Story
Meet Benny, the most handsome tuxedo cat, with a heart shaped nose, and a big, loving heart to match! Benny starts out shy, and so needs time and patience to start feeling comfortable, but once he gets to know his humans, he is very affectionate. He loves to give full body smooches, and enjoys a good belly rub. He enjoys playing with string toys, and catnip toys. He is good with other cats, and older children and would do well in a relatively quiet, settled household. He is currently being fostered with Bambi, they are not a bonded pair, but they get along very well. Benny's sweet, gentle personality would be a wonderful addition to a loving home. If you want to meet Benny, please complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
Hi, my name is Ilya. I'm a beautiful, one-year-old girl who loves to be petted. Keep it coming all day long please! I like a quiet hidey hole to hang out in, but I always come out for mealtime and treats. Get me playing with a wand toy, and you’ll see just how fierce and playful I can be. When I'm in the snuggle mood, you’d better keep your lap wide open, so I can perch there for as long as I want. I have the kindest, sweetest eyes—and an even kinder heart. I don't mind living with other cats as long as they are nice to me. If you want to meet me, please complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
**Mickey - The Cuddle Connoisseur** 🐾 Mickey is a sweet and snuggly young cat with a personality that’s all about cozy vibes and quiet companionship. While he can be a little shy at first, once he gets a taste of meaty bites or a Churu treat, he’s quick to purr and curl up next to you for some serious cuddle time. This handsome guy loves to keep an eye on the world from above, so a cat perch or a sunny shelf by the window is a must in his home. He’s a quiet observer, but once he feels comfortable, he’s all about bonding with his people. Mickey would thrive in a calm home without young children or female cats, and he’s not a fan of dogs. If you're looking for a loyal, low-maintenance companion who loves a good snuggle, Mickey could be your perfect match. Just offer a tasty snack, a cozy spot by the window, and let the cuddles begin! If you're interested in meeting Mickey, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

He fearlessly approaches novelty with and confidence. George Michael will curl up on your lap to receive pets. His fur is extremely soft.

Story
**Gob and George Michael are a bonded pair** Gob (jobe) has come a loong way- from fearful to friendly. He (perhaps wisely) treats novelty with caution. Once he knows he’s safe, he will bunt and rub on his human and feline companions. He can usually be found snuggling with his little brother, George Michael, or following his human friends around, often standing up to meet their hands for gentle pets. He has been known to crawl into a lap to settle down for a cat nap. He supervises the other Lounge cats at play, enjoys the entertainment of the window television, and is an expert at finding cozy spots to sit. His intense gaze will reveal your soul to him, establishing a very rewarding bond. If you're interested in meeting Gob and George Michael, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Mika is a sweet 10 year, 7 month old female who loves making new friends. She is a friendly girl who is housed with the relatives she came in with. Mika would love to find a furrever home filled with love and attention!We are pre-approving applicants. To schedule an appointment, first fill out our adoption application ( https://cb8f5fb7-0a87-40fa-8ea5-50c4da40acd3.filesusr.com/ugd/c8cb9f_8cd13866ecd54a42a2b424d2b2f8dc10.pdf ). This will ask you questions about which animal you’re interested in, your family, other furry members in the household, whether you own or rent your home and who your Veterinarian is. These allow us to make the best match possible. We touch base with your landlord due to the unfortunate number of landlords who do not allow pets in Franklin County. Our goal with checking in with your Veterinarian is to ensure that the animals of FCAR receive the medical care they deserve. Once we have a positive reference from your landlord (if you rent) and Veterinarian, we will contact you to schedule an appointment with us! If you don't have any pets we understand you would not have a vet reference and we ask for applicants to substitute a personal reference. Please keep in mind, appointments are first come, first serve, based on when your application is approved. Please be patient with your Veterinarian and landlord, as their staff and businesses have been affected by COVID-19 as well. We are incredibly thankful that there has been no shortage in interest! This being said, our staff is limited and we are doing our absolute best to approve applications in a timely manner. This process can take up to a few weeks, but most are approved before then.

Story
Say hello to Captain Poppie, an 8 year old male. Captain Poppie is a timid soul, whose life experience before us has lended him to be distrustful of humans. He is a boy who would be more content as a working cat managing your barn than he would be curled up in a lap on the couch. If you have a cozy barn that needs a Captain to keep the rodents and other pests in line with a soft bed that needs warming, this boy may be the perfect fit for your home.We are pre-approving applicants.
