Please meet Onyx!  She is a very friendly girl. I visited Onyx, and she was happy for pets, stretching her chin out to my hand. Such a quiet and affectionate kitty. I love her sleek black coat with a pure white star on her chest. Could you give sweet Onyx the loving home she needs? Please check out her short video:  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LLXpC5_1w-c .  And here is another:  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uiFWmQpaLPo .

Story
      Meet Maple  – A Sweet Girl Learning to Feel Safe. Maple is a beautiful buff tabby with soft golden fur and gentle, expressive eyes. This sweet girl has a kind heart, but she’s feeling a little scared right now as she adjusts to the busy shelter environment. You’ll often find Maple curled up in her cozy bed at the back of her cage — her safe little space where she can relax and take everything in at her own pace. It’s where she feels most comfortable while she learns that she’s safe and cared for. Even though she’s nervous, Maple is a friendly girl underneath it all. She just needs a patient, loving person who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to come out of her shell. Once she feels secure, her true sweet personality is sure to shine. Maple would do best in a calm, quiet home where she can settle in gently and build confidence. With a little patience and a lot of love, she’ll blossom into a wonderful, loyal companion. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to nurture and love, Maple could be your perfect match.  . Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Trainer)April 23, 2026, 6:42 am

Story
Meet Jigsaw  Jigsaw is a precious young tabby girl with a heart as big as her story. She was first spotted standing alone in an alleyway, but the moment she saw a kind colony feeder, she walked right up as if to say, “I’m ready to go home.” And just like that, her new chapter began. From the minute she stepped inside, Jigsaw settled in with ease—clearly grateful to be safe and loved.  This sweet girl is a quiet little “biscuit maker,” happiest when she’s cozy and content. She has a gentle, loving nature and absolutely adores human affection. Jigsaw isn’t shy about asking for attention either—she’ll charm you with soft headbutts and affectionate face rubs to make sure you know she’s ready for love. She's also frequently playful   If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion who will happily remind you how much she cares, Jigsaw is your girl.  April 23, 2026, 6:42 am
