Story
Meet Handsome 🐾 True to his name, Handsome is a strikingly beautiful boy with a gentle soul and a heart that’s just waiting to blossom. This sweet male kitty is looking for a calm, quiet home with a patient family who understands that some cats need a little extra time to feel safe and secure. Handsome may be shy at first, preferring to observe the world from a cozy hiding spot while he learns that he’s truly home. But with kindness, routine, and gentle encouragement, he begins to show his soft, affectionate side. Once he trusts you, you’ll see the tender, loving companion he was always meant to be. He would thrive in a peaceful environment without a lot of hustle and bustle—somewhere he can settle in at his own pace and build confidence day by day. A patient adopter who celebrates small victories (like a curious peek or a brave step closer) will be rewarded with the quiet joy of watching Handsome come out of his shell. If you believe that the deepest bonds are built on trust and time, Handsome may be your perfect match. Give this deserving boy the safe haven he’s been waiting for, and you’ll gain a devoted friend for life. 💙 Fill out a Match Me form online at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Cat All C.A.R.E rescue cats are vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested, spayed/neutered, current on parasite prevention and microchipped!

Story
Taco is about 2 years old and full of energy. She has had one litter of kittens (about 8 months ago) and is not currently spayed. She is fully litter trained. Taco has always had strong outdoor instincts and a very independent personality. She is playful and affectionate, but prefers attention on her own terms. While she gets along with other cats, her high energy and prey drive can be overwhelming for more laid-back cats. Because of this, we feel she would thrive in a home where she has more space to roam and a job to do — she would make an excellent barn cat or mouser. We care about her and want to find a home that better fits her natural personality and needs.

Story
Hi, my name is Osiris, and I'm looking for a new home. I would prefer to be an indoor-outdoor cat, or with someone who will play with me a lot. I am 12 years young, neutered, and I love to play and cuddle! I always like to know what's going on. If you like to play video games, I love to be your player 2. I love humans, kids, dogs (especially if they like to play and are my size), and I'm an excellent hunter. I would do really well in the country or with a family. I am litter box trained, but my preference is to go outside. Also, I'm a bit of a fashion icon and don't usually mind being dressed up. I'm also up-to-date on my shots and have no health issues! Can't be sick when you look this handsome 😉

Story
Meet VALENTINO - he is a sweet, but shy boy, who came to us after he was found dangling upside down caught up in a fence. VAENTINO is a little reserved with his love and slower to warm up but it's worth the wait! His BEST Friend is fellow tripod buddy, ARISTOTLE. This poor muffin was luckily picked up by a Good Samaritan in the storm after escaping some kind of attack and sadly had to lose his leg. He is a CUDDLE BUG who craves human attention. He's so incredibly sweet and loving. if you are looking for two handsome boys to fill your heart with love they would LOVE a home TOGETHER.

Story
Check out this sweet, special needs bonded pair! MARMALADE is a petite fella who was found all alone on the steps of a local bank - people went in and out for hours and he sat right there...watching and waiting...frozen in fear. He is looking for a calm home with his buddy COLONEL. 😻 COLONEL has a mild case of cellebellar hyperplasia as he is on the wobbly side. He came to us in need of a variety of assistance as a tiny thing and he even had FHO surgery on his hip. He has been learning to walk well again and is a fan favorite of the volunteers because he is the sweetest and most cuddly boy. ❤ He sure loves MARMALADE and together they take care of one another. IF you have a laid back, calm home on one story these boys may be just who you are looking for. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/edit/a.3248190108779294 WOW cats are fully vetted to age with a lifetime microchip.
