Story
Hi! My name is Chiquita which means “Little girl” and at just 7 pounds that name fits me well! Chiquita is the ideal house cat for the right person. She’s a beautiful 4 year old girl with lovely markings and a vibrant rusty color. She loves to bask in a sunny windowsill. Nothing pleases her more than a head massage, which totally blisses her out. She will purr in your lap, on the couch and in bed with you. Loves to lick your face too! She is however easily excited and can nip sometimes when you give her a full body rub. She bonds quickly to her human and is a happy cuddler. Perhaps not ideal around children and would maybe tolerate a dog but a very loving feline who would probably do best as an only pet.

Story
I am a special girl with funny view on the world. My eyes don`t work the best but I can still see enough to be a goof ball and a lover. I love to talk, whether its meowing for attention or trilling while looking out the window and running around with other cats. I take a while to get used to new cats but once I get used to them we become best friends. I love to wrestle with and then clean my friends. My best friend is Nikki. I was hand raised since I was about 10 days old so I am great at being handled, as long as you aren`t playing with my eyes. I will sometimes flinch when you first touch me if I don`t realize you were approaching or I don`t recognize your scent. My biggest down fall is I occasionally pee in the wrong spot, I don`t know why but the humans seem to think my anxiety is the main cause. When I was younger I went through an period where I couldn`t walk very well. The humans found I had Luxating patellas but that was not the overall cause. After many vet visits and tests they figured out I had an infection that was effecting my muscles. They put me on this gross meds and after a few days I had no more pain. I now continue to be a playful girl that just wants to be with people. I love wrestling and grooming other cats as well as playing with kicker toys or stuffed toys. I have been through a lot in my life but I am ready to find a place of my own that will love me the way I am. Kids: Older or adult onlyCats: Friendly and playful yes, slow introduction. I think Nikki would not like being without me so can you please adopt her too.Dogs: They don`t seem to bother meSpecial/Medical: Visually impaired, Anxiety, Inappropriate urination, Luxating Patellas, bad depth perception

Story
My name is Nikki. I learned how to behave from my feral mom. I am learning to be more comfortable around people but am still hesitant. I would be what would be considered a roommate cat. I am interested in what people are doing but would prefer not being touched. I do love other cats so I would need a cat in my forever home that would allow me to cuddle with them. I have a buddy here at the rescue named Tinsel, we have been together for so long now that I cry when she is out of my sight. But I will also try and bond with any cat that will let me. I am comfortable around people and let than get within an inch of me, but with treats they can sneak in a pet here and there. Kids: NoCats: Yes, the more the merrier in my opinion. I am now bonded with Tinsel.Dogs: OkayEnvironment: Indoor, Indoor/Outdoor, Barn/Shop

Story
Olivia is a very shy girl that may take a little bit of time to open up, but once she does she is a cuddle bug! She enjoys sitting with her people, giving them headbutts and receiving pets. If she isn`t getting enough cuddle time she will let you know with the cutest small chirps. A quiet, calm home would be best for her. She has had a few teeth removed and is on a limited food diet. Given her demeanor and the state of her teeth we think she is at least 5 years old if not older. She loves playing with a laser pointer, scratching a scratch pad, and lazing about. She also enjoys getting brushed and playing with little toys she can bat around.

Story
Rehoming my senior(11) cat, he is unhappy being in a home with young kids and now we have another baby on the way he would probably be happy and healthier in a slower and less chaotic home. He would need to be in a home with no kids and no dogs, ideally no cats. He is very aggressive towards dogs. He is slightly overweight and this is something we have been working on with him. He is mostly indoors but does like to lay out in the sun in our back yard, does not leave our yard though. Not overly affectionate but does rub against legs and ask for pets as well as sometimes snuggle on the sofa. Would be happy in a calm home with someone looking for an older kitty companion. No medical issues as far as we know. He will come with a cat tree and his food!

Story
Hi, I'm Bleu! I'm a petite older lady looking for a loving home for my golden years. One of my people passed away and I was surrendered when my other person couldn't care for me anymore. I lived with 2 cats and a dog but didn't really love the other animals.I'm very sweet and gentle with people. I like to sit in a lap. I'm quiet and love to be near people. I meow sometimes for attention or if I don't like something. I have such a cute raspy meow.I'm a skinny lady and I have hyperthyroidism. I also was diagnosed with Stage 2/early Stage 3 kidney disease. I get subQ fluids 3 times a week to help keep my kidneys working well. I also take a little bit of heart medicine for a mild heart condition. Despite it all I am very engaging and friendly!I'm in a foster home so if you would like to meet me please fill out an adoption application at www.animalaidpdx.org.My estimated birthdate is 11/1/2013.

Story
Hey Nico here! I'm a very special guy. I need a home that is very cat savvy and wanting to work with me as I have a sensitive disposition. I have unlimited energy to play and I love treats! I'm very friendly but sometimes I'm too friendly and get worked up. I have to walk directly near your legs and am super curious about anything you are doing. I seem fine with other cats. I can't have children in my home though due to my history.In my previous home I bit and scratched pretty hard when I was overstimulated or freaked out by something. When I came to Animal Aid it took me many weeks of being in fight or flight mode to calm down (I always chose fight). With patience and anti-anxiety medication I am now in a place where I don't try to bite people. I get easily overstimulated with too much petting if I haven't had my daily medication yet so the people here are still cautious with me. But I've made incredible progress and I'm ready to try out a new home with a brave person. I'm looking for a foster-to-adopt home where I can test out if I'm ready to live with people again instead of being confined to one room in the shelter.If you are up for a challenge and want a cat with a big personality I'm here waiting for a second chance!My estimated birthdate is 8/1/2022.
