If you need a ray of sunshine that’s Ru Paul! Special needs: Her back legs are paralyzed and she wears a diaper because she can not control when she goes to the bathroom.

Story

Hello, I’m Camden! I was a young mama cat that raised five kittens out on the streets. These kittens were trapped and adopted out by a shelter.When I was fixed, I was supposed to return back outside. My trapper noticed that I enjoyed the company of people and brought me inside to foster. I enjoy a window perch, wet food treats, and playing with my circular track toy with a golf ball spinning around in it. I love to chase the ball and can stop it on a dime. I can be protective of my own safety around other cats being on the streets all my life, I am not sure if I would enjoy the company of other cats yet.I am soo excited for my life indoors with my forever home!

Story

Hi, my name is Sugaretti. Here are some things to know about me:My journeyI was rescued from Tijuana with my 3 babies by a nice family. I had a wound on my right hind leg and they took me to get it stitched up. The family who took us in couldn`t afford to keep us and my family, and I made our way into Smittens Rescue. My Social LifeOther cats? I tolerate other cats once I get to know them. I set firm boundaries. Dogs? Will decide the day I meet one…Kids? Will decide when I meet some, but I expect I`ll be fine as long as they don`t pull my tail.My PersonalityI am sweet gentle girl that loves to be pet and sit in your lap. I can be reserved with new environments and people at first. Please give me a small space to start as I might hide in a big open room/house.I EnjoyI love pets and exploring! I adore all kinds of toys, and general running around.I’m Not a Fan OfI’m still warming up to loud noises!My Perfect HomeI am still young and have a bit of energy so a family that has time to give me love, playtime and general attention is ideal. All I really need is lots of love and toys to play with.
