Story
Hello, my name is Anu! I am a 2 year old tuxedo cat who arrived at CHA with my friend Kancha when our owner could no longer care for us. I am a very affectionate and sweet young cat who loves to snuggle with people and be groomed by Kancha. I am great with people and other cats, and I would thrive in a quiet home where I could be a doting lap-cat. Kancha and I are a bonded pair and would need to be adopted together, so if you`re looking for a loving, laid-back duo, come to CHA and meet us today!

I brought her back from Hawaii when I was there for work. She was part of one of the many cat colonies on the island. Was about 16 weeks when I first got her. Nervous at first but WILL warm up. Loves to sleep with you when she feels at home. I have 4 other cats and they beat up on her…One male in particular. Not sure why. It’s not fair to her and I feel bad. I have given it plenty of time and it Just seems to be getting Worse. I love her and it breaks my heart. I Want her to be happy. She’s a good kitty but spends a lot of her time hiding behind the dryer because she’s so stressed out.

Story
Dad was found with his girlfriend and two kittens in an unsafe area by S IH-35. He got along well with his girlfriend and kittens, but they were scooped up and found homes. Dad was fixed and put back on the streets before anyone noticed how friendly he was! A nice human stepped in and noticed his health was deteriorating outside and had no constant source of food or water. He was taken inside to focus on his health. Turns out, he LOVES being around people! Dad thinks toys are ok but prefers getting pets and sitting next to a loving human or snuggling at night! Although Dad tested positive for FIV (weakened immune system), FIV cats tend to have normal life spans when cared for and the majority never experience complications. FIV is only transmitted to other cats through blood transfusions and serious penetrating bite wounds. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. Dad would be the healthiest as an indoor cat but a bonus to have access to an enclosed outdoor space.
