Story

Jax is two years old. He is an extremely intelligent cat and has a lot of energy. He loves learning new things. He likes to play fetch. He gets along with other cats, small dogs, children and adults. He is very friendly. He is a wonderful cat, but I am unable to care for him due to my own illness. He has been used to going outside during the day for a few hours, so he needs an environment where he can do that safely, or a house with enough space so he has room to exercise. I would love for him to live in a home with lots of stimulation so he can continue to grow. He doesn't have any bad habits, but he does love his food!

Violet

Domestic Shorthair

Pacific Grove, CA

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Violet is a sweet and gentle 16-year-old brown tabby that was adopted from AFRP as a kitten, and returned to our care when her guardian had to move to a senior living facility. Violet is a happy, affectionate, talkative and curious cat that will be a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a mellow feline friend. She is a wonderful lap cat and enjoys being near her person. She gets along with other friendly cats and might do okay with a gentle, respectful dog. Give Violet a soft blanket and gentle petting, and she is in kitty heaven! Violet is in good health though she does have a condition known as Chronic Feline Rhinitis. This common condition is likely due to a non-fatal virus she acquired as a kitten. This causes Violet to experience congestion, nasal discharge and sneezing. Potential adopters can rest assured that a cat with chronic rhinitis is safe to have alongside other cats. It's similar to humans having a common cold. It's unlikely to spread to other feline companions. With proper care and management, Violet can lead a happy life alongside her furry friends without posing a risk of making them sick. Scheduling appropriate veterinary check-ups and implementing hygiene practices will help ensure a harmonious and healthy environment for everyone. As a result, Violet's adopter will need to work closely with their veterinarian to monitor Violet's health and prescribe a course of treatment when necessary. Violet will come with low-cost wellness care through AFRP's clinic as a part of her adoption! Violet is currently in foster care. Meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been received and approved. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org for our required online application.

Minerva

Domestic Longhair

Female, 5 yrs 9 mos

Pacific Grove, CA

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Minerva, who prefers the less formal "Minnie, is a sweet and sensitive 4-year-old longhaired tortoiseshell looking for a very patient adopter with experience helping shy cats gain confidence. Minnie lost the only home she knew when her elderly guardian was moved to a residence that did not allow pets. She is doing her best to overcome this traumatic experience, but she is very slow to adjust to new new places and new people. It took 18 months in foster care before she was brave enough to sit on her foster mom's lap, but now lap time is part of her daily routine, and she enjoys her evening bonding time, purring with contentment. Once you have earned Minnie's trust, she's a gentle companion with excellent litter box manners, a healthy appetite and good grooming skills. A successful match for Minnie would include a quiet indoor-only household with no children. She would be happy as a single pet, or might do fine with a gentle cat or dog that did not expect her to play or interact. She feels most comfortable in small spaces and though she does enjoy a cat tree and a window view, she spends quite a bit of time in her cozy box hideaway. Minnie does not like to be picked up, and will likely always have to be mildly sedated before going to vet appointments. She takes a daily anti-anxiety medication, and she is on prescription wet food for urinary health. Shy cats need and deserve love too, and Minnie is looking for a special person that will give her the time and compassion she needs to adjust to a new forever home.

Ziggy

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Introducing Ziggy! A staff favorite here at AFRP, this handsome senior kitty is on the look-out for his new bachelor's pad. Ziggy was adopted from us back in 2011 and unfortunately found himself back in our care 11 years later when his owner could no longer keep him. Ziggy is looking for a quiet, adult-only home. A large handsome cat, Ziggy is an endearing grumpy old guy. He is looking for a home where he can get love on his terms. He enjoys being petted or played with, but only in moderation. For much of the day, he prefers to nap, observe the yard from his window or catio, or simply coexist with his humans. He can become easily overstimulated by petting or too much activity around him and would do best with an adopter, who has previous experience with cats and can look for signs of overstimulation. He loves playing "chase" with toys, is a cat-tower connoisseur, and enjoys watching the birds out of the window. Ziggy is not very fond of other animals and would do best as the only pet in the home, but he may be able to coexist with another mellow cat or dog. He is on a special diet due to food allergies, this is something that he will have to remain on for the rest of his life. The good news? That doesn't slow Ziggy down! He LOVES his food and he loves his meal-times. If you're looking for an older guy, Ziggy is the one for you! Ziggy is also available to foster if you're not ready to adopt yet! Ziggy is currently in foster care. Meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been received and approved.

Story

Meet Lee! Lee is a beautiful dilute calico who came to us with her two sisters as strays from Hitchcock Road Animal Services. This sweet and gentle girl has a quiet charm that reveals itself with a bit of time and patience. Although Lee is initially shy around new people and places, she is an affectionate and easy companion once settled in. Her shy demeanor doesn't define her; rather, it's an invitation to understand the subtle nuances of her personality. Lee's strength lies in her ability to adapt and thrive in an environment that allows her the space and time she needs to feel secure. Genuinely sweet and gentle, Lee appreciates a calm and supportive atmosphere. If you're looking for a low-key and undemanding friend, Lee is the perfect match. She's the embodiment of grace and tranquility, offering the promise of a deep and meaningful connection when given the opportunity. Despite her rough start in life, Lee has bonded strongly with her sister Jamie. These sisters are a package deal, meaning they're looking for a forever home that will welcome both of them with open arms. What makes Jamie and Lee even more delightful is their playfulness with other friendly kitties! Due to their age and playful behavior, both Jamie and Lee would do best in a home with adult adopters or a family with older children. Positive socialization is a must when it comes to these two kitties! Lee is currently in foster care and meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been received and approved.
