Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Damar is a curious young man, full of fun!  He brightens the home of his loving foster every day.  Damar has grown up with his foster parents, and with his sister Kes by his side.  These two siblings need a chance at a forever home together!  They rely on each other for comfort and stability, though Damar is the more outgoing of the two.  These kitties feel comfortable with their foster parents, will gratefully accept pets with purrs, and are even allowing patient guests to socialize with them.  They just need security!  Kitties like this often form the deepest bonds with their adopters, because they know this is the person they can truly trust with everything.  Would you give Damar and Kes a chance to bond with you?   Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!   If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org.    We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes.  For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.   Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.wants to love and be loved!Shirley was found outdoors as a young kitten, struggling to survive on her own. Life was difficult and uncertain, but thankfully, she was rescued, spayed, vaccinated, and given a second chance. During her recovery from a little kitty cold, we discovered that Shirley, though initially cautious, could learn to trust people. With time, gentle care, and soft voices, she has started to come out of her shell. Now a young adult, Shirley is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she does, her sweet and sensitive nature shines through. She also has a beautifully distinctive face that sets her apart from the crowd—your camera roll is sure to fill with pics of her! Shirley is ready to find a home where she can feel secure and cherished, one that will let her continue growing into the loving companion we know she can be. Could that home be yours?   Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!    If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org.     We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes.  For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.    Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Atlas is a cautious young boy--he is a lover at heart! Once you get past his defense mechanisms, he is a little purr machine! Squeeze up treats will show him that you are to be trusted.  He experienced scary things on his own, and he wants to make sure that he is in safe hands before he commits himself!  He never wants to be heartbroken. . . but once you win him over, you will have a friend for life. He would do best in a home with other animals, that could be cats or dogs. If you have dogs at home, he could also become their friend for life, because Atlas LOVES his foster’s dogs!  Would you give Atlas a chance to join a forever family?   Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!    If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org.     We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes.  For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.    Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Alone on the streets is no way to grow up.  This girl was just a tiny scrap trying to get by, and it frightened her.  Her photos really tell a story; she was once cowering, and now enjoys people, walking proud and confident, knowing no one would hurt her!  Sometimes we say that kittens are learning to trust, and with Macaroni, we can say she has already learned.  Finding a real home and someone who would commit to her for life would melt her heart.  Would you be willing to be her hero?     Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!    If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org.     We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes.  For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.    Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Whopper was found with his siblings outside a fast food restaurant.  Cats are no fools!  In fact, treats are still the way to Whopper's heart. . . bring out the treats and squeeze-ups, and he is yours!  It took this group some time to come around, but they are doing amazing now (see also Milkshake, Whopper’s brother!).  Whopper greets his people and asks for scritches, rolling to lay his head in their hand and let them know how happy he is to see them.  Did we mention that Whopper also does great with other cats?  He is old enough to be adopted as a singleton, but he could join a kitty family.  These boys are truly a socialization and foster success story!  If you would like a friendly, loving best friend to call your own, please pull around to apply for Whopper.       Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!    If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org.     We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes.  For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.    Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Izzy is a quite ACTIVE and SOCIAL little girl… she absolutely loves people!  While she would happily hop in your bag and go, it would be best if she had another young cat or kitten at home to play with, because you may not have 24 hours in your day to attend to a kitten.  She needs lots of active fun!  It doesn’t hurt that Izzy is gorgeous with her big round eyes, sleek black fur, and dainty white chest patch.  Apply to meet her!       Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!    If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org.     We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes.  For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.    Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt!
