Lots of Love Cat Rescue's Pet of the Week

Will You Befriend Merlot the Cat?

Merlot needs a home. Will it be yours?

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] Just look at this gorgeous face. Merlot is our movie star cat, with her attention-seeking ways, even in the midst of another cat's photo shoot, here comes Merlot to block the camera’s view. At about one year old, sweet Merlot is on the small side, all black with a dab of white on her chest, her thick sable-like coat can be addictive to the touch. Whenever the opportunity arises, Merlot seeks out a lap, just wanting to be near. Her story: She entered into a cat trap meant for another, was not spayed and nobody claimed her. Merlot is comfortable with being picked up and will approach even strangers for attention. We get a sense she wasn’t handled a lot because …

Louise Needs a Caring Home

Will you adopt Louise?

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] As the temperature drops and winter takes its frigid hold, cat rescue people don’t sleep well. We hear the wind whipping and worry about the homeless kittens and cats outside. We find comfort in cats like Louise, ones we are able to rescue due to a kind soul who spotted a mom and kittens and never gave up finding help. The owner never spayed their cat, instead moved and left her behind. So Louise and her siblings were born in a condo complex environment, behind a tall fence in a tangled patch of forest, seeking shelter in the crevices of a cliff.   Rescued at three months old, Louise’s foster mom has done a wonderful job of showing her that people represent …

Toby Needs a Loving Home

Will you adopt this friendly feline?

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] I’m Toby, a handsome young tabby playboy, about a year old and stunning enough for a cat magazine, with my gray soft fur and streaks of black. I just love to play and can often be heard chasing a rubber ball or seen soaring high after a wand toy. Take the time to play with me and I will love you even more. I might have a touch of coon cat in me, with my fluffy tail and furry ears and paw pads. I enjoy being picked up and a good ear scratching. Not the shy type, I will greet anyone who visits, rubbing up against them to show my affectionate side. When being petted, I have a purr that never ends and will lie down and roll all around. I’m not much into meowing and…

Marty Could Be the Cat for You

This cat and others are up for adoption through Lots of Love Cat Rescue in Wilmington.

Editor's Note: The following information was provided by Lots of Love Cat Rescue in Wilmington. Smarty Marty is this cat's nickname, and for good reason. He is not only a smart boy, but a handsome and loveable main coon cat, about two years old. He came to us from a city towing yard where he was roaming and causing some trouble with other feral cats. Marty was trapped and neutered and was to be returned to his outside "home", but the person that was feeding the feral colony asked us to please try and make room for him. She wanted to give him a chance to "come around" as she saw something other than a feral in him. After a trip to the vets to have him neutered and make certain his health was okay, he went into foster care where we got to …
