Story
I am Moonbeam a quiet settled guy of 10+ yrs. I tend to lay low during the day and am more active in the evening especially dinner time. I was shy when I first arrived at my foster home which includes 3 other cats from young to older than me. I'm not a huggy kissy guy - ew! but I will come for regular pets and visits, I'm being treated for my thyroid which is not unusual at my age. I take my liquid meds fine with my meal. I'm happy with Fancy Feast Turkey flavors and little dry food too. I'd best in a quiet house, where I can settle in to my routine and not be started by loud noise.. Older kids and other cats are fine as long as they are kind and can give me a bit pf space.

Story
Karina was living in a DPW parking lot. This poor baby had three litters of kittens outside, before PAWS could rescue her. She's extremely shy, but now, after a year, enjoys sitting near her loving foster mom, when she works from home. That's encouraging progress! Her best home will be with an experienced cat owner in a quiet home without other pets or children.

Story
We are Bailey and Remy two huge bonded tuxedo boys of 10 who must be adopted together. We were surrendered when our owner's health started to decline. We are the friendliest easiest going pair of pals you could hope to find. We are residing at the Kitty Cat Cafe (https://www.kittycatcafema.com/). We will greet you at the door and luxuriate in all the pampering and attention we get here. We just lay on the cat tower and people line up to give us kitty massages. Please note we have been diabetic for several years and need to get insulin twice a day at set times. Our glucose levels have been stable and now we are focusing on our weight reduction plan. We both started out around 20 pounds so there is work to be done! We're pretty low key so kitty calisthenics hasn't been a key approach. A managed diet is helping. We are just a super pair of guys.

Story
Introducing Muggle, a lively and affectionate guy just under a year old. Originally slated to be a sidekick, I've outgrown those britches and am ready to be the solo star of your home. Affectionate and a tad wild, I'm up for solo play or teaming up with you to play fetch with my favorite toy mice. After a whirlwind of fun, I'll curl up for some one-on-one snuggle time. Although I am very sweet, I am best suited for a home with an experienced cat owner who is around a lot and who has no other pets and no young children.
