Murphy is a very lovable gray Russian blue cat approximately five years old. I brought him in after his owner moved and was not able to take him to his new housing location but I’m not able to keep him.

Story
Meety Sammy (Sam). He showed up a couple months ago. He got fixed recently and has his rabies shots. He is very chill and does well with the neighbor kids. He is very calm and lays around Alot lol. He loves to look out the window and watch birds. He is a very good hunter (when he was outside). He has been treated for fleas. I adore him but I already have a cat and don't have the money for another one. He will come with his collar, litter box, food, and also a cat tree with a little cubby he likes to go inside. I will vet whomever wants to adopt him and will want to see where he is going to live. Prefer no indoor smokers as the smoke is toxic to animals. I have spent probably 300 or more taking care of him, getting him fixed, and taking him to the vet which is why I am asking 25 dollars to ensure he goes to a good home

Story
Hello! I’m Tiger (around 2), and I’ve been with PCAPS since the middle of August, such a long time!In fact, I’m the cat who has been here the longest, I’m really wondering when I’m going to find my forever home. I’ve been spending time with my foster family, and they report that I get along very well with their two cats. I am a bit shy; I like having my own soft place to curl up in and snooze, and I enjoy looking out the window too. I will ask you with my soft mew to dangle my favorite toy for me.I like to spend evenings next to my foster people on the couch or cuddling up on the bed, with an occasional lap sitting session.Do you have a quiet, dog-free home for me? I hope the start of 2026 brings me a home.Love,Tiger
