Story
Hi, lovely humans! I am Arya, a seven-year-old sweetheart who is looking for a calm, and quiet place to call my forever home. When I visited the vet, they thought I was younger than I am. (They know how to charm an older girl, I guess!) I get nervous in new environments, but, as I get to know where I am, I accept a home and kind people so warmly. I love to sit on laps and legs; my favorite place to sleep is on top of my human's chest. I get startled pretty easily as first, but the more I acclimate, the more comfortable I become. I love to follow my human from room to room, and I love to be touching her. Ribbons and string toys make me play like a kitten, and I am a big fan of catnip. Wait until you hear how loud I purr! I have never lived with other pets, and I think I like it best that way. If you're interested in meeting me, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
This soft and cuddly grey and white lady will purr, drool, make biscuits, and rub her face all over proffered human limbs. When she's not watching birds from a cozy perch by the window, she's soliciting pets from her humans. This serene, royal love bug came from a home with many cats.

Story
Meet Jade, an eight year-old grey tabby cat, who is a friendly, independent, yet curious sweet pea. Jade loves to spend the day doing self-care and sleeping in a cozy spot. She likes cat nip, ear scratches, and butt taps. She has middle-aged kitty energy who needs some playtime encouragement, but will surprise attack any toys laying around. Jade is good at communicating her feelings and gently setting boundaries. However, she loves to keep you company and will find a place at the end of your bed. She will do best in a household that can give her alone time but also show her some good loving. If you have been captivated by her beautiful green eyes, sign up to adopt Jade!

Story
Mitch is the Goodest Boy! Always down for a head scratch, booty pat, or cozy chair snuggle. He will welcome you home with a scratchy meow! He's put up with a lot since he came to our rescue. Starting with a full body shave of his long matted fur, then we discovered a leg wound and he wound up at the Vet with stitches and vaccines. However he was a champ the whole time and behaved so well. Mitch is FIV + and his fur will grow back into long luxurious locks so he will need an adopter that understands both these attributes and attends to them. But he will make up for it in love, I promise!

Story
Meet Fergie! Fergie is a sweet, one-year-old female with a loving heart and a playful spirit! She’s the perfect mix of fun and relaxation, always up for a good play session followed by some cozy cuddle time with her favorite humans. Fergie is a chatty little lady who loves to engage with her people and is definitely food motivated—treats and snacks are a great way to win her over! She has previously lived with another female cat, so she could do well in a multi-cat household, though we don’t have any information about her history with dogs. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate companion who will happily share both her playful side and her snuggles, Fergie might be the perfect match for you! If you are interested in meeting Fergie- complete an adoption application at www.queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
Dweezil is a VERY active kitten who will make you smile all day long. She is interested in everything and is fast like a track star. She was late to being socialized and while she has gotten much more comfortable around people, she still gets scared with loud noises and big or fast movements. She likes being petted but typically will be sliding and squirming around you while accepting the pets (the better to make a run for it if she feels trapped). She will do best with an experienced adopter who can continue to help her feel safe with humans. She is bonded to her sister Moon and they must be adopted together. If you're interested in meeting her, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.
