Story
Coco is a 3-year old, small beautifully colored tortoise-shell cat. She is a little flighty and on the shy side, but super playful and a total lap-cat once she warms up to you. She will do best in a quiet, relaxed home.

Story
Pickles is goofy, affectionate, outgoing, friendly, sweet, and snuggly, and loves tummy rubs and attention. He takes *very* easily to new folks and will be asleep on their lap within an hour of meeting them. As a senior cat, he needs more experienced care, but he is still active and spry. He's about 10 years old. Originally an indoor-outdoor farm cat, he's been an indoor housecat for ~4 years. He grew up around numerous other cats, he is best as a solo pet. Pickles has a sensitive tummy and will vomit on rare occasion. He also, on *very* rare occasion, may urinate on strong smelling/damp fabrics (We learned to hang our bathmats). Pickles also has dental disease and is missing a tooth from a prior injury. He would do well to have some further teeth removed. An ideal house for Pickles would be roomy, with places to climb up on and sun himself. Pickles does not scratch furniture if he has a scratching post. He loves mouse toys and catnip and will happily play with you for 20-30 min.

Story
Ellie is a beautiful calico who is looking for a little more independence in her life. She is a very sweet, calm cat who loves new people and new experiences. Her favorite activity is to find the softest blanket she can and start making biscuits on it, usually in a sunny spot of the house. She also adores the outdoors and loves to go on walks in her stroller, or sit out in the fenced yard with people. She does well with other animals, but does prefer to stick to herself most of the time. Occasionally she'l get a little burst of a cuddly mood and snuggle with the dog, but prefers most of her affection come from people. Currently she lives with another cat but that cat is a little too much for her. He wants to play and cuddle with her constantly while she just wants some time to herself. This is why we've chosen to rehome her, so that she can live her best life on her own terms. Adoption fee covers some supplies that will be sent with her to her new home!

Story
Hi there, I am looking for a job! I'm used to being an outdoor cat and I'm very good at rodent control and bug catching! I prefer not to interact with strangers initially, but luckily for me HSSV has a Garden Cat Adoption Program and is looking to find me a home or barn where we can live outside and be admired from afar. Once I'm comfortable in your yard or barn, we'll eventually make friends, but it'll take some time for me to trust you. Please schedule an appointment if you would like to take me home.Schedule Appointment Primary Color: Brown Tabby Age: 4yrs 0mths 1wks

My adoption fee has been sponsored!Hi, my name is Andre! I'm a sweet, shy kitty. It takes me time to warm up to new people and places. Once I'm comfortable, I'll come out of my shell and I'll enjoy exploring the house and hanging out with my people. I've also done well with other cats. I would love a quiet, calm home to call my own. If you are interested, ask to virtually meet me!Schedule Appointment Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 13.88 Age: 0yrs 11mths 3wks

Helpful Info:3 Week Trial Adoption Included.Indoor/outdoor access needed.Microchipped.Neutered.Loves interactive toys.Hey there, future best friend! I'm Theodore, a dashing, playful, and high-energy cat looking for a home that matches my zest for life! I love to zoom, pounce, and chase, so I need lots of enrichment to keep me entertained. Toys, tunnels, and interactive playtime? Yes, please! I thrive with lots of enrichment and room to move. Since I have a big personality and boundless enthusiasm, I need an adult-only home where my enthusiasm is appreciated. I can get a little carried away with excitement when things move fast, but hey, life is more fun with a little thrill!I dream of a home with indoor-outdoor access, a catio, or an enclosed outdoor space where I can bask in the sun, watch the world go by, and satisfy my explorer instincts. My ideal setup includes a larger space (like a spare bedroom or an office) to stretch my paws while I settle in. I'm best as the only cat in the home because, let's be honest, I was born to be the star of the show! If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic cat who will keep you on your toes, I might just be your purr-fect match! Primary Color: Grey Weight: 10.52 Age: 0yrs 9mths 2wks
