Story
  Meet Gracie, a tiny girl who came into rescue skinny and expecting kittens, even though she was barely more than a kitten herself. The good samaritan who was trying to help her said she was regularly climbing trees to escape stray dogs and coyotes in the area.  Gracie is petite, with the cutest tiny feet and a heart shape on her little nose! She absolutely adores people and makes friends with everyone.  While Gracie is not really a lap cat, she thrives on human companionship and wants to be near her people all the time. Gracie's foster dad works from home several days a week, and he reports that she is an excellent administrative assistant, walking across his keyboard to "correct" his work, making  popular guest appearances on Zoom calls and "sorting" papers for him. She loves to play with a pen or a paper clip, too!  Gracie's ideal home will be with people who are often around to keep her company. She is good with respectful older children and with slow introductions, we think she could easily live with cat-savvy dogs. (There are two in her foster home.) While she does prefer to be the only cat, Gracie has lived with other tolerant cats.  Gracie is about 2 years old, spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines. She would love to meet you and add you to her list of favorite humans.  November 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

LIzabet is a lovely girl looking for her own furever family. She came to our rescue as a pregnant momma cat but lost her kittens. She has been a surrogate mom to many of the little orphans that have come through our rescue but she longs for a home of her own.  She loves belly rubs and cuddle time. She gets along with cats, cat friendly dogs and would be good with older children.  She is a sweetie pie just looking for someone to love. To apply visit STFFAR.orgNovember 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

Story
Found as a young struggling mom during a large scale Trap/Neuter/Return effort, we saw something in her that just wasn’t feral! Although she can still be shy at times, this pretty girl with the unusual mustache (is that an oxymoron?) and the silky coat has become quite a little house cat! She is still learning the ropes and will require someone who is patient and loving, but knowing you are giving her a home and enjoying the love she gives in return will be your reward.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org November 5, 2024, 5:55 pm

Story
Truly an Angel, this sweet kitty lived outside for several years having several litters of kittens. Thankfully an older gentleman provided food for the homeless kitties dumped on his property. He contacted Paw Prints and Angel came to us with her little “mini me” kittens. An excellent momma, she’s looking for her happily ever after home. Angel had dental surgery to remove several bad teeth, resulting in her little pink tongue occasionally sticking out. Angel is an affectionate, gentle and calm companion to her foster home. She will thrive in her own home where she doesn’t need to share the love and attention she deserves.   For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org November 5, 2024, 5:55 pm

Lilibet is precocious and playful. She’s a little tease! She is shy initially but warms up quickly and is very sweet once comfortable with you. She gets along great with other cats and does well with calm dogs. She would do well with another kitty.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org November 5, 2024, 5:55 pm

I’m a black beauty named Sassy Sally. I’m a tad shy at first, but it does not take long for my sassy nature to come through. I love soft beds and cuddling up with my foster buddies. I have a window where I watch birds and squirrels. It's my cat tv. I am good with other kitties and would do well in a home with another kitty.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org November 5, 2024, 5:55 pm

Story
Ruby is a spunky ball of cuteness with her black mask and nose. She loves to leap and play with wand toys—really, any toys except catnip bubbles. Those she's not too sure about! Ruby carries toy mice in her mouth and brings them back to her "den," aka covered bed. She loves her brother Max to sleep, groom and play with! Being adopted with Max would be ideal, but she'd do well with another friendly kitty to play with, or a family able to give her lots of attention.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org November 5, 2024, 5:55 pm

Story
Max is a super cute boy with his little black freckle on his pink nose. He is a very tender-hearted, sweet fellow, with a big purr. He will lie next to you, and in time will likely become a lap cat. Max adores his sister Ruby and will snuggle up with her at nap times. They play together as true kittens do! Max would love to be adopted with Ruby but if not, he'd like another kitty friend who likes to play and cuddle!  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org November 5, 2024, 5:55 pm

Story
Smoky is an 8 year old precious and friendly 3-legged cat. She loves to be close by for snuggles and pets. She loves to be brushed, rubbed around her neck, and under her jaw. Her 3 legs don’t slow her down and she’s great with stairs, hoping on and off beds, etc. Smoky likes to be close by but she also likes a little alone time here and there. She used to have another cat friend in the home and she had no issues! She does well around babies and toddlers, but mostly keeps to herself or hangs out in another room when youngsters are around. She’s shy at first, but once you get to know her, she loves a good chat and to keep you company! We’re looking to find her a home before mid-December, before the arrival of our second baby.
