Story
May Short Hair Black Spayed Female Estimated Birthdate: 7/16/2021 Meet beautiful May! This sweet feline was found living as a stray and when her rescuer (now foster) began providing food, it was discovered she was pregnant. In the first few weeks, she was quite confused, but with patience and love, her gentler, playful nature began to shine through. After successfully delivering and raising her kittens, she is now ready for her furever home. She is friendly on her own terms. She is a bit of a gentle nipper, especially when she is hungry, so we think she would do best with adults and older children that understand how to interact with her. She is playful and enjoys chasing after anything attached to the end of a string. She also loves to lay on cardboard. May's new family must understand cats and have the patience while earning her trust. She is a wonderful cat who deserves a loving home. We think she would be happiest being your only pet and the center of your attention. May is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and treated for parasites. Her adoption fee is $125. Do you have the purrfect home for this beautiful girl?

Captain Arthur Hastings Shorthaired White and Gray Male -- Neutered Estimated Date of Birth: Aug 8, 2023 ** Special needs! Arthur takes three heart medications and sees a veterinary cardiologist regularly. ** Hi, everybody! I’m Arthur, and I’m the adorkable boy of your dreams! I came to Tigerlily with my mama and sisters after a nice person brought us inside and contacted animal control. I was just a wee boy then with my eyes barely open, so the comforts of inside and home life are all I’ve ever known. I’m a loud-purring, super-playful boy who loves watching the world outside, and loves toys and playing fetch! I will happily play fetch with a Q-tip or catnip puff until I’m ready to nap. I get along really well with my older foster sibling cats, especially my foster uncle, who will cuddle and play with me. I definitely want a friendly cat to play with in my forever home. I love when my foster cousins visit -- they're a little older than me, and I have a blast cuddling and playing with them! My foster mom says I would probably be fine with older, quieter human kids, but not little kids or dogs because of my heart condition. About my heart -- I have rare heart conditions called endomyocardial fibrosis and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, along with other resulting cardiac issues. I see a veterinary cardiologist regularly and take three different medications, but I have no restrictions on my activity! I can play as much as I want to. My cardiologist says that I will likely have a shorter life than other cats, but nobody can know for sure (she knew a senior cat with my condition). I am determined to have the best life I can and to do as much as I can with whatever time I have. Life is good! My forever family should be committed to giving me my medications daily and taking me to my cardiologist and regular vet as needed. I love to cuddle with my foster mama or just sit right by her while she works. I snuggle up next to her every night at bedtime, at just the right place for her to pet me. I give kisses and purrs on command, and I soak up praise for my long legs and silky soft fur. I’m ready for a forever home that is as special and loving as I am! Are you my purrfect purrson? Love, Arthur Arthur is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and treated for parasites. His adoption fee is $125.

Lola (with Georgie) Short Hair Orange & White Spayed Female Estimated Birthdate: 7/5/2023 Meet adorable Lola! She is very curious, sweet, and playful. She is very helpful with dishes by making sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. She loves to play with string and hunt her toy mice. She is shy around new people, but a good head rub behind the ears will help put her at ease. Lola will nibble from time to time, so she would do best in a home with older children. Lola gets along very well with other cats with proper introductions. She would love to be adopted with sister and best friend, Georgie! Lola is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and treated for parasites. Her adoption fee as a pair with Georgie is $200.

Georgie (with Lola) Short Hair Orange & White Spayed Female Estimated Birthdate: 7/5/2023 Meet beautiful Georgie. She is very sweet and playful. Her favorite activities are bird watching, batting at foil balls, and chasing strings. She is shy around new people but after a good chin scratch, she’ll be purring and wanting more pets.

Georgie is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and treated for parasites. Her adoption fee as a pair with Lola is $200.

Sammy Short Hair Black & White Neutered Male Estimated Birthdate: 4/2/2024 Hi, I'm Sammy! I'm an energetic little fluffball that loves to run and play! I came to Tigerlily as a tiny baby without a mom and had to be bottle fed. I love to chase toys with my human friends, but I'll need another young cat in my home to wrestle and play with too! I would do best around slightly older children, that already know how to interact with cats. I've never met a dog, so please be patient if you introduce me to one. Will you be my furever home? Sammy is neutered, has age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and treated for parasites. His adoption fee is $125. Do you have the purrfect home for this cute boy?

Sylvester & Tiffany (Bonded Pair) Sylvester ~ Short Hair Black Neutered Male Tiffany ~ Short Hair Black Spayed Female Estimate Birthdate: 9/5/2023 Meet Sylvester and Tiffany! We are a very tight knit, super close brother and sister duo. We are happy together and wish to stay that way for our remaining lives. We prefer to be the only 4-legged family members in our home. Our shy nature makes us take longer than usual to adapt to new places, so please be patient with us. It is probably best to start in a small room before allowing us to roam free in order for us to adjust. We both would love to have free roam of a new home and we cannot wait for that day! We are a very loving pair and if you feed us daily, we will naturally fall in love with you too. We can be very playful, after all, we are still very young. We can be very frisky and playing with our human friends is always on the top of the list of things to do! Both cats are fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and treated for parasites. Their adoption fee is $200 as a pair.

Story
Absolutely wonderful cat. She loves to sit up on your shoulders and find various hiding placing in your home. Very talkative, loves to chat. Very skilled spider hunter, haven't seen one in my house since we got her. She's 3 years old this year, and still just a bit bigger than when we got her as a kitten. Super cuddly, will come up and sit in your lap for hours. She has this really weird thing, she likes her back pat gently, near the base of her tail. She goes crazy for it and when you pull your hand away, she'll meow and pull your hand back toward her. I trim her nails at home, she is very calm. Tolerates with other cats, can be a little mean to other cats and sometimes she does get a little jealous if they're getting all the attention. Doesn't mind my 2 big dogs at all, unless they're annoying her, in which she usually just hisses and runs away. Her favorite kind of toys are ones that allow her to hunt. We have a few hunting toys that we will give with her, She loves them.

Hi everyone, my name is Ares and I am the most handsome, black-and-white, neutered male cat. This is my best friend Athena and she is a beautiful, spayed female, tabby cat. We have never been apart. We do absolutely everything together and we hope to find a home where we get to stay best friends for life. Besides, cats are always better in pairs. I am super playful. I love interactive toys that move and have lights. I have crazy fun with them and I will entertain you with my silly antics. Athena is very confident. She uses vertical scratching posts while I use horizontal ones. Athena prefers to be a lapcat, soaking up the warmth and cuddles. We are both friendly, affectionate, playful and litter box trained. Apply today and prepare to bring home two bundles of love to make your family complete for the holidays. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip and 30 days of free pet insurance. Adoption and Foster Care ApplicationComplete this form and a volunteer will contact you to answer questions and to schedule a meet-n-greet. Shop our Amazon Wish List to gift us supplies we need and have them shipped directly to us.. NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of cats is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable cats, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each cat or kitten as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our cats based on personality, not by breed label. Adoption Process: Complete the application at www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
