Story
This is Lady! I do not know her real age. Lady came to me as a pregnant stray, about 12 years ago. She is incredibly sweet, loves pets and pats and strings, and even belly rubs! Be warned though: She has claws and does enjoy an occasional rough play. Due to her age, she does not always maintain her own coat and needs to be brushed daily. Lady also requires her nails to be trimmed as she does not "pop" her claws often at all. Lady does have medial needs. She has many, many skin allergies and will scratch herself around her face, ears, and chin, but this has been controlled by vet visits roughly 3-6 months apart during which she receives a steroid shot called the Depo (different from the human version!). The shot is also supplemented with topical creams (Animax) for any hotspots that develop. Lady is bonded with Nova, who will be 9 years in March, and so both MUST go together. Lady had been an outside cat but is now STRICTLY Indoors.

Story
Nova is 9years. Nova was brought home to Lady as a weaned kitten and has been attached to her since. Nova is highly curious and very much wants to investigate new things and areas all the time. Nova is incredibly people friendly and enjoys being picked up and carried like a child. Nova has a quirk about her - she enjoys licking and playing with all kinds of plastic! She does not eat people food, but does want to sniff at times. She has never stolen from a plate. Nova loves to climb and sit on counters and cabinets to better supervise her household. She can be a little jealous, as when Lady is being snuggled, Nova will wiggle her way in too. Nova loves to chat and talk with people and ekekek at the birds. While she is docile and gentle, she does make her displeasure known in little growls and grumbles, but fear not! She has never bitten. Nova has her claws and uses them in play often, but can be gentle with hands. Her favorite toy is a mouse. She has always been an inside cat.

Story
Hi, I'm Elektra. I've been raised in a loving foster home with my brothers Blade and Gambit. They have both been gone for about a month now. I'm the one with no collar. Blade and I were both very scared, hissy, not handleable, and I took it one step further with swatting and growling. Gambit can't possibly be related to us because he is way too nice! I still have a lot of work to do but I have come a long way. I used to hide all the time, but I have started to come out more to play. I really like chasing wands and strings. I still don't like being touched but I will tolerate it when given squeezable treats. I am looking for a forever home that is willing to go the extra mile to teach me that humans are actually kind of nice to be around. A quiet home that is patient, kind, and understanding that I may take longer than other kittens to warm up. Come back for updates on my progress in my foster home. Update 10/25: I have warmed up more to pets and even can be heard purring at times. I have a really nice kitty tower that is my safe space. I am more accepting of scratches and love and have the cutest little squeak/meow. I can even be seen rolling around and showing my tummy. Occasionally, I will come out for scratches and even sat on my foster mom's lap last week. I am still pretty nervous around strangers. Slowly but surely making progress.

Story
Hello, I'm Theo! I'm a shy but affectionate cat looking for a friend who understands me. I've been a little stressed since arriving at the shelter (it can be a pretty scary place for a cat), so I've been a little slow to open up and show off my true personality-- however, I do enjoy wet food treats and gentle pets. I would probably prefer a household that is pretty quiet and doesn't have too much hustle and bustle. I did live with another cat previously (Luna), and may adjust to new feline friends after a slow introduction. My foster says "Theo is a very sweet and affectionate cat. Starting off, the first week or so, he was very shy and timid and hid under the bed. He would come up to me when I would show him his wet food, but wouldn't come out from under the bed. Gradually, Theo came out and started to explore the room. Theo is still shy around new people and typically comes out when I am in the room with the door shut. He loves to come visit me when I get home with a few meows and then jumps on my bed purring and wanting pets. Theo has been eating, and using his litter box, and he loves wet food, catnip, and certain toys."

Story
Hello, I'm Bastet! I came to CMHS recently after my family fell on hard times, and they wanted to make sure I was well taken care of. In my last home I lived with older children and another cat (Serket), and would likely adjust to others in a future home. I've been pretty stressed at the shelter, so I haven't been able to show off much of my personality. I can be a little more wary of new people and places, but once I settle in, my previous family said I was a good boy. I think I would like a nice quiet place to call home, with plenty of hiding places and cat trees to climb.

Hi, I'm Hannah! I'm a chatty and snuggly gal, looking for someone to love. I lived a pretty rough life before coming to CMHS, so I can be a little wary of new people and situations-- but once we're friends, we'll be inseparable! I really love to be pet. I mean, REALLY love to be pet. I'll even get up to follow and bump my head into your hand if you stop before I've had enough! I would really love a nice quiet place to finally relax and curl up in a bed.
