Story
Hi there, I'm Summer and I am 8 years old. I am a pretty tuxedo with gorgeous green eyes. I was adopted from TAPS as a kitten and recently picked up as a stray by animal control with no response from my former human... Understandably, I am confused...quiet and reserved. I do enjoy some gentle pets and scratches or being talked and once I get to know you, I am quite friendly and sweet. I just need a little patience. I also like a window to sun myself in or a cat tree to climb and a bit of catnip or some treats. If you're willing to go slow and open your heart to a girl who's had a rough road and who could use a bit of extra love, please fill out an online application to come meet me. Maybe I could be your forever best friend and you could be my true forever family.

Story
Hi, I'm Everly and I am 4 months old. I am a darling tabby girl with a gorgeous, soft, coat. I came to TAPS after someone found me under their truck with an injured paw. I have been living with a wonderful foster family ever since! My foster mom says that I am a timid girl, but that I want to be loved (TRUE). I will come close for pets and scratches but would rather not be picked up. I do well with my foster sister. I love my donut shaped bed...It helps make me feel safe whenever there is a loud noise. She says that I would do best in a loving, patient home! If that sounds like it could be with you, please fill out an online application so we can meet in person and find out if we're a match!

Hi, I'm Cody! I'm a 3-month-old grey tabby who came to TAPS from Fulton County Humane Society with my two siblings. We are quite the trio--wrestlers, high jumpers, investigators, and professional toy chasers! We are so much fun!! We may be small, but we have big personalities and when we finally run out of kitten fuel, we are sweet little cuddle bugs who show off their big purrs. If you're looking for a forever sidekick who will make you laugh, keep you company and fill your life with happy kitten energy and love, look no further. Fill out an online application so you can come meet us!!

Story
Hi, I'm Magenta. I'm a 2-year-old brown and white tabby girl. My journey started with being abandoned and taken to PCAPS, which was scary for a quiet girl like me. Thankfully, I was given a fresh start when I transferred to TAPS. I'm the gentle type. The laid-back observer. The calm presence in the room. You'll often find me cuddled up with a kitten friend in the open cat room, understanding that they need comfort. I do well with other cats--I'm respectful and peaceful. I'm sweet in a quiet way. I don't demand attention, but if you sit beside me and offer a soft pet, I'll melt into it. I love calm affection, cozy naps, and simply being near someone who cares. If you're looking for a gentle, easygoing companion to bring you joy, please fill out an application today to meet me!

Story
Hi, I'm Tinley! I'm a 1-year-old black beauty with a playful spark and a soft heart. I was picked up as a stray and taken to PCAPS, but sadly, never reclaimed. It was a confusing time for me, but I stayed brave and soon after, I was transferred to TAPS! I'm a girl who enjoys batting at dangling toys and chasing jingle balls across the floor. Playtime is one of my favorite things, but I also really enjoy pets and being with my people. I get along with other cats too, so I wouldn't mind having a feline friend to share toys and sunny spots with. I'm a young, playful, sweet and affectionate girl who is ready for a forever home where I can be safe and loved! If you think I might be the girl for you, please fill out an online application today!!
