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
We adopted Pursie from the humane society in 2021, she is ~6 years old. She was rescued from a hoarding house before we adopted her. She is extremely sweet and loves to be pet. Most cats have a limit to how much petting they want, but Pursie does not! Once you start she will not let you stop. She is shy around strangers but will warm up to them. She gets along with other cats, especially if they are calm like she is but she does tolerate our other cat who is extremely playful. She is startled easily and likes to spend her day sleeping and lounging around. She does not dislike children, but tends hide to avoid my toddler. She would do well with an older child who understands her boundaries better.

Story
Henry is a goofy, playful, loving baby boy! Henry not even a year old; he was 8 weeks when we adopted him in October. He loves to play with his toy straws, fuzz balls, and stuffies. When Henry is not playing with his toys he’s sunbathing anywhere the sun rays touch! He loves to sit in the window and watch the outside (what a good protector!) Henry is neutered and declawed in the front; he still has his back claws. He would come with a litter box, food and water bowls, his favorite toys, and a collar.

Story
We adopted Peeve in 2020 as a kitten. He was found abandoned on the side of the road. He will be 6 in August. I would describe Peeve as curious, playful, vocal, intelligent, and friendly. He likes to lay on people and likes to be pet when sitting on your lap. He gets along with other cats, but likes to annoy them into chasing him around. He would do well with another playful cat. He has been introduced to a few dogs and is not scared of them. He is not shy around people and will greet whoever knocks on the door. He tolerates my toddler, but has hissed and swatted at other peoples’ kids. Unfortunately with our changing lifestyle we cannot give him the time and attention he deserves and needs.

Story
We found Churro outside our old apartment, early 2021. She is very loving and cuddly, but also likes her space sometimes. She loves making biscuits. We would love to find a loving home, as Churro has so much love to offer. She’s good with other cats, good with big dogs and kids. She’s carefree and harmless. We cannot afford to take her to the vet, as she pees on a lot of things, and we can’t take her to get her checked out. She mainly pees shoes that are left on the floor. We’ve just gone through so many things where her pee smell will not come out and she does not stop, no matter what we do or what home remedy we give her. She deserves a better life with vet care. That’s where you can come in and help her ❤️
