Story
Mums (short for Chrysanthemum), was initially rescued from the euthanasia list when she and her kittens ended up a shelter with ringworm. She lived happily with her adopters for several years and even gained a companion named Effy, but her family opted to surrender them to us when they had a child with severe cat alergies. Mums is quiet and a bit shy, but when she is ready to snuggle, she will be all over you demanding head and belly rubs for as long as you can supply them. She will gladly share your bed as well if you offer. If cats had a love language, hers is physical touch. Don’t let her fool you, she’s not just in it for snuggles, she loves her active times and will happily engage in toy play or have a rumpus with her bonded “sister” Effy. Mums is also highly food motivated and would benefit from a bit of a diet or more movement in her day. Mums is more independent and with time and patience she will seek out companionship. These two girls would make perfect companions if you are looking for very calm personalities and want cats that seek out affection through pets and snuggles. They are perfectly content to lay beside you and be your couch buddy. Watch a video of Mums and Effy here: https://youtu.be/29oZLimo30I Requires another cat: Mums and Effy are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted togetherGood with other cats: Yes, with proper introductionsWould be fine with young kids (under 10): Lived with a young child at their previous home and did well Good with dogs: UnsureHome activity level: Quiet to averageHealth concerns or special needs: No We believe this cat is 5 years old. It is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $75 for the Effy and Mums together which covers age appropriate vaccines and dewormings, a microchip, FIV/FeLV testing, and a spay/neuter. The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures.

Story
Effy is a 4-year-old short-hair Torbie. Between Effy and her BFF Mums, Effy is more likely to explore and check out a new environment. She is full of meows and will lovingly demand attention. Effy is also very much a shadow and will follow you wherever you go. She loves a good snuggle but will play hard with you, by herself, or with her bonded “sister” Mums. Effy and Mums were surrendered to us when their family had a child who is severely allergic to cats. While not at food motivated, she definitely knows the sound of a can of food opening. She loves to hunt for toy mice and enjoys being brushed. These two girls would make perfect companions if you are looking for very calm personalities and want cats that seek out affection through pets and snuggles. They are perfectly content to lay beside you and be your couch buddy.

Story
Meet Bodhi! She's an outgoing girl and after she's had some time to warm up to you, she always wants to be where the action is. She's a social butterfly and will come running to see what is going on! Bodhi is a great combination of sweet and playful. She loves to climb to the top of the cat trees but also loves a good “sun nap." She also loves to snuggle!  One of Bodhi's favorite things is to wrestle  with her brother River and then curl up next to him for a good nap.

Story
Shrek is a gentle giant who embodies the spirit of a cuddly teddy bear in a cat's body. Once a stray who endured the harshness of life on the streets, he bears the scars of his past, including a BB gun bullet lodged in his side—though it doesn't appear to cause him pain. Now, in the warmth of his foster home, Shrek is thriving; his fur is growing back, and he's discovering the joy of regular meals and love. With a heart as big as his chonky body, this affectionate and playful cat craves attention and loves being near his humans. Shrek's adorable clumsy antics will keep you entertained, and his sweet nature makes him a joy to be around. Though he’s FIV+, he can happily coexist with other non-positive cats and has done well with dogs too. Shrek is ready to fill your home with warmth and laughter—if you’re looking for a loyal companion who will melt your heart, our big boy is waiting for you! Shrek is a Flame Point Siamese born approximately 9-5-21 and weighs 12 lbs. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative FeLV; positive for FIV.
