Story
Handsome is a very particular cat, he makes it well known you must earn his trust first...but once you do this big boy makes the reward well worth the effort. He will be the first one in bed at night and his choosen place is in a leg curve or propped up on one like it is an armed chair. He has the funniest voice to come out of such a large cat and will gladly demonstrate his agility skills when any stringed toy is presented. Handsome is very affectionate to his cat family but prefers to seek human affection on his own terms, making it very obvious by meowing or rolling back and forth in front of your feet. Handsome was relocated to a second foster home a few months ago and is getting along well with other foster cats in the home.  He has also been very loving to the foster kittens in the home. ##1191272##

Story
I previously came from a feral colony. My ear was clipped when I was spayed and released back. I eventually made my way to a kind lady that would feed me.  I am very sweet and when I want attention I will sit and stare patiently until you hold out your hand. I enjoy flopping myself on the floor when you rub me and flipping side to side. I literally get along with all cats because I am very secure with myself and unphased.  ##1370779##

Story
Tabetha is a bit nervous and shy at first but responds to touch.  She likes her rump scratched and around her face.  She is very playful and loves being with her almost twin sister Bella.  Bella brings her out. She did not have a home and therefore requires some patience.  I would love to see her adopted with her sister . ##2181652##

Story
Dwight and Daisy are two 7 year old, incredibly sweet biological siblings. We adopted them back in July with the hopes of integrating them into our home with our two other cats. After much effort, unfortunately the pairs have not gotten along. Even though it saddens us deeply to have to let them go, we are hoping to find a new loving family for these sweet cats. Preferably a home without other animals. Dwight is deaf and has mild CH (Cerebellar hypoplasia) however this does not stop him from living his life to the fullest! Nor does it affect his health. These two are incredibly loving, biscuit making machines and would love to have you in their lives :)

Story
Hello! My name is Salem, and I am a low-maintenance, adult cat that loves to cuddle. I have lovely short hair, but I really don't shed much for a cat. I am very good with children and adults, and I even (kinda) like my dog-sister, since she's about my size. I like to play, but I don't need a lot of exercise. Give me a soft pipecleaner for a toy and I'll be entertained for hours! I like canned food best, but I will eat canned or dry all the same. You can even leave a little extra food in my bowl, and I promise not to overeat! I used to chew on everything, but I am happy to report that I am one year sober from eating any socks, clothes, or shoes. I love a good firm scratch right on the top of my head but scratching my neck or the base of my tail works wonders. Just please don't scratch my tummy; I'm a little sensitive about that. I need a new home, preferably one where I can be the only cat, but I may open up to siblings.

Story
Jiji loves to sunbathe and lay on whatever surface the sun is hitting. She loves reaching for treats and butt scratches. She’s a typical black cat: Loves to chase and hunt things (baby pacifiers and bottle nipples, as of late). She is very loved, and it breaks my heart to have to let her go, but unfortunately our new family dynamic with our new baby makes it really hard to give her the love and care she needs. It’s very hard to keep up with her, our other cat Izzy, our two pups, an old house that refuses to stay clean and the baby. We will only rehome to the right family/person. We will include a litter box and genie (both used but will be thoroughly cleaned), 6 boxes of litter, dry food and storage containers for it, 2 boxes of wet food and treats.

Story
Sassy, a sweet little black and white tuxedo, is ready to steal your heart! This playful 4-year-old loves to entertain herself with laser pointers, wand toys, and soft toys. She's quite the chatterbox, often "talking" while she plays, even at night – but don't worry, it's a cute, not disruptive sound. Sassy has a soft spot for catnip and a personality as sweet as she is. Once she warms up to you, she's all about cuddles and head butts. She's a bit of a goofball too, loving to chase foam balls up and down the stairs. This former neighborhood stray has blossomed into a lovely house cat. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Sassy needs a loving forever home where she can continue to thrive. Could that home be yours?

Story
This sweet boy is our newest visitor. The vet says he is somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. He is a stray but you wouldn't know that by his behavior. He is super sweet and loving (wants all the pets you can give him). He is a little apprehensive when meeting other cats but has been slowly getting use to our two resident cats. He is a goofy boy who loves to play and would do well with a family who can play with him often. He does well as an indoor cat,but also enjoys the outdoors. He is up to date on his rabies shots and is neutered!
