Story
Boopy was adopted from a a non-profit, no-kill cat rescue shelter and low-cost veterinary clinic in Margate, Florida. Since a kitten he has always been vocal,needy, full of love and seeks attention. A true hunter at heart. Boopy is 5 years old born on May 9, 2021. In his new home I am looking for a safe accepting environment where he can play freely, feel acknowledged, receive lots of attention and love, and several spaces for him to roam and feel comfortable(especially outside supervision). Boopy is vocal, affectionate, curious, loving, extremely chill, calm and smart. He gets along with other pets, but for the most part he is just a shy guy. Boopy has anxious attachment so whenever he is alone, enrichment and stimulation really aids in his boredom and loneliness. Boopy also is well behaved with the right amount of attention and food he is the best and most loving cat you can have :).

Story
This sweet girl is a little rough around the edges, but is full of love and cuddles! Seeking experienced and patient pet parent(s)! She was found in December as a stray, with one back leg amputated. She doesn't let that hold her back at all, jumping up on the couch to lay in your lap or running around chasing toys. VERY food motivated. Does require some light assistance/supervision with the litter box. She knows how to use them no problem, but does occasionally lose balance, so needs occasional wiping of her bottom to clear away litter. We'd be sure to send her with the wipes we've been using. She seems to get frustrated/nervous around other cats, so definitely needs to be an only pet. No experience having her with kids, but would assume wouldn't be good with small children due to same issue. I know she has a few difficulties, but she really is a sweet cat. She just needs a more peaceful home.

Story
Fat Sammy was a city kitty that was a part of our TNR efforts. He was so thin and frightened so we kept him with us to see if we could get him in better health, only to discover he had BB pellets under his skin, so no going back to the city for him. He has grown big and healthy and handsome. He's reliving the kittenhood he never got to experience and he will play non stop, rolling on his back with his favorite catnip pickle. Sammy does need to be the only male cat in his new home. In fact, he would be just fine being an only cat with plenty of toys and Temptations Sammy is a bit of a celebrity amongst the locals and even had a a snack line named after him. A home check and references will be required of any potential adopters. Contract will require return if he is not a good match after placement. Fat Sammy is a Rockstar in a cats body, the king of cat swagger, with a tendency to snack a little more than he should. He is deeply loved available to the right home only.

Story
Detroit is a beautiful boy with the sweetest face that will melt your heart. He is just under 2 yrs old. He was very loved by the family that adopted him, however their son became chronically ill and after several hospital visits they felt it was time to shift their focus (understandably) to finding medical care that required traveling. It was also shared with us that there were very boisterous toddlers that would chase him, and he did spend his first week with us hiding in the closet until the coast was clear. Detroit is now with us, his original fosters. He is relaxed and back his old confident self. He's a really sweet boy and he's ready to find his forever snuggle buddy. His adoption contract will require that he is returned to us, or we will be notified if placement is needed again for any reason. Our goal is to set Detroit and his new family up for success.
