Story

Hello, my name is Water Chestnut. Yes, like the crunchy little veggie. I may be small, but I’ve got layers. I wasn’t born into an easy life. I came from a farm and was born to a feral mama, which meant people felt pretty big and scary at first. When I arrived, I wasn’t so sure about this whole “human friendship” thing. But guess what? I’ve been learning. And wow… have I come a long way. These days, I’ve discovered something wonderful: being loved is actually pretty amazing. I’ve learned that gentle hands can mean chin scratches, cozy naps, and those magical squeeze treats that I take very, very seriously. If you bring snacks, we are already off to a strong start. I’m still a sensitive girl at heart, though. Big changes and busy homes can feel overwhelming for me, so I’m hoping to find a quiet home with patient people who understand that trust is something special that grows over time. I promise, I’m worth the wait. There is one little thing you should know about me. I was born with a slight birth defect affecting my ribcage. It doesn’t stop me from being a happy kitty, but our support team would be happy to explain more and answer any questions you have. Mostly, I’m just a sweet young tabby girl looking for someone who sees how brave I’ve been and is ready to help me keep blooming. Could that be you?

Story

Chuckie is such a sweet gentle boy who wants love so much but is very shy. He’s working hard on building his confidence in his foster home but he still gets overwhelmed easily, so his ideal home is calm and quiet with lots of patience. He likes to observe from under the furniture and come out to get attention and play when it’s quiet. He loves people even though he’s nervous about the world, so he’s not the type to hide until no one’s around, he just usually prefers when they’re staying still instead of walking around. Then when everything is calm, he comes when called, pops out asking for treats and pets, begs you to scratch his face until he drools, curls up at your feet making biscuits, and gets the zoomies and runs laps playing around you. He’s slowly getting more comfortable jumping up on the couch with you too, but he’s still working on that one. He gets along with other cats, but a good personality fit is important because this sweet timid boy doesn’t know how to stand up for himself and does best with cats who don’t take advantage of that. He’s easily intimidated and stressed by grumpy cats, but does great with fellow nervous cats and more laidback ones. He’s also good friends with a very outgoing cat in his foster home who has helped him come out of his shell and they love to play together, but Chuckie can get a bit overwhelmed by his friend’s confidence and sometimes will let himself get pushed aside for attention and treats. He's also food motivated and especially loves tube treats, so he usually gets extra brave for those no matter what. Chuckie is the sweetest gentlest lovebug and is looking for someone quiet and patient who’s willing to earn his trust and keep building his confidence. He bonds deeply with his people and will thrive in a calm home that helps him come out of his shell and show his sweet silly self. Email adoptions@savedbyzade.com

Story

## Traveling Onyxia Traveling Onyxia’s story is one of survival, courage, and an incredible little spirit that refused to give up. When Onyxia came to Saved by Zade, she was in very bad shape after being attacked by a dog. She was hurting, frightened, and had every reason not to trust the people around her. But somehow, she knew. She knew the hands helping her were there to save her. Even through the pain, Onyxia purred. She rubbed her head into our volunteers’ hands as they cared for her. And while the doctor worked to save her, this tiny survivor made biscuits right there on her arm. ❤️ Onyxia has healed from her physical wounds, but her greatest story is the strength she showed along the way. Now she is ready for the next chapter, one where she never has to wonder if she is safe again. Estimated to be just under a year old, Traveling Onyxia is looking for someone who will promise to be her guardian, her safe place, and her forever family. Will you be the person who makes sure this little survivor is protected and loved for the rest of her life? Email adoptions@savedbyzade.

Story

Meet Cricket. ❤️ Cricket is a very confident, very playful girl who has absolutely no problem deciding that your home is actually HER home. Give her about five minutes and she’ll be settled in like she’s been paying the mortgage. 😂 Cricket loves food. Cricket loves playing. And Cricket is VERY SOLID. Don’t let her size fool you, though. This girl can launch herself several feet into the air to catch a wand toy with the enthusiasm of a much smaller kitty. The landing? Well… let’s just say the floor may shake a little. 😂😂 Cricket is basically a lovable little tank with a playful heart, and she is ready to move into HER new home. Think you might have room for this confident girl in your life? 🐾❤️ Email adoptions@savedbyzade.com

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Chips Ridges, aka Chipperoni or Little Buddy, has really come out of his shell in foster care. He’s comfortable, happy, growing fast, and very serious about mealtime—canned food, dry food, Churrus… yes, please. Spring toys are his current obsession. He carries them around while muttering under his breath, apparently hoping his foster sister won’t notice and steal them. Wand toys are another favorite. And because he is still a kitten and therefore makes questionable life choices, he also enjoys rolling around in the litter box. Chips can still be a little wary of new people, but he’s been meeting human visitors and warming up much more quickly. Once he decides you’re safe, he loves pets and turns on his little purr motor nonstop. He’s a sweet, funny little guy who is getting braver by the day. Email adoptions@savedbyzade.com

Story

🐾 WELCOME HOME! 🐾 Bringing Your New Kitty Home: What to Expect Thank you for adopting and giving this kitty a second chance! Here’s what you need to know for a smooth transition: 🛏 Start Small Set your cat up in one quiet room with a litter box, food, water, and a hiding spot (like a covered bed or cardboard box). Let them explore slowly and on their terms. ⏳ Give Time Even the friendliest cats may be shy at first. Expect 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to settle in, and up to 3 months to fully adjust. Be patient—they're learning to trust! It’s normal for cats to hide for the first 24–72 hours. Adult cats, especially, may take even longer to feel safe. As long as they’re eating, drinking, and using the litter box, hiding is okay! 🍽 Feed & Hydrate Keep food and water dishes in a quiet, accessible spot. Follow any diet info provided. Monitor eating, drinking, and litter box habits the first few days. 🚽 Litter Box Basics Show them where the box is right away. Keep it clean and use unscented, clumping litter unless otherwise noted. 🐱 Interactions Let your cat come to you. Avoid loud noises or too much handling early on. Use gentle voices and slow blinks to build trust. 🐕 Introducing to Other Pets? Slow and steady wins the race! Keep your new kitty separated at first and take your time with introductions. 🧸 Playtime & Enrichment Interactive toys, scratching posts, and window views help relieve stress and build confidence.
