Once-abandoned cat needs some TLC to become comfortable

Mat is Save-A-Pet’s pet of the week for April 2, 2026

Mat is Save-A-Pet's pet of the week for April 2, 2026.

Mat says, “Found left abandoned, no note, no nothing… petrified, you bet! New place, people, cats, still unsure of what will happen.

“The staff is so amazing. I always have a big bed with a comfy blanket. This helps me relax a little. I also love the wet food and they always give me a little extra too.

“They are so gentle, yet I’m still scared of what to do. What about if I give my heart out and get it broken again. I need a little more time, maybe you could help me feel whole again.”

He is about 4 1/2 years old, neutered, up to date on shots, tested negative for feline leukemia, FIV and heartworm and microchipped.

Adoption appointments and walk-ins are welcome and will be accommodated as time permits. All adoptions require an approved adoption application.
