Story
Hello, my cat's name is Spyro! I adopted her at 3 years old at the Athens humane society shelter 2 years ago! She is the sweetest, cuddliest, and friendly cat. I am not able to continue caring for her because my busy college schedule. I want to find her a home where she gets all the love and attention she deserves. I'm looking for someone who has space for her to roam as well as a cat lover! She loves to cuddle and lay beside you, and she also loves to play with red dot lights. She's friendly with other people and will greet. She doesn't run away when let outside she just enjoys munching on grass! She is on the clingier side of cats and loves to be under you. If you love cuddles and purring I'd recommend sweet Sypro. I will also provide an automatic water dispenser!!

Story
Can only be adopted with his brother, Pacho. They can not be separated. I am moving to Australia and cannot take them with me. They were rescued as kittens in Philadelphia. Their approximate date of birth is 08/25/2020. They are indoor cats and have no interest in escaping outside. They have their claws. They are shy and take some time to adjust to new surroundings. They do eventually come around. They have never been around other animals so they may take longer to adjust if their new home already has pets. Personalities: Pablo is friendly and affectionate. He comes when called and will sit with you. He is not aloof and is often in the same room when I am home. He sleeps with me. Pacho is skittish. He is often in the room as well, but likes to keep a safe distance from humans. He will come over to me to be petted, but does not stay. He is more a companion for Pablo than me! Please help! It will break my heart to take them to a shelter.

Story
Poppi is a very sweet social cat. She loves playing but also loves to snuggle and rest with someone. I adopted her from the humane society so she could live a life in a loving home instead of a cage. She is a little over 1 years old. She had been around children, dogs, and other cats and has thrived in all scenarios. I am hoping to find a family oriented environment, or just someone who has a more stable living environment for her. I move around a lot and I feel it is unfair to drag her along with me. I want her to have a place she knows is home and I hope she finds more people to love on her. I love her so much which is why I am doing this for her. I want Poppi to thrive in a loving home, and I know she will.

Story
I have had Gus for over 8 years - I adopted him in college. Since becoming pregnant and having a baby this past year, it has become extremely difficult to take care of Gus and love him the way he needs. He is a very sweet and curious cat. He can be a bit of a scaredy cat, he is not aggressive at all. I know Gus will benefit from having a new owner who will be gentle and loving towards him and give him lots of snuggles and the attention he deserves.

Story
Meet Finn 🐾 Finn is a sweet, playful young cat born in July 2024 and adopted from the Atlanta Humane Society in October 2024. He’s full of energy and loves toys, “cat TV,” and playtime. When he’s ready to relax, he’s also very affectionate—if you’re down to cuddle, Finn will happily curl up with you (and he’s known to pick up your hand to demand extra pets!). Finn is still young, lively, and would do best in a loving, caring home where he can get plenty of attention, play, and affection. He has a big personality and an even bigger heart, and he’s ready to bring lots of love to the right home.
