Story
My friend adopted Frankie a couple of months ago but she lives in a college-owned apartment and the resident does not allow cats to stay there anymore so unfortunately she needs to give up on Frankie. Frankie is 2 years old. He is self-obsessed with his paws, he does not like anyone touching them. He is potty trained and friendly. He can be your best cuddle buddy. He loves your attention and head scratches. He loves to lay on top of you when you lay down in bed give you head bumps and ask for scratches. He is not very fond of getting picked up or hugs but he likes forehead kisses. He is a very adorable fella and would not make any mess in your room. He is fully vaccinated and safe. He isn't very fond of toys but would play with random objects like your lip balm or pen. If you plan to get Frankie I can sell you his bed, litter box, litter, food and bows for cheap so you don't have to get it new.

Scotch is a very laid back and chill cat. He gets along well with my other cats and did fine around my dogs when I still had them. I’m looking to re-home him due to having more cats than I can properly care for on my own. He is neutered and up to date on his rabies vaccine. He is a bit over two years old and is an indoor only cat. He does have all his claws as I don’t believe in declawing. He can be playful at times but likes to spend a lot of his time just laying around and being near people or the other cats.

Houdini is a very active cat who loves to run around and play. He gets along well with my other cats and did fine around my dogs when I still had them. I’m looking to re-home him due to having more cats than I can properly care for on my own. He is neutered and up to date on his rabies vaccine. He is a bit over two years old and is an indoor only cat. He does have all his claws as I don’t believe in declawing. He is very playful both with toys and other cats, although he can play a little rough with others. He can be pretty demanding for attention at times, and enjoys being pet and scratched.

Story
I can be slow to warm up in a new environment but with the help of understanding humans I adjust well. I like to meet all the people who come to visit, occasionally getting a little possessive and swat away any of the other cats around so I can have all the attention. I enjoy laying around in the sun with other cats and getting pet. I am not an active boy but I make up for it in cuddles and lap time, when I'm excited to see someone I give pretty gentle love bites. I would love a nice quiet home with a human that would tend to my every need, your reward will be a loving purr and some headbutts. If you think that sounds like fun you should put in an application today!This 4 year old purrfect felines adoption donation is $75 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, flea/tick preventative, and dewormer.

Story
I came to Safe Haven with my sibling who have all been adopted. I love meeting all the people who visit, I will come right up to you for some cuddle time. I get along pretty well with the other cats I've met at the shelter, I have shared rooms with others my age and older cats. I can get a little carried away when I play, because I'm still young I still want to play like a kitten. A home with another cat with my energy level would be the best so we could play and wear each other out and then lay around with our humans for company and cuddles.If you think you'd like a guy like me in your life, please submit an application today.This 10 month old purrfect felines adoption donation is $75 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, flea/tick preventative, and dewormer.

Story
I was born at the shelter with my brothers who have all been adopted! It's just me and my momma, Flower. She has shown me that its good to be around people and get their attention. I don't mind being held, but prefer to find a lap to settle into for some cuddle time. I am pretty quiet and have been know to keep to myself but will always come out for some gentle petting. I like to watch and play with the wand toys here at the shelter and cannot get enough of those little temptation treats. My mom showed me that they're good, she also showed me wet food is delicious, we get on really well together. If you have room in your home for a girl like me (and maybe her mother too) you should put in an application today.This purrfect felines adoption donation is $75 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, flea/tick preventative, and dewormer.

Hi,I can take some time getting used to new places and situations, but once I've grown accustomed to my surroundings I want lots of petting and lap time. I came from a home in which I was the only cat and it wasn't very fun. Here at the shelter I spend my days with Talent and I love it! I need to go to a home with at least another cat if not more. I also enjoy playing with water from time to time and would like to have some playtime to burn off some of my extra cat energy. I like to talk to everyone, I will greet people with some happy chirps and chitters, and follow them around so I can get the prime lap spot when they sit down. I am currently on special food for urinary issues and should not be taken off it without consulting the veterinarian you'll be taking me to if you adopt me. If you're interested in adopting me please submit an application today. This young man's purrfect feline adoption donation is $75 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, flea/tick preventative, and dewormer.

I am a super friendly cat that just had a little trouble before I got here...I got pregnant. Now my babies are born, healthy, and being adopted its time for me to find my furever home. I love attention. I want all the tummy and neck rubs you can give. I get along really well with the other cats I've met here at the shelter too. I share a room with the last of my kittens-Violet, we're both beautiful black cats who love to play and get plenty of cuddle time from the humans who visit. If you think you have room in your life for a sweetheart like me (and maybe Violet too) please submit an application today!This 1 year old purrfect felines adoption donation is $75 which includes spay, microchip, rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, flea/tick preventative, and dewormer.

Hi,I came to the shelter with my mom-Willow when I was only 2 days old! Now after a few weeks in foster and some vetting I'm ready to be adopted! I am a really sweet boy who likes to play around with others, but I do enjoy a good nap too. I am getting used to life here at the shelter and meeting new people is interesting, I am a very relaxed young man and can be quite the couch potato. I am looking forward to finding my furever family, if you're looking for a special kitten like me please apply today!This purrfect felines adoption donation is $75 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, flea/tick preventative, and dewormer.
