Story
Meet Foxy, a playful and affectionate sweetheart who adores attention and cuddles. With her charming personality, she’ll quickly steal your heart as she purrs and snuggles up beside you. Foxy is independent and doesn’t need an animal friend—just a loving human to dote on her. If you're looking for a loyal and playful companion, Foxy might be your perfect match! She does have a heart murmur, but it doesn’t affect her daily life, and with regular yearly checkups, she’ll live a long and happy life. Foxy is ready to bring love and joy to her forever home! Foxy is FIV/FeLV negative, up to date with vaccinations, flea-treated, dewormed, microchipped, and spayed. Her birthday is estimated to be around 6/8/2023. ##2272969##

In a galaxy not so far away, two adorable and affectionate cats are looking for their forever homes. Introducing Luke and Leia!

He seeks attention and isn’t shy about asking for it.  Luke is super curious and loves exploring.   As soon as he sees his people he gets so excited and will shower you with affection by doing figure eights around your legs.  Luke likes being with other cats and dogs.  Come meet Luke today!   Luke is up-to-date on his vaccines, neutered and microchipped.   May the purrs be with you!   If interested please fill out an application at EHRcats.org.  February 23, 2025, 10:49 pm

Story
In a galaxy not so far away, two sweet and affectionate cats are looking for their forever homes. Introducing Luke and Leia! Although they do like each other they are not bonded and do not need to be adopted together. Leia's affectionate nature and friendly demeanor make her the perfect companion for cozy nights and playful days.  This Princess is ready to curl up in your lap and rule your heart. This little lady is all about affection, and once you meet her, you’ll be her loyal subject. She LOVES to sit on your lap for hours, purring happily while you pet her. When she’s not cozying up to you, Leia is ready for action – especially when it comes to toys! Her favorite? The cat wand. She’ll swat, chase, and leap through the air like a true Jedi in training. If you're looking for a companion who’s always by your side (and lap), Leia is your perfect match.  Like all Princesses, Leia loves everyone, including children and other pets.  Won’t you consider giving Leia her forever home.  Leia is up-to-date on her vaccines, spayed and microchipped.  If interested please fill out an application at EHRcats.org.  February 23, 2025, 10:49 pm

Story
Gray cats are known to be affectionate, social, playful, and curious.  Are you looking for these qualities?  That’s me, Cooper!  I am a good, affectionate, playful, and gentle boy.  I was abandoned by my previous owner although I don’t understand why since I just want to be loved and love back.  I am energetic, love to be held and cuddled, be petted, play with toys, eat yummy cat nip treats, and to roam and explore.  I promise I am a good boy and will make you so very happy if you give me a chance.  I lived with an active foster family with other cats.  So, are you looking for a handsome boy who just wants attention and a well-deserved new home?  If so, please fill out an application at ehrcats.org for Cooper and come meet me at 11th Hour Rescue Adoption Center in Rockaway Mall.  See you there!  Love, Cooper February 23, 2025, 10:49 pm
