Story
"Hi, there! My name is Coal, but you can call me Princess. That's what my foster mama calls me because I'm so petite, sweet, and special. I love snuggling and am very affectionate. My all black coat is super soft which makes me your best cuddling buddy! I can be shy around strangers, but give me time to get to know you and I warm up quickly! I love playing with toys like feathers and string toys. I really hope to find my furever home with affectionate hoomans where I'm the only cat in the home. I hope it's with you! - 11/21/24"     If you'd like to meet this cat or think this cat would be a good match for your family, please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.trentoncats.org/adoption-questionnaire/ and let your references know someone will be contacting them soon.

Story
"Hi, there!  My name is Sir Ken, but my nickname is Captain Nubs!  My foster mama calls me this because I'm so adorable and I have a missing foot! Don't let this make you think I'm slow or inactive because all I love to do is run and play! My favorite things to do are wrestle with other playful cats, eat yummy food/treats, and play with string or feather toys! I really hope to find my furever home soon, one that has another friendly cat that I can play all day with and loving hoomans to take care of me. I hope it's with you! - 11/21/24"   If you'd like to meet this cat or think this cat would be a good match for your family, please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.trentoncats.org/adoption-questionnaire/ and let your references know someone will be contacting them soon.

Story
Meet Berg! This charming tabby-and-white gentleman has a story of strength and survival. Berg lost all his siblings to a heartbreaking virus, but this little fighter beat the odds and emerged even stronger. Once a shy and timid kitten, Berg has blossomed into an affectionate, playful, and outgoing boy who adores human companionship.   Berg was fostered in a home with young kids, who quickly became his favorite playmates, helping fill the space left by his lost siblings. In his own sweet way, Berg shows his gratitude for the wonderful people who helped him survive and thrive. He’s now ready for a forever family who will give him the love and joy he so warmly returns.
