Story
4 year old cat food adoption Rico is a sweet snuggly boy, but has started peeing all over the house. He was my neighbors cat that we took in about 6 months ago because her other cat kept attacking him. He's fixed, and front declawed. He does NOT like dogs (has peed on all the dog beds even though my dog is gentle and sweet with him) and needs a home with older kids NOT toddlers. I honestly HATE giving him up, but even the vet I took him to said he's healthy no UTI, but suffers from anxiety in my house. I can't make it less chaos because I have 3 kids under 6. He would do best in a home with no other pets, but might be ok with other cats. I just can't live with cat pee covering my house. Please someone who works from home take him, he really is the sweetest cat, he naps with me all the time and always snuggles with me while I watch TV. Would come with toys and bed and cat food

Story
Meet our 3‑year‑old female cat Hazel, a gentle soul who had a rough start in life after being abandoned as a tiny kitten. She’s grown into a loving, curious girl who enjoys rubbing on new adult visitors and choosing her own moments to be social. She loves to sit nearby, relax in sunny spots, and be part of the room on her own terms.She would thrive in a calm home with no children and no other pets. She becomes overwhelmed by toddlers and other animals, and she needs a peaceful environment where she can feel safe and confident. She’s touch‑sensitive, so she prefers affection she initiates herself and will let you know when she’s had enough.She’s healthy, litter‑trained, spayed, and has excellent house manners. She just needs the right match — someone patient, gentle, and understanding of a cat who didn’t get the best start in life but has so much potential in the right home.If you’re looking for a quiet companion who will bond deeply once she feels secure, she may be the perfect fit.

Story
Edward is around 4 years old and is a very sweet cat but has a ongoing problem of marking in the house. We've tried everything from medication to pheromone diffusers to help with this problem but he continues to do it. I think he may be better off as an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat as he used to be a stray before he was rescued and we adopted him.

Story
Hello, my name is Donatello (dob around 1/24/24)  and I'm searching for my forever home. I have been through quite a lot but i have been able to navigate the obstacles with the help of love and tons of patience.  Foster Momma says I'm the cutest, most sophisticated kitty she knows.  I love to lay on my high shelves and look down on all my subordinates.  Even though I am now able to tolerate love from my humans, please don't be surprised if I decided you are not worthy of my attention and immediately ask you to stop.  I will do best in an adult only home and with the right introduction, I would do ok with other gentle cats because even though I'm a big guy, I don't like confrontation.  I also trust women faster than men so if you are going to apply for being my wingman, just know, I'll need a lot of patience from you.  I have many quirks so please make sure to speak to my foster Momma so that she can tell you all about them.  I had a traumatic start, and I was in rough condition when I was first rescued and had to have surgery to remove my tail as well as tons of nurturing to learn how to trust again, so please only commit yourself if you are planning to always include me in your life.  I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, and have a microchip.  I also have an amputated tail due to the severe trauma done to it.  My adoption fee is $150.  If you are that pet parent for me, please fill out an application at www.furangelsas.com and my foster parents and I will review your application together.  March 7, 2026, 12:25 pm

Story
Jenny came to us a few months ago as a young kitten with her mother. Now, she is about 6 months old and the only kitten left unadopted. Jenny is a sweet, but shy girl. It takes a bit for her to get comfortable with you but once she does she just loves to cuddle. Jenny rarely ever meows and when she does it’s very quiet. Even as a young kitten she does not get too crazy and spends most her time following her mom around.

Story
This is ash and shade! They are a bonded pair! I adopted them about 4 or 5 years ago. They are 14 years old but are still young at heart. Ash is very flirty and confident and loves being with you. Shade is a little more shy but once he bonds with you, he’ll be inseparable from you. I love them so much and want to find a loving home for them. I unfortunately am going through a difficult time in my life and I will have to be moving with my 3 children and I can’t bring them with me which breaks our hearts.
