Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Roscoe is a big boy. He is 8 to 9 yrs old. He is orange and beautiful. He needs a quiet home with maybe 1 or 2 people. He needs a loving companion. Some one on one time. He is a little skiddish. He eats dry food but I'm sure would love some wet food once in a while. He is litter box trained. He has a back story that I will be glad to share with the new adopter. I want him to have a home where he is allowed to be himself. Where he can be a cat. Play and be played with. I want him to have an opportunity to have a good life for what ever time he has left. He's healthy. Just needs attention. He deserves it. He's always alone. 99.9 percent of the time. It breaks my heart and something needs to be done.

Story
Toby needs a happy home! Toby came to me in December as a sick stray cat. He was terrified of people. After months of working with him and feeding him, he eventually became one of the sweetest cats I’ve seen. He enjoys baths and being drenched with the hose on a hot summer day, laps for really long naps, and lots of churros. Toby had stomatitis in his mouth and needed all his teeth removed. He now has his four front teeth. This does NOT hinder him, he just needs water to soften the food. He is also FIV positive but gets along with my cats and is not phased by dogs.

Story
Valerie is 2 - 3 years old; we are not sure. She was found outside in a cat colony where a rescue group was feeding. But Valerie was very tame and affectionate. Her foster family describes her as the sweetest, most loving cat. She loves to be picked up and rubs her head against your neck. She is living with other cats in her foster home and would probably prefer a more calm environment. She wants all of the attention from her humans. She did test positive for feline FIV but negative for leukemia. She can live as long as cats which do not have the disease (please check online), cannot spread to to other pets unless there is a deep bite (not spread through grooming, sharing food, water or litter boxes) and cannot spread to humans.

Story
Butterscotch is a big orange male cat who was found as a stray. A local homeowner was feeding him but he was looking ragged. So he went to the vet and was treated for an upper respiratory condition. He has also been neutered and received his vaccines. He is a playful and sweet boy (like most orange male cats) and is enjoying feeling better and eating regularly. He would love to be your indoor cat. The homeowner would keep him but his other cat is very territorial and doesn't want a housemate.

Story
GiGi is approximately 3 years old and weighs about 12 lbs. She does well with dogs and other cats. She loves to be petted and will sleep with her foster family if allowed to. She doesn't like to be picked up but will sit on the couch with you and allow you to pet her for hours. She would fit into any household if it is not too rowdy. Her eyes are either green or golden depending upon the light. She is not spayed yet, but has an appointment.

Story
Timothy was a stray and was not in good shape when he was rescued. Now he is inside and loves it. He has eaten himself to a healthy weight of 7.5 lbs and has all of his vet services. He is very affectionate with his foster family. He loves to snuggle up and get petted around his head and ears. He shows you how happy he is by head-butting your hand. He rides well in a carrier, never misses his litter box, is not bothered by other cats. He will be a wonderful pet for any family. He is estimated to be a little over 2 years old.
