Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Champagne and Nougat do not make great first impressions. They were VERY scared and hissy when they first arrived. Now, they'll give a meager hiss with no intent behind it. They enjoy pets and attention and will even make biscuits as a thank-you. They are CRAZY playful and love catnip. They'll need a home who understands that they're not going to wow them on first impressions or run up to the front of the kennel for attention. They'll need time, patience, love and catnip.

Story
Tiger Jr. is a controversial character at the shelter. He's covered in scars, likely from fights that he picked. He would prefer to be the only cat in a household. He loves who he loves, and ignores who he doesn't. For those that he loves, he's an incredibly affectionate cat and a certified seat-warmer. For those that he doesn't love, he does not allow himself to be seen. Recently, he has started letting more people into his small circle of friendship.

Details
Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lickerish and her sister, Cat Benatar, are looking for a home together. They have grown up at the shelter and have now been in a kennel for over 2 years. They have not had an opportunity to run or be normal cats. Despite this, they are constantly snuggling, grooming each other and playing in the small space they have. The reason these two are still waiting for a home is twofold: Lickerish has feline leukemia, which means she will have a severely limited lifespan. Somehow, Cat Benatar has tested negative thus far. As she has been exposed, she will have a higher likelihood of developing it at some point. These cats are so connected and bonded that we are choosing to keep them together, despite knowing that Lickerish has feline leukemia. The second part of the reason they are still at the shelter is because they are shy. With people they know, Lickerish is a lap cat and loves a good butt scratch. Cat Benatar plays a little harder to get but she'll circle and meow with bright eyes and such sincerity. They will need someone who can give them time to allow themselves to be who they are; they may always love each other more than they would love a human. We would love for them to find a home, especially as Lickerish is on borrowed time. Even a foster would be a step-up for them where they could live comfortably in a spare bedroom and at least have space to run around and properly play. They should be in a home without other cats or with other feline leukemia positive cats.

Story
Alright y’all. We have another odd couple that are looking for a home together. CJ is a petite little tortie with striking green eyes. She’s darling and she will follow her people around from room to room. She was previously very anti-humans, but has now decided she actually really likes petting. She won’t tolerate being picked up (yet) but she will likely continue to make strides.CJ befriended a cat at the shelter named Mel, one of our longest inhabitants. Mel also decided he likes humans, which is a new-ish revelation. He will allow himself to be held and loves/seeks out affection. He has a permanent grump face but we love him for it.These two fell in love. They’re often seen canoodling in the fluffy beds around the shelter or grooming each other to the point of PDA. They will need someone who doesn’t want lap cats. They’ll need a patient and understanding home and definitely someone cat savvy. These cats will likely continue to thrive in a home, but we want to make sure they stay together. An apartment or a home doesn’t matter to them: just each other.

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Homer, or Homie as he's affectionately known as, is an absolute troublemaker. He has two speeds: sleeping in the most ridiculous positions or throwing his oversized body around like a wrecking ball. His favorite artist is Miley Cyrus since he always comes in like a wrecking ball. He lives and breathes for catnip and that's truly the way to his heart. He thinks human affection is just so-so but likes to be around people. His favorite time to receive attention from you is while you are using your computer, by standing directly on your keyboard. If he were a human, he'd be an introvert who wants to be invited to social events but always declines going to them. He does have a history of overgrooming which has greatly improved since he's now semi-free range. He would likely do fine with big dogs in a household but he can be a real bully to smaller creatures.

Story
Here is Reece Whiskerspoon. She's been in foster since January. she was feral but now her foster mom can pet her and pick her up. This is huge progress with Reese Whiskerspoon. She is looking for a human who has a BIG heart and patience to give her the time she needs to open up and lots of love. Will you give her a chance today?Update from fosterer 2/19/24: “Reece was pretty much totally feral a year ago. By providing her with a safe space (my walk-in closet with a bed) I can now pet her. She will lay on the floor and let you pet her belly. I've even been able to pick her up a few times but the last time she popped me (I think I startled her). She needs someone who can give her space. She gets along with her kittens that I fostered failed. I'm working with socializing her with my other cats. I would love for her to find a loving home who will love her on her terms. Until that happens, I will continue working with her on trusting humans.”
