Story
Hello there, my name is Zelda!I spend my days dreaming of a forever home that is as calm and zen as my sweet personality. I`m quite the cuddly companion, especially in the evenings when I`m at my snuggliest. While I`m not too keen on being picked up, I adore sitting beside you, sharing moments of quiet comfort. I can be a bit shy when we first meet or when there are loud and sudden sounds, a calm family would be the best match for me. If you`re looking for a sweet, mellow friend to share your quiet evenings with, I would be the perfect companion. MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I would be best suited to a mature and calm home, without young children. OTHER CATS: I might be a good match with a friendly cat after a slow and proper introduction.DOGS: I might be a good match with a cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: Yes, but experience with shy cats would be an asset.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumIf you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!

Story
Hello Friends, my name is Garamond!I’m a shy brown tabby who takes my time to feel comfortable, so I’d do best in a calm, adult-only home where patience and gentle guidance are part of everyday life. New people and busy environments can make me nervous, but I respond beautifully to quiet encouragement — and treats are my absolute favorite way to build trust and confidence! Once I feel safe, I love curling up in cozy spots, enjoying soft pets, and even snuggling on a warm lap if I know you’re patient. I’m playful in small doses, curious about my surroundings, and always learning to feel braver every day. With a kind, understanding human who lets me go at my own pace, I can blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who will bring quiet joy, gentle purrs, and a lot of heart to your home. If you’re looking for a treat-loving, cautious tabby who thrives in a calm, patient environment, I could be the perfect match.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: No, I would prefer a calmer home given I can still be timid and am working on my confidence.OTHER CATS: I could be a good match with a friendly cat after a slow and proper introduction.DOGS: I could be a good match with a cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: I would do better in a home with cat experienceACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-highIf you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!

Story
Hello world, my name is Russett!Otherwise known as the wiggly-wonder of GHS - as I always seem to be on the move. Pounce on this toy, zoom after that toy! It makes it hard to get a good photo of me, but boy do I look adorable. After a long play session, there`s nothing better than snuggling up for a nap. I love making new friends, and I`m really good at making people laugh with my goofy antics. If you`re looking for a loving, playful, and slightly silly companion, I`m your kitten! My new family should know that I arrived to GHS with an injury to my hind leg that required a surgical repair. I have received so much loving care and I have recovered very well. My new family will need to help me slowly rebuild the muscles in my leg with exercise while keeping me from being too rambunctious right away - no high perches or big jumps for me just yet. Once I fully recover, I should be able to do all the normal kitten things.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could be a good match with respectful children.OTHER CATS: I could be a good match with a friendly cat after a slow and proper introduction.DOGS: I could be a good match with a cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: YesACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-highIf you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!

Story
Hello everyone, my name is Comic Sans!I’m a curious kitten with a sleek midnight coat and bright eyes, and while I’m still building my confidence, I’d thrive in a home with some cat experience. New people and unfamiliar places can make me a bit nervous, so I like to hang back and observe until I feel safe. Once I settle in, my playful side really shines — I love chasing toys, exploring cozy hideaways, and, best of all, curling up in a warm lap for gentle snuggles. I absolutely adore treats, which are the quickest way to earn my trust and bring out my affectionate side. With patient humans who let me go at my own pace, I grow more confident every day and show just how sweet and loyal I can be. If you’re an experienced cat lover looking for a cautious little panther who loves lap snuggles, treats, and gentle companionship, I might be the perfect match for your homeMY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could be good with calm/respectful childrenOTHER CATS: I could be a good match with a friendly cat after a slow and proper introduction.DOGS: I could be a good match with a cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: I would do better in a home with cat experienceACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-highIf you think I would make a good match for your home, please scan the QR code to apply!

You are very welcome to drop by during their business hours to see me play!I am a lively little kitten with endless curiosity and the energy of a tiny tornado. I spend my days zooming across rooms, pouncing on toys, exploring every new nook I discover, and following people around just to see what they’re up to. I’m playful, fearless, and always ready to make new friends—whether they’re humans, pets, or anything that moves. When I finally slow down, I love curling up beside someone warm, purring contently as I knead my paws and drift off. If you’re looking for a social, adventurous, and affectionate buddy who brings constant joy and entertainment, I’m your perfect match.CHILDREN: I would be fine in a house with childrenOTHER CATS: I might be a good match with a friendly cat after a slow and proper introduction.DOGS: I might be a good match with a cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: YesACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-HighIf you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply
