Vincent and Tori need you! Come on cat lovers, this is chance of a lifetime to do something really good for cats and yourself. You’ll for ever reap the reward. You’ll receive adulation and bit of fame as well if that would please you.
Vincent is a declawed cat who because of the declaw operation become very defensively aggressive. He has a buddy, Tori. They are both at a rescue center in New Orleans, USA. Vincent now needs a human buddy with a big heart. This is a great start: no adoption fee and free transport. You won’t get a better offer.
You can read about Vincent on this page (link opens a new webpage). Please read about Vincent first. They say Vincent is untouchable. I say this is your chance to prove everyone wrong and how superb you are as a cat caretaker.
PoC will chronicle your adoption of Vincent and Tori – if you would like that. If not, we’ll keep silent.
Here is the comment from Jo Singer on Vincent’s page that made me write this post:
There’s some possible great MEWS for Vincent and hopefully his new buddy- but only if there is someone who is committed to take Vincent and hopefully his buddy, Tori. Since the shelter will waive adoption fees if both go to their permanent loving home together, the cost of the adoption will not be an issue.
This said, if someone lives within a 300 mile radius from New Orleans, and is able to make a committment to definitely take these kitties, there is a strong possibility for free transport from New Orleans to your location.
So if anyone can open their heart and home for these two cats, please post a response to this post. Ruth and I will keep checking and we can go on from there. What a blessing this would be for these cats. Thank you so much!

A beautiful dark tortoishell cat. They make a great male and female couple. Orange tabby and a tortie. Someone has to take them on surely?
Thanks Ruth. Sometimes I feel that FB is like the out of town mega-supermarket that kills the high street shops.
FB has certainly damaged many independent website. We’ll keep going though ;).

This must be Vincent’s friend Torti, it doesn’t look like she is declawed
Thank you for writing this article Michael, surely there must be someone over there who will take Vincent and Tori, I think all they would ask for would be a peaceful home and someone to love them.
Everyone is pulling together on this, the Shelter is willing to let the cats go free to a good home, Jo is willing to organise the transport, our wonderful PoC family are offering to help with any expenses. We just need the right person to want those cats now.
Facebook can not kill PoC! Yes it’s handy for spreading the word about declawing etc but it isn’t a patch on PoC, the warmth and friendliness here, the passion for the welfare of all cats, the education found here.
I feel the same. There are too many barriers and we have to think of our cats and how we can cope.
