Story
I'm the least likely cat to be adopted. Not because I'm the oldest. I'm 11 in cat years (that's 60 in human years). Some cats here are 14, but they're sweet lap cats. I'm not. My owner died in July 2023 and I was brought to SPCA Florida. I was one of many cats and was never petted. I was named Ringo because they didn't know I was a girl. Day after day sit I on my cat tree where I feel safe, looking out the window. Whenever anyone tries to pet me I hiss because I'm scared. Only one person is brave enough to pet me. When she does I lean against her hand to have my cheeks rubbed. I was adopted once, but was returned. My adopter said I did not bond with her. She was right. I will probably never be a lap cat. I may never bond with anyone. I know it will take a very special person to share their home with a grumpy, scaredy cat like me. . . but miracles sometimes happen.

Story
Hi! I'm Lilo and some of you might remember me from my first time at Orlando Cat Caf. I love people and sitting on towels every chance I get! However, I disliked my last feline brother so much that we simply couldn't live together. So I'm on the search for my furever home and hope to meet you soon! Everybody here loves me and I'm loving the attention that they're giving me. Let's see if we have chemistry!

Story
She is 5yrs old. We adopted her from Spca. We also adopted another male cat a year ago and this cat is being very dominant towards her. She pretty much lives on our dining table and refuses to get down to use litter box. We dont like seeing her live like this and truly believe she would be fine in a different situation. Shes good with kids until they start chasing her. Gets scared easily. Very sweet. Very small....about 5lbs

Story
This is Adam and Eve. They are a bonded pair, so they need to be adopted together. They are very sweet kitties and love attention once they warm up to you. The previous owner could no longer care for them as she traveled so much, and she couldn't give them the attention they needed. Due to circumstances, Adam and Eve may be subject to a pre home visit. Please only ask about them if you have room for both and remember when adopting a bonded pair. If one is returned, they both must be returned.

My name is Gemma, I love attention ,exploring, climbing on you, being petted. However I don't really like being picked up or held. I'm more of an on my own terms kitty. So be careful cause I fight to get down if you pick me up and I may unintentionally scratch you. I need a forever home with someone whom has patience and understanding. Maybe one day I won't mind being held. Please consider giving me a forever home with you!

Don't you just love tuxedo kitties?! This is Mia, who is available for adoption. She's a true Tuxedo with her shiny black and white coat, white socks, little white stripe, and the most adorable black heart on her nose. Mia is about a year and 6 months old. She's loving and playful but is very much independent. Mia is used to living in her foster home with two small dogs and two other cats but would prefer to be the only pet in the household. She would also do better with older kids. Contact us if you're interested in a meet and greet with Mia.

Story
Sadie is an approximately 2.5-year-old, solid black kitty with pale green eyes. She's an attention-seeking girl with a wonderful personality. While all the other kitties are gobbling up their treats, Sadie is practically doing somersaults to get noticed by our volunteers! She just wants some lovin'. She'll jump onto a nearby shelf and nudge your hand for head and chin scratches. Since we trapped Sadie was in a cat colony, one of her ears is tipped. The plan was to release her back, but she was so friendly we decided to adopt out this lovable kitty. She gets along very well with other cats and would do fine with a small dog. The ideal home would be one with someone who can furnish her with the love and attention she longs for. We would prefer someone who works remotely from home, or a mature person or couple who can a provide a quiet environment to give her the time she needs to adjust. She would be comfortable with older kids, but no small children. If interested in meeting Sadie, contact us to set up a meet and greet.
