WYN

Bring-Home-A-Brat-Cat, aka the Troublemaker Transfer Project, aka I-Just-Want-To-Live-Alone-Is-That-Too-Much-To-Ask Proposal Introducing our innovative, one-of-a-kind placement program for our captivating cats that prefer to fly solo! Let’s face the facts that all of us in the wild world of rescue are all too familiar: some of the individuals that end up in our facility will more than likely end up as lifelong residents due to quirks and less than desirable qualities that have surfaced during their stays with us thus far at Crash’s. We currently have 2 CATegories: There is a special group of cats we have known as Purrmanent Residents that aren’t up for fostering or adoption due to either behavior or bad habits that have been refractory to treatment. However, these kitties are SO sweet and otherwise pure perfection, so we have opted to let them live out their lives with us: Fawn Moscato, Kissy, and Whopper Jr. make up the terrific trifecta of kitties with litterbox issues. We also have a few gorgeous guys and gals that unfortunately have significant medical conditions that prevent us from placing them on the adoption platform. They require daily medications, frequent veterinary visits, and more intense monitoring than your average pussycat: Benitoe has heart disease and has a history of urinating outside of the box. Bernice has a seizure disorder (and is blind, that that doesn’t stop her from doing anything and everything she wants!) Aloysius, Mantis and Raymond Burr have CKD (chronic kidney disease). Brice, Dean, Polly, Virginnia (the last of the Claws clowder), Babbo Natale and Lord Farquaad are still pretty much semi-feral, tolerating us only because they must, but have bonded so well with one another and have taken full advantage of their comfy surroundings (despite their disdain for humans). The participants of this program are few and far between, thankfully, but cats that have shown us that our free-roaming shelter is not their ideal living sitch. We are confident that by placing each of these cats into homes specifically catering to their emotional needs, individually they are going to turn over a new leaf and finally be able to relax and reach their full potential. In fact, we are offering a pretty darn good proposal for approved adopters who may be interested in something completely unconventional: No adoption fee. No money down. No cash will exchange hands (er, paws). We should pay you! All veterinary visits will be covered (at Feline Wellness Center) for two years post-adoption, and everything will be up to date before bags are packed and travel arrangements made. And you get the satisfaction of realizing that you personally and positively changed the life of a cat who has gotten overlooked - or has chosen to look the other way when adopters come by - simply because he doesn't feel comfortable in the living situation, he has found himself in, through no fault of his own.

He was ALL boy when he arrived on 3-4-24. ~Even though he has been snipped, that testosterone influence tends to get the best of him (even though it is long-gone by now). ~Although he is THE SWEETEST BOY when he is off by himself, he is a fighter (not a flight-er) and is ready to throw down and a second’s notice. In fact, if there isn’t any action taking place he can get involved with, he will stalk another male until tempers rise and trouble abounds. Sometimes he gets the snot kicked outta him, other times he is the victim, but always fur flies – and we can’t have that. I was a victim of his redirected aggression once: a cat in the same room yowled loudly for some reason, and Wyn grabbed onto my leg and chomped down in multiple places. As soon as the bellowing stopped, it was like a flip switched in his head, he recognized what he was doing, let go, and wandered off like nothing ever happened. We were immediately best friends again (although I admit my feelings were a bit hurt). ~Since he can’t play nice with other cats, he NEEDS to be the only cat. ~He thrives on human attention and reciprocates with enthusiasm; he has NEVER been a jerk towards anybody – volunteer or visitor - and is one of our friendliest residents. ~He can’t be adopted into a home with the type of chaos children can bring to the table, and we don’t feel small dogs would be ideal either. If you have a lot of windows and a neighborhood of wandering cats, then considering him is a no-go. ~He was recently diagnosed with an underlying heart condition, but it is not symptomatic at this time, and he isn’t currently on any medication. He may require meds in the future – time will tell. ~Wyn is the perfect example of being able to take a cat off the streets, but not being able to take away that street mentality, where it is survival of the fittest. Anti-anxiety medication has just been started, which he shouldn’t need outside of our shelter setting, but until then, he gets his daily dose of ‘slow-your-roll’ in capsule form. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soooooo, if you aren’t running away with your tail between your legs yet, if you deem yourself a glutton for punishment, or just feel like throwing caution to the wind with one of the intriguing and unusual cats, let us know! Maybe you are the type that roots for anti-hero, or simply like a challenge – who are we to judge?
