Story
Roxy needs a special home as she is heartworm positive. She is not a fan of other cats. She needs a calm home for the best outcome for her condition. Heartworm cannot be cured in cats, only managed. She must have monthly flea and parasite Revolution treatment applied to keep the heartworm under control and needs to avoid overstimulation. She's a beautiful tortie, who was left behind in an apartment after her people moved, claiming she was "feral." She has been with us since December 2023.

Tippy and Bibi are at the Pawsitive Cafe. They are a bonded pair. They would love a quiet home where they can spend time together. You may see them cuddling or playing with each other if you happen to be at the cafe at a quieter time of day. Tippy will come out on his own during the day at the cafe, but he is happiest and at his most playful when his sister Bibi comes out later in the day.

Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Buzz is FIV+ But don’t let that discourage you. He is set to live a long healthy life because he has sooo much love to give. We especially encourage a slow introduction to other cats in the home to establish harmonious living. Buzz loves to play but serious cat fights need to be avoided as the only way FIV transmits is through biting another cat and breaking the skin. While not aggressive to other cats, Buzz was getting a little too rambunctious with kittens, and his newfound confidence also led to more posturing and defending around other male cats, so in the interest of safety, we have pulled Buzz from the Pawsitive Cafe. Currently he is seeking a new foster home, but he is also available for adoption at any time. If you already have cats in your home, as with any new animal, a slow introduction (a process we can explain or refer you to resources for) should ensure harmonious living and no risk of his immune condition transferring.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Molly is a lively 1-year-old white and brown tabby cat with a cute pink nose and a clear preference for being the only pet. This spirited girl has a bundle of energy and enjoys engaging in play sessions with wand toys, interactive toys, and lick mats, which help channel her enthusiasm in fun and healthy ways. Molly appreciates a limited amount of scritches, preferring mostly to play and explore on her own terms. Due to her vivacious nature, she would thrive best in a home without young children, where she can receive the attention and space she needs to flourish. Molly is looking for a loving home that understands her need for activity and can provide her with the playful environment she loves.

Khloe is a 3-year-old petite calico with a shy and gentle nature, ideally suited for a tranquil home environment.

This sweet girl is looking for a loving home where she can feel safe and cherished.
