About this Cat
There is not shortage of survival stories in rescue, but Reese is an absolute miracle. We don’t know how his story started, but Reese was found during the high heat of summer in Texas. Struggling would be an understatement. His skin was raw and irritated, his breathing was labored, he could barely see, and he could hardly move. After ending up with an amazing rescue, Reese was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, a horrible case of mange, malnourishment, dehydration and entropion issues (his eyelids scraped against his eyeballs). But worst of all, he had a 22 caliber bullet lodged near his spine. But the rescue saw immediately how incredible this boy was and put nine months of love and patience into his rehab. His skin was treated, he received surgery on his eyelid and the bullet was removed. He received physical therapy and over time regained almost nearly full motion. Reese relished being cared for and is a complete love bug. Understandably, he’s shy with strangers at first, but warms up quickly and loves pets and scratches. Once Reese had recovered enough from all the trauma, he was diagnosed with FeLV so was transferred to Furever Home in Maryland. He continues to improve and is the sweetest little man ever. Now he’s ready for his very own family so he can live the rest of his life full of safety and love. Like all our cats, Reese is FeLV positive. Therefore he can only be placed as an only cat or with other cats that are FeLV positive. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected] or call 301.703.1674.

Adopt Reese and Receive Reese's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Reese's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Reese's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Reese, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Reese's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Reese was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Reese’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Reese’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Reese’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
