Help Name These Cats & Shelter Update
When it rains it pours and it’s raining cats at my local shelter. When I last updated about the hoarder rescue they were getting down to under 50 cats but the other day someone dumped 15 more cats at the New Rochelle Humane. They were unsocialized, in rough shape with lots of eye infections. The entire shelter staff and volunteers are working as hard as they can but it’s been so busy with vetting, many of the cats don’t even have names yet. I visited yesterday to work with as many cats as I could but they are full, full, full. The adoptable cats are in a cage-free room but the rest are in various rooms nooks and crannies in cages. I won’t mention the dogs, ferrets or rabbits. PLEASE share and crosspost on Facebook, Google +. The images can be pinned individually on Pinterest.
It’s a good thing it’s Adopt-A Shelter Cat Month because we need to make space. Every adoption or foster home frees up a cage and allows me more time to focus on helping the less adoptable cats. I fell for this one-eyed boy. He’s one of three cats too fearful to move from the back of the crate yet.
In one small room without any natural light an occupant named Hans is itching to leave. He’s a delightful orange tabby and the most vocal of the bunch wanting out.
Not everyone clamored to get out. The one that surprised me was Zelda. She’s one of the older ones rescued. It took some coaxing but she stepped down out of her cage like a Grande Dame for a quick look see. I’m optimistic happy golden years are ahead for this dear girl.
Hey clever cat lovers, help name these cats. There are actually two pairs with similar markings (male and female)
If I dare have a favorite it may be this gray boy who graced my original PSA poster from this report about the rescue. Considering everything he’s endured he’s a trooper and quite the character. He has a movie star charisma, not like a Brad Pitt but maybe a Humphrey Bogart. A little rumpled but debonair. Here’s looking at you kid!

The Island Cats

I’m partial to literary names. I’d name the Siamese “Shakespeare” and “Marlowe”. My Shakespeare was a pet store rescue. He had an eye infection when we wandered in to look, but not take home, a cat. The store owner said because of the infection, he couldn’t sell him. If we wanted him, he was free. He lived to be 19 before going over the Rainbow Bridge.
“Twain” and “Dickens” are good cat names, too. In college, I knew a professor who had three cats and named them “Charlotte”, “Emily” and “Bronte”.

I was thinking of Marlowe for the gray one or one of the many other new gray ones.

Caramel and Corny for the meezers?
Layla Morgan Wilde

How about something interesting like Nazario (italian) or Feldspar (just because) or Guy LaFurrr after our film? We hope they find a home! Love, Crepes.
Layla Morgan Wilde
That’s a great idea. I can find one that reminds me of Guy LaFurr!
Tamago
I thought about names for 14364A and 14395A (it’s really sad to call them by number) and got Marron and Bleu. I hope they will find both great names and forever homes!
Layla Morgan Wilde
I like French names too.
Kathryn
The are beautiful. Not very imaginative for names, but
Snow / Sparkle for the Siamese
And Silver or Shadow for the gray one.
Kathryn
oh and Marmalade or Colby for the ginger?
Layla Morgan Wilde
I was thinking of more cheese names so Colby is great.
Skeeter and Izzy
We send our love and purrs to each kitty. We pray for furever homes for all. Thank you again Layla and please thank the wonderful folks at the shelter and any of the fosters that you might encounter. Please give each kitty a scritch or two from us and tell them we are purring and praying like crazy and that we love them. Zelda looks like Peanut!

You’re doing a great job, Layla. I hope it pays off in many adoptions and forever homes.

I hope they all will find a good home, after all what they had to bear. I will share it on FB, maybe the one who has a home will see it.

It is so sad to think of the terrible lives those cats have had to endure. Every one of them deserves a good life in a loving home.
Coccolino
These poor sweet things. Really hope they find some loving homes. We are going to a shelter later to drop some things off and it always depresses me.
By the way, hope you are doing okay. Big hugs and piggy kisses your way AND thank you for your heads up on the comment luv!

Poor babies…my sweet Pickles was a rescue I did from a hoarder…walking in to a hoarders house is one of the things that will haunt me forever…lucky to be alive my Pickles is proof a better life exists…will gladly share… Fozziemum
Layla Morgan Wilde (Cat Wisdom 101)
I didn’t know that about Pickles! Yes, it’s proof a beeter life can exist. And Pickles is a cute name.
Sammy
These cats have a chance for a good life and I hope if we all share their stories homes can be found for all of them…..my heart always breaks when I see the survivors of these situations right after they’re rescued – then to see them adjusting and getting ready to “move on” – it’s magic. I’m praying for all of them….and for some “rescue angels” to come forward and help them find forever happiness too.
Hugs, Pam (and Sam)
Sparkle
Paws crossed for ALL these kitties to find homes! It’s late here on the West Coast and even later where you are – so I’ll do some sharing tomorrow!
