Story
Meet Kitty! Kitty came to us in August when her ownder could no longer care for. While she had a difficult time adadpting to shelter life, she has come out of her shell and done very well while in her foster home! Her foster has noted that she loves to play fetch but will only consistently return one specific fuzzy ball, which is her favorite toy! She sleeps at the foot of their bed at night, but she gets up to snack on her food sometimes! She loves to come up to people on her own, and can be selective about being pet but she appreciates when it is on her own terms! Kitty is still getting acclimated to loud noises, and tends to hide but her foster noted that she does recover quickly and is actively working on her resilience:) Kitty loves when the TV is left on for her so she can get some background noise to help her feel more comfortable. If you're looking for a sweet and loving lady, Kitty is your girl! Interested in adopting? Please fill out an application at this link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat Please specify the animal's name and ID number (if the ID number is not entered, we may mix up the animal you're interested in!) A staff member will reach out to you asap to discuss your application.

Story
Daffodil is a loyal, affectionate, playful cat who loves any & all of his toys and snuggling next to his human(s). He'll make a great pet in a home where somebody is nearby during the day as he really enjoys being near you, but he also does well if he needs to be left alone. He is conversational and will let you know when he wants to eat or play. A house with accessible windows or a nice perch would be ideal, since he loves to climb up and watch the world go by. He loves wet food and is very neat with the litter box. He’s really the perfect cat companion! Daffodil is one of our special care animals due to chronic upper respiratory infections and gingivitis, which can require a little extra vet care, but such a perfectly charming guy is absolutely worth the extra investment. Daffodil is currently in foster! If you're interested in adopting Daffodil, please fill out an application at this link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat Make sure to include his name and ID number in the application! A staff member will reach out to you shortly to arrange a meet and greet!

Story
Meet Marcie! This beautiful girl is looking for a forever home that is ready to give her plenty of decompression time to become the most comfortable, calm lady she can be. Fortunately, Marcie is being loved in a foster home in the meantime. Her foster family reports that while she definitely prefers to hide and is still very much in the decompression stage, she loves playing with string toys, sitting in the sink, and accepting treats out of her foster parent's hand. With that kind of food motivation, who knows how far out of her shell Marcie will come in time? Being able to connect with her through hand feeding is a good indication that more trust is being built. Think you could give this gentle soul the loving forever home she needs? Fill out an application for Marcie at the link below. Be sure to include her name and animal number! https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat

Look at this cozy Pumpkin! Things we are learning about Pumpkin: Pumpkin is a complete sweetheart. It takes time for him to trust, but once he does, he is a cuddle bug! His favorite toys are still a mystery, though we're sure he'll let us know once he finds one. Pumpkin is spending time with a wonderful, caring foster and opening up more each day. Interested in adopting? Take him home today!

Story
Meet Sprinkles! This incredible girl is lucky enough to be getting love in a foster home while she waits for her forever family. Her foster family reports that she is a very vocal girl and maybe the first ever documented Churu and wet treat hater! Sprinkles reportedly loves her wet food, however, and enjoys head and neck rubs but NO pets below the neck and chest region. Sprinkles is one of our Special Care pets due to a condition called hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is the most common hormone imbalance in cats - Sprinkles will just need regular vet care to maintain her hormone levels, which can be expensive. But for a girl this sweet and beautiful? So worth it. If Sprinkles caught your attention, fill out an application at the link below, and we will coordinate a meet up with her foster family! Sprinkles can't wait to meet you. https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat
