Say hello to MATTIE! -Adult (~3-5 years) -Dedicated biscuit maker -Powerful purr and sandpaper kisses! -A bit of an enigma, afraid of life itself -This kitty has behavioral considerations and will require medications and a special diet Mattie came into rescue very shut down, and has made some slow but steady progress in foster care with a calm environment and gentle routine, but her emotional comfort zone remains…contained. Literally. Fostering Mattie brings irony to the concept of foster home based rescue, considering the whole point is so that cats don't have to remain isolated, but solitude is truly Mattie's safe space: she has a single spare room all to herself, and will not come out of it. She’ll need a very special adopter; someone with a bounty of both time and patience to help unravel this fuzzy little ball of neuroticism. (And handling skills, as we would not consider her the easiest kitty to medicate, and the sensitive tummy makes for secretly medicated treats a challenge). Mattie lives with SIGNIFICANT anxiety that makes new environments and people overwhelming for her. She is very easily stressed and now that she is finally starting to become a bit more “cat-like” in her foster environment, we are eager to send her off to blossom in her forever environment. Despite her persistent state of “I Am Afraid,” she is truly soft at heart. She greets her food with enthusiasm, is passionate about fuzzy blankies, enjoys birdwatching from her cat tree, and is also a fan of chin scritchies and brushies. She has a proud purr and quite impressively (and perhaps slightly unsettingly) large eyeballs. Mattie’s anxiety does not actually present itself in a fractious nature; she doesn’t bite, she just hides when overwhelmed. Mattie wouldn’t hurt a fly. In fact, she is probably afraid of them. She is otherwise in good health, fully vaccinated, spayed, and also recently had her teeth cleaned.   What kind of home does Mattie need? -Quiet and low-stress -Patient and observant -Experienced with or open to supporting a behaviorally complex cat with medication needs -Okay with a cat who may always be a bit of a nervous nellie Just think of Mattie as the embodiment of “introvert energy.” Her current routine consists of liquid gabapentin by mouth twice daily, transdermal fluoxetine in the morning, and a hydrolyzed diet to keep her anxious tummy happy. So if you’re patient, motivated by even the tiniest progress, and emotionally fluent in “cat,” Mattie might just be your tiny, ghost-eyed soulmate.  Included with the adoption is the kitty's spay, all current-due FVRCP, FeLeuk, and rabies vaccinations for kitties over 1-year, deworming, flea treatment, a wellness check, FIV/FeLV combo testing, and microchipping. We offer a 2-week getting acquainted period and a 2-week wellness guarantee, so you can comfortably settle in with your new kitty!

I have had Sasha since 2019. She was found infested with fleas outside in the alley when she was about a week old. I received her from my sister who found her when she was about four months old and she lived with a Chihuahua who she got along with. Sasha has always been a scared cat always wanted to be alone. Her anxiety was so bad she was scratching so I had to declaw her. She’s fixed and she is a committed loyal cat. She doesn’t like a lot of noise and she has been inside CAT ever since I homed her. Sasha is my baby and unfortunately, she needs a new home.

Born on May 7, 2023. Has 5 other siblings.* All are ready for adoption. Never been outside - flea free. Eating hard cat food. Weaned. Litterbox trained. I am NOT 100% certain of the sex of the kittens so make sure to double check before finalizing the adoption. "Are dilute calico cats rare? Yes, even female dilute calico cats are rare. As we saw above, only one in every 1,000 cats is born a standard calico and dilute calico cats are that much harder to come by. One of the reasons for this is that the dilution gene is what’s known as a recessive gene. That means that a more dominant gene can mask it and a kitten would need to inherit the dilution gene from both parents in order to be born a dilute calico. "...- so, consider yourself very lucky indeed if you become the pet parent to one of these beauties." https://www.petsradar.com/advice/dilute-calico-cat

Meet Matchbox! 🐾💕 Matchbox is a beautiful little tabby with the cutest face that almost looks like a tiny sand cat! But behind that adorable face is a very shy, scared little girl who needs someone willing to be patient, gentle, and understanding. Matchbox may hiss when she’s approached, but don’t let that fool you, she’s a sweet girl who is simply frightened and still learning that people can be trusted. When she feels safe, she loves to play and let her playful personality peek through. 💗 Matchbox is bonded with her sister, and the two rely on each other for comfort, so they need to find a home together. A quiet, peaceful home without children would be best for them where they can take things at their own pace without too much noise or activity. She absolutely loves other cats and we think having a confident, friendly older kitty around could be wonderful for both Matchbox and her sister. A feline mentor could help show them the ropes and give them the extra confidence they need to come out of their shells. 🐱 Matchbox isn’t looking for someone who expects instant cuddles. She’s looking for someone who will give her time, respect her boundaries, celebrate the little victories, and love her for the shy, sweet girl she is. If you have a quiet home and a patient heart, Matchbox and her sister may be the perfect pair for you. ❤️🏡 The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, FIV/FeLV combo test, dewormer, flea treatment, age appropriate vaccines, and microchip.
