Story
My mother passed away October 17th and left behind her beloved companion, Pixie. I am not in a position to take care of her. She is a very sweet cat, but has been under stress with her recent loss (which is understandable). Since it was just my mom and her I really don’t know how she would react to other animals. She mainly hides when new people come around Pixie currently lives in Oregon, I am willing to deliver her as I will be coming home from Texas December 6th.

Story
Tera is a beautiful 2-year-old orange and white domestic shorthair with a unique and vibrant personality. She may seem a bit "psycho" when you first meet her, but don't let that deter you. Tera simply needs time to trust and decompress in a new environment. Once she feels safe and secure, she transforms into the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for. Tera thrives best in a home without children where she can have the peace and quiet she needs to feel comfortable. While she is tolerant of other animals, Tera would really love to be the queen of her castle and have all your attention to herself. One of Tera's favorite things is finding cozy spots to lounge and observe her kingdom. She's got a knack for making you laugh with her quirky antics and will reward your patience with endless affection. If you're looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time to show her true loving nature, Tera might be the perfect match for you! ##2034542##

Story
Our Roxy is an amazingly sweet girl who deserves the most special home who understands her needs.  She is small im stature and a cuddle bug who loves to be carried to bed and snuggle against you all night.   She will let you kmow loud and clear if she needs anything!    Roxy was born with CH:  Cerebellar hypoplasia ("CH") is a neurological condition in which the cerebellum is smaller than usual or not completely developed. ... In cats, this condition is also called "Wobbly Cat Syndrome.   It never worsens and never gets better though they learn to manage it.  She is moderate on the scale and controls her head and shoulders very well.  Roxy is very sefl sufficient but needs a house with room for her to leap about and not chaotic.   Roxy will wobble her way to the litter box and does her very best to always hit her mark.  She is very loving and loves to be held or lay on your lap.  She currently lives with several other cats and four large dog's, but gets scared and screams if they get in her immediate space and will tell them about it.. she's very vocal!    with that, she would do much better in a home with less active or chill dogs and cats.  She just gets scared if she thinks she is going to get trampled!    if you are interested in Roxy, plese include a paragraph on why you feel you are the best home and your experience with CH. Roxy is avaiable in the PDX area of Oregon (including Salem and surrounding area).    ##1872345##

Maverick is our very special sweet boy who deserves all the love in the world!  He's very laid back and will sit with you for hours watching movies and wants to be near you.   Maverick is a speicial needs boy with severe CH (also known as wobbly cat syndrome).   Here is a link where you can find more info on CH:  https://www.thenoahcenter.org/2022/09/28/the-truth-about-ch-cats/ Maverick is about 4 years old and along with having CH, he is missing several teeth and has a front "snaggle tooth"- but is healthy!     He's neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and has had base line bloodwork upon joining the rescue all of which was completely normal.     He does have  tremors that are common with CH and also a pretty severe head bobble - so drinking water is difficult and he eats wet food and sometimes dry kibble mixed in water in raised bowl.     He was raised by a family who loved him very much but just didn't have the time to continue caring for him.   He uses a litter box but because of his severity and wobbles, he needs help getting in and out and will lay down to do his stuff.    He is on a schedule though and will go in the litter box when you put him in the box on a schedule.    Maverick has lived with big dogs and other cats in his foster home, but he mostly loves just being with his person.   If you have had a CH cat previously, then. you know how much love they provide and what a joy they are to care for.    With Maverick's severity level, he does need someone who has experience with CH and is aware of what they require.  If you are interested in Maverick, please provide a few sentences on why you want to adopt Maverick and how you are prepared for him.   ##2000741##

Meet Buddy! He is a young charming boy who is aways there to greet you, loves sitting on laps, and is quite vocal. He’s very playful and silly with his toys. He would thrive with another young cat to play with.  Buddy is also FIV+, but please do not let this deter you from adopting! FIV is not easily spread. It is spread through very deep puncture wounds from an aggressive bite and not through any kind of casual contact. Buddy is absolutely NOT a fighter and would be great in any home. He would LOVE to have a feline playmate!  ##2129788##

