Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I want A "FUR"ever" HOME!  Read the FULL Bio to see where I am located and contact info:    C2025150  Meet our boy Marble.  Marble is around 2 years old, 10 pounds Domestic Short Hair. Marble showed up as a stray. No one knew where he had come from.  Marble is a very sweet boy, but he is a little stressed here at RCHS.  It is alot for some animals when you are use to roaming free and then put in a kennel surrounded by a bunch of other animals. He has not tested well with other cats or dogs, but that could be the stress from the shelter or the fact that he has double ear infections (which he has been treated for now).   Given some space and time, Marble could be good with other animals. He just needs to decompress.  Please help us find him a home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. All ADOPTERS  MUST PLEASE.....

She was found as a stray and taken to be spayed and given shots. She’s very sweet and affectionate for a stray and is a little skittish at first but if you sit and wait she’ll come to you on her own!

Story
Lovely little Sassy. She is just a year old and was brought to the shelter with a litter of kittens. When first brought to us, she did not interact well with people or cats. After a short time of the team working to socialize Sassy, she has become far more comfortable with human interaction and socializing with the other cats. She no longer hides in a cat cave and comes out for visitors and to socialize with other cats. She's ready for a loving home!Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information including the adoption application
