Story
Cat-Friendly!!  Does your cat need a pal?  Please meet Jodie!  Jodie was briefly at one of our adoption centers, but he missed being with his brother that was still with their foster.  One of the volunteers commented, 'Our experience at the center is that Jodie's big body hides a tiny kitty who doesn't feel secure in the world, especially around people.  He NEEDS other cats.  I can't emphasize enough that he really wants to be around other cats and takes comfort from them.'   Jodie is back with his foster and brother and is feeling calmer and enjoying belly rubs. We have no idea how the world was treating Jodie before he came through our doors, but we know he needed a friend to help him. If you have a cat that is looking for a feline friend, or if you are looking to adopt a pair of cats, please consider offering Jodie a home.  Thank you. Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Vanessa H.)February 2, 2025, 6:03 am

Story
This new friend has just arrived! They have come to us either as a transfer from another shelter, being found as a stray, or have been surrendered to us by their owner. When our friends are new to us, we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, comfort with handling, or experience with other pets or children. Our staff will spend some time reviewing any information provided by previous owners and spend some time with our new friend so that we can better update their biography. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific cat but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! We may require all household members, including children, to come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
ABOUT PUMPKIN PATCH! Meet Pumpkin Patch, our beautiful one-year-old calico girl! This pretty lady was brought to HAP as a stray mama with her babies. We decided to give her a break, so we sent her kittens to foster, where they could learn to be a little sweeter! Pumpkin Patch is a strong-willed woman, as one must be when you're a single mom on the streets! She definitely prefers when things are done her way, though she isn't aggressive when things can't go her way. She enjoys hanging out with people, though she isn't much for snuggles yet. She likes to watch other kitties play, and sometimes she'll join in! *Pumpkin Patch does well with other cats, though she can be pretty dominant. We recommend she go to a home with no dogs and no kids. ** If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

Story
Hi, my name is Comet! I was found scared and all alone when I was only a few weeks old. I found my way to my Foster Mom and she got me cleaned up and all healthy! Since I’ve been alone with no mommy or siblings to teach me how to be a kitty, I learned from my Foster family! I would do best and love to find a home that has another kitten, cat or even a senior cat. I have never met a dog or child before, but as long as they are gentle and patient, I’m sure we would become best friends. I love toys with bells or any type of ball, scratch posts, anything I can climb, and my favorite thing to do is to run! I am food or toy motivated and would make the perfect fluffy little companion for anyone. Please consider making me a part of your family! To help make me more comfortable, my Foster Mom has sent a special goodie bag with my favorite toys and treats to go to my new home with me!  Instagram: @catsrunthishouse  Comet is about 5 months old as of 01/23/2025.   Hi, my name is Comet!
