Story
I`m a shy boy still learning to trust and feel secure. I`m looking for a kind and patient friend who will give me the time and space I need to come out of my shell. While I`m used to indoor life, I might just surprise you as a great little helper keeping your home mouse-free!**Slow Approach**

Story
Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to learn a little about me. My name is Pinto, and it’s very nice to meet you. I’m a shy and under-socialized little one who gets nervous around new people, and being in the shelter has been a big transition for me. I’m really hoping the person reading this might be the one to give me a forever home where I can finally feel safe and loved. I just need a time and patience to come out of my shell, but once I do, I hoping to show you how sweet and loving I can be. If you’re someone who can offer a calm, understanding space, I would be so excited to meet you.

Story
Scotty and Diana have been hanging out in one of my grandmas spare rooms since we trapped them back in mid December. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they need to be out by the 1st of February!!! We need a long-term foster, and QUICK!! Have a spare bedroom for these easy keepers? Litter box trained, no spraying or marking and both are altered! Everything you need will be provided, food, litter, veterinary, EVERYTHING! They're both former ferals, so they take some time to warm up. My grandma is now able to pet Scotty Diana takes a little longer to warm up, but was rubbing against my Grandma's leg by the 3rd week! Home check required

Story
Meet Boomerang! Boomerang is a fun-loving, affectionate 3-year-old kitty with a big personality! He absolutely adores attention and will eagerly seek out love—but be warned, his excitement sometimes leads to enthusiastic love bites that can be a little too strong. He’s not aggressive at all, just a bit overzealous in showing his affection! Because of this, he’d do best in a home without young children. This silly boy is full of charm and curiosity. He loves to perch by the window and watch the birds, keeping himself entertained for hours. He has never lived with a dog, so we’re unsure how he’d react to one, but he does get along well with other cats. He just needs a little time to adjust before he’s ready to be best buddies. Boomerang is looking for a home that will appreciate his playful quirks and give him plenty of love (and maybe a few toys to keep his busy paws occupied). If you're looking for an affectionate, entertaining companion with a big heart and a little bit of spice, Boomerang is your guy! If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/cat-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $100 will help defray the costs of the spay/neuter, vaccinations and vetting.  Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our cats as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue. ##2338131##

Story
Meet Boots! Boots is a 10-year-old kitty who was found outside during a bitter cold spell. This sweet boy has been through a lot and is now looking for a quiet, loving home where he can finally feel safe. He would do best as the only pet in a home without young or rambunctious children, as he is easily startled by loud noises and other animals. Despite his cautious nature, Boots is incredibly affectionate once he feels comfortable. He has a unique way of showing his happiness—by drooling when he’s especially content! He also has a habit of yowling in the middle of the night, just looking for some human connection. A cozy hiding spot is a must for him, as he likes to have a safe retreat when he needs it. When he was rescued, Boots was severely matted and had to be completely shaved down. While he wasn’t a fan of the process (understandably, as those mats were uncomfortable!), he is now mat-free and feeling much better. His current haircut may not be the most stylish, but his fur will grow back beautifully with time. To keep him from matting again, Boots will need regular brushing to keep his coat in good shape. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who just wants a quiet life filled with gentle affection, Boots could be the perfect match for you. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/cat-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $100 will help defray the costs of the spay/neuter, vaccinations and vetting.  Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our cats as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue. ##2338033##

Story
Amy is a super sweet and lucky girl rescued by a kind, compassionate lady in Los Angeles in December 2022. Amy is a love bug, certified lap cat and loves to snuggle in bed. She is very affectionate and would make a great ESA for a lucky adopter. Although she is getting along fairly well with the other cats in her current foster home, and is now tolerant of the dog, she would probably be happiest as an only pet (or the only cat in the household). She has a fantastic temperament and should be fine with well-mannered children. Call 310-366-5573 for more details about adopting. Amy is currently fostered in a private home near Prescott Valley, AZ 86314 Adoption includes spay/neuter, initial vaccines/vetting, (FELV/FIV-) and treatment with a topical flea control. Donation will benefit Home for Every Living Pet Rescue, Los Angeles, CA Our PET LIST is updated each evening, so all animals are available, unless noted as **ADOPTED**
