progress. We know there is a wonderful cat hiding behind those nervous eyes. The right family just has to give him the chance to show them.

If you think you might be that family, apply to adopt at sheridancatrescue.org/adopt.

And if you can't adopt, please share. The shy ones deserve happy endings too. ❤️

We need your help.

May was a rough month for adoptions. We had just 9 cats go home, compared to the roughly 30 adoptions we typically see in a month.

Part of that story is actually wonderful news. Many of our kittens were put on hold before they were even old enough to leave their moms, and we couldn't be happier that so many little ones already have families waiting for them. Kittens absolutely deserve loving homes, too.

The problem is that while the kittens were getting all the attention, our adult cats were largely passed over.

Right now, we have reached a point where we need to stop intake until more adult cats find homes. Every adult cat means more food, more litter, more cleaning, more medical care, and more staff time. Until we can reduce our population, we simply can't say yes to as many cats who need our help.

To help encourage adoption, all fees for cats age 2 years and older are FREE for the remainder of June!

One of those cats is Harmony.

Harmony came to us after her owner was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Through no fault of her own, she lost the home and person she loved. Next month she turns 7 years old, and we would love nothing more than to see her celebrate that birthday in a home instead of with us.

Adult cats have so much to offer. Their personalities are already established. They are past the whirlwind kitten stage but still have years of love, companionship, and entertainment ahead of them. Many arrived here because of circumstances completely outside their control: an owner became ill, passed away, lost housing, or faced a life change that made keeping a beloved pet impossible.

Every adopter must still complete our adoption application and go through our normal approval process. We are looking for great homes, not just fast homes. If you've been thinking about adding a cat to your family, this is the perfect time to take a second look at the adults. Applications are available at sheridancatrescue.org/adopt.

If you aren't able to adopt but would like to help, please consider making a donation to offset the cost of this promotion at sheridancatrescue.org/donate.

Please share and help us find homes for cats like Harmony. ❤️
