Ruby & RyanRuby - Domestic Shorthair, Born May 2023, Tortie Tabby, Spayed FemaleRyan - Domestic Shorthair, Born May 2023, Orange & White Tabby, Neutered Male   Hi, I’m Ryan! Ruby and I have been searching for our forever home for over 300 days, and we're hoping today is the day we find it! Ruby is a sweet, budding lap cat with a heart full of potential. She’s learning to enjoy cuddle time and shows her affection through playful antics. She loves lounging in our former foster mom’s lap, giving you a sneak peek at the loving companion she’s destined to be! As for me, I’m a clever and spirited kitty with a curious nature. I love exploring, testing my boundaries, and engaging in clicker training and treat puzzles. I thrive on learning new things and keep life interesting with my adventurous spirit. Both Ruby and I are smart and eager to learn. We adore other cats and would likely get along well with dogs too! What we need most is a patient person or family who will give us the time and space to grow into our full potential. While we might show some uncertainty at first (we might swat if we’re scared), our affectionate sides will shine through as we settle into a loving home. If you’re ready to offer us understanding and patience, Ruby and I could be the perfect additions to your family. With the right support, we have the potential to become wonderful companions. We’d love for you to meet us and see if you’re the special person we’ve been waiting for! Ryan and I are a bonded pair and must be adopted together! Adoption Information:  Children: No   Cats: Yes, with proper introduction  Dogs: Unknown  Adoption Fee: $200 for the pair  They are microchipped, spayed, and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.  To get more info please fill out our online adoption survey. Surveys are responded to in order, so don't miss out! carenorthshore.org/cat-adoption-survey December 19, 2024, 10:13 pm

Salem & JijiSalem - Domestic Shorthair, Born February 2024, Brown Tabby w/White, Neutered MaleJiji - Domestic Shorthair, Born February 2024, Brown Tabby w/White, Spayed FemaleHellooo! I am Salem, my sister is Jiji, and together we are the purrfect combination of charm and mischief that you’ve been looking for!  On most days, when I'm not busy engaging in epic play battles with Jiji, you'll probably find me curled up in my foster mom's lap.  Now Jiji’s another story ~ she's a real pro at the art of the laser chase!  It's her absolute favorite game, and she'll happily chase that elusive red dot for hours ~ and hours ~ and hours. No resting for that girl.But be forewarned, Jiji and I have our own unique quirks, too.  Mine? I have a habit of following humans around like a furry little shadow and sometimes I get so caught up in the excitement of it all that I end up tangled in your feet ~ sorry!  Jiji’s?  She can come off as a bit shy at first, but trust me, don’t let that fool you.  Once she decides she wants some attention, she asks for it in the most adorable ways possible!So if you're looking for a feline pair who are equal parts playful and cuddly, look no further ~ we have a penchant for mischief and hearts as warm as sunbeams.  I'll take the prime spot in your lap, while Jiji can have the sofa, and together, we'll bring double the love and double the laughter into your home ~ furever.  Jiji and I are a bonded pair and must be adopted together!

Brit and Brandy Male, DSH Orange and White, Born August 2019 (Brit) Female, DSH Gray and White, Born August 2021 (Brandy)   Meet the Dynamic Duo: Brit & Brandy Brit & Brandy are FIV+. Learn More Greetings, fellow cat lovers! We're Brit and Brandy, your new feline friends who are here to charm your socks off. We were rescued by a friendly neighborhood TNR group and are so grateful to be living in a home. Brit is our handsome orange and white gentleman with a heart of gold. While he starts off a bit shy and skittish, he's quickly warming up to human interaction. Don't let his initial hesitation fool you - he's quick to play, loves being in the same room as his humans, and has even started sneaking into bed at night (probably with a secret mission to secure midnight snacks)! Brandy, our elegant gray and white lady, is the social butterfly of the pair. She's a professional lap-sitter who loves human contact and isn't afraid to show it.  When visitors are over, she wants to be involved in the action, confidently sitting on laps and soaking up attention. What makes us truly special is our incredible bond. We're more than just roommates - we're family! We're often found cuddled together in tiny spaces, grooming each other, and sharing an unbreakable connection that seems to go beyond just friendship.  We get along wonderfully and are full of life. Our days are a delightful mix of peaceful moments and bursts of high-energy play and chase.** **What to Expect**- High-energy play sessions- Subtle communication through meows- Curiosity that knows no bounds- A love for exploration (maybe a bit too much - we might need some countertop training!)- Constant companionship with each other We're looking for a patient, loving family who understands that we're a package deal. We'll bring endless love, entertainment, and those adorable moments that make cat ownership so rewarding. Ready to add some feline magic to your life? Brit and Brandy are waiting to meet you!

