Story
What a handsome boy! Tairn is a lovable Tabby that was brought to us after his family moved away and left him. Good neighbors brought him to Saint Francis so we could find him a loving home. This is one super lovable and sweet cat that is very affectionate and already stolen the hearts of staff and volunteers. Tairn immediately got along with all the other cats in the Cat House, so he would do well in a home with other cats. Tairn is just a great cat; sweet, gentle and very affectionate.

Story
This is Baby, a beautiful 5 year-old Tortoise kitty that was brought to us because her owner passed away. Baby has had a challenging transition from her loving home to St. Francis, as she initially spent most of her time hiding in one of the cat caves and was not eating. Staff and volunteers have spent a lot of time letting Baby know she is in a safe place and that she is loved. She is still a bit timid but is coming out more each day to see staff and visitors. Baby enjoys a gentle head or back scratch. She is now mingling with the other cats, which shows she is feeling safe and comfortable. Baby is truly a sweet and gentle little girl that will make a loving pet. We are hoping sweet Baby will soon find a loving forever home to get the love and affection she clearly misses from her previous owner.Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information or Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/apply for the adoption application.
