Story
Hi there, I`m Theodore and I am 2 years old. I am a handsome grey tabby boy. I came to the shelter from a nearby animal control where I was owner surrendered with my friends, Alvin and Simon. How sad for us. We are friendly boys, very sweet and social. We enjoy snuggles, pets, toys to bat, a cat tree to lay in, and just being with each other or our human friends. We are relaxed and easy to get along with. If you think that one or maybe two of us could be a good fit for your family, please fill out an online application so we can meet soon. I may just be that perfect forever addition for you!

Story
I am a big and handsome guy! And just so, so sweet. I love to play but mostly I love to get attention and be petted! I was adopted as a young kitten but returned for having blood in my urine. It was due to crystals so now I eat special food but I use the litter box perfectly! I am a bit shy at first but come around quickly. A also love a nice lap to curl up on and adore head scratches. I have never lived with dogs, but seem okay with cats as long as I have a space of my own. Won`t you come meet me soon? I think you`ll like me!

Story
Tunes! What can we say about Tunes except he is one in a million?! Tunes was a bitty baby last summer when he wound up in the home of a shelter foster mom who bottle-fed him and his siblings. Sadly, they were plagued with health problems and Tunes was the only survivor. He spent the first half of his life fighting for it, with continuous respiratory and eye issues. Happily, he has grown out of most of those issues but may still need an occasional antibiotic for eye flare-ups. None of that stops him from being the sass-bag we at the shelter have all come to learn and love! He is funny, and pushy for love, but isn`t always so sure how to respond to that love. Staff describes him as playful, affectionate, and aloof, and we honestly can`t think of any better words to describe him! He is currently living in one of our open cat rooms, where he gets along with most of his roommates.

Story
9-month-old, dilute torti, Wynonna and her mother came to us from another rescue that was a bit overwhelmed and needed help. She was shy but is coming around so nicely! She is still not fond of being picked up--so would be better with adults and older kids--but she loves being petted. And she really loves canned food! She is playful and would probably enjoy another cat for company. She is just the cutest little thing!

Story
Hi there, I`m Darrin, and I am 1 year old. I am a handsome brown tabby boy. I have no shame in my game when it comes to pets and give little head butts to get them and big purrs when I do. I will happily sit in laps for snuggles and pets. I am playful and easy to please when it comes to toys. Any kind of toy is good as long as someone plays with me. I like to play with other cats, so I would do great with another young cat who would play with me. I do well with kids too! They say I am sweet, lovable, and easy to get along with.

Story
Hi there, I`m Rodeo and I am 7 months old. I am a soft, handsome, brown tabby boy. I was transferred from animal control to TAPS after I was not claimed. I am currently living in an awesome foster. My foster mom has this to say about me: `Rodeo is good with dogs and cats after the introductory period. When he is not eating or playing, he wants to be snuggling. He enjoys being held like a baby and purrs nonstop. He would make an excellent family cat.` If you think that I might be a good fit for your forever family, please fill out an online application, so my foster mom can set up a time for us to meet!

Story
Displaced by hurricane Helene, both girls (sisters) are about 8 months old and are fully vetted and current on vaccines. Both could use a bit of time to decompress and gain some socilaization skills with a new family, as they are a bit shy after their ordeal. Could be adopted together or separated. No rehoming fee, just hoping to find someone to give them a loving permanent home for the holidays!!

Story
Jiji was a very loved cat, but had to be returned when her mom became ill. Ever since then she’s been very unsure about things. Sometimes this can come out in her hissing, but really she’s just very scared. She loves laying on or in a cat tree, especially by a window. While scared of new people are scary, when she does let you pet her she has the softest fur you’ve ever felt. She has beautiful eyes and the cutest face. Her previous adopter said one of her favorite things about her was how Jiji would start purring really loud just when she would look at her. There has to be someone out there who is patient and understanding, willing to let Jiji adjust to a new forever home.  Her $75 adoption fee covers her spay, vaccines, deworming medication, and flea/tick preventatives and microchip registration.

Story
Haze is a cat who knows what he wants. He gets nervous when people are standing and moving about and if you come to pick him up, he will swipe at you with his murder mittens. But, if you are calm and sitting down, minding your own business, he will come to you and cuddle and purr. Sometimes, the hardest to get to love you are the most rewarding. Surely there is a patient person willing to meet Haze on his own terms? He makes an adorable cooing meow when he's calling for you or other kitties' attention. His $100 adoption fee covers his neuter, vaccines, deworming medication, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives and microchip registration.
