Story
Tig Nopawro may have a comedic name, but underneath his adorable tabby tuxedo coat is a sweet, sensitive soul. This 3-year-old boy was rescued from a local shelter after his fear in such an environment put him at risk of euthanasia. But with time, patience, and love, he’s proven he just needed a safe place to come out of his shell. Once arriving in foster care, Tig took about a week to warm up—and now he loves pets and attention! He even enjoys snuggling up on your lap while you watch your favorite Netflix series. This guy is a top-notch, A+ cuddler, but you might not realize it when you first meet him. He’s still nervous in new environments, so he’ll thrive best in a calm, predictable home without kids. An experienced cat owner who understands shy kitties and is willing to give him the time and space he needs to feel safe would be ideal. Tig Nopawro is a bit of a chatty catty, especially when he’s feeling stressed or bored, so if you’re looking for a best feline friend (BFF) who will tell you all his feelings, he’s your guy. He would love a catio or sunroom where he can safely watch the birds and squirrels—one of his favorite pastimes! Because we don’t know his history with other animals, we don't know how he’d do with other cats or dogs, but a proper introduction would be key. The 2 times he was cat-tested, he first acted afraid of the other cat, and the second time, a week later he had no reaction apart from wanting to meet the cat. It's likely he could adjust to living with another cat as well as a cat-friendly dog with a proper intro. Tig Nopawro is looking for an understanding human who will give him the time and patience he needs to feel safe and loved. Could that be you? 🐾💕

Story
Buzz was rescued from the Crow Indian Reservation with a severly injured tail. We do not know what happened to him but we got him to the vet immediately where we were informed that his tail needed to be amputated. This is a very painful surgery but Buzz was so sweet and confengial with the staff as well has his foster mom. He seems to be grafeful for the help and to have a safe, warm place to lay his weary head. The vet estimated Buzz to be between 2 and 3 years old. Such a sweet kitty who is looking for a home to keep him safe and loved.

Story
With her beautiful and unique mackerel tabby markings, Ginga is certainly a gorgeous kitty! She was rescued as a stray and can be frightened about new situations, but her foster momma is excited to see her getting more confident every day! It's amazing what patience and love can do! Now Ginga purrs nonstop and loves to sit in her foster momma's lap, be held, or roll around on the floor for lots of good skritches. Sometimes she's hard to get photos of because she wants to be so close to people! This girl has the gentlest, most affectionate soul, and it's clear that she is grateful to be out of the cold. She did have a mildly irritated eye, but ointment has cleared that up quickly. She is approximately 7 months of age and approximately 8 pounds. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/cat-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $150 will help defray the costs of the spay/neuter, vaccinations and vetting.  Please note, Circle 2 Rescue cannot guarantee the breed, composition or ages of our cats as we usually have limited history prior to them entering the rescue. ##2289284##

Story
Are you hiring? This is working cat is seeking a job in a rural environment such as a farm, stable, or garden center where they can enjoy the freedom of outdoor life with the safety of a familiar place and a committed caretaker. Working cats span the spectrum of sociability, with some cats quite inexperienced and fearful of people, preferring to work from the shadows, and some cats who will eagerly rub against your boot and join you for your outdoor chores. Some working cats may amaze you with the mouse catching antics and athleticism, and some may be more hands off, discouraging pests with their presence and scent. Looking for a particular personality? Ask our team about finding the right cat for your environment. To set your new farm hand up for success, we recommend setting up a cozy, confined space replete with food, water, and litterbox. After a week or two of enjoying the amenities of their new environment they'll feel much safer staying put and getting to work. Have a big job? Ask our team about cats that may enjoy working in pairs or groups. All working cat adoptions are fee-waived, with spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and ear-tip included.

Story
Loki is a sweet and affectionate 6-year-old cat. He gets along well with other cats, kittens, dogs (big or small), and especially people. Loki loves attention and will often be found curled up on your lap. He warms up to strangers quickly and would make a wonderful addition to any family. I am rehoming him because I am moving out of the country and believe it’s in his best interest to find a new home. I’m committed to finding him the best possible family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Story
Reuben is my best friend. He has been with me for 7 years and is roughly 10 years old. He has his quirks. He is house trained and very sweet. But he ultimately needs to be in a home more suitable for him. He has some separation anxiety and plays/bites rough sometimes. I have never seen him with another cat, but I believe he could function well with them. He is not a shy cat and LOVES being around people and loves attention. Ultimately I am moving in with a dog and he does not get along. The best possible situation is a one cat household with someone that can give him all the love he deserves.

Story
I have had Baby since she was born, her mom was my first cat. She is turning 12 years old in February and she is in great mental and physical condition. I have been taking her to regular check-ups, blood work and dental cleanings. She is a little bit on the chubby side, but according to her vet, she is incredibly healthy for her age. She absolutely loves people, warms up to anyone, even to complete strangers immediately. She has lived with multiple dogs and cats in the same household before, and even though she might not warm up enough to become best friends with them right away, she doesn't mind to share the couch or the bed with them. She is a very sweet kitty, loves attention and has never shown aggressive behavior in her life. Her favorite things are cuddling, chasing her laser pointer and sitting in the window all day looking at birds and squirrels. She has always been an indoor cat and not a huge fan of going outside at all.
