Story
FeLV + Kitty needs home!!! YES these beautiful kitties have FeLV but they are not sick. They just need to be in a home with other FeLV + cats. IF you have an open home for this bonded pair they are awesome or if you know anyone with FeLV cats please share!! Meet Friday and Sunday, 7 month old male/female combo we call the dynamic duo! If you want cuddly, playful & affectionate cats, then look no further! These kitties are the definition of friendly. Friday and Sunday are bonded and would do best to remain in the same home. Although they love snuggling and playing with each other, they have their own little quirks. Sunday, the gorgeous gray kitty, loves being by her humans side as much as possibly while Friday, the beautifully patterned kitty is a bit more independent. Their personalities help make them the perfect pair! Have questions about this dynamic duo? Please reach out to us at info@spotsavespets.org and we will be happy to answer! We want the best for these kitties.

Story
How this pet arrived: KC was brought in by her previous owner on November 4, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet KC, a distinguished feline with plenty of purrsonality! She's beautiful, independent and thrives when she can lounge in a peaceful environment. KC has a bit of a history with skipping the litterbox, and while the exact "why" remains one of life's great mysteries, we suspect she wasn't thrilled about sharing her space with another cat and may also have some early kidney changes. KC is looking for a drama-free home without the hustle and bustle of other pets or young children. A calm environment and a dedicated "KC Room" to help her reset her litterbox habits will set her up for success. She may take her time to settle in, but once KC feels comfortable, she'll reward your patience with quiet companionship and her own brand of quirky charm. Although she has an independent nature, she may snuggle with you at night, once you bond! She also enjoys receiving ear rubs and will show you her air biscuits in return. Think of her as a cat with main character energy - she just needs the right stage to shine! Don't forget to bring a cat carrier for a safe ride home! Shy/Fearful Cat:KC requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her. Primary Color: Brown Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 10.34 Age: 10yrs 4mths 0wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Henry was brought in by a community member on November 12, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Henry! Henry is a sweet guy with a slow-to-warm-up, then total sidekick vibe. At first, he may give you the classic polite nod from across the room, but once he decides you're trustworthy, he leans right in for all the head scratches. Being carried? Absolutely not on his agenda. But sprawling in a sunny spot like a tiny lion on vacation? Now that is his specialty. Henry is on the lookout for a home where he can chill out, claim the best sunbeams and quietly supervise life's activities. He brings calm energy, soft paws and excellent sunbathing skills to the table. He does have a quiet heart murmur, so we recommend following up with your vet to keep him happy and healthy. If you're ready for a mellow buddy with a sprinkle of charm and a strong appreciation for relaxation, Henry might be the cat for you. When it's time to bring him home, don't forget a large, secure carrier - Henry appreciates a safe, roomy ride! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. This pet is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Blue Weight: 13.6 Age: 10yrs 3mths 3wks

Story
How this pet arrived: Twinner was brought in by her previous owner on January 18, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Twinner, a beautiful soul looking for a patient heart to help her shine! Twinner arrived from a busy home with many other feline friends, and while she's still learning that people can be pretty great, she has started to warm up to us and is enjoying gentle petting. Twinner is a sensitive girl who thrives on peace and quiet. She is looking for a calm, steady home where she can settle in at her own pace. Because she loves a predictable routine, she'd be happiest in a household with children over 8 years old and without any dogs. She came from a home with cats and has been able to co-exist with other cats in the shelter, but she will need slow introductions if you have other cats at home. To help her feel like the queen of her castle, she'll love starting out in her very own "confinement room" filled with cozy spots to hide in and high perches where she can survey her new kingdom. If you have a quiet home and a lot of love to give, Twinner is ready to start her next chapter with you! With a little time and some gentle encouragement, this special girl is sure to become a cherished member of the family!Shy/Fearful Cat:Twinner requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her. Primary Color: Black Weight: 8.9 Age: 3yrs 1mths 2wks

How this pet arrived: Luna was brought in from another shelter on March 4, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Luna, a sweet and sensitive girl looking for a special someone to help her shine! She thrives on peace and quiet, so she'd be happiest in a household without the hustle and bustle of young children or rambunctious dogs. Luna may even enjoy having a social cat friend to show her the ropes! To help her feel secure, she'll love starting out in her very own "safe zone" filled with cozy hiding spots and high perches where she can survey her new kingdom. When you come to adopt her, please bring a top-loading cat carrier to ensure she has a secure journey home. With a little time and gentle encouragement, Luna is ready to start her next chapter as a cherished member of your family!

Story
How this pet arrived: Ivy was brought in by her previous owner on February 26, 2026.Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Ivy - the life of the party wrapped in fur! This energetic girl is always ready to turn an ordinary afternoon into playtime. If it crinkles, wiggles, dangles, or rolls, she's already on it. Ivy has a big personality and an even bigger zest for fun. She's learning that fingers and toes aren't part of her toy collection and is doing a great job redirecting that playful energy toward wand toys, kickers, and crinkly balls. Because she's an active and clever girl, Ivy thrives in a home that can keep her mind and body busy. Puzzle feeders, training games, toy rotations, and daily playtime will help her stay happily engaged. Think of her as your tiny, whiskered athlete who benefits from both physical workouts and brain challenges. Ivy also appreciates a human who can read her signals. A quick tail swish or a little ripple along her back is her way of saying, "Okay, that's enough for now!" Giving her a short break helps keep interactions positive and fun for everyone. She would do best in a home with older children (12+) who understand that playtime has rules and can respect her boundaries. If you're looking for a bold, bouncy, endlessly entertaining companion who will keep you laughing and on your toes, Ivy is ready to bring the fun. Don't forget a secure, hard-sided carrier for her ride home!Overstimulated Cat:  Ivy requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.
