Story
In the wide world of cats, orange tabby fellas have a certain reputation: Theyre often gentle gents who love oh so sweetly and loyally. And, as far as were concerned, Jakes photo might aswell hang by that definition! He is such a character that will just follow you around and be underfoot at all times, says his foster dad. He looks up at you with his sweet face and justwants all of the pets. Originally from a large outdoor colony, Jake will need some time to acclimate to his forever home just as he did with his Whiskers foster family. He would thrive inquieter surroundings with a friendly cat or two to show him the ropes. But once he does? His loving, funny personality will shine. Once he gets to know you, he becomes a Velcro cat thatdoes not like to let you out of his sight. - Buzz.

Story
When Shirley Temple first arrived at Whiskers TNR from a large outdoor colony, she was sweet yet shy. But since our wonderful partner, Smitten Kitten, has been showcasing Shirley Temple at their shops, she has blossomed into a little starlet just like her namesake! She loves kids, loves to play with the wand toys and gets along well with both of our shop kitties, says one of her caretakers there. She often greets customers and rubs on legs. Shirley Temple has tested positive for FIV, but she can still have a happy, healthy life with a little extra care. In fact, the pros at Smitten Kitten think that shed be a great addition to a home with kids and other friendly felines because she very much wants to be a social cat. Can this darling girl finally step into the adoption spotlight with you? - Buzz.

Story
Coco may have been living a scrappy life outdoors, but her foster mom believes she was destined to be someones darling, pampered pet. Shes very elegant and a real beauty queen named for Coco Chanel, the renowned fashion designer. That goes for that little black dress she sports as well as how she commands attention (in the most charming way, of course). Whenever I come into the room, she comes up to me to greet me with a quiet chirp. Coco has been busy raising seven (yes, seven!) kittens, but she still makes time to sit sweetly by her people for pets. Her foster mom describes her as a mild-mannered, versatile kitty who loves humans but can also entertain herself when theyre busy. Shes just so sweet and gentle and is going to make a great companion for someone. Shed just be perfect for someone looking for their best friend. Now that Coco is ready to retire from motherhood, is she fashionably on time to be yours? - Buzz.

Story
When Bootsie first arrived at Whiskers TNR from a large outdoor colony being TNRed, she tended to hide in her kitty cave. But her foster family refused to give up on this precious girl, andnow? Bootsie is very friendly and playful, reports her foster dad. She just loves to be around people and eats up any attention she can get. She also loves to socialize with her feline fostersiblings and lead the pack in batting toys around the floor. Bootsie is a flight risk who may try to slip out a door, so her future family will need to be mindful of that to keep her safe. Butotherwise, Bootsie is a shoe-in to be the cuddly, playful cat youre looking for. - Buzz.

Story
Chai is a dainty, green-eyed beauty who originally lived in a large outdoor colony that Whiskers helped to TNR this spring. After raising seven (yes, seven!) kittens in our care, she is more than ready to retire from motherhood and be pampered in a home of her own. She is a very sweet, outgoing cat that loves to be around people, says her foster dad. Chai also enjoys snuggling with her feline friends and having heart-to-hearts with her humans. She is such a chatterbox! She will talk to you the whole time you are with her. She wants to make sure you dont forget about her. But then, how could we? If youre looking for a sweet, chatty cat, Chai just might be your cup of tea. - Buzz.

Story
It may be summer vacation, but Fresco needs to get to work! Thats because this oh-so-handsome tabby approaches lap-cat duties like its his job. This boy NEEDS a lap to sit on, says his foster mom. In fact, on a recent night she showed him off to a visitor, and the only time he budged from her lap was to get some belly rubs from his new friend. (And offer a few meows to welcome her Fresco can be a talker!) His foster mom also thinks he would enjoy a friendly feline friend in his new forever home, based on how he wistfully watches his shy new foster siblings. I often say cats are the sweetest, but Fresco really has the sweetest personality Ive ever seen in a cat, she said. He is a little reserved but ready to sit on your lap and be intensely loyal. If youre looking for a faithful companion, look no further Fresco the lap cat is ready to report for duty! - Buzz.
