Story
This is my fur son Freddie and I rescued him when he was 3. Hes been having the worst time in my small 2bed apartment with two boys (one being autistic) and the other adhd 4yr old. Hes great with kids if they are calm and relaxed. He loves to give nose kisses. Hes on gabapenten daily for his high strung anxiety. He deserves to retire in a calmimg home, he likes a yard fenced in our to be let out sometimes (he would usually sit with me under my chair while I read) great kitty for older people. I hate to see him struggle and hes been marking with blood. I took him to a great vet in my location 3 times to make sure we checked everything. I've tried making changes at home as well that hasn't worked. I love him so much and hate to see him like this. Thank u.

Story
Churu is estimated to be about 8 months old. She was abandoned or has lost her family. We have been posting about her for weeks, but nobody has claimed her. We took her to the vet to be disease tested and checked for a chip, and she is negative for FeLV, FIV, and heartworm, and no microchip was found. We just had her spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped on Dec. 5th. She will remain with us until she fully recovers from surgery but will be ready to go to her forever home before Christmas! She is a very sweet young kitty who likes to be snuggled and pet, and LOVES belly rubs. She plays with toys, but is more interested in snuggles and likes to be where she can see you. She still has a baby voice so her meows are absolutely adorable. She uses the litter box without any issues and seems to be perfectly healthy! She was flea treated with Catego on Nov. 24th. Please consider giving this very sweet kitty a loving INDOOR ONLY home. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Story
Meet Daisy, a charming 2-year-old cat ready to fill your home with affection and playful energy! This loving girl enjoys nothing more than cuddles and attention, making her the perfect companion for cozy nights in. Daisy has a medium energy level, enjoying a balance of playtime and relaxation. Her favorite activities include chasing spring toys, batting at wand toys, and pouncing on the elusive laser pointer. After a fun play session, she loves lounging and being pet. Daisy also enjoys stepping outside for a bit in the garden. While she's generally relaxed, she does have her occasional zoomies! Daisy can be a bit vocal and is known for giving the occasional "stink eye," but her facial expressions are always entertaining. She's been around other cats and children but hasn't been exposed to dogs. She would do best in a home with moderate activity where she can be the center of attention. Ready to welcome this affectionate feline into your life? Please consider visiting shelbycats.com/adopt to begin the application process!

Story
Say hello to Buddy! Easygoing and Friendly are two words that perfectly describe him. Back in 2019, Buddy was fostered by his current foster mom. He was surrendered back to AOSC through no fault of his own and was adopted. No fault of his own was surrendered a second time in 2024-- he would love to find his FUREVER home. His foster mom has this to say about him: "Before coming back to me as a foster, Buddy was up for adoption at an adoption center, but was terrified at that particular adoption location. As soon as I brought him home, he has been nothing but sweet and affectionate! It has been fun fostering a previous foster of mine! Buddy loves human attention and loves to rub against your legs and be petted. He wants to be wherever YOU are! His foster home has 2 adult cats and he gets along with them very well. His last home he also got along with the other adult cat in the home. Buddy is curious and loves to sit and stare out the window. He LOVES Catnip and his favorite treats are Catnip Temptations! As a matter of fact, his favorite toys are filled with Catnip too! Buddy is a Good-Natured fellow who prefers to keep his space clean, including no bad litter box habits. This Handsome, Affectionate boy will be a great addition to a new family, and hopefully find the forever family that he deserves! Buddy is currently in a foster home. If you feel like he would be the perfect fit for your family, please consider visiting shelbycats.com/adopt to begin the application process!

Story
Meet Cloud Creek, a handsome 5-month-old kitten seeking a patient and loving adopter. Initially hesitant after being trapped and neutered, Cloud Creek has blossomed in his foster home. While he may startle easily with sudden movements, he's learning to trust and enjoy human companionship. Cloud Creek has gone from hiding under the bed to snuggling with his foster mom at night, even sharing the blankets with small dogs! String toys capture his attention, and he'll reward gentle pets with an intense purr. He's been around cats and dogs and seems adaptable, though he may need extra time to fully adjust. Cloud Creek needs a "zen garden" environment to start, but as he gains confidence, he may enjoy a more stimulating home. He's reserved but will head-butt your hand if you're patient. Once held firmly, he loves to be cuddled—his foster mom even carries him around in her zippered sweatshirt! With time and understanding, Cloud Creek will mature into a sweet and affectionate companion. Consider visiting shelbycats.com/adopt to begin the application process!
