Rainbow's Big Adventure!

When Jeffrey adopted a kitten named Cosmo four years ago, he found his hand-raised kitten was the best cat he had ever known! Cosmo became the ultimate companion for him. When Jeffrey recently decided to get married, it seemed like the perfect time to adopt a new kitten as a playmate for Cosmo and his kitty friend Joy.

Jeffrey tried to contact the rescue in Oregon he adopted Cosmo from and was told that the person who hand-raised Cosmo had moved. Determined to find her, he tracked her down in Georgia. While no longer doing her own rescue, she had become an active foster mom for Castaway kittens. When Jeffrey expressed interest in a 'special' kitten, it just so happened this foster mom had one of the most adorable and perfect love-sponges she had ever raised!

Rainbow had been featured in our CCPR newsletter earlier this year as the kitten that had been spotted by a school bus driver and was thought to have been spray painted. While it turned out he was dyed with non-toxic dyes, he was rescued and brought to his foster home at only 5 weeks of age. Rainbow was a standout right from the get-go! Extremely loving and affectionate, totally without fear and trusting, playful and energetic - he was the ONE!

Jeffrey is now living in California, but trusting his instincts that he would not find any kitten more suitable, he sent his adoption fee and made his travel plans. As Rainbow was given time to grow, to have his vaccinations and be neutered, Jeffrey enjoyed pictures and videos sent by the foster mom. On October 3rd, Jeffrey flew into Atlanta to meet his new kitten for the first time and flew back to California the same day. It was a long and stressful day for both of them but Rainbow is now in his new and wonderful home with his adopted family, Jeffrey and Danielle, Cosmo and Joy. Was he worth it? You BET!

Socks is a gentle, family friendly cat

Socks is the newest arrival at the shelter. She was a stray and brought in by a very nice family who adopted one of our other kitties, but was not able to keep this female cat. She is a very sedate female with a lovely personality. You can flop her upside down and do anything with her. She would be a great family cat and is so gentle she could be with little children. She plays with toys, she gets along with all the other cats, has perfect manners (won't even get on the counter!), and is fully vetted. Please call 706-781-3992 or email castaway_critters @ hotmail.com if Socks seems like a good fit for your family!

Frisky is shy but very loving

This lovely girl is Frisky, a black Australian Shepherd mix with beautiful eyes. She is about 7 yrs. old. She was left at the shelter by the only family she has ever had. She was very confused and seemed to know she had been abandoned. A foster family saw how sad she was and decided to take her home to meet their dogs so that she might feel better -- well she did! She loves to be with other dogs and gets along very easily with them. When Frisky came to the shelter, her long hair was dirty and matted. She had a visit with a groomer and her fur was shaved off for the summer and now she looks like a Lab. She is very loving, sweet, healthy and smart. She is shy as she may be afraid of being abandoned once again. Frisky very much needs a forever home where she will get lots of attention and another dog friend to play with. A fenced yard would be a must as she loves running and having fun. She is fully vetted and all she needs is someone to love her, care for her and let her know she will never be left again. If you think you are the home for this precious girl, call Barb at 706-745-0035.

A leg injury didn't slow down Brandywine!

Brandywine has a personality that will just melt your heart! Plus, she will entertain you while she plays ball, chases sticks (by the way, she eats them before bringing them back), or runs you down when playing tag. What's amazing is that she was hit by a car that took away the use of her entire back left leg! And what's worse is that her previous owner abandoned her at a local cemetery to survive on her own! But once again, a poor defenseless pet was brought to the attention of Castaway Critters where we welcomed her with open arms. Now Brandywine uses three of her four legs and has learned to keep the injured one tucked up to her belly. Trust me, this does not slow her down as she is very energetic and she can outrun most of the dogs at the rescue! She is great with other dogs and kids, but not with cats. She would make the sweetest addition to any family. She is house-trained and loves to sleep on your bed. Her only requirement is love. Can you make her wishes come true with a forever home? And if you can't, would you consider sponsoring her? Please call 706-781-3992 or email castaway_critters @ hotmail.com either way.

Crescent learned to overcome her injury

This beautiful, loving hound dog is named Crescent. She enjoys every day to the fullest, but it wasn't always enjoyable for this angel. You see, Crescent has an injury that she has learned to overcome. We believe she was hit by a car that damaged her front right leg and has taken the use of her foot. To make it worse, when she needed the help of someone to see her through this tragedy, she was dumped to fend for herself. When all hope seemed to dwindle, Castaway was there! We eagerly swept Crescent up and gave her the care that she needed, and most of all the loving attention she deserved. But we are missing one factor in this whole scenario…you! We are looking for someone to give her a forever home -- or at very least become her sponsor -- so she can continue to progress in her recovery. She can run short distances and throws that bad paw out to help her balance. She is very smart! Crescent holds her own when it comes to playing with other dogs, cats and kids!!! She loves to be told she is beautiful and she shows you loyalty through her eyes. She's willing to please and likes to relax which is easy to do when you're 100% house trained. Please consider this sweet girl!
