Story
Esmerelda is a loving black kitty with a big heart and an even bigger appetite for affection. She adores people and has a long history of enjoying the company of both cats and dogs, making her a great fit for a home with other animals. In fact, she truly thrives when she has companions - she loves being part of the action and rarely turns down attention. Food and treats are a big motivator for her, and she’ll eagerly show up for snack time or follow you around hoping for a little extra love. Esmerelda is known for greeting her person at the door, seeking constant companionship, and even keeping you company during baths - she just wants to be near her humans whenever she can. Because she’s so affectionate and people‑oriented, she’ll do best with older kids (7+) who can enjoy her enthusiasm and give her the steady companionship she craves. If you’re looking for a devoted, social cat who brings warmth to every corner of the home, Esmerelda may be the perfect match.

Story
Tigger is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves human attention and isn’t shy about leaning in for pets. He thrives on one‑on‑one interaction and builds strong bonds with his people. He can get a little overstimulated when he’s stressed, especially around other cats, so he’d do best in a home where he can be the center of attention or with adopters who can give him slow, thoughtful introductions. Tigger previously lived with another cat, but may prefer a quieter setup or a companion who respects his space. With older kids who can read his cues and a home that gives him room to settle, Tigger’s friendly, engaging personality will shine. He’s the type of cat who will happily follow his favorite person around and soak up all the affection he can get. Adoption requirements: older kids (7+) My adoption fee is $100 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market
