Story
Cindy wants to be so affectionate! She is a bit timid in the Cat House (we get it!), but you can often find her slinking out of her hiding place to get some pets. We still have a lot to learn about this girl, but we know she is going to shine in a less stressful environment.

Story
- Sanctuary Sweetheart - Sweet on his own terms, but also very scared of new people - Loves the company of other cats - Very anxious in the Cat House What my friends at Little Victories say about me: Samson loves the company of other cats, but he could take or leave human attention. He will exist in the same space as people and loves those with whom he is familiar, but he prefers to rub his head against his cat friends or cuddle up in a nice bed. Samson does warm up and become affectionate with those he recognizes and can knows he can trust. He is extremely anxious in changing environments, so consistency would be key for Samson! The best kind of home for Samson: Samson will need a family willing to be extremely patient with him. He would likely prefer to be in a home with other cats.

Story
- Sanctuary Sweetheart - Does not want human attention - Likes snacks! Especially squeeze treats - Besties with the other cats What my friends at Little Victories say about me: Sam mostly avoids people, preferring to spend his time resting with his cat friends in a hidden place. He is happy to co-exist in a space with people, but he prefers if they don't try to touch him. He will, however, warm up to a very patient human friend, especially if they bring snacks! Sam loves treats and cuddles with his cat buddies. He would do well in a multi-cat household. The best kind of home for Sam: Sam's future family should be willing to show extreme patience with him. In the right environment, he may come out of his shell. But for the most part, he is not a fan of new people or things. He does adjust to people who he is around often, but he does not want direct interaction with them most of the time. He loves to be around other cats.

Story
Kareem is fairly antisocial, but boy does this guy have character. He keeps to himself, usually hiding in one of the Cat House cabinets with his cat friends. He is very afraid of new people, but will be curious with familiar faces. He may not want much physical affection, but Kareem loves treats and will come running for a squeeze snack! The best kind of home for Kareem: Kareem's future family should be willing to show extreme patience with him. In the right environment, he may come out of his shell. But for the most part, he is not a fan of new people or things.

Story
Dean mostly stays to himself and avoids attention. Once he decides you aren't going to bother him without permission, he warms up a bit and becomes curious, especially around meal times. Mostly he just wants to nap with his cat friends and do his own thing. The best kind of home for Dean: Dean will require some patience as he does not care for attention he doesn't ask for. His future home should be a place where he can hang out on his own or with other cats.

Story
Pavio is quite the character! This sweet, affectionate, and social kitty loves attention so much that he can sometimes become overstimulated and a bit mouthy. Pavio knows what he wants and isn’t shy about herding you into a room to ensure he gets plenty of cuddles. He loves resting his head on your lap and staying close to anyone he meets. While Pavio doesn’t have the best track record with other cats, he can coexist if necessary. He’s a wonderful cat who needs an adopter willing to take things slow, as he can get overly excited and may lash out. A gradual introduction to his new home, possibly with his own room at first, will help him adjust comfortably. Pavio is a sensitive soul who just wants to hang out with his people. If you’re looking for a loving companion who thrives on attention, Pavio is the perfect match for you.
