Story
Hello, I'm Zeke. I am what the internet would call a very smol boi. I'm 2 years old, and weigh only 3 lbs. I am looking for a quiet household where I can feel safe and relaxed. I can be quite shy with new people and surroundings (again, I am small-- everything is giant and scary), but I'm very sweet once I have time to get acquainted. I am quite talkative and will meow and purr to you all day! I enjoy cheek rubs, back scratches, and catnip stuffies. my foster says "Zeke is a very sweet, attention craving and skittish little boy. If it were up to him you would be petting him every hour of everyday. He loves to just be around and see what it is going on, but at the drop of a hat (literally) he will run away and hide. He also enjoys playing with string toys and is not too big on mice. He is very good at using the litterbox and is also not aggressive in the slightest. The only time he has bitten has been a loving bite when you stop petting him. All in all Zeke is a great cat and would thrive in a calm environment with loving parents."

Story
Squeaks is reserved but SUCH a sweet girl. It takes a few days for her to warm up to you, but once she does she is a huge fan of chin scratches and soft brushes. A loud purr and a head butt will let you know you’ve met a great cuddly companion; and if you’re especially lucky you’ll hear a squeak or two- just as her name suggests! She has been doing great with the litter box, and would be a great cat for someone who wants a chill and cuddly friend.

Story
Hello, I'm Muriel! I'm a somewhat shy girl but with an incredibly sweet and loving disposition. I was brought to CMHS after spending a couple of hard years outside- having to not only fend for myself, but for multiple litters of kittens. I had to be cautious, and those survival habits don't disappear overnight. However, I warm up quickly to new friends! A few soft spoken words and some gentle strokes to my cheeks is all it takes for me to melt into your hands and ask for all of the love. I get excited to see my trusted friends when they visit, and will meow softly to them. I haven't been overly playful while at the shelter, but show interest in catnip stuffies.

Story
Hello my name is Platinum! I am a fierce momma, loving momma, and definitely a beauty! I absolutely love to get pets and snuggles and spend my time in the window checking out the world! I can be a bit shy when I meet new people or new places but don’t worry as soon as I know I’m safe then I’m great! And I do truely love to play..more than my babies?…maybe. I could probably enjoy a furry friend too if given a chance to adapt to a new environment first.

Story
Hi, I'm Nicolaj! I'm a playful boy with a very loving and affectionate side. I am always happy to spend time with my people-- I love to be pet, scritched, and generally just be close to them-- purring and kneading my paws whenever they're with me. I also have a keen interest in any and all toys, and would especially enjoy interactive playtime with a family. I did well with the children in my last home, and was fine with the dog (provided he wasn't trying to rough-house with me). I did have some struggles with the other male cats in the home, but I had only just recently been brought indoors and neutered-- now that my hormones are more in check, I might do better after a proper slow introduction.
