Story
Smokie is so nice and cuddly when comfortable and knows you. She only bites if you touch her stomach or other areas she doesn’t allow like her tail. She does love her head being pet and gives you kisses. She likes to sun bathe and sleep a lot. She enjoys a mix of gravy wet food and dry food for her meals. Her favorite wet food is the extra gravy Sheba and she gets medicated dry food from the veterinarian due to her previous condition. She is lovely, she loves to cuddle and lay under blankets, and be super close to you. I really hope to find her a home that can give her unlimited, and unconditional love and tim. She more than deserves it, she has had a bit of a rough life before I was her owner. I have tried to give her my very best but I work 2-3 jobs and live on my own. Like I said, she deserves better. She’s super smart and communicative and with the right care she can be fully litter trained.

Story
Hi, I’m Paul the Alien. I’m a sweet, curious boy who loves exploring and taking in everything around me. I get along well with other cats, but I can be a little shy at first and might hang back until I feel safe. Once I’m comfortable, I show my affectionate, gentle side and love spending time with people I trust. If you’re looking for a quiet, curious companion with a heart full of love, I’d be over the moon to join your family!

Story
Allow me to introduce myself: I am Ringo. I am a distinguished, older gentleman with a penchant for the finer things in life. While I carry myself with a certain debonair charm, I’m a total softie at heart! My favorite pastimes include: The "Flop & Roll": I love nothing more than rolling over to show off my belly for some well-deserved scratches. Socializing: I’ve never met a stranger I didn't like! Meeting new people is one of my greatest joys. Bird Watching: I can spend hours by the window, peacefully observing the world as it drifts by. Playtime: Don’t let my age fool you—I still think toys are absolutely grand. I’m looking for a quiet corner to nap in and a kind hand to pet me. Could that be with you?

Story
Hi, I’m Danielle Tiger! I’m an independent girl who knows what I like—and I like affection on my terms. When I choose to come over for pets or cuddles, just know it means you’re pretty special to me. Treats are definitely the way to my heart (churros are my favorite!), and I won’t say no to a tasty snack. I do best in a quiet, calm home because I can get overstimulated easily, so a peaceful environment helps me feel safe and happy. I enjoy having my own space and taking time to myself, but I still love being around my people in my own way. I can live with other cats too, as long as they respect my boundaries—especially when I’m eating. A girl’s gotta have her own food, after all! If you’re patient and understanding, I’ll reward you with a one-of-a-kind bond. I may be a little particular, but I promise I’m worth it. P.S My adoption has been sponsored, now all I need is a fur-ever home!
