This is Coco. She gets along great with other cats and also doesn't mind dogs too much. She is friendly, but is a little scared with new people at first. I can't keep her because she got pregnant and can't afford kittens :(

Story
Are you (or your cat) in search of a sweet, laid-back lounging partner? Vera is your girl!    Her idea of an excellent day involves hanging out in her cat bed, meals, and treats, of course! She also loves pets, and while she’ll entertain you with the occasional bout of zoomies, this mellow gal gets most of her exercise by walking to her food bowl. Give her a little pat while she’s eating her breakfast and she’ll be happy for the rest of the day!    Vera is a striking tuxedo cat with a black face and white lightning bolt, along with extravagant white whiskers. While Vera’s looks may be dramatic, she’s actually super easy going, and can even be shy in new situations. Vera may hide while she’s building her confidence, but she can be inspired to venture out with the promise of friendship from another cat. Her foster guardian says she’s great with other cats and might make a wonderful companion to another senior cat. Cuddle puddle, anyone?    Vera is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form !   Best Match: Seeking an adopter with some cat experience Prefers a calm adult-only home, but may be okay with older kids and teens.  May prefer a home with other cat/s April 25, 2024, 3:56 pm

Story
Oskar and McCrae are a perfectly complementary duo for adopters looking for a bonded pair. Fluffy, majestic Oskar loves playing with his stuffed mice and bats, is quick to agree to a round of swats with a wand toy, and loves bird watching. Though he loves brushes and head scratches once he gets to know you, Oskar is also a shy fellow, who likes to survey his surroundings from the safety of a sheltered hiding space, like an enclosed cat bed. His brother McCrae, on the other hand, is an extroverted people cat. While he does enjoy bird watching with his sibling, he loves cuddling with his people, and tends to follow them from room to room as they go about their business, and cuddle up with them when they go to bed at night.   Both cats, being 12 years old, are much more excited about sleeping through the day than zooming about the house, though they are both easily roused for playtime.   McCrae, like many cats his age, has hyperthyroidism, which requires a pill, ground up and mixed with his food, twice a day. Hyperthyroidism needs treatment but is very easily manageable and does not affect his quality of life. Oskar, with his majestic fluff, needs to be brushed regularly to avoid frequent hairballs. This is an activity he quite enjoys, making it an easy task.   Despite their seemingly-opposite personalities, Oskar and McCrae get along great. To top it off, they also look great together! They are on a special diet to keep any foreseeable issues at bay.    Oskar & McCrae are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form !   Best Match:   Seeking an adopter some cat experience Could join a calm home with older kids and teens Currently needs special diet and one cat needs medication to stay happy and healthy April 25, 2024, 3:56 pm

Story
Meet Blackberry, a sweet, shy cat who will warm your heart like a freshly baked muffin!   Despite her shyness, Blackberry is a very loving cat. As she’s gotten more confident in her foster home, Blackberry has learned to love head and ear scratches and will flop over on the floor to fully enjoy them, exposing her cute little belly. She’s cautious with new people at first, but her natural curiosity almost always wins over—especially if treats are involved! It may take her some time to adjust to a new home, so she needs a patient adopter who is willing to allow her time to get comfortable in a new space. Blackberry has excellent litter box habits and is a very good eater, though she can be demanding for food at times.   Blackberry is also very energetic and loves to bat around a fuzzy mouse toy on her own. She hasn’t gotten used to handheld wand toys and strings yet, and loud noises can cause her to startle. After playtime, she’ll curl up for a quality napping session nearby. She likes to sleep near where people are and will also often seek out a cozy spot to curl up near her foster, like at the edge of the bed or in the corner of the sofa. Close enough to keep an eye on things!   With some patience and love, Blackberry is sure to become your new best friend. If you’re looking for a cat who will fill your heart and your home with love like a slice of blackberry pie, Blackberry is the perfect choice. She’s simply irresistible!    Blackberry is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. If you’re interested in setting up a meeting with Blackberry, or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form!   Best Match:  Seeking an adopter with some cat experience Could join a calm home with cat savvy older kids and teens Prefers a quiet home April 25, 2024, 3:56 pm

Story
Cutie Kichona is always ready to play. Get out the wand toys and she will entertain you by stalking, scrambling, and jumping after them. A toy mouse tossed down the hall will send her running and a bit of tissue paper provides loads of fun. If she pauses for a drink, you’ll be amused by the cute way she scoops the water from her bowl with a paw. Mid-game, she might roll on her back and give you a glimpse of her belly. Play is clearly the way to this shy cat’s heart.   When playtime is over, Kichona prefers to keep a bit of distance. She enjoys chin scratches, but is less enthusiastic about pets on her back. She may not be a lap cat yet, but she does like to be near her person. She has synced to her foster’s daily schedule and sleeps at the end of her bed. If you’re working from home, Kichona might hang out on your desk and ask for occasional pets. She’ll even meet you at the door when you come home.   Kichona approaches new people and situations with caution and may need some time to feel comfortable in a new home. Patience and plenty of playtime will be a winning combination as you get to know each other. Once you earn Kichona’s trust, you’ll have a sweet companion who brings plenty of fun into your life.   Kichona is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form !    Best Match: Seeking an adopter with cat experience Will be most comfortable in a quiet home with kids 12+ May be okay with other cats April 25, 2024, 3:56 pm

Story
Sometimes what you really need is a classic cat. Esmerelda is old school - a gray tabby who loves playing with string, but disdains newfangled toys and entertainments. Hearkening back to the classic cats you may have grown up with, she'd prefer you look at but not touch her belly - an action she discourages without biting or scratching.    Generally very mellow, Esmerelda tends to get the zoomies after using her litter box. It is after these zoomies that she is most excited to play with her beloved string. Though she does have fun playing, Esmerelda has arthritis that requires medication, which she happily eats up when it's mixed in with her wet food or a tube of churu.   Esmerelda is an affectionate, loving kitty who enjoys telling you about her day and relaxing with afternoon lap naps. If no laps are available, she is very fond of being tucked under a blanket to dream the afternoon away.    Esmerelda is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
