Story
Hello there... my name is Andre. I'm the white cat with a few distinctive black marks who's currently watching you from my favorite hiding spot. Please don't be offended if I don't come right over—I'm still learning that not all hands reach out to hurt. My story isn't an easy one to tell. Before arriving here, I didn't know what safety felt like. Each sudden movement made me flinch, each loud noise sent me running. The world can be overwhelming when you've been taught to fear it. Some days, I still do. I dream of a quiet home where I can take my time. A patient person who understands that trust isn't built in days but in gentle moments—a soft voice reading a book nearby, a treat placed where I can reach it when I'm ready, no pressure to be anything but exactly who I am. If you have another kind cat at home, that might help me adjust. I do enjoy feline company when they're respectful of my boundaries. We could become good friends, sharing sunbeams and whispered secrets about the birds outside. Speaking of windows... a sunny spot where I can watch the world safely would mean everything to me. And canned food? Well, that's one thing that always brings me a moment of joy, even on my most anxious days. I can't promise when—or even if—I'll ever curl up in your lap or greet you at the door. Some scars remain invisible but run deep. What I can promise is that having a safe home, regular meals, and quiet respect will make me happier than you can imagine, even if I show it in ways you might not expect. If you have patience in your heart and understand that love sometimes looks like a pair of eyes watching gratefully from under the bed... perhaps we could build a life together, one small brave step at a time. Cautiously hopeful, AndreMay 13, 2025, 11:49 am

Story
They say I'm a little work of art with my striking black and white fur. My caretakers tell me I look like I've been dusted with ashes from a cozy fire – that's how I got my name! I'll be honest with you – I'm a bit shy at first. When new friends come to visit, you might find me watching carefully from my favorite hiding spot. But don't let that fool you! Once I decide you're trustworthy (and especially if you have treats), my true personality shines through. Speaking of treats... did someone say FOOD? My ears perk up instantly at the sound of a can opening or kibble hitting my bowl. My foster mom says I have the most enthusiastic "dinner dance" she's ever seen! When I'm not dreaming about my next meal, you'll find me scaling new heights. Curtains, bookshelves, cat trees – they're all part of my personal mountain range. I'm still perfecting my dismount, but my climbing skills are already Olympic-worthy! What I'm really looking for is a patient family who understands that the best relationships take time to build. Someone who'll give me space when I need it, but who'll also dangle that feather toy when I'm ready to play. I promise that once I open my heart to you, the purrs and head-bumps will be worth the wait. Could your home be the forever one I've been searching for? I already have two cat friends named Copper and Blaze waiting for me – they told me your home is filled with love and adventure. I hope I get to join them soon!May 3, 2025, 7:39 pm

Bupp The Zapp is one gorgeous big boy. He is very selective to which humans he likes but most cats are his friend. Zapp loves his canned food and bird watching. In the meantime, he will happily snooze on your couch October 12, 2024, 12:16 am