Story
Tanner Domestic Medium Hair, Born in August 2021, Buff Orange and White Tabby, Neutered Male Meet Tanner: The Resilient Feline with a Heart as Big as His Personality! Hey there, I'm Tanner—your friendly, fun-loving cat with a story to share! I started my journey in a cozy foster home, cared for by one of the coolest vets around. Sure, I've got a few battle scars (hey, they’re kind of my signature look), but don’t let that fool you—I’m all about spreading good vibes and keeping things lighthearted! One thing you'll notice about me is that I wear my heart on my sleeve—or, more accurately, on my paw. I’ve got a heart tattoo there, a little reminder of the resilience and love I carry around with me wherever I go. It’s just one of the ways I show I’ve got a lot of love to give! Speaking of love, I’m definitely food motivated—treats are definitely my love language. I’m all about those snacks, but also about a good play session. Whether I’m pouncing on my favorite toys or showing off my playful side, you’ll never find me bored. I’m always down for a little action! I enjoy affection, but I’m still learning to open up. Sometimes I might give a gentle swat or playful nip if I’m feeling overstimulated—that’s just me setting my boundaries. But don’t worry, I’m not being grumpy, I’m just letting you know when I need a little space. I’m also may be looking to be the king of my castle, so I’d probably prefer to be the only cat around. If you’re looking for a funny, sassy, and affectionate companion who’s still healing but has so much love to give, I’m your guy! Let’s take it slow and make some wonderful memories together.   Adoption Information: Children: Yes, older cat experienced Cats: May prefer to be the only cat Dogs: Unknown  Adoption Fee: $150 This cat is microchipped, neutered, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

Story
Seneca & SmithDSH Grey Tabby with White, Neutered Male, Born August 2024 Hi! We’re two adorable, playful kitten brothers looking for our forever home. My name is Seneca, and I’m the bigger of the two – a little more confident, and I love being around people. I was the first to curl up in my foster mom’s lap and purr happily! I’ll follow you around the house, making sure you’re getting all the chores done right. I love playing with feather wands, chasing toy mice, or batting around balls. If there’s fun to be had, I’m there! My little brother, Smith, is a bit shyer, but he’s warmed up so much since we’ve been with our foster family. He’s now comfortable enough to sit on laps and enjoys a good snuggle after some playtime. While he’s not always crazy about being picked up, he’s getting more used to it every day. Smith and I are best friends and love to play together. In fact, he follows me everywhere! We’re bonded and keep each other company, so we need a home where we can stay together. Brothers forever!  Both of us are super curious and love exploring – after our playtime, you’ll find us snuggling in a lap for a cozy nap. We’re perfect with the litterbox and love scratching on a horizontal scratcher. We’re still getting used to having our paws touched (our foster mom is helping us learn to stay calm for nail trimming), and we don’t mind at all so far. We are basically twins but the bridge of my nose is darker, while Smith has a little white there. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loving pair, we’d love to meet you! I’ll come over to the adoption center so you can get to know us in person. Can’t wait to meet you! – Seneca and Smith Adoption Information:  Children: Yes   Cats: Yes, with proper introduction Dogs: Unknown  Adoption Fee: $200 for the pair  They are microchipped, spayed, and have had a full veterinary checkup and age-appropriate vaccines.  To get more info please fill out our online adoption survey.
