Story
Ralph appeared on our doorstep as a 7-week-old kitten in August 2019 so he is now 6 and 1/2 years old. I moved from our three-story house to an apartment in December 2020, and then into a smaller apartment in January 23. Now I am moving across the country into an even smaller place and cannot take him with me. He is a friendly cat, and will go up to new people to say hello. He has had a good relationship with a chihuahua but has not been living with a dog recently or with another cat. I think he would thrive with more space and more activity around him than I have been able to give him for the last several years. He can be grumpy, and the vet has prescribed kitty Prozac to smooth him out. I wonder whether that would be necessary in a larger space with more than one person. He is a great companion and I will miss him terribly.

Story
Gotcha is a 8.5 year old boy who came to us from a home that could no longer care for him. Adorable Gotcha would love to be your new friend! This friendly boy adores attention and showers his people with head bonks and snuggles. He would be a perfect companion for someone who enjoys a cozy night with a good book. He can be timid when meeting new people, but once he realizes pats are on the table, he warms up quickly. Gotcha loves being patted! He has a cute little meow and enjoys mealtime chats. Gotcha likes the company of other cats and is also great with the small dog in his foster home. This handsome boy is a real catch! Gotcha is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Gotcha has been diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes is a condition where a cat cannot regulate their own blood sugar due to an inability to make enough insulin. Our adoption counselor would be happy to chat with your more about Gotcha and any questions you may have about diabetes. Adoption Fee: $175 If you have already submitted an application with us, you do not need to do another one, please email adoptioncounselor@mrfrs.org if you are interested in adopting Gotcha. We will take inquiries on a first come, first served basis via email. If you have not completed our questionnaire, please do so here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MER/Cat

Hi, I`m Little Man. Don`t look at me, I didn`t choose my ridiculous name, but I do respond to it when called.I`m a bold boy, almost always first to explore and am brave with new things, so sometimes I may get into troublesome places as I explore and play. As much as I am a people cat, I can be headstrong about my kitty habits in exploring. I`m a vocal boy. I`ll be talking to you a lot, so I hope you love my meows.I have decided I love to snuggle, and get as many pets as possible, so I`d love to sleep on you while you watch TV and even in your bed if I could. I did like to sleep near my foster mom. I have also lived with dogs in my previous foster home, although their growly little chihuahua wasn`t a big fan of us cats!Once I settle in, I will probably be a stereotypical kitty comfortable in almost any home that allows me to do those silly `kitty` things, but I will definitely share all my love with you and will want all of yours as well.

Story
Meet Britt! Britt and her brother Brice are two of the lucky survivors from a litter of five after their mama abandoned them at only a few weeks old. A kind finder reached out for help, and these resilient kittens have been thriving ever since. Both are playful, curious, and love spending their days chasing toys, wrestling with each other, and eagerly awaiting mealtime. They may take a moment to greet new people, but once they feel comfortable, their personalities truly shine. Brice is the more outgoing of the two, while Britt is a bit shyer and prefers to hang back at first. That said, once Britt warms up, she’s right there competing for attention—especially at feeding time, where she’s known to paw Brice out of the way so she can eat first! These sweet kittens would love a home where they can continue to grow, play, and feel safe and loved. Come meet Britt and Brice and see if one (or both!) might be the perfect addition to your family—you won’t be disappointed. Apply today at capeannanimalaid.org/catapp
