See Orange Roughy's new photo perching in a cat tree. It has now been over 3 years since these gorgeous cats, Orange Roughy and his brother Guppy (posted separately) were rescued.

They were just kittens when I trapped & saved them from a seafood production plant that was closing down.

The kittens had been traumatized, starved & constantly dodging massive tractor trailer trucks & equipment. They were pitiful & barely alive when I finally caught them.

These 2 brothers have come through a tremendous journey. They are both now healthy & kind, but still very very cautious especially around someone new.

We have worked hard to help them gain confidence and feel safe, but no one will adopt them or give them a chance. Most adopters are looking for a "purrfect" cat that will make themselves happy. I'm looking for that selfless adopter that wants to save a life or two because that is what paying it forward & rescue work is all about.

These two beautiful sweet boys need time & love. If you think you have patience & a big heart for the not-so-purrfect cats, give me a call! As soon as you meet these precious souls, your heart will tell you what to do.

I feel so sorry for these cats after so many rescues have come & gone and they still wait for a chance of a home.

Orange Roughy is the big, beautiful long haired orange boy and Guppy is his gorgeous orange & white brother.

I pray for them every day. I know their angel adopter is out there somewhere!
