Story
This lovely girls name is Estrella. She’s about a year and a half now, she’s super friendly and loves cuddles. I rescued her from a veterinarian in tj who wasn’t able to keep anymore. She was neutered there and given her shots. She loves being around people all the time, she throws herself on the ground and expects you to pet her. She is good with cats as she’s currently living with another cat. She loves to play and get chased. I can no longer give her the attention she deserves so she would fit best with someone who hopefully works from home and loves to have a cuddly cat.

Story
This is Harley and Luna, I’m listed both together in hopes to keep them together as they are really attached to each other. Harley is the calico cat she’s about 9 years old and Luna is the small black cat she’s about 5. Harley treats Luna like she’s her baby and they are always together. They are both female cats both fixed very sweet and loving. They do well with kids and I believe would do okay with other cats but unsure (Lunas male sibling does not get along with them). I am having to move in a month and won’t be able to take my cats with me, so I’m in need of a kind animal lover to help me with this difficult responsibility of rehoming my cats and I’m hopeful they will find a loving home together. They are also both litter trained. Also, Luna is missing one canine tooth, but vet said she’s alright without it and is able to function normally without it.

Story
Lucy is a 10-year-old mixed breed calico lady, a gentle snugglebug who likes to lay alongside you or in your lap once she gets to know you. She was adopted from a shelter as a "teenager" (young but past kittenhood) and has been a sweet companion to an elderly couple. She can be a bit timid at first in a new situation, and likes to have a dark place to hide while she gets the lay of the land, but she has been the dominant cat in her two-cat household and won't take long to show her queenly colors again. Her companion, Little Bit (who is a larger but more timid cat) is also going up for adoption at the same time. They can be adopted together or separately.

Story
Lb is Young. I do not know how old she is, as she adopted my uncle, and he just started feeding her and letting her stay. She is spunky, likes to explore the neighborhood, and hang out outside. She does enjoy coming in at night and having a warm blanket and heating pad to sleep. She does not get along well with my 2 dogs and antagonizes them to chase her. She is living in my garage, but wants to come into the house badly, as she comes in and hangs out with my husband when my dogs are with me. She is cat box trained and eats wet and dry Friskies cat food. She deals with my daughter picking her up and loving on her, but doesn't love it. I inherited LB from my uncle when he passed along with the other cat, Abby. They do not get along with my 2 dogs, and I will have to move soon, as the house I live in needs to be sold for the estate. I cannot take 2 cats and 2 dogs with me. Lb needs a place that will love her and feed her, but let her be her feline self.

Story
13 years old, I inherited her from my uncle, who passed away. Currently, I have two dogs and am trying to acclimate them, but it is not working. I feel bad as I have her in my garage with the other younger cat I inherited. She shouldn't be there; she needs to be inside, like she was when she lived with my uncle. The house I live in is also my uncle's, and I will need to move and cannot take 2 cats and 2 dogs to another place. She is a moody, but kind old cat who likes her love when she wants. Loves her heating pad and blanket, and she likes to spend some time outside to sunbathe. But enjoys spending the majority of her time inside. She can be a little skittish if she is scared or unsure. She uses a cat box with litter and is fed Friskies dry and wet food. She loves my husband and deals with my daughter and me.

Story
Age: 10 months old Gender: Female Breed: Domestic shorthair cat Weight: 7.5 lbs Personality: Miss RuPaul was found in a parking lot in Mississippi at just a couple weeks old and then was flown to TAP. She is very friendly and energetic. She loves to play and make biscuits on her fuzzy blanket. Like all babies she loves food and attention and if you’ve got those you’re good in her book! She is dog and kitty friendly and most likely good with kids (haven't met them yet). Education: She wears a diaper as she is incontinent. Favorite Activities: Playing with any toys but especially strings Looking for: A home where she will have toys and people to give her attention. Ideally no stairs she will need to go up or down. She is so full of love and playfulness. She is fearless and brings so much joy to the home she is in. She may look different but inside she is the exact same as any other kitten. If you need a ray of sunshine that’s Ru Paul! Special needs: Her back legs are paralyzed and she wears a diaper because she can not control when she goes to the bathroom. Paraplegic, suspect secondary to spinal trauma. No pain and no surgical intervention is needed. Adoption Fee: $ 50 ##2210441##

