Story
Gypsy is a 3 year old domestic medium hair tabby cat. Abandoned as a kitten we have been fostering Gypsy since. She had all her shots as a kitten but they have not gene updated since. Her new adopter will need to have her vaccinations updated and for her to be spayed. Gypsy gets along greatly with other cats and dogs. Although slow introductions are necessary. Gypsy is an indoor cat only. She loves to play and cuddle.

Story
This is Wren, short for Arwen (from the Lord of the Rings). She's approximately 11 years old, maybe 12. She is just the sweetest cat. She loves people, can tolerate dogs, but unfortunately doesn't do well with other cats. She needs to be in a single cat household. We took Wren in after my mother-in-law passed away. We already had 2 other younger cats. At first things went really well, but eventually we realized she had to be by herself. We had a spare bedroom in which she made her safe area, but we are now expecting a baby & will need the bedroom. Since Wren can't be with our other cats, we're hoping to find her a single cat home where she can give all the snuggles & get all of the pets she deserves, without being made anxious by other cats. I will provide food & litter for a year if you adopt her.

Story
I am a big and handsome guy! And just so, so sweet. I love to play but mostly I love to get attention and be petted! I was adopted as a young kitten but returned for having blood in my urine. It was due to crystals so now I eat special food but I use the litter box perfectly! I am a bit shy at first but come around quickly. A also love a nice lap to curl up on and adore head scratches. I have never lived with dogs, but seem okay with cats as long as I have a space of my own. Won't you come meet me soon? I think you'll like me!

Story
Tunes! What can we say about Tunes except he is one in a million?! Tunes was a bitty baby last summer when he wound up in the home of a shelter foster mom who bottle-fed him and his siblings. Sadly, they were plagued with health problems and Tunes was the only survivor. He spent the first half of his life fighting for it, with continuous respiratory and eye issues. Happily, he has grown out of most of those issues but may still need an occasional antibiotic for eye flare-ups. None of that stops him from being the sass-bag we at the shelter have all come to learn and love! He is funny, and pushy for love, but isn't always so sure how to respond to that love. Staff describes him as playful, affectionate, and aloof, and we honestly can't think of any better words to describe him! He is currently living in one of our open cat rooms, where he gets along with most of his roommates.

Story
Meet Stegers. She is an approximately 2-year-old gray and white DSH who came to the shelter while in active labor. The family wasn't aware she was pregnant until she began having kittens under their couch and hence her name was born! She is currently in a foster home, and they report that she is a total lap cat. Loves head and back pets, loves affection, and can never be held enough! She currently lives in a house with other animals, that she tolerates, but she is not a fan of dogs. She isn't aggressive towards them, but you can tell she doesn't like them. She isn't overly interested in play, just cuddles, so if you are a dog-free family looking for love, she could be the cat for you! Please fill out an online application to get the process started to meet this sweet young lady!

Story
9-month-old, dilute torti, Wynonna and her mother came to us from another rescue that was a bit overwhelmed and needed help. She was shy but is coming around so nicely! She is still not fond of being picked up--so would be better with adults and older kids--but she loves being petted. And she really loves canned food! She is playful and would probably enjoy another cat for company. She is just the cutest little thing!
