If you’ve ever been owned by a cat, you know how mysterious they can be. Or are they? Could it be we just don’t know how to speak cat? If you’ve ever wanted to know just what your cat is trying to tell you, this fun, interactive presentation is for you! Learn all the ways cats clearly communicate with their humans……..and in so many ways other than through their meows and purrs! Join Whiskers Pet Rescue at the Oxford Public Library on Tuesday November 10th from 6-7 for What’s Your Cat Trying to Tell You? And of course meet a few Whiskers kitties in the process! Limited seating, must sign up! Click link at bottom of post.

We love when our kitties make friends in their new homes. All it generally takes is a little time……and patience. And sometimes not even much of that! From Claire’s adopter: “Hi! We wanted to share Daffodil (now Claire) has been an absolute sweetheart and wonderful addition to our family! Her and Khloe who we adopted in May have been great playmates together.” Happy Lives sweet girls❤️

Who is THIS incredible hunk of tabby over at Whiskers TOO?!

It's Goose!

Goose has been hiding in plain sight over at our cage-free building, right across from the main building. This 7-year-old charmer patiently waited his turn for attention (beautiful, sweet-as-sugar Capri and amazingly awkward Otie are his roomies), but when the spotlight is given to him, well, you see how he reacts - be still my heart! 💘

And I (the volunteer writing this) will point out - this was my FIRST time meeting him! Run - don't walk - to come meet Goose and make him yours!

Hi, I’m Misty Jane! I’m a sweet, beautiful 1-year-old girl looking for a family to love me forever.

I should settle into most homes with a proper introduction. With my adorable face and loving heart, I’m ready to bring so much joy to your days. All I need is someone to choose me!

REDUCED ADOPTION FEE to help Milton find a home!

I’m Milton, a very sweet 1 1/2 yr old boy with a big heart and an even bigger love for food! Treats are definitely the way to win me over, and I’d love someone who might teach me a few fun tricks in exchange for my favorite snacks.

But lately, I’ve been feeling really sad and depressed that I’m still here waiting. The volunteers give me love, but I’m longing for a home and someone to call my own. It’s hard watching other kitties leave with their families and wondering when it will finally be my turn.

I’m FIV+. Some people choose to mix FIV+ and FIV- cats because the chances of transmission are low—but not zero—once cats are fixed and don’t fight. After talking with your vet, that decision is entirely up to you. FIV is not contagious to people or dogs, and it doesn’t mean I’m sick. My immune system may need extra support, so staying indoors and getting regular veterinary care helps me stay healthy. FIV+ cats can live long, happy lives filled with love.

I have so much affection to give. Please give me a chance to show you what a wonderful little companion I can be. I’m ready for my waiting days to end and our happily-ever-after to begin.
