Kittens Born: Christmas Eve, Dec 24, 2023

Cupid- . Male. White with orange.

This is a SPECIAL KITTY for us. We spent thousands of dollars and lots of hours of driving back and forth to a surgeon in Texas to save his life. Cupid was born with a rare chest deformity (pectus excavatum) where his sternum turned inward. Without surgery, he'd of had to room for this heart and such to grow. We took him to a surgeon in Dallas where they were able to fit Cupid with a chest plate. Sutures wrapped from the plate, under his sternum, and back to the plate, to help pull the sternum outward. After months and months of xrays and check ups, Cupid eventually had his plate removed.(WOOHOO) Then, we had to treat the skin infection it created. His surgeon said the plate did the trick and helped give his chest cavity more room. Cupid is FINALLY ready for adoption!!!! This boy has so many people that love him deeply. Help us find him the perfect home where he is treasured.

Good with other kitties and is around a 10yr old child and a dog. Playful. One of his adopted siblings totes around stuffed animals, haha! They are an amusing bunch. Uses litter box. Enjoys kitty hammocks and couch lounging. Loves cozy spots and kitty beds. Loves to play with toys and boxes. Sweet boy.

Family Story: Momma Val was found in a hotel going door to door greeting people! She was making friends. She ended up rescued by Bossier City Animal Control and later gave birth at the shelter. She had 5 babies but sadly 2 passed away. A rescue up north had tagged the family and they waited for weeks to go there. Unfortunately, they didnt pass the health certificate and they couldn't go. The kittens ended up sick and needed care. Our rescue goes weekly to help network the cats at the shelter, so in the end we decided the family would come under us! We named our new Rockers babies Momma Val, Cupid, Truffle, and Lovebug. Our little Cupid ended up with a rare chest deformity and needing an extensive surgeon. He is finally ready for adoption. The rest of the family has been adopted.

Our pets have multiple pictures to view. On our main page, you may need to scroll down to see them.

Medical: This kitten has had all rounds of vaccinations/booster vaccines. Has had rabies vaccine. Neuter 7/10/24. Dewormed/ Negative fecal reading. Mom tested fiv/felv negative. On monthly flea/tick prevention. When you adopt, you will get a folder with all of their medical records to bring to your vet. Kitten will be microchipped. It is via Petlink and there are NO fees. It is a lifetime registration and our rescue will have already paid for it. As stated above, Cupid had surgery for Pectus Excavatum to help give his chest more room.

Note: We do not approve of declawing. So if you wish to do that, please do not apply. Keep in mind the financial needs for the kitten/cats. This kitten is also to be indoors only. If you want an outdoors or indoor/outdoor kitty let us know and we can direct you.

ADOPTION: $40 adoption donation for approved application. Our rescue spends a lot more than this fee on each life, but it is a way to help give back some to go towards the next life we help. We are a 501c3 non profit that is 100% volunteer run. We function solely on donations from kind people. If you wish to donate more or continue following/supporting us over time, we would appreciate your continued love to help our organization save lives.

Adoption Process Summary: You apply. We will email or call if we have any questions. Upon app approval, we would schedule a day we all meet at PetSmart Shreveport or Hollywood Feed Shreveport. At that meet we would all make sure that you feel the pet is a good match for your home. If so, we run the adoption. You fill out our contract, pay your donation fee, and receive your folder with their medical records. You must bring a pet carrier to this appointment because your pet will go home with you that day if we all feel it is a great match. Woohoo! We take your adoption picture and you head off with your new furry friend! We can often provide adoption coupons too!
