Story
Our little Munchkin - aka Lunchbox - is ready to find his forever home! For those who haven't been following Munchkin’s story, here is a quick recap to get you up to speed: Munchkin joined RCHS last September as a very sick 6 month old boy. After his arrival, we quickly confirmed that he has the rare condition of congenital hypothyroidism. We soon learned he also has a heart abnormality and malformed hips. His hypothyroidism is now well controlled with medication and he is also on medication to slow down any development of secondary heart disease. His malformed hips required bilateral FHOs (femoral head ostectomy), which he received in March. Through it all, this sweet boy has been a bundle of love and cuddles and he's now ready to be adopted! This handsome guy may greet you with a little grumpy face at first, but don’t be fooled, it’s all part of his charm! Give him a little time and patience, and you’ll see his true personality shine! He is a sweet love bug who loves to play! He’s currently still on the mend from his surgery and doing better every day. Lately, he’s been showing off by jumping onto surfaces and zooming around to chase his housemates. It’s been amazing to watch his confidence (and energy!) come back. When he’s not practicing his parkour skills, he’s all about cozy time. He loves snuggling up in bed and will happily keep your pillow warm while you’re gone. He’d thrive with a playful cat buddy who enjoys chasing and wrestling, but he’d also be perfectly content as your one-and-only, soaking up all the love and attention. He is okay with respectful dogs as well! If you’re looking for a cat who starts a little spicy but turns into a total softie, Lunchbox might just be your perfect match! All kitties go to their new homes spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Story
Hello! We are Nemo and Dory, the best duo of troublemakers you’ll ever love! As sisters, we love each other, but we don’t always LIKE each other. Also, while we love the countertops, our foster mama is teaching us not to jump, such a buzz kill! When we’re not causing mischief, we love cuddling with people - you can find us most of the time on your lap asking for some love. Give us a chance and you’ll have not just one, but two hearts that belong to you! We came to RCHS together, when Dory wasn't feeling great and Nemo had an injured leg that required an amputation. Dory's feeling great now, and Nemo doesn’t mind a bit that she's now a tripod! We're happy, friendly girls who are looking for a home where we can stay together. - Dory is the more confident of the two and helps Nemo to know she is safe. They sleep and play together, often opt to share a food bowl, and groom each other, providing you with ample opportunities to soak up the cuteness that bonded cats bring to the table. Dory has introduced herself to the dog and other cat in her foster home and gets along with everyone. Nemo is still hesitant with the other animals, but would likely adjust to other furry friends as long as they allow her time to get comfortable - All kitties go to their new homes spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Story
*Courtesy Post Could you give Charlie a chance? This sweet - and oh-so-handsome - boy turned up at a colony caretaker's feeding station earlier this year. Charlie clearly had a home once, and deserves a chance to find one again. From his caretaker: According to the vet, he is about a year old. He showed up at one of our feeding locations in January. In the beginning, he was so scared, he would sprint away as soon as he heard us coming. But then one day, in early February, he just stopped running and came up to me and let me pet him. That’s all it took! He waits for us every morning and evening. He sleeps in one of our cat huts every night. So far, he is friendly with everyone he has come into contact with, even kids. He loves belly rubs and attention in general. He can be picked up for short amounts of time and will sit on your lap for pets. He is neutered and has his rabies shot. We have no idea how he would do in a home or with other pets. But, if someone would take a chance on him, I think he would be a great pet! *Courtesy posting is a service RCHS provides to our community members who need to rehome an animal. This animal is not with RCHS and all information is provided by the animal's current guardian.

Story
🧡 Meet our resident orange queen, Jovie! This young lady is full of personality and firmly believes that your business is her business. Once she settles in, she'll be right by your side — whether you're cooking dinner, folding laundry, working on your computer or taking a shower, she'll be supervising every step. She is incredibly affectionate and loves being near her people. She'll happily follow you from room to room, carry on full conversations, and make sure you're never lonely. If you're looking for a quiet cat, keep scrolling — this girl has stories to tell! One of her favorite hobbies is joining her humans in the bathroom. She's especially fascinated by showers and loves licking water droplets from the shower curtain. 😂 When it's time to play, her inner hunter comes out. Cat teasers are her absolute favorite, and she'll leap, chase, and pounce with impressive determination. She also has a soft spot for catnip and can never resist investigating a spider plant. She's great with dogs and has even started trying to play with her canine foster siblings. You'll often find her lounging nearby, enjoying their company while still maintaining her royal dignity. As for other cats? She'd much rather be the only feline in the kingdom. This girl likes being the queen of the castle and isn't interested in sharing her throne. With her unbelievably soft fur, playful spirit and larger-than-life personality, she's the kind of cat who quickly becomes the center of your home — and your heart! All kitties go to their new homes spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.
