Story
Hello, humans! My name is Keiko, and I'm here to share my story with you. You see, I'm not your typical cuddly, affectionate feline. Nope, I'm what some might call an independent spirit, packaged in the beautiful body of a tuxedo cat.    I've had a bit of a rough start in life, and it's left me a tad wary of people. Before I came to live with my foster parent, I had terrible dental disease, and I had to have all my teeth removed. I’m still a great eater, enjoying hard and soft food.  Being outdoors is off limits to me, as it’s not safe for me without my teeth to help protect me. Which doesn’t bother me at all, as I like being indoors.I love playing with my toys, but I don’t really enjoy playing with humans.  I like being in the same room with my foster, occasionally granting her permission to pet me, but I am not a lap kitty.  I do enjoy an occasional brushing on my belly, though. Deep down, I'm just a misunderstood kitty looking for a place to call home. I may not come running to greet you at the door with purrs and headbutts, but give me time, and you'll see there's a whole lot more to me than meets the eye. I’m searching for a patient, understanding cat lover who is willing to respect my independence, and love me anyway! I think I’ll thrive in a quiet, all adult home, where I’m the only non-human. If you think we might be right for each other, please contact PAW at cat-coordinator@paw-rescue.com ##1849327##

Story
Batman is a stunning black male cat, who was born in July 2022.  He came to us in the Summer of 2023 as a one year old, and he is now ready for his furr-ever home!! He has been living in a loving foster home since that time, which he shares with other cats and dogs.He loves being petted on his head, under his chin and he delights in ear scratches, but his back and belly are off limits!  This is a young fella' who knows his boundaries, and he will let you know too. He can be a lovable young gent, but he does not like getting overstimulated.Therefore, it’s  thought he will live his best life in an environment where he will be the only four legged creature.  A quiet all adult home without children is recommended, as he seems to enjoy a calm environment.He is up to date on all his veterinary care and vaccinations, and he is neutered.Are you ready to open your home to Batman and give him a chance?  If so, please contact PAW @ cat-coordinator@paw-rescue.org ##1849095##

Story
Rita is an energetic and playful girl about 1.5 years old. She was found underweight and pregnant on the streets last summer and a few months later became mom to 3 healthy kittens. Although she did a great job taking care of her babies Rita is glad she has been spayed and will not be having any more litters. After some TLC this gorgeous little girl is ready to find her forever home. She loves being an indoor cat but does not love other animals and needs to be an only pet. Rita enjoys playing with her feather wand, chasing balls, watching birds, and cuddling up next to her humans. If you have any questions or are interested in adopting Rita please send me a message!
