Story
Cosmo came to my daughter as a young kitten. She was out for a walk and he boldly came out of the woods near our house. She scooped him up and brought him home. She moved to go to college, and because her roommates also have cats who aren't the best with other cats, Cosmo is staying in her small bedroom at all times. He's stressed and needs more space. He is used to being around other cats and dogs and does well with them if they aren't aggressive.

Story
Lila is a sweet, small (only 6.5 lb!), quirky girl with the most adorable little grumpy face. Instead of cat treats, she goes crazy for coconut flakes...in dignified moderation, of course. Lila is a clever girl who knows and responds to her own name and "talks" to you with little trills. Lila loves toys, belly rubs, and snuggling with people, often tucking herself right under your arm by your side. She's a good girl with her cardboard scratchers, too! Lila would prefer a quiet household that will shower her with patient affection. She can be a bit nervous, but Feliway Optimum works great for her! Due to past trauma, Lila must go to a dog-free home. Also due to trauma, she should not be housed with bossy cats, as she can be reactive to aggression. In regard to other kinds of pets, Lila completely ignores caged pet rats and benignly avoids pet poultry when they have been brought indoors.

Story
Meet Leyla! She's a petite girl with a lynx point Siamese coat color and ice-blue eyes. Estimated age is 8-10 months. Very shy and frightened still but zero aggression - I can pull her into my lap and comb her and love on her, but she is not yet convinced people are a good thing. Her ideal home will be with someone patient and willing to work with her to earn her trust. She'll do best confined to a small area where you can get your hands on her for daily snuggling to win her over. She is fine with other cats. The best fit for her will be a household without children and one where you are settled - no plans to move frequently. Cat Zip Alliance - Campus Cats adopts to indoor-only homes and requires the adopter have a carrier for safe transport. Leyla has been spayed, received rabies & FVRCP vaccines, had a negative combo test, and is current on flea and worm prevention. Adoption fee - we ask adopters to choose an amount.

Story
Buster is a big teddy bear! Vocal and loving, he has been on the streets a while so takes a moment to trust a new person, but once he trusts you he is all over you. The vet loved him and said he stayed calm even when they shaved around his wounds to clean them. He must have an indoor-only home so that he doesn't try to return to the busy parking deck he was living in (he actually enjoyed it because he flirted with people and begged for food and attention, so he would try to go back, but he was dangerously dodging cars). He seemed to be friends with some cats and fought with others, so if he goes to a home with other cats they should not be aggressive or territorial. He is current on vaccines, flea and worm prevention, had a negative combo test, and is neutered. He's a young adult about 4 years old. He has a condition called granuloma that means he always has small wounds that don't heal well, but Convenia injections every several months have lessened the severity. Can someone give this love bug a forever home? No set adoption fee but we do ask for an adoption fee of your choosing to help us help more cats like Buster. Adopter must have a cat carrier for safe transport.

Story
Cash is very food motivated and very attached to his canned food, so he really needs someone willing to pamper him a bit. He'll nibble at dry food if that's all there is, but he goes wild over his canned Friskies and Fancy Feast. He loves to lounge in his cat tree in front of the sunny window, and really is a good boy. He can nip sometimes when very excited, which is why he probably is not the best for a home with young children. Cash is at least 5 years old, has been neutered, microchipped, is current on vaccines and flea & worm prevention, and had a negative combo test. Contact us at feralcatcaregivers@yahoo.com

Story
Protect your barn and outbuildings with natural pest control! Occasionally we have groups of two or three "teenage" siblings who may be too difficult to tame for regular homes, Some would likely tame up with time and patience, but with so many already-tame cats looking for homes, the best place for our teenage cats is on a farm. We also have adult semi-feral/feral cats pulled from local animal control facilities who were scheduled for euthanasia. They will require about 2-4 weeks of confinement in a stall or tack room so that they learn the sights and smells and sounds of their new home, and so they learn that they will be fed. We will provide a large dog pen, litter, litter box and food if needed. We require that the barn owner continue to provide daily food and fresh water once the cats are free - they will not stay and provide mousing services if they are not fed! They also will need 24-hour access to safe and dry barns or outbuildings for shelter. All cats looking for jobs as mousers will be spayed/neutered and vaccinated against rabies and distemper.
