Specks, inspired by Simone Biles, has decided she would like to be an Olympian. She believes that with the right coaching, her energy and passion can be honed to have her ready for the next Olympics. Would you help her figure out if she wants to be a gymnast, speed climber, or sprinter? She’s pretty good at all of those things already but she would need a loving coach with a comfortable lap to rest in after a hard training session and a training partner in the form of another kitten or energetic cat to really help her shine.November 8, 2024, 11:53 am

Hello there, I'm Monica. I'm the kind of cat who enjoys the simple things in life. A warm lap, a gentle stroke, and a friendly voice are all I need to feel content. I have a gentle soul, and I love nothing more than to be held and comforted. I'm sweet and friendly, not your typical moody calico!!! I promise to bring a touch of joy to your day. I have so much love to give and I'm ready to share it with someone who'll cherish me. You should adopt me because I'll fill your life with purrs, cuddles, and unconditional love.

Demeter is a very timid, nervous girl. She came from a less than desirable situation, and having all this change has been hard for her. After she warms up, she will swirl around your legs when you go to greet her. She still winces occasionally when people touch her, but dont take it personally. She is still learning to let her guard down, and sometimes gets nervous when realizing how comfortable she is getting and runs back to safety under a chair. She definitely has a limited social battery and needs a family who will be willing to give her space while she warms up to her new environment. Demeter loves wet food and treats, so those are definitely the way to her heart. She gets along with other cats but has a personal space bubble that she prefers to keep to herself.

She was hanging around my husband's warehouse so he brought her home. We work 12 shifts. No time for pets. She deserves better. She's healthy, beautiful and strong. Friendly, smart, and sweet.

I’m Blossom, and my journey started as a stray with some tough times, but fortunately, I was rescued by a kind soul and found my way to a wonderful foster mommy. Whew! What a relief! I’m a darling girl with a soft, cooing voice that you’ll find utterly endearing. I adore being petted and cuddled, and I’m quite the expert at giving massages. Instead of making biscuits, I prefer to stomp on you—trust me, it’s way more enjoyable! I’m a snuggle enthusiast and love sleeping beside you and following you around. While I’m not a fan of being picked up, my foster family says I’m an absolute sweetheart and super loving. But here’s the best part of my story: I’ve found my soulmate, Simon. He’s the love of my life and the one I never want to be without. He’s dreamy, charming, and together we’re simply inseparable. We both adore humans more than toys and are two peas in a pod. So, please, don’t ask to separate us—we belong together! We’re both big fans of eating, treats, and snuggling. You’ll often find us squished into the same cozy cube on the cat tree, just to be close to one another. A calm, loving home where we can adjust at our own pace and let us sleep with you would be perfect for us. If you welcome us into your life, you’ll be one of the luckiest people around, with double the love and affection from two devoted furballs.

Our human had to move into assisted living, and now we’re left behind, feeling scared and unsure of what comes next. It’s been hard losing the home and person we loved, and I’m still trying to adjust. Marshmallow, with her gorgeous blue eyes, is a bit more independent, but she’s still sweet in her own quiet way. As for me, I’ve always found comfort in the company of other cats. I love them and do my best to be a gentle companion. Humans, though? I’m much shyer. I won’t come up to you right away, but I promise I’m not mean—I just need time and patience to feel safe. We’re both hoping for a quiet, loving home where we can stay together. We may be shy, but we bring a quiet beauty and grace to any home we’re in—the kind that fills the space with warmth even if we don’t ask for much attention. We just want a calm, safe place where we can feel secure again. If you have room in your heart for two gentle souls who need a second chance, please think of us. We’re waiting for a place where we can finally feel safe and loved again.
