PETS OF THE WEEK

Spots and Conrad

These two orange-and-white, year-old brothers really need your help. Spots and Conrad aren’t mean or destructive; they just want to hide. They have nowhere to go and have been in our network since last October, moving from caregiver to caregiver without a permanent home.

Last week, their Costa Mesa caregiver had to leave her residence abruptly, leaving the two cats in the lurch and out on the street when a door was accidentally left open. Their constant hiding and avoidance has made them difficult to adopt. Children believe that the cats don’t like them, and most adults want a relationship with an affectionate cat.

The two were not born feral and were not abused. Their mother was a stray that was given food and shelter, and the babies were left alone to frolic and play but were rarely touched. We can teach a patient pet-parent how to use food as a behavior modifier, encouraging the cats to bond with people, and Spots and Conrad will be able to settle into a new home.
