Meet Castor, a handsome 3-month-old brown tabby boy who's already neutered and ready for his forever home! 🐱 I may be a little shy at first, but once I warm up to you, I'm all cuddles and playful antics. I get along great with other cats, so I'd be a wonderful addition to a multi-cat household. At just under 3 pounds, I'm the perfect pocket-sized companion with a big personality waiting to blossom. My adoption fee is $125 — come visit me soon and watch me come out of my shell! ✨

Story
CONRAD is a male-neutered short hair brown tabby senior cat, born about 2017. He was rescued as a stray, with Jeremiah & Isabel. Initially they were kept in a catio, then in a locked bedroom for some years. His owner died, & his daughter couldn’t keep them. YAPS accepted him (& the other two cats) mid-Sept. 2025. The prior owner's daughter states Conrad was rather shy, but there was very limited human contact with the cats. He’s getting more social at YAPS, with more human interaction. We find him to be: gradually becoming more social. He may or may not come to you to be petted. When he accepts being petted he may head-butt you in appreciation. He prefers not to be held. Jeremiah and Conrad are bonded: they groom each other & stay near each other. Ideally (not required) they would be adopted together. When adopted, he should initially be placed in a “safe room” to gradually adjust to his new surroundings. Adoption fee sponsored.

Story
HAMLET is a male-neutered short hair white/orange tabby cat, born about mid-April 2025. He was rescued as a stray solo kitten found in a home’s back yard, then was raised by a foster as an indoor only cat. Per his prior foster: “Hamlet LOVES being petted, and having his head rubbed or scratched. He may need time to warm up to new people. He’s good with other cats and dogs.” He was surrendered to YAPS early June 2026 when his foster had to move. We find him to be beautiful with unique coloring, playful, and VERY friendly/loving. Hamlet usually comes to you from his resting place (& often comes if called by name), rubs on your legs, and may follow you around, seeking your affection. He LOVES head rubs & being petted – purrs softly, nuzzles you, & may “knead biscuits” in appreciation. If you’re sitting, he may jump up beside you, tap you with his paw for attention, &/or crawl onto your lap. He gets along well with most other cats, not all. When adopted, he should initially be placed in a “safe room”, to adjust to his new surroundings at his pace. Hamlet is a staff & volunteer favorite due to his very loving nature
