Notes from A Welcome Home Animal Rescue
Meet Gum Drop — A Sweetheart in Need of a Loving Foster! NOTHING Beats an Orange Tabby Cat! All around the best!
Seriously, this little guy is ADORABLE! Gum Drop is as sweet as his name suggests, and he’s been through a lot. He used to wait patiently with his ginger buddy, Sal, at an apartment complex for the kind person who came daily to feed the feral cats. Sadly, Gum Drop's life was in real danger — a group of young boys had started harassing the cats last week, jumping fence, tying rope and small chains around the friendly cats among the group, and the cat feeder truly feared they would have killed him (and buddy Sal) if they’d had the chance. She yelled and they ran, but she does not know their names. She saw them back a second time and yelled again and threated to call the police!! He had a tough life, fighting for survival, and now we want him to have a wonderful life!
Thankfully, we got he out in time and into our rescue program temporarily for safety. Now, we need a kind and compassionate foster to help him take the next step toward a better life.
About Gum Drop:
11 lbs of love and fluff - NOTHING BETTER THAN AN ORANGE TABBY
FIV-positive, but very healthy, good healthy mouth, great temperament, easy to handle and low maintenance! FIV cats can live LONG normal lives. Big LAP sitter; you can barely get up once he settles in!
A little food-obsessed (he didn’t always have enough); so CANNOT let him get overweight! LOL! Lived with other cats and was the first to the bowl!
Sweet, gentle, and craving affection
Currently, Gum Drop is being kept in a huge dog crate (all we have!)— not ideal for a boy who deserves to stretch out, run around, and feel safe. We are urgently looking to move him into a loving foster home where he can decompress and blossom.
All expenses are covered — food, litter, vet care, everything! You just provide the love.
If you can open your heart and home to Gum Drop, even temporarily, please reach out. He’s ready to love you back tenfold.
Let’s get this sweet boy out of the crate and into comfort — where he belongs.
