Story
Seeking a new home for my 8 year old cat Sandy. I adopted her in 2020 during the start of the pandemic when I had a lot more free time, but recent life choices and circumstances have left me without the energy or finances to properly care for her. I am seeking EXPERIENCED cat owners only, as Sandy is without a doubt the clingiest cat you will ever know. When you are in her circle of trust, you will never be out of her sight for long, and she is very vocal! She is incredibly loving at all moments, occasionally rough with her headbutts but its always affectionate. Very playful, loves laser pointers and cardboard boxes! I really hope to find her a home where her affectionate and clingy nature can be cherished and supported. If you cannot handle that sort of pet, please do not reach out. Thank you for your time.

Story
Rikki has been patiently waiting for her forever home for over a year… but she`s not going to settle until just the right match comes along. She’s a lady who knows what she wants and isn’t shy about sharing her opinions. Rikki has plenty to say and even more love to give. During a short stay in foster care with one of our staff members, Rikki truly let her big personality shine outside of the shelter environment. She’s a chatty girl who loves to “talk” about her day, make plenty of biscuits, and curl up for cozy cuddle sessions. At the shelter, offering her a churro treat is the quickest way to convince her you’re her new best friend.Our medical team has been managing Rikki’s IBS with a prescription diet and medications, and she’s doing well with that routine- she`ll need an adopter who`s comfortable with this daily regiment. The good news is that she takes her meds like a total champ—just tuck them into a treat and she’s so excited she doesn’t even notice. To keep her prescriptions going, she’ll need to have a veterinary relationship established at the time of adoption. Rikki would prefer to be the only cat in the home so she can soak up all the attention she deserves. She may be able to warm up to a dog who understands cat etiquette, and she requested that any children in her new home be able to respect her boundaries (yes—she told us that herself).If you’re looking for a true companion who will fill your days with warmth, purrs, and entertainment, Rikki is ready to claim your lap — and your heart.

Story
Hello, I'm Charlie. I'm a little one, still learning about the world. I'm a gentle soul, preferring quiet corners to boisterous play. I might be a bit shy when we first meet, but give me time. I'll soon be curling up next to you, purring softly. I enjoy my own company, but I also crave the warmth of a friend. I'm sweet, with a quiet kind of love that grows over time. My independence means I won't demand your attention all the time, but I'll always be there when you need me. Adopting me means gaining a mellow, loving companion who will be by your side, through the calm and chaos of life.

Story
Hello, I'm Cynthia. I may be an adult, but I've got the heart of a kitten. I cherish my independence, yet I've got a sweet side that longs for a companion. I'm loyal to a fault, always there when you need a friend. I'm friendly and smart, but don't worry, I won't outsmart you! I'm mellow and gentle, preferring quiet moments over loud noises. I'm brave, but not reckless. I love to be pet, it's my favorite pastime. Why should you adopt me? Because I'm not just a cat, I'm a friend, a confidante, a companion. I promise to fill your life with purrs and unconditional love.
