Story
Cinba is a quiet little fellow — until it’s time for some pâté. He loves to play and enjoys cuddles. He is 5 months old. He was fixed and vaccinated April 13th.Cinba comes from a litter of seven that I hand-raised alongside his mama cat, who depended heavily on me during the first three weeks after giving birth. From the very beginning, he always stood out. Not only is he the only orange baby and the one with the shortest hair, but he’s also incredibly independent and might disappear for some quiet time.He can be shy at first with new people, but winning him over is easy: open a can of pâté and gently pet him while he eats, or bring out the cat fishing rod for some playtime. He doesn’t enjoy rough play and prefers a calm, quiet environment where he can relax on a fluffy bed — with a scratching post nearby, of course. He also enjoys looking out of the window.Wouldn't recommend being alone for long hours, he is very used to play mates. He is used to kids and used to being handled.

Story
This is incredibly hard for our family because he is deeply loved, and we want to find him the calm, patient home he deserves. He is a wonderful, gentle cat who is very chill, independent, and sweet. He loves being pet and brushed and will come to you for affection once he feels safe and comfortable. He is not a lap cat and does not like being picked up or confined, so he needs someone who understands and respects cat boundaries.He can be cautious with new people and takes time to trust, but once he does, he is very loving in his own quiet way. He prefers adults or older children and would do best in a calm home. He previously lived with another cat he loved to play with, but we feel he would thrive most as the only pet. He loves lounging and relaxing and is indoor-only.We are looking for an experienced, kind, patient cat owner who will love him for exactly who he is.

Story
Meet Talladega! Talladega’s story started in a pretty unusual place—he was found tucked inside the bumper of a car by a couple returning to their campsite after spending the day at the races. Tiny, scared, and painfully skinny, this little boy had a rough beginning, but you would never know it now. These days, Talladega has transformed into a total biscuit-making Velcro kitty who wants nothing more than to be close to his people at all times. He absolutely loves laps, cuddles, pets, and attention, and he will happily curl up beside you, on your shoulder, or in your lap the moment you sit down. If you’re looking for a kitten who truly bonds with his humans, Talladega is your boy. Talladega would thrive in a calmer home where he can feel safe and connected to his people. He would do especially well with someone who works from home or spends a lot of time around the house, since he genuinely enjoys companionship and being part of everyday life. Because he is sensitive to noise and commotion, he would likely do best in a quieter home without young children or dogs. Talladega is also very fond of to his best friend, Ellie Mae, and would love to be adopted with her if possible. Talladega will be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption, but is available for foster-to-adopt to the right family now. If you’re looking for a deeply affectionate companion with a resilient spirit and a huge heart, Talladega may be the perfect addition to your family. Go to @forrescue.net to fill out an application.

Story
Meet Tink Tink is a beautiful 3-year-old girl who came to us with her daughter (Bobble, also available). The girls were surrendered to a local shelter when their family lost their housing. After all the sudden changes, Tink was understandably nervous, but she settled quickly into foster care and now shows her sweet, playful personality. Tink is the more outgoing and confident of the pair — curious, affectionate, and always ready to explore her surroundings or ask for attention. She loves her toys, bird watching at the window, and getting cuddles at night. Tink has tested negative for FIV/FeLV and will be spayed and fully vaccinated prior to adoption. If you’re interested in giving this lovely girl the forever home she deserves, please apply to adopt at www.boomersbestbuddies.com
