Hey, I’m Befana, and let’s be real—I’m kind of a big deal. Left on the shelter’s doorstep with my kittens on Christmas morning, I’ve been waiting for someone who can handle my bold personality. I’ve got a strong cat-titude and might not be the friendliest with other cats, but I know how to hang out with kittens like a pro.If you’re looking for a sassy, no-nonsense kitty who’s not afraid to let her opinions be known, then I’m your girl. I’m ready to find a home where I can reign supreme and show off just how fabulous I am. Think you can handle me? Come meet me and find out!**Spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, and up-to-date on vaccines**

Story
Gypsy is a middle-aged cat that was surrendered to us several months ago, due to no fault of her own. She can be best described as "cool, calm, and collected." She doesn't mind the company of another cat and someone's lap to sit on- but she isn't a fan of loud or chaotic environments...so you can imagine how shelter life can be pretty stressful for her. She can be super affectionate once she's comfortable and in her groove, but it may take her some time to warm up to new faces and places. Gypsy is a smaller cat and is purrfect for someone with a relaxed lifestyle looking for a cozy couch companion. She's in fantastic health and has plenty of her 9 lives ahead of her. If you'd like to give Miss Gypsy her happily ever after, please submit an adoption application! **Spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, and up to date on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Story
Hello, I’m Luna. I’m a very shy senior cat who’s been through quite a lot lately. I was surrendered to FDHS because I was so stressed out in a busy, multi-animal home. Now, all I want is a quiet, gentle place where I can spend my golden years in peace.I’m a bit timid and easily overwhelmed, but I have a lot of love to give to someone who can offer a calm, comforting home. If you have a soft spot for senior kitties and can provide a serene space, I’d be so grateful. Please consider giving me a forever home.**Spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, and utd on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Hi there! I’m Chimi, your future cuddle buddy!Oh my whiskers, I’m so excited to tell you about ME! I’m Chimi, the sweetest, softest little kitty you’ll ever meet. I had a bit of a rough start when my mama left me and my sister all alone, but some super kind humans rescued us and brought us to FDHS. And guess what? One of the nice people here raised me as a bottle baby! That means I got tons of snuggles and learned all the best things about being a house kitty.I loooove humans and all their cuddles (Grade A snuggler, right here!), and I’ve even had big doggie friends, too! They were so fun, and I’d love to have some canine buddies in my new home if that’s okay. I’m a super social butterfly, so I promise I’ll be everyone’s friend—human, kitty, or pup!So, if you’re looking for a fluffy little princess to keep you cozy and make your heart melt, I’m your girl. Come meet me soon—I’m ready to bring all my sweetness straight to you!** Spayed and up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines & monthly prevention **

Hi, I’m Thyme!Let me tell you a little about myself. I’m a gorgeous gray and white kitten with a big heart and an even bigger love for snuggles. My sister Rosemary and I came to FDHS as tiny orphans, and ever since, the amazing staff and volunteers have made sure we were loved and cared for every single day.Because I’ve spent so much of my young life around people, I absolutely adore everyone I meet! I’m a total social butterfly, and I love hanging out with other kitties. In fact, you can usually find me right in the middle of a big cuddle pile with my friends. I’ve even gotten used to the sounds and smells of dogs, so I think I’d do just fine if you’ve got some canine buddies at home.What I’m dreaming of now is a cozy home for the holidays. I can already picture myself curled up on your lap, purring away while you sip hot cocoa. If you’re looking for a sweet, social little lady to brighten up your life, I might be just the one for you.Come meet me at FDHS—I’d love to show you how wonderful life with a kitty like me can be!
