MINEY

I'm about 6 years old and I was at the Center for Animal Care and Control with my mom (Eenie) and my brother and sister (you guessed it, Mo and Meenie!). I guess I didn't get adopted 'cause I was a little shy back then and anyway I just wanted to stay with my mom. It's okay, we like it here and the people here always tell those adopter people that they would have to take both of us because we're so close. My mom says they probably are afraid I eat too much and can't afford it (she's one to talk -- not so eenie anymore if you know what I mean). I think she says stuff like that so I'll go on a diet. But it really just makes me want to eat more. Mothers can be so frustrating! Arghghghghghg.

To adopt Miney (and Eenie), please call us at 516-922-2287. If you can't adopt her and would like to hear the rest of her story, you can help by sponsoring her. $25.00 minimum)
Gift sponsorship is also available.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPONSORSHIP

Houdini

Houdini came to us when his owner died and he was found in the house to fend for himself. Houdini has asthma as well as a heart murmur and is on medication for both. He is adoptable and sweet, but is a special needs cat and will need monitoring for both conditions. You can help by sponsoring Houdini and part of your donation will go to contributing towards our ultrasound fund so that we may have our own ultrasound machine at the shelter to monitor our special needs kitties like Houdini! ($25.00 minimum)
Gift sponsorship is also available.

Chelsea

Sweet little Chelsea who came to us with her family is ready for adoption. Her brothers, Rollie and Sergio and her sister, Jellybean II have all been adopted and Chelsea waits for her family to come and adopt her. She's snuggly and affectionate as well as playful and fun!

Chelsea has been spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed and is vaccinated appropriate for her age. She's 10 weeks old and a bundle of love. Call us at 516-922-CATS if you'd like to meet Chelsea.

See who's looking for new homes!

"We've got some great new arrivals who are now ready for adoption," says Sanctuary Manager, Lynn Manno. "It's so hard for people to see their personalities in a photo and I hope this video makes it a little easier to fall in love with these guys as we have." Check them out in this 2 minute video, shot by Lynn Manno, along with the other cats in our adoption room.

If you'd like to come and visit, please call us at 516-922-CATS for an appointment!

This handsome boy came to us when his owner suddenly died. He and the rest of his cat family found sanctuary when a neighbor of their owner rescued all of them (all 27!) and found them all homes. Mason is available for adoption (hopefully with his buddy Eric!). If you can't adopt them both, you can help by sponsoring Mason ($25.00 minimum).Gift sponsorship is also available.

Cami

Cami is about 3 years old. She's been with us for a few years, just hasn't found her family yet. She's playful and energetic and very inquisitive. She's also quite the talker and we find ourselves having more conversations with her than we really should mention. Cami is the type of cat that will follow you everywhere, she just loves company! (Sponsorship is also available)

Sydney's a great cat who somehow gets overlooked. She's really sweet, loves to drink out of the faucet and loves a good lap. She landed on our doorstep several years back and just hasn't found her forever home. Sydney's about 7 years old (which is our best guess) and would make a wonderful companion for someone.

ADOPT A CAT IN FEBRUARY

Adopt a cat in February and receive a framed (frames and paintings vary) paw print painting, painted by our own Ladew kitties, under the supervision of our Arts & Crafts Director, Lynn Manno with the help of her assistant, Tatum Christiansen.

Tatum Christiansen gets the supplies ready

The cats have been in the drawing room trying to think up ways to get new homes for themselves. They finally came up with parting with some of their limited edition paintings to see if they could entice people to open up their homes to a new kitty.

The cats worked hard on this project and we'd hate to disappoint them -- please call us at 516-922-CATS for your original artwork and better yet, original artistocat!

Sweet Pea
Only about a year old, this adorable girl is looking for her own home. She is spayed, tested negative for FELV/FIV, vaccinated and microchipped. While she's waiting for her own family to come along, you can help us by sponsoring Sweet Pea. Gift sponsorship is also available.

Cleo
Cleo found herself in a hoarding situation. The person who had her did not spay her and Cleo wound up with pyometra, which is an infection of the uterus which, left untreated, can be fatal. Luckily for Cleo she was able to survive the infection and she doesn't hold any grudges! She is a sweet, sweet girl, a total lap cat -- just wants to be someone's best bud! You can help us care for Cleo in the meantime, by sponsoring her ($25.00 minimum). Gift sponsorship is also available.

Buffy
Buffy is just a kitten herself - less than one year old, but has already had a litter of kittens! All her babies were adopted and now Buffy waits for her own home. She is very inquisitive (ok, nosey!) but very loving. We have no doubt that someone will fall in love with her and take her home, but until then, you can help us by sponsoring her ($25.00) minimum. Gift sponsorship is also available.

SCHOOL'S OPEN! LEARN A LESSON IN LOVE:
Sponsor a Ladew Special Needs Cat for a Year!

Back to school time is hectic for families and adoptions are slower, so we try to keep our kitties busy learning new things, but the longer they stay in the shelter, the greater their needs become, including medical needs.

Cami (above) is inquisitive and boy can she talk! She would make an amusing addition to any household. Until the right family comes along, you can help by sponsoring her. (Minimum $25.00)

IT'S YOUR VILLAGE TOO . . . Adopt Toby

This sweet little guy is about one year old. His ear is tipped because he was part of a trap/neuter/return project where organizations trap feral cats, spay and neuter them and then return them to their colony which is managed by some good samaritan who feeds them.

Only our sweet Toby didn't want to go back and it turns out he wasn't feral after all! Toby is looking for someone who has as much love to give as he does in return! If you think you are qualified to adopt Toby, call us at 516-922-2287 (or email us at info@theladewcatsanctuary.org for more information.
If you can't adopt Toby, you can sponsor him($25.00 minimum).

Eric was the 4th cat we took after an owner died suddenly, leaving the cats alone. A good neighbor came along and took it upon herself to find all the cats in the house, test, vaccinate and have them examined by a veterinarian and find sanctuary for all of them. Eric is a friendly guy who is buddy buddy with Mason who came from the same house. Eric is adoptable (but comes with Mason!) If you can't take both, you can sponsor Eric for $25.00 (minimum)

Inky came in as a stow-away. We were supposed to get 6 kittens, all tigers from one of the other shelters. When they arrived, there was this mysterious 7th kitten in the box. When we asked the shelter about it they pleaded the 5th Amendment. We love Inky as much as the other 6 (who were all adopted). Inky's still looking for his own home. Until he finds it, you can help by sponsoring Inky ($25.00 minimum)

Polly D
Polly D (it was either that or Little Ears) was named after her extra toes. She's a sweet girl who is a little on the shy side and is waiting for someone to warm up to. Polly suffers from allergies and is adoptable, but would need special food. Until she gets adopted, you can help us by sponsoring her for $25.00.

Smokey
Smokey (7 years old) gets a little shy when folks come to visit which is the only reason she hasn't been adopted.

We have no doubt that Smokey will find the right person but until she does, you can help us sponsor her for $25.00
