Story
Meet Zeus Almighty! A stray who is estimated to be about 6 1/2 years old, was brought to us to find an indoor home and learn how to socialize with people. After a few months in foster care, he came into the shelter to be seen and adopted. He is a cat’s cat and must have a cat friend! We have introduced Zeus to a few different cats, and he has been friendly to all. Currently hanging out with a young cat who is a bit scared, they seem to be supporting and caring for one another. Not bonded but they might enjoy being adopted together.Though not quite ready for petting, he has begun to be more comfortable around people and hands. He seems to have potential for being a good house cat, possibly a mouser, and would likely do best in a quieter home without children. If you have a friendly cat who would like a playmate or two, come meet Zeus and his companion, Miss Gracie!This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

Story
Buttercup was someone's cat who was put outside. Unfortunately, she was hit by a car and sustained multiple injuries, requiring multiple surgeries. Once Buttercup recovered from her spay surgery, she had her tail amputated and crushed teeth were removed as they were jammed into her jaw. Buttercup has been living with an extraordinary foster who is helping her to recover from so much physical and emotional trauma, making her feel pampered, loved and cared for now that she is not in pain. She will need a patient adopter to care for her and build trust.This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!
