Story
Diamond is a tan Torbi (Tortoise shell and Tabby mix) with beautiful eyes. Diamond and Tanza, mom and son, are sweet but shy kitties that need a home to call their own and a special person or family that will give the time, love and patience they need to become great companions. Both like attention and to be petted. Tanza is good with being picked up and cuddled but his favorite thing is play, play, play and curl up next to mom. Diamond is not a fan of being picked up but wants human friends and is very loving.  We are looking for a foster-to-adopt home for them together where they can blossom a become part of a family.  ##1481255##

Story
Sammie is a super friendly, playful, affectionate, people-cat. It only took her one day of sniffing around and exploring my place and lounging under the couch before she came out with tons of confidence, purrs, and playfulness. Our normal routine is that she gets up at our usual time, meows a few times near the bed, (and if it's the weekend and I ignore her, she stops. She is patient for such a young cat and very quiet during the night). Her two favorite toys will have been dragged near the bed early in the morning. She likes a mouse wand toy and a random piece of string. We play for about 15 minutes and then she may eat. She prefers pate and her favorite is Fancy Feast Seafood Feast. She's a slow eater and it sometimes takes hours for her to pick at her food bite by bite. A little more play time before work and then when I come home, she'll come out purring and happy to see me, and we play some more with her toys. She enjoys chasing toys in short bursts, pretty often during the day so I move the wand around for her frequently. She will need play to be happy. She is not into any treats I've tried and isn't very food motivated. She isn't scared of loud sounds; thunder or loud machines didn't bother her, but every now and then she'll hear a sound she doesn't like and growls at it. She's not a fan of car rides; she nervous-pooped in the carrier when I brought her home, but even though we had just met, she was very docile when I was cleaning her off in the bathroom, and let me give her a sponge bath without any struggle. She's not interested in my plants--doesn't bother them or chew on them. After you come home from being away, she wants to be close to you so will sidle up to you on the couch, pressing her little warm soft body against you or jump into your lap or attempt to share your chair. Sometimes she'll sit up high near the window and look out to watch birds. When you take a bath, she'll be on the bath mat hanging out with you and purring. When you sleep, she will sleep on the edge of the bed, close by, or between your feet, and it's so nice to have her calm energy there. Sammie is an excellent companion, warm and soft and sweet and loving. ##1815260##

Story
Stormy came to us when a kind person took her in during tropical storm Ophelia. This gorgeous silver gray tabby girl was going from house to house, trying to get in out of the rain. Someone realized she needed help and called us. Stormy was apparently left behind when someone moved away. She loves all people and is a happy cat. She is not demanding and will appreciate belonging to a family. Stormy is not a fan of other cats. We are not sure about dogs. Please consider giving Stormy a forever home. She deserves better than to be left out in the rain! ##1838670##

Pepper is a sweet one year old lady.  She is a kind gentle girl that was found pregnant outdoors and humanely trapped.  She had four beautiful kittnes that have been adopted. Because of her gentle demeanor, she take a little time to acclimate.  Once she feels safe in her new stable environment, she will blossom to the lovely lady that we know.   Email sunshinescatrescue@gmail.com with questions.   ##1865657##

Story
Silas (m) - My name is Silas, I am a young, handsome, healthy boy in need of a new person. I was surrendered to my foster because my human's other cat did not like me, and we could not be in the same space together without fur flying. I need to be an only child! I am loving and playful with my people friends, but I do not like to share their attention. Please give me a chance to be the fur companion of your dreams. I will not disappoint. ##1918807##

Story
Shaneequa is the sweetest cat ever! She behaves more like a dog- she's incredibly inquisitive, friendly to everyone she meets, and absolutely loves cuddles! Unfortunately, she has been experiencing digestive issues that we have not been able to regulate. We’re unsure if this is due to stress from her changing relationship with her sister, as they no longer get along. To ensure her well-being, Shaneequa needs a loving family who can provide her with the care, patience, and support she deserves. She thrives on affection and would do best in a home where she can be the center of attention, free from the stress of feline conflicts. Her digestive issues are still being assessed, so she’ll need an adopter who is willing to work with a vet to find the right diet and possible treatments to keep her comfortable and healthy. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who will fill your home with love and cuddles, Shaneequa could be the perfect match for you!