Story
Hi! My name is Bently and here’s a little more about me:My JourneyI’m a community/colony cat who is now getting a chance at indoor life. I’ve been staying in a quiet condo setup at my foster home, so I’m still learning what it means to fully relax and trust in a home environment.My Social LifeOther cats? I haven’t had much interaction with other cats yet, so my preferences are still being discovered.Dogs? I haven’t met dogs.Kids? I would likely do best with calm, patient, cat-savvy humans who understand giving space and time.My social circle, summed up:I’m on the reserved side, but I appreciate gentle company and do best when I’m allowed to warm up at my own pace.My PersonalityI’m a sweet but cautious girl who takes a little time to feel comfortable. Once I do, my gentle nature begins to show. Because I’ve had limited interaction so far, my foster is still learning all my quirks—but I’ve shown that I’m calm, observant, and quietly affectionate in my own way.I Enjoy…Peaceful environmentsCozy, safe spots where I can observeGentle attention once I feel secureI’m Not a Fan Of…Being rushed or overwhelmed. Slow movements and patience help me feel safe and confident.What Makes Me SpecialI sport a distinctively bent tail that gives him a unique silhouette and extra charm. I’m a beautiful tuxedo cat with classic black-and-white markings that perfectly match my elegant, understated personality.My Perfect HomeI’d thrive in a calm, low-traffic home with someone who understands that trust takes time. If you enjoy earning a cat’s affection and watching their confidence bloom, I could be a very rewarding companion.

Story
Hi! My name is Vampira and here is a little more about me:My Journey:Please don’t be alarmed by my name — I’m very sweet and not spooky at all.I came to Smittens as a community cat from Feral Cat Coalition who was simply too friendly and too small to return to the streets. You may notice I’m petite for my age and will likely stay a tiny gal. This is probably due to some stunted growth from malnutrition as a kitten. But don’t worry — I’m healthy now and I looove food!I used to have a little snort but now that I`ve had a little work done (polyp removed) my snort is gone and I have a lot more energy.My Social LifeKids ? I adore gentle mini humans — they are truly my biggest fans, and I cuddle them as much as possible. The more attention they give me, the more I give right back.Other cats ? I can get along with other cats, and I’m considered a bit of an emotional support kitty if anyone (human or feline!) needs comfort. Dogs ? I haven’t been around dogs yet, so that’s still unknown.My PersonalityCurious, energetic, and affectionate.I love my toys, I love my people, and I am absolutely a people pleaser. I give little Eskimo kisses and thrive on attention. I’m also quite smart — I’m learning commands when treats and cuddles are involved. I understand boundaries and genuinely try to be a good girl.I may be small, but my personality is big.I Enjoy…Thigh scratches (elite-level favorite!)Eskimo kisses and long nuzzle sessionsTreats — I am very food motivatedToys that dangle so I can pounce dramaticallyAnything that rolls or has wheels (I will chase it until nap time)Treats make training fun, and it makes my fosters very proud when I show off my good manners.I’m Not a Fan Of…I prefer cuddles on my schedule. I won’t nip, bite, or scratch, but if I start to wiggle, that’s my polite way of saying, “Okay, time to set me down, please.”I like affection — I just like having a little say in it.What Makes Me SpecialI sound like a tiny ducky — I chirp and snort in the most adorable way. My little snort is permanent and completely harmless.I give the sweetest Eskimo kisses and will nuzzle you for as long as you’ll let me. And if you need to get going? I’ll simply stare lovingly and adore you again the next time I see you.My Perfect HomeMy perfect home is one where I have a human to interact with throughout the day. I thrive on connection, affec
