Our Special Needs Pets At Saving Paws, we believe ALL pets are worth saving. Part of our mission is to help special needs pets find new forever homes – whether it be with new adoptive families, or with us. The following special needs pets each have a unique story.

	Tuff - Please help! Tuff is a Sweetheart of a boy who had a rough start to life before coming to Saving Paws. He was rescued from a lumber yard parking lot as a young kitten with severe ear mites and an upper respiratory infection. He has had numerous ear infections that we have found is due to a polyp deep in his ear canal. Tuff needs surgery done by a specialist that will cost approxiamtely $2,200 or he will continue to get ear infections and get daily ear medicine. Tuff tested positive for FIV which means that he cannot be in contact with others kitties unless they are FIV+ also. Please see the note below about FIV Cats for more details on the disease. He is also already neutered, absolutely LOVES kisses, and will reach for you so you can pick him up. This wonderful boy would love to shower his affection on you for years to come. Will you give him a chance and help Tuff get his surgery? 5/5/09 UPDATE from foster mom: Tuff is doing well but still continues to get ear infections monthly. He keeps trying to attack the Q-tip container so I can't clean his ears anymore!! He loves to be close to me and tries to "help" me with everything.

	Bob Need lots of love? Bob sure would love to share his love with you! Bob is an incredibly loving, sweet boy who is looking for that special someone to shower his affection on! Bob is a beautiful medium hair black and gray tiger who is a big sweet loverboy! He is about 2 years old. Bob was diagnosed with feline leukemia, but we think he deserves to have a loving home anyways, as kitties can live for quite awhile with leukemia, they just need extra special care (not to be let outside, not to be exposed to the elements, etc. so they don’t get sick). He is already neutered, so he’s ready to come home with you now and love you to pieces!

	Buddy Loving, laid back, relaxed snuggle bug seeks forever companion! Buddy is a happy-go-lucky loverboy who would love to love you! He is a nice, relaxed boy who has beautiful orange and white tiger coloring, he is just adorable. He is about 3 years old. Buddy was diagnosed with feline leukemia, but we think he deserves to have a loving home anyways, as kitties can live for quite awhile with leukemia, they just need extra special care (not to be let outside, not to be exposed to the elements, etc. so they don’t get sick). He is also already neutered. This wonderful boy would love to shower his affection on you, will you give him a chance?

	Sunnie Sunnie is a beautiful shorthair orange and white kitty who is sweet little girl! She is a little shy at first but once she sniffs you and you give her a couple pets she warms up to you quickly and then just wants more love and affection and pets. Sunnie has deformed front paws that are twisted around, we think it was a birth defect, but this doesn’t stop her from getting around just fine! She will not be able to be declawed. Sunnie is about a year and a half old and is already spayed. She just wants a warm lap to snuggle up on. She would do best in a quiet home as the only pet. This wonderful sweetheart would love to bring you joy and laughter for years to come!

	FYI About FIV Cats We often have FIV positive cats in our care. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a rare disease that affects under 3% of the US cat population. It is essentially kitty AIDS and affects the kitty’s immune system. However, kitties with FIV can live for years as carriers of this disease and never be affected by it – especially if they are indoor-only kitties who are not exposed to the dangers and elements of the outdoors. We believe all pets are worth saving, even if they have diseases like FIV, which is why we believe all pets deserve a loving new home. FIV is only spread to other kitties through bite wounds, so it would be rare he could pass it to another house cat. For more information on FIV in cats, please visit the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
