Story
Best Match: Seeking an adopter with moderate cat experience Could join a quiet home with cat savvy teens Part of a bonded pair Needs a home without dogs Need to be indoor only Ollie takes daily medication for blood pressure Pip and Ollie are an adorable pair of bonded boys. While initially on the reserved side with new people, once you’ve befriended them, their sweet nature just shines through. As a bonded pair, Pip and Ollie share a deep connection. They sleep together other under the covers, and often groom each other. Both boys enjoy evening escapades, and Ollie even has a nightly routine where he inspects every room in the house, which is very cute. Despite being older cats, this duo can also be quite playful!  Ollie prefers playing with toy mice and balls he can chase, and is happy to entertain himself. As the more outgoing cat of this duo, he loves seeking out attention from his humans for chin scritches! He can still easily startle, so a calm home with a patient adopter will be ideal for him. Ollie also takes a heart medication pill. It’s very easy to administer — he adores munching his pill pocket treats! Pip is sweet and friendly — it just takes a little more time and patience for him to get comfortable with people. Once he feels at home, Pip will play by chasing after mice and leaping high in the air to bat at ribbon toys. He’ll keep you entertained with his acrobatics!  A great way to win this shy lad's  trust is by offering treats. Pip and Ollie  are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. These distinguished gentlemen are waiting patiently for the great love of their lives. Might that be   you? If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form . December 23, 2024, 3:24 pm

Story
Best Match: Seeking an adopter with moderate cat experience Will be most comfortable with an adult only home Bonded Pair Ok with other cats Both need an inhaler Needs to be indoor only   Step aside, Batman and Robin. See you later, peanut butter and jelly. It’s time to meet the latest and greatest dynamic duo – Thunder and Broccoli! These quirky tabby boys are ready to fill your home with love, cuddles, and entertaining antics.   Thunder is a big boy with an even bigger personality. Friendly, affectionate, and confident, this lovebug craves attention and wants to be up close and personal with his people. He is a major lap cat, and his foster reports that he “sometimes sleeps in my arms with his paws wrapped around my neck and kisses my face.”  He eagerly approaches new people and makes a beeline for any item that catches his eye. He happily chats away with people and cats alike, and loves a good snooze in a sunny window. He also likes to let you know when he is done being pet or needs to play -- so knowing to watch body language is key.    Broccoli (the all brown tabby) is Mr. Popularity, the rare cat who gets along with everybody. He is friendly with other cats and people – to Broccoli, people just seem like oversized cats he can befriend. He also loves to play. Wand toys and balls are his favorite and he is an avid hunter of bugs. With intense focus, he will stalk a stray fly around the house for hours. It may sound surprising, but Broccoli’s favorite time of day is when he takes his inhaler! The churu probably has something to do with that, and this makes his asthma incredibly easy to manage.    Broccoli is described by his foster as “super soft and pure love.” Thunder entertains everyone with his funny, loud meow that sounds like a cartoon character, his snoring, and his many silly sleeping positions.These buddies share tons of snuggling,  grooming, and playtime. It doesn’t get better than that.   Thunder and Broccoli would do best with an easygoing, cat-savvy adopter in an adults-only home with no children.They would be happy to have other cats around as well.    Could you be the perfect match for this fun and funny duo? Thunder and Broccoli are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV. Thunder has tested positive for FIV.

Story
Best Match: Seeking an adopter with extensive experience Could join a calm home with teens Prefers to be the only cat Needs to be indoor only Are you ready to play? So is Sweets! Wands with feathers are must-haves, and if you have a tunnel, even better! Playtime is an important part of Sweets’ day. Like most cats, this beautiful tuxie girl with pale green eyes has a daily ritual she would like you to follow. It’s the feline version of Eat, Play, Love, followed by sleep in the evening.  Sweets gets ready for breakfast when she hears her person getting up in the morning. No worries, she’ll respect your privacy behind a closed door doing whatever humans do. Given how fast she eats, a food puzzle is a good idea to slow her down. Meal over, it’s time for 5-10 minutes of play and maybe some brushing. Sweets is content to let you work at home because her day is for exploring and napping.  A little more playtime with an engaged partner before dinner calms down her energy as the evening begins. Before bedtime, Sweets wants nothing more and nothing less than some couch time love and attention. You’ll never have to guess whether Sweets is feeling hungry or playful or just wants some me & you time because she is one talkative girl. She does need someone that knows cat body language, and when she is done with petting and playtime, or wants petting and playtime! She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you’re ready to hang out with an entertaining cat, set up a meeting or have more questions about Sweets, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form .  December 23, 2024, 3:24 pm
