Story
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**

Everyone say hello to Janie!Janie has been hanging out with us for several weeks now after coming in as a scared stray kitten. She is a certified lover girl and wants ALL the attention. We don't understand how someone could have lost or let go of such a sweet little thing because she obviously had known love from a human before coming here.This calico cutie has a mouth on her and isn't afraid to yell for some extra attention! Janie would make a fabulous addition to a home with lots of love to give or maybe a home with children for her to play with. She does excellent with the other kitties she shares her space with and doesn't seem to mind the sounds and smells of the shelter dogs.Adopt Janie and have a permanent cuddle buddy!**Spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & 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**
