Story
This beefy boy is Colossus! He's got a personality as large as his body! 19 pounds! Colossus is around 4 years old and gets along with most everyone! He can get a bit overstimulated during play so we'd recommend older children or cat savvy kids. He is FIV+. He gets along with other cats, dependent on their personality. Because of his FIV+ status, he should be in a home where he's not fighting/biting other cats or the only cat in the household or in a household with other FIV+ cats. Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.

Story
Pelikan is a beautiful tabby and white domestic shorthair with a gentle spirit and a quiet charm. She takes her time getting to know new people, carefully observing from a distance before deciding to let her guard down. But once she does, she transforms into the sweetest cuddle companion, soaking up affection and leaning into pets with contentment. Pelikan is the kind of cat who rewards patience with unwavering loyalty. She may take a little time to adjust, but for those who give her the space she needs, she’ll repay them with warmth, trust, and plenty of snuggles. If you're looking for a cat who will form a deep and meaningful bond, Pelikan would love the chance to be your perfect companion.

Story
Meet Days Inn, the grey domestic shorthair who runs the farm like a seasoned pro. Not your average farm cat, she’s the head honcho, overseeing operations with a discerning eye and impeccable style. She’s selective with her attention, offering just the right amount of service depending on her mood. Some days, she’s all about the pets, enjoying a few strokes as she supervises the daily hustle. Other days, she’s content to watch from a distance, keeping an eye on the livestock, the crops, and you—always keeping things running smoothly without needing to be up close. Days Inn has a soft spot for well-maintained barns and peaceful farmyards, but she’ll tolerate the presence of other animals, as long as they respect her boundaries. Whether it's keeping the mice in check or ensuring the morning routine goes uninterrupted, she’s the one you want at the helm. If you're looking for a farm manager who knows when to be hands-on and when to let things be, Days Inn is the perfect fit for your rural operation.

Story
Estimated DOB: 1/28/23 Aly Raisman scores a perfect 10 in biscuit making, talking to herself, judging humans, and napping instantly (on foster mom's thigh). She has been the best big sister to Lindsey Vonn, her disabled and only sister. Aly has become great friends with the resident cats and tolerates the big dog, but she may take a while to warm up to older female cats. As you can see in her video, she enjoys scratching, so having lots of scratching posts is recommended! Her favorite activities are to hide toys and Lindsey's treasures in foster mom's shoes and cuddling with her human all night. She likes getting belly rubs and has the most fluffy belly ever! A homemade cat bed, made by their "foster grandpa" will be included with her adoption. :) Go to http://allcatsrescue.org/kitten-adoption-application to apply to adopt, or email allcatsrescue@gmail.com for more information.

Story
Estimated DOB: 1/28/23 Lindsey is a funny, spunky, quiet, and independent gal! She happens to have special needs -- her back end didn't fully develop and the joints in her back legs are backward, but that doesn't stop her from being amazing! This girl is a fierce protector -- mosquitoes stand no chance! Lindsey gets along with the grumpy resident cats, and enjoys being around the resident German Shepard. They both sleep all day in foster mom's bed, and enjoy patiently waiting for table scraps. Lindsey loves finding treasures around the house, like toy mice, and has the cutest squeak when it's treat time! Evening cuddles with foster mom are also a favorite! A small accommodation is needed for the litter box, but she does great! She also does well climbing carpeted stairs...but a one level home is preferred. She has outgrown her tight bond with her only sister, Aly Raisman, but would not mind staying with her, either. She would be better off in a calmer home with older kids, as she does not enjoy being carried or loud noises. Lindsey gets to keep her adorable cat bed from her foster grandpa!
