Story
Hello! My name is Chester!I have been patiently waiting for my fur-ever home since August 2023! I am a friendly boy who can be nervous at first; once I get to know you and I feel at home, I am a big softie! When I`m feeling unsure, you may notice my tail swooshing and that`s my communication to say I need a little break. Once I feel comfortable with you, I will rub against your legs, sit on your lap and tell you how much I love you with my little meows. My new family should know that I came to GHS with a history of IBD/enteritis - thankfully my friends at GHS worked very hard to assess me and developed a plan that has been very successful! I am on a special diet and a few supplement to keep me feeling happy and healthy. I am looking for a family that is committed to continuing my treatment plan so I can feel my best self!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Older, mature children may be okay; I would be best suited to a calm, mature homeOTHER CATS: I have lived with cats before and could be a good match after a gradual introduction.DOGS: Yes, with a respectful dog and gradual introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has previous cat experience. SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: MediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Hi, my name is Izzy!I have been patiently waiting for my fur-ever home since December 2023! The GHS family thinks I`m awesome because I can play `hard to get` but I am a big softy once you get to know me! Some of my favorite things include catnip, catnip, and more catnip; if you bring me a pinch or two, I`ll show you my wild and goofy side! I am a low-key lady who likes to spend the rest of my day lounging when I`m not being loved on by the shelter staff. My new family should know that I have a progressive FeLV infection, which means I need to be an indoor cat. Feline leukemia (FeLV) is contagious to other cats, and therefore, would recommend consulting with your veterinarian on risks of adding me to a feline-friendly home. My new family should be prepared that I may start to show symptoms related to FeLV or take longer to recovery from ailments that wouldn`t be a `big deal` to other cats. I can still live a very happy life in a quiet environment and with regular veterinary care, so the GHS recommends speaking to your vet prior to adopting me. I would make a wonderful addition to a calm and cuddly home - take me home today!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Teenagers or older respectful children please!OTHER CATS: Potentially, if they are also FELV + and with a slow and careful introductionDOGS: Potentially, with a calm, respectful dog.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: Potentially, if you have some cat experienceSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Story
Hello, my name is Toad!Give me a smooch and I`ll be your Prince for life! Or was that a frog... either way, I`ll still be your Prince. My foster mom says I`m the perfect mix of both cuddly and playful - I love to sleep on your lap and will chase any toy with a bell or a laser! When I came to GHS, I was a sick little fella; my friends at GHS have fixed me up and made me feel all better! Stress may trigger occasional flare-ups, so I`m looking for a family that enjoys a Zen environment. I promise to bring joy, laughter, and lots of love to your home. Won`t you consider making me a part of your family?MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could be a good match with children.OTHER CATS: I could be a good match with another friendly cat, after a slow introduction.DOGS: I could be a good match with a calm, cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...FIRST TIME CAT OWNERS: YesACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-highIf you think I would make a good match for your home, click the `Adopt me` button to apply!

Story
Hello, my name is Amber!I`ve got a personality as warm as my name suggests. I`m a sweet, gentle soul, always ready to nuzzle up for a friendly pat or two. I`m also quite the comedian, with a meow that`s more of a scritchy serenade than a simple call. It`s guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, even on the gloomiest days. I can be a wee bit shy when I first meet you, but I warm up very quickly into a loving companion, who`ll stick by your side through thick and thin. If you`re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and gentle feline friend, I`m your girl.
