Story
This is Terry! A shy sweetie just looking for a life of companionship. Terry appreciates slow and gradual introductions while he's adjusting to new people and places. As he settles in, his curiosity will get the better of him, and he'll cautiously start exploring. He'll also reveal that his favorite hobbies include playing with his beloved toy mouse, being petted, and birdwatching. Terry is quite the little character. He's chatty and not afraid to let you know when he's hungry. His generous purr tells you how much he treasures your love and attention. Terry loves to stay close to his humans and get plenty of pets. At night, you'll often find him resting on the floor nearby. This well-mannered boy doesn't jump onto the kitchen counter or table and is great with the litter box. He's also a master at "hunting" wand toys, zooming, jumping, and tumbling with excitement. He has a fun and energetic spirit. This little charmer brings so much joy every day! Terry is looking for a home where he can continue to blossom into his best self. Are you ready to give this sweet soul the loving home he deserves?

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I'm Fleur, and I'm a little shy at first, but once you've won me over, I'll be glued to your lap. I love being pet and picked up - just don't get too clingy. I'm all about quality cuddle time, not quantity. Sleeping next to my foster human is my jam, and I'll happily snooze the day away with you. Playtime is fun, catnip is life, and watching TV is my secret guilty pleasure - I've even been known to 'help' with textbook reading. Adults or families with older kids, come and get me - I'm ready for my forever home (and forever cuddles)!

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tetris is here to give black cats the cute and cuddly reputation they deserve! She is a bit timid when she first meets new people, but once she's warmed up to you she wants all the attention. She loves to be pet and she's a big fan of playtime, anytime! She always game to chase around one of her favorite string toys. Tetris likes to be high up so she can look out upon her whole kingdom; you can always find her atop her cat tower or up on countertops peering down at you. Her signature move is rolling over at your feet for some belly rubs while serenading you with her classic chirping meow. She would thrive best in a fairly quiet/stable home that will be able to give her the time she needs to adjust to a new environment. And she would love to have another kitty playmate with her to keep her company while the humans are away at work or school. She's so ready for her forever home and to give lots of love and cuddles to her new family!

Story
Hey folks, Snake here! Give me a sec to thaw out, but once I'm sprawled out for belly rubs, we'll be thick as thieves. I'm a total sucker for attention - laps, picking up, petting, you name it. My cat tree's my happy place, and toys are my jam, especially those pesky mice and string thingies. Having a fellow feline roommate to get this purrfect party started sounds like a blast. Human-wise, as long as you're cool with a high-energy kitty, we're golden!

Her personality is sassy she will let know know how she feels and she is so funny! Loves to run around and hide! Also loves to hide and seek! We can’t keep her because my newborn developed an allergy to her hair! We have tried but is hard to see him with red eyes and sneezing! He is just too little. Unfortunately we can’t keep her but we want to find a good home for her! She is lovely.