Story
Meet Missy, a very sweet, gentle, senior cat, she is a little over 13yrs old, spayed female. A few months ago a vet clinic reached out to us about Missy, her owner loved her very much but could not take care of her medical needs, so the vet clinic reached out to us. Sweet Missy was well over 17lbs and was pre-diabetic, she needed to lose weight, before she became full blown diabetic, so we went to work and with the help of an amazing foster family, Missy is now down to 14lbs and is no longer pre-diabetic. Our sweet Missy is no longer on any medications and doesn't require a special weightloss food, her food intake will need to be measured out, no free feeding for this girl. Her amazing foster mom wants everyone to know, she loves chin scratches, she loves to sleep next to you and she loves, loves the rainbow feather wand. Is there anyone who will open their home for this sweet senior cat? My adoption fee is $65: This includes routine blood work, vaccines, microchip, dewormer, flea treatment and a 1 pound bag of food they are currently *** You don't need an appointment to visit our cats, here is what you need to know: 1. Cats are avaible to visit Thursday-Saturday 10am-3:30pm. 2. Proof of home ownership must be brought with you, i.e a mortgage statement or property tax or home owners insurance 3. If you are a renter, you must have a letter from your landlord stating you can have a cat, pet policy and or pet agreement are not sufficient. 4. Debit/Credit or cash for adoption 5. Cat carrier, we have card board ones for $5 6. You can place a hold on a cat, due to people not returning we will be charging $25 to hold, this will be taken off your adoption fee.

Story
We think Sally was born around 2017. Meet Sally! This friendly, confident girl excels at her job as an assistant to her foster mom. From following her from room to room, to sitting by her for hours, contentedly gazing out the window, to asking for more ear rubs, she’s a fabulous coworker. Did someone say perfect? Sally doesn’t travel solo. Her constant companion is the ruggedly handsome Penn. Sally and Penn are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Sally does have one firm requirement: no dogs, please! She was once attacked by a dog and prefers to avoid them. In her spare time, Sally enjoys playing with her collection of catnip mice, cuddling with the other foster cats, and deep philosophical discussions with her bestie Penn. We were notified by a good Samaritan that Sally & Penn were left behind when their owners were evicted. Our hearts went out to these senior kitties. We did have these two fully vetted - they even had a full dental. They tested negative on their FIV/FELV tests. What do you say? Are you ready to welcome these loving cats into your home? Fill out that application today. As it states below, application required and we do deliver kitties to their new homes. We do everything we can do to find purrfect homes for our kitties. $100 adoption fee. Hardest part of rescue is: - Not being able to save every cat. - Finding excellent homes for our rescues.

DOB 12/28/23 Jäger is a handsome, playful big boy! He is the largest of his littermates. He likes attention on his terms, like a typical cat. He and his brother (Flint) love to wrestle and watch birds from the windows. He's a brave boy, and doesn't usually hide from company. He likes to be out and about in the house, and it's rare that he can't be found without looking under beds. He enjoys chasing lasers and has a healthy appetite! He (and his brother, Flint) would do best in a home with gentle children over the age of 5. If you're looking for a couple of good guys, these handsome boys are for you! -$125 adoption fee per kitten.

Most of our kittens are placed in bonded pairs.  One of the most important ways we can support the behavioral and emotional development of a kitten is to make sure they’ve got a friend. Despite the common belief that cats are solitary animals, they’re actually incredibly social beings who thrive when they have feline friends from an early age. That’s why the cat experts always recommend adopting two kittens, or adopting a solo kitten only if you already have another young cat in the home for the kitten to befriend. It may come as a surprise to hear this, but two kittens are actually half the work of one! Giving your kitten a buddy will improve the lives of the cats while also making your life easier.
