Story
Name: Violet Age: 1 year old Breed: British Shorthair Meet Violet, a charming 1-year-old British Shorthair who’s the ultimate velcro cat! If you’re dreaming of a loyal companion who sticks by your side, Violet is your girl. This sweet kitty is all about affection—she loves lap-sitting, snuggling up for bedtime, and soaking up endless pets. With her medium energy and chill vibe, Violet enjoys playful moments with string toys and the occasional zoomies, but she’s happiest lounging next to you while you work on your computer or binge-watch TV. Violet tolerates other cats but thrives as the only feline in the home, where she can bask in all your attention.  Due to her breed and background, she requires a special diet of Vital Essentials freeze dried rabbit or raw rabbit. Found at speciality pet stores like Petfood Express.  If you’re looking for a loving, low-key cat to share your days with, Violet is ready to steal your heart! Violet is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. Fill out our adoption questionnaire so you can meet Violet and learn more about her. https://form.jotform.com/pinkpawsftc/adoption June 6, 2025, 4:17 pm

Story
Sweet Mina-Rose. She is the sweetest, cuddliest girl. She has the smallest meow. When she was first adopted from the Humane society she was already spayed. She had an upper respiratory issue, and goes through ongoing pain . She has a hard time jumping up sometimes, and is constantly throwing up from the food not completely going down. I love her, but I genuinely am struggling on my own. I have 3 cats that I am unable to tend to due to losing my job. Its heartbreaking, but she deserves to be in a home with a family that can solely focus on her, and her ongoing issues. She is the sweetest girl, I am so hurt by this. But, I cant afford to keep taking care of her.

Story
Meelo is a 4-year-old Golden British Shorthair, acquired from a breeder whose cats participate in shows. Meelo's love language is definitely quality time—he doesn't like constant touch but will rather prefer to sit near you. Although, if he's in a cuddly mood he will accept pets and scratchies for quite a while. He's a cautious kitty who won't knock over things, or chew on cables, or step where he feels unsure about. He likes belly rubs and can be very playful especially in evenings. However, he's also the definition of "scaredy-cat." He hates the sound of trash bags, any loud/sudden noises, and can take a while to adjust to changes. We are looking for a home with no other pets—he doesn't do well with other cats and is scared of dogs. We're not sure how he would react around young children, but he'd probably be ok with kids who are slightly older, like 6-7yrs and older.

Story
Winston is a purebred British Shorthair Blue, about 10 years old, with a calm, observant nature and a gentle soul. We adopted him for companionship, and he’s been a wonderful presence—always nearby, following you from room to room, quietly keeping you company without being clingy. He’s not a lap cat, but he loves to be close and part of the action. Winston is 100% an indoor cat and has never been outside. He enjoys playtime, cozy spots, and having his own quiet space when he needs it. We’re looking for a peaceful, loving home where he can continue to thrive as a cherished companion.

Story
Hi there, I'm reaching out to see if anyone might be able to take in a stray cat that I've been caring for. I found him in my neighborhood around October 2024. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I am no longer in a position to keep him long term. I realize that it would be better if I were to have him in a better environment where he is well loved and taken care of as he deserves. Here are some details about him: Name: Kimchi Breed: American Shorthair Color: Orange (Blonde) Sex: Male Estimated Age: 2-3 Years Old Personality: He is extremely affectionate and people-oriented, but he experiences separation anxiety when left alone for long periods. He's very gentle, enjoys companionship, and is well-behaved indoors. Medical Information: Neutered and Microchipped (Transferrable) Tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) Fully vaccinated with Documentation Overall healthy and stable according to a recent veterinary exam Thank you for your time.
