Story
Gertrude is a very sweet old girl looking for a home to live out her life. We received a call from HAWS in Wisconsin about a cat that chipped back to AOS. Gertie is estimated at 14 years old but has much time to still spend with her people. She doesn't play much but loves to sit on her foster mom's lap and the heating vent. She refuses to use any type of cat bed, pillow, or blanket and prefers to sleep on the wood floor. When Gertrude came to AOS she was in pretty bad shape. She has scaring on her right cornea and we know she has very limited, if any sight in that eye. She had an upper respiratory infection, urinary tract infection, had to amputate 5 inches of her tail, fleas, lungworm, and had to have a tooth removed. Gertie's left eye was not doing well with a possible foreign object/corneal abrasion and had to be removed. Gertie knows her foster mom's voice and footsteps as she will come to the foster room door and is waiting for "mom" as soon as she opens the door. She definitely knows the sound of opening a can of food! It took a bit for Gertie to trust and show affection to her foster mom but that could also be attributed to the amount of pain she was in when she first went there. She has never been mean or aggressive, just standoffish. Gertie does not seem to get along with cats; dogs unknown; children unknown but possibly older children who understand that she is older and cannot see well.

Story
Hi! I'm Ebony! I came from a hoarding situation, and I'm used to being around kitties all the time. It's my comfort zone to have a friend with me, so I need to go home with another kitty — OR — to another kitty (if you already have a buddy for me at home). This will help my transition out of shelter life as I continue to work on trust and letting go of that difficult time in my life. I am bonded with Earl, and we do need to go home together. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Story
Hi! I'm Caroline! I am one of the original kitties that opened the shelter. (I guess you can call me an "OG"!) I am a beautiful brown tabby girl, with gorgeous green eyes. But I like my space—no touchy, please. I'm not mean, but I can get scared easily. I have had people sing "Sweet Caroline" to me. My face may look unimpressed ... but I secretly love the attention. I need a calm, chill home—and I would do great with another kitty. I have been around kitties all my life, and we can help each other learn and grow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.
