Story
TJ and her brother had been hanging out in West Village, desperately wanting to come inside for months. A man who was feeding them brought them to us because they were not fixed and not getting the veterinary care that they needed. TJ's brother was adopted months ago. TJ, on the other hand has a heart murmur. After an echocardiogram it was determined she needed medication to help her heart. She was recently spayed and is now 100% back to being the sweet angel she is. She will be on medication for her lifetime! She will also need bi-annual appointments with her cardiologist.  She enjoys looking out the window sill, purring in your lap and retreating into cozies just to be near you. She doesn't use her claws, but also isn't afraid to grab your hand and give it an affectionate nibble to say: 'I love you,' or 'Play with me.' This very spoiled girl also isn't afraid to use her voice either to get what she wants most - your attention.  TJ would do best in a calm environment due to her heart. She scares easily and hide to calm down, so rambunctiousness is best avoided. She may do well with other cats as long as they are calm by nature. We don't know how she does with dogs, she will be fine with gentle children. ##2571525##

Story
Pepito – The Little Shadow with a Big Heart Pepito is a 4-month-old white and tabby sweetheart whose rescue story began in the same community colony as his beloved buddy, Shallot. When FCS volunteers recently set out to help the cats in that colony through a TNR effort, they quickly realized something special about this tiny guy — Pepito wasn’t meant for life on the streets. Instead of running away, this little kitten showed his soft, affectionate side. And it quickly became clear that wherever Shallot goes… Pepito isn’t far behind. Pepito absolutely adores his “big brother” Shallot and looks to him for confidence and reassurance. Their bond is incredibly sweet — Pepito shadows him like a little apprentice, while also bringing out Shallot’s playful side in the cutest way. Watching them together is like seeing a tiny best-friend duo learning how wonderful indoor life can be. In foster care, Pepito has been discovering all the joys of kittenhood. He loves chasing the laser pointer, pouncing on wand toys, and happily interacting with other kitties. When playtime winds down, this affectionate boy makes it clear he prefers company — his foster mom says Pepito longs for you when you leave and is always excited when his people return. Because Pepito spent his early life competing for meals outside, he can still be a little food-protective and a bit skittish at times. But with patience, routine, and the reassurance of a safe home, he’s already showing how much love he has to give. Pepito would thrive in a home with another friendly cat, and of course his dream would be to stay with his buddy Shallot — the cat who helped him feel brave enough to leave the street life behind. This sweet, sensitive little boy is learning every day that people can be kind, homes can be warm, and toys can be endless. We would love if Pepito and Shallot stayed together but understand that is a big ask.  ##2672109##

Story
Three years ago, we found Goldy wandering around our yard. He was very skinny, and looked to be a young, not full grown cat. We fed him and he quickly attached to us. He is very friendly and affectionate. When no one in the neighborhood claimed him, we took him in. I am very attached to Goldy. He is also very attached to my wife. He is a fun, active cat. Very playful and gentle. Unfortunately we have to move into senior housing due to health problems. We can only take two cats and we are taking our two older cats. We feel that Goldy is more likely to attract someone looking for a cat. He is a wonderful cat and we will miss him terribly, but we have no choice but to put him up for adoption. I know whoever adopts him will love him as much as we do. One note. Goldy hasn’t fit in with our older cats. He is very active and playful. They are old and grouchy toward young cats. I suspect he would be fine with younger cats.

Story
Hummus Female DSH brown tabby Estimated age: 6.5 months Her foster says she is very similar in personality to her sister Falafel. They are very sweet. They love attention but they’re not quite as pushy as their brothers. They’re also talkers. Their favorite things are sleeping on the bed and laser pointers. They also love other cats. They haven't fully come out of their shells, but they are almost there! Her foster took her and her 4 siblings in when they were a few months old. They were outside kittens that someone had been looking after. Location: In foster Medical: All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines (rabies and distemper), microchipped, given flea/tick prevention and dewormer, FIV/FeLV tested, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.
