Story
This new friend has just arrived! They have come to us either as a transfer from another shelter, being found as a stray, or have been surrendered to us by their owner. When our friends are new to us, we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, comfort with handling, or experience with other pets or children. Our staff will spend some time reviewing any information provided by previous owners and spend some time with our new friend so that we can better update their biography. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific cat but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! We may require all household members, including children, to come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
ABOUT TOES Meet Toes, a handsome 6-year-old brown tabby with a sweet, laid-back personality and plenty of love to give! This charming gentleman can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he gets to know you, his affectionate side begins to shine! Toes is quite the chatterbox and loves having conversations with his human friends! Once he's feeling comfortable, he'll happily show his appreciation with plenty of purrs and some impressive biscuit-making skills. While he may take a little time to come out of his shell, he's sure to reward your patience with lots of love and affection. Toes is looking for a patient, understanding family who will let him settle in at his own pace. With a little time, plenty of love, and someone willing to listen to his stories, this sweet boy is sure to make a wonderful companion!

Story
ABOUT CROSBY & KONECNY This adorable bonded pair of 8-month-old brothers are looking for a forever home together! These sweet boys came to HAP after being found wandering as strays. Despite our efforts to locate an owner, no one came forward, so it's possible they spent their early days growing up outdoors. Since arriving at HAP, Crosby and Konecny have been learning that people aren't so scary after all! They currently live in one of our free-roaming cat rooms, where they're building confidence each day with the help of their feline friends. Konecny is the more outgoing of the two, often found romping around with other kittens or chasing after his favorite toys. His brother, Crosby, prefers to take things a little slower. This laid-back boy enjoys curling up in a cozy bed high on a cat tower or finding a quiet spot where he can watch the world go by. Both boys have a playful side and love making biscuits when they're feeling comfortable! With a little patience, plenty of love, and the comfort of having each other by their side, Crosby and Konecny are ready to find a forever family who will help them continue to blossom together!

ABOUT BLACKIE & RED Meet Blackie and Red, an adorable bonded pair of 4-year-old kitties looking for a forever home together! These sweet companions came to HAP when their owner was moving and sadly couldn't take them along. Now, they're hoping to find a loving family who will give them a fresh start! Blackie is a handsome boy who can be a little shy at first, but the way to his heart is through treats! Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate personality begins to shine. He's quite the chatterbox and loves giving his human friends little love nibbles! His sister, Red, is the more reserved of the two and prefers to take things at her own pace. She can be skittish in new situations, so she'll need a patient, understanding family who will give her the time and space she needs to feel safe. After losing the only home they've known, Blackie and Red are looking for a quiet, loving place where they can settle in together. With a little patience, plenty of treats, and the comfort of having each other by their side, these two are ready to start their next chapter with a forever family!
