Story
Meet Ginger – Your Future Snuggle Companion 🧡Ginger is a beautiful 7-year-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and so much love to give. She’s the kind of cat who will quietly steal your heart with her affectionate nature and her love of cozy companionship.This lovely girl absolutely adores curling up beside her favorite person for a nap. Whether you’re reading, watching TV, or just relaxing, Ginger will happily be right there with you, making every moment a little warmer.Ginger isn't fond of other cats. They cramp her style and prefers to be the only kitty. She has perfect litter box manners and a healthy appetite, making her an easy and low-maintenance addition to your home.She can be a little nervous around young children (especially energetic ones), but even then, she remains incredibly sweet and gentle. A quieter home or one with older children would likely help her feel most comfortable and secure. Her experience with dogs is unknown.Ginger is truly a special kitty who would make an amazing companion for someone looking for a loving, loyal friend. If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate cat to share your days (and naps!) with, Ginger might be the perfect match.Ginger's adoption fee is $50 and she is spayed, vaccinated, tested, and microchipped. Give Ginger the loving home she deserves—she’ll repay you with endless cuddles and quiet companionship. 🐾 All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Dipper and Mabel Pines:Just like their characters in Gravity Falls, Dipper and Mabel are a dynamic duo who love to explore the great mysteries around them. They are very adventurous and are consistently zooming around the room, darting in and out of tunnels, climbing, using the cardboard scratchers, and playing with toys. Mabel loves to drag a teaser toy around and, just like a pesky brother, Dipper will try to steal it! They are both very affectionate and love pets as long as they can return to play when desired so they don't miss out on any excitement. ☺️ Both of them are very food motivated and run to their wet food every morning and night. They're also litter box pros and are navigating making new friends. If you're looking for playful kittens who are full of antics, Mabel and Dipper Pines are your pair!!Since kittens often do best when adopted on pairs... you may apply to adopt one or both of them at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Their adoption fee is $75 for one kitty or $100 for both.They are spayed and neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
This distinguished gentleman of a cat is equal parts snugglebug, lap-warmer, and charming curmudgeon. Much like his famous namesake, Wilford Brimley (Brim) comes with a deep, soothing purr that could probably sell you oatmeal or read you a bedtime story. The moment you touch him—or better yet, bring him food—he rumbles like a bass note. Wilford Brimley the cat is an absolute people’s cat. He loves to be brushed, petted, cuddled, and adored by anyone willing to give him attention (kids included!). His “diabeetus” is well-managed these days by diet... and no longer requires insulin shots. That said, he’s a chow hound who can’t be trusted with an open buffet. He’ll eat any food in sight faster than you can say “Quaker Oats”, so he needs a family who can help him stick to his special diet. He enjoys regular brushing and his purr motor will let you know you are doing a good job. Now, let’s be honest: Wilford Brimley is not a fan of other pets. Dogs? Absolutely not. Other cats? He’s unpredictable at best, scrappy at worst. His ideal role in life is as your one-and-only—your faithful companion, your lap-warmer, your oatmeal-commercial co-star.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, people-loving cat who will give you endless love (and a touch of dramatic flair), then Wilford Brimley is ready to make your home his forever. Wilford Brimley (again, the cat) is neutered, tested, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.His adoption fee is $50! Follow Wilford “Brim” Brimley’s journey on our Facebook page. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Gourdo is a 8 month old petite black kitten wih a sweet personality and just the right amount of playful kitten energy. This handsome little guy is still learning that indoor life is pretty great. and each day he becomes a little more confident and curious about the world around him. Gourdo loves attention and will ask for pets and scratches when he is in the mood. He is also quite talkative and will chat with you about his day, which adds to his charm. He uses the litter box like a pro and even tolerates nail trimmings without a fuss...such a good boy! Gourdo enjoys playing, he gets long wonderfully with other cats and does just fine with dogs too. Because he enjoys feline company so much, he would likely thrive in a home with another friendly cat to help build his confidence. Since he is still adjusting to indoor life, he can be shy at first and may hide until he feels safe, but once things are calm and cozy, he is happy to come out and explore. Gourdo is not a huge fan of being picked up yet, he will tolerate it and he continues to grow more comfortable every day. With a little patience and love, Gourdo will blossom into an amazing companion and a sweet, playful addition to the lucky home that adopts him. If you would like to adopt Gourdo please apply for him at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Gourdo is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $75. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
This young, 5 month, little lady is Spicy! Yep, that’s her name, and she lives up to it! But don’t let that make you think she can’t be sweet. She loves her head scratches and playing, even with cats who are a little older. Spicy can get a little…well, spicy during playtime but a quick correction will calm her down. When it comes to bedtime, Spicy is a little reluctant, like most young ladies her age, she just wants to party all night. If you aren’t a night owl, it is best to keep your bedroom door closed so she can’t bring the party to you while you are trying to sleep. Spicy isn’t always on the move, she loves to cuddle just as much as she loves to party! So what do you say? Ready to add some spice to your life? Apply to adopt her at https://www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Spicy is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Adoption fee: $75 All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Like her name suggests, Valentina is all about love 💕. She is a sweet, friendly, affectionate 9 month old kitten who is happiest when she is getting attention from her people. As soon as you walk into the room, Valentina will greet you with her meows and then rub up against you until you acknowledge her. She loves to be held and lay on your lap, and has recently rolled over for belly rubs. Valentina is a good eater and uses the litter box well. She loves the cardboard scratchers and is curious about toys. Having been outdoors, she is still learning about the joys of playing and is slowly warming up to the other cats as she realizes they are friends and not foes. If you're looking for a match who will make you feel like the center of someone's world, then Valentina is your girl!You may apply to adopt Valentina at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Her adoption fee is $75. She is spayed, vaccinated, tested, and microchipped. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
I adopted Everest as a kitten in 2021. She is very shy but extremely sweet. Once she trusts you, she loves belly rubs and will flop and meow to ask for them. Sometimes, she will lay right on your lap when you’re sitting on the couch. She enjoys dangly toys and batting small balls around. When she gets the zoomies, she will trill and run around the house. She has lived with other cats since her adoption, and does fine with them. I think she would prefer to be an only cat or be with other chill, gentle cats.

Story
She is a very loving cat towards people, but has issues with some other cats, mainly females. We found her twelve years ago outside our house when she was a very small and sick kitten. She has always been on the very thin side, but for the most part been pretty healthy otherwise. She would do fantastically in a home that doesn’t have other pets most likely, and would love to cuddle with people.

Lou is 7 years old, adopted from a shelter with another cat from the same litter. Looking for someone who has more time to give and who is looking for an established house cat. Tolerates dogs/kids but not overly friendly with them. No health issues that I’m aware of. Is very loyal and sweet, chill energy and enjoys long naps!
