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
 A New Tween Christmas Wish from Onyx . Onyx is a sweet black tween with a tiny white star on her chest and the most captivating gold eyes you’ve ever seen. Her three tabby sisters have already found their forever homes, and while we know black cats can sometimes take a little longer to be adopted, it’s hard to imagine how anyone could pass up this special girl. Onyx gets along beautifully with other cats and even her foster’s standard poodle! She’s currently still with her foster because we didn’t want her to be lonely, waiting by herself at the adoption center. Instead, she’s been thriving—playing, socializing, and showing off her gentle, loving personality. Do you have an adult cat who could use a playful new sidekick?Could your family be the Christmas wish that Onyx is hoping for? . Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Thank You!  (Foster:  Sue K.)December 23, 2025, 12:07 pm
