Charlize is a two-year-old beautiful tortoise shell cat. She is a very energetic, playful, loving and sweet pet.

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Fiona is a beautiful and intelligent kitty that will need a cat experienced adopter to help her continue to flourish. Fiona is very shy and takes quite a while to warm up to new people but that doesn't mean she isn't a happy lady. She really seems to enjoy being with other cats in her foster home, often seen snuggling with someone in a soft blanket and being close during meal times. While Fiona will likely never be a lap cat, she deserves a happy life with a family that is patient and willing to let her have space to grow confidence. We would love to find her a forever home with someone willing to continue socializing her and working with our team on methods we have found helpful in helping kitties acclimate to new environments. To be considered as a prospective adopter please tell us how you think you can help Fiona so she can live out her life with lots of care and love in your adoption application. To be considered as a potential adopter, complete an adoption application. Completing the application does not guarantee it will be approved. We are an all volunteer group and unfortunately are unable to answer every phone call, adoption inquiry, or application. Please understand you will be contacted only if your application is approved.

Story

Sammy is a beautiful cat who would love to be part of your family! She is very shy and cautious at first, but will soon be looking for a lap to sit on, ideally when you are trying to work or study. She will need a patient adopter who is willing to let her get settled on her own terms in a calm and quiet environment. When she first came to our house, even the chirping of the birds and chipmunks outside the window scared her but she now loves to watch the activity outside from her favorite window. **Sammy`s adoption fee is free thanks to a generous donor!**If you are interested in adopting Sammy, please email the foster at jennifer_stuart@yahoo.com.

Story

Hi there! My name is Bear, I am probably one of the most “dog” cats you’ve ever met. I love all people, am super energetic and curious as hell. I’m not afraid of anything and will keep you company day and night. Unfortunately, my current pawrents have another cat and dog. When they adopted me, the thought I would be a good fit. The behaviors of the puppy and cat do not mesh well with my brave and bold nature, and I do not get the attention I need. Thats why I would need to be adopted into a home with either a trained dog, an accepting cat that will hold its ground, or ideally one without any other pets. I am a little over a year old, have the cutest white marks on my belly and love laying on you and taking a nap! I also am extremely food motivated!
