Story
Meet Emerald — A Shy Sweetheart Who Shines with Kitty Friends Emerald is a shy but sweet, playful kitty looking for a quiet, indoor-only home where she can feel safe, supported, and move at her own pace. While she doesn’t need to be adopted with another specific cat, having other friendly, social cats in the home is a MUST—Emerald truly blossoms with feline companionship and gains confidence from her kitty friends.She does well with respectful teens who understand patience and gentle interactions. Her experience with dogs is unknown, so a calm, dog-free home (or extremely slow, careful introductions) would be best for her comfort. With time, patience, and the right environment, Emerald’s gentle personality sparkles brighter every day.Emerald’s Comfort Checklist:Plenty of comfy hiding spots and cozy nap zonesCat trees & scratching posts for climbing and confidence-buildingWindow perches for peaceful bird-watchingTONS of toys, especially interactive toys and catnipFavorite Things:Treats, wet food, catnip, gentle playtime, and relaxing near her kitty friendsIf your home has friendly resident cats and room for a shy gem to shine, Emerald may be the perfect addition to your family.Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet`s behavior in your home.

Story
Meet Crush — A Laid-Back Little Dude Learning to Go with the Flow Just like his Finding Nemo namesake, Crush is all about slow currents and calm vibes—with a shy twist. He’s a super shy but very sweet kitty who’s looking for a quiet, indoor-only home where everything moves at his pace and patience is part of the daily routine.Crush may be okay with quiet teens who respect boundaries, and one thing is totally non-negotiable: other friendly cats are a MUST HAVE. Having feline “current riders” around helps him feel safe and confident as he settles in. He’s unsure about dogs, so a peaceful, bark-free reef is best. Crush will need lots of extra time to adjust and get to know his new family, but once he does, his gentle, loving nature floats right to the surface.Crush’s Perfect Reef Setup:Plenty of cozy hiding and napping spots (turtle-approved chill zones!)Cat trees, scratching posts, and window perches for relaxed exploringTons of toys, especially interactive and catnip-filled onesFavorite Things:Treats, wet food, catnip, and calm reassuranceIf your home already has friendly feline companions and you believe in going with the flow and just keep swimming, Crush is ready to drift into his forever home.Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet`s behavior in your home.
