Story

Gracie is a super sweet cat. She is mostly grey and resembles a Russian blue. She has been good with cats, but due to my fostering of cats she has been unhappy with all of the cats, and would probably prefer to be a one or two cat household. She will most likely take a little while to warm up to you, and once she does will be sleeping in your bed. She is currently and indoor outdoor cat, mostly I think she wasn’t out to get away from the other cats. She Could use someone who can give her all the love and attention she deserves.

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My co-worker had a stray cat living near their house who had kittens. My husband and I took one of the kittens, a gray female, in early September 2023, when she was about 1 month old. Now, as of 11/18/2024 she is about a year and 3 months old. I have two huskies, who unfortunately see her only as prey, even after living together for a year. The dogs have attacked her a few times, (luckily no injuries). We have tried everything and they still don't get along. Ahsoka is living in our spare bedroom, and when we let her out of the room, we have a tall baby gate to separate the dogs and her. We have decided to re-home Ahsoka because its not safe for her at the house, and its not fair that she has to spend most of her time in a bedroom, alone. She is sweet and feisty at the same time. She loves to play and zip around, but also cuddle when she is sleepy. She doesn't really like to be held.

Story

This is Boe. He is the most sweetest loving cat and will purr and lay on top of you all night long. Loves to snuggle and is very patient with kids. He doesn’t get along with other cats in the house so needs to be an only cat. He has a cute little broken tail at the tip but it doesn’t hurt him at all. He sometimes looks a little cross eyed which makes him so much cuter. He is so deserving of all the love and pets and treats!

Story

Hello there! We're Pippa and Chely, a bonded pair of Bombay DSH mix sisters. Our story began in a rough place we were found as kittens in a dumpster, but a kind soul saved us, and now we’re ready for our forever home! Pippa is the more outgoing one, while Chely is a bit more reserved. We are shy at first, but once we get comfortable, we’ll show you how sweet and affectionate we are. We’re considered special needs only because it may take us some time to adjust to a new home, but with patience, we’ll open up. We’re spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and great with other cats. Playtime is fun for us, and we can’t resist treats! If you're patient and looking for a pair of loving companions, we’d be the perfect fit to bring warmth and joy into your home.! 🐾💖

Story

Hello there, I'm Solo! I'm a sweet, lovable, and playful kitten. Being around you and snuggling up in your arms are my favorite things. Good news—I'm potty trained, nutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and my fecal test came back negative. Plus, I've been tested for FIV & FELV, and both results are negative. I started my journey in someone's backyard, but they were kind enough to take me in and connect me with Gotcats Rescue, who's been taking excellent care of me. Now, I'm all set and ready for my forever home. Interested in making me a part of your family?

Story

Hi there! I’m a sweet and playful kitten with beautiful silky fur and long white whiskers. I’m neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and have a clean bill of health (FeLV & FIV tests, as well as a fecal test, are all negative). I’m a total cuddle bug who loves being with you, and I get along well with calm, friendly dogs and other furry friends. I’m also food-motivated and potty trained, which makes things easier for both of us! When I’m not snuggling up, you’ll find me happily playing with my toys. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, I’d love to be part of your family!
