Story
Geeves: I will need a VERY patient, cat-savvy adopter who can read my body language and give me time to blossom into my true personality. Expectations should be set that it is unknown how long it will take for me to adapt (possibly weeks to months) and I might never become super social, but more of a roommate. I will be ideal for a gentle, quiet adopter looking to help out a cat, but one who has low expectations for who I am, and what I might become. It is not known what I will be like in a home environment. I came from an overcrowded home with lots of other cats. I have been using my litter box consistently here at the shelter, but my adopter needs to provide me with a slow litter box introduction since it is unclear what my litter box habits were in my previous home. It is recommended that I be set up in my own space (an extra bedroom or bathroom) a space that people or pets will not use unless going in to clean or feed. This will allow for protected contact along with providing a safe space for me. I should be left alone initially as I adjust. This space should include plenty of hiding places, ideally with access to a vertical surface such as a cat tree or a cat-proofed shelf. I can gradually be given more access to the home when I am confidently moving about my environment with relaxed body language when my adopter visits me in my room. In my previous home there were multiple cats, but we do not know how we interacted with one another. I should not be introduced to existing pets in my new home until I have had a chance to adjust to my new environment on my own. Compatibility:Cats: YES!!! It would be best to go to a home with a confident feline friend that I can bond with and who can show me the ropes. I am most likely going to be a `cat`s cat` versus a `people`s cat`.Dogs: No history possibly if mellow and cat-savvyKids: Older, quiet, cat-savvy The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Story
Faisca: I am a friendly, playful guy! I will need a slow introduction to my new home, starting off in one room that is unoccupied and a lower-traffic space, with all of my items. I should stay in the room until I have settled in and am feeling 100% comfortable. I am a playful, active guy who will need cat-savvy adopters to help me not become bored. I will need someone to provide me with enrichment and a variety of toys. My adopter will need a close relationship with a veterinarian since I am an overweight guy and I need a plan with a veterinarian to help manage my weight loss on a healthy basis long-term. I have a gallop rhythm. This is an abnormal heart sound which can indicate underlying heart disease. An echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) is the only way to determine the significance of a gallop or other abnormal heart sounds. Some heart conditions may require monitoring and medications, while others may not require treatment. Some heart conditions will worsen over time and some will not. It is recommended that the adopter see their primary care veterinarian to discuss further testing for this finding. I have evidence of dental tartar or gingivitis and may benefit from dental cleaning in the future. Follow up with a primary care veterinarian is recommended for ongoing dental health recommendations.Cats: Possibly, no known history. Cat-savvy Dogs: Possibly, no known history. Cat-savvy Kids: Possibly, no known history. Older, cat-savvyThe shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30 pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Story
Diamond: I am a handsome guy, friendly and social with visitors and strangers. I will need a slow intro into my new home, starting off in one room that is unoccupied and a lower-traffic space with all of my items. I should stay in the room until I am feeling 100% comfortable. I would be like to the king of my castle and have all of the attention on myself. I would like to be the only pet in the home ,and live in an adult-only home. I will need a close relationship with a vet. I am an overweight guy on a special diet to help me lose weight. I also received a dental while in our care and was treated for Upper Respiratory Infection. My URI is cleared, and I am ready to start writing the next chapter of my story with my adopter! I will always need access to water! While in the adoption center it was noted that I have increased drinking and urinations. The underlying cause has not been definitively diagnosed: however I have normal kidney values with isothenuric urine (not well concentrated). There are several possible causes for this including chronic kidney disease, which is a chronic, progressive disease and is less likely at this time, diabetes insipidus or psychogenic drinking (behavioral). Psychogenic drinking is a behavioral response to stress and is uncommon in cats. Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which animals are unable to retain water and excrete excess water in their urine. There are tests that can be done under close supervision of a doctor to help differentiate these two syndromes. It is important that my adopter not restrict my water, and I should always have access to water unless otherwise instructed by your veterinarian. There may be further investigation recommended by your primary care veterinarian that is beyond what can be performed in the shelter. It is important that Diamond is provided with enough water to drink and a large enough litter box for urinations. Adopting Diamond requires a close relationship with a veterinarian and additional testing and treatments may be recommended beyond what was performed in the shelter. Compatibility:Cats: No, Thank youDogs: No, Thank youKids: No, Thank you The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30 pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Story
I am energetic and playful, and I am looking for a family who is excited to keep me busy with appropriate outlets for my energy! I am a snuggly lap cat once I have had an opportunity to settle in. I struggle with transitions so I am looking for an adopter willing to give me as much time as I need to settle in. This may take a couple of weeks or longer, but it will be worth it in the end! My success will be dependent on how well my adopter is able to read and understand my cat-body language. It is recommended that I be set up in my own space (an extra bedroom or bathroom) - a space that people or pets will not use unless going in to clean or feed. I should be left alone initially as I adjust. This space should include plenty of hiding places, ideally with access to a vertical surface such as a cat tree or a cat-proofed shelf. I can gradually be given more access to the home when I am confidently moving about my environment with relaxed body language when my adopter visits me in my room. I may be conflicted about close handling/petting. I should be thought of as a `pet myself on you` kind of cat until I am comfortable with my adopter, versus them coming up to me. Once petting has been initiated, use `consent tests` ... remove hands briefly to give me an opportunity to opt back into pets, or show I am all done. A fear-free vet is recommended since I struggle with close handling for vet care and might need some level of sedation for future visits. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. Compatibility:Cats: No thanks!Dogs: No thanks!Kids: Older kids who are comfortable with a hot and cold cat

Magic: I am a pretty girl, and I would like to be the queen of my castle and have all of the attention to myself! I would like to be the only pet in my new home, and I would prefer an adult-only home. I have had access to the outdoors, which I have enjoyed, and a safe outdoor option such as a screened in porch or catio is something I would appreciate. I will need a slow introduction to my new home, starting off in one unoccupied room with all of my items. I should stay in the room until I am feeling 100% comfortable in my new surroundings. I recently had a dental with a few teeth removed, and the remainder cleaned and polished. I will need regular veterinary care and monitoring of my teeth. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30 pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. Compatibility:Cats: No, Thank youDogs: No, Thank youKids: No, Thank you
