Story
Meet Chaps! 🐾🧡 Chaps is a handsome white and brown-gray tabby with the most striking orange-tinged eyes that seem to glow against his soft coat. This sweet boy has a gentle spirit and a quiet nature that makes him truly special. Chaps can be very shy at first and prefers to take his time getting to know new people and surroundings. He’s the kind of cat who appreciates having his space and a calm environment, where he can feel safe and comfortable. Once he settles in, his sweet personality begins to shine through in his own quiet way. Chaps is looking for a peaceful, patient home where he can move at his own pace and be loved for the sensitive, thoughtful kitty he is. A quiet household where he can relax, observe, and slowly build trust would be the perfect match for him. If you have a calm home and a gentle heart for a shy cat who just needs a little understanding, Chaps may be the perfect companion for you. 🐾🧡 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
Meet Thomas James – Your Lovable Lionheart! 🧡 Thomas James is a stunning 5-year-old orange tabby with a heart as golden as his coat. Weighing in at a solid 15 pounds, this big, beautiful boy is all about love, lounging, and cozy companionship. He’s soooo sweet and affectionate—he’ll lean into your touch and give gentle love bites when he’s feeling especially affectionate. One of his favorite pastimes? Perching up high on a cat tree like the king he is, surveying his kingdom—or sprawling out for a good nap in the sun. He’s a chill guy who loves to relax but will happily come down for cuddles and attention. Because he sometimes expresses his affection with enthusiastic love bites, Thomas James would do best in a home without small children. He’s not aggressive—just a big sweetheart who doesn't always know his strength. He’s also FIV positive, which just means he should be kept indoors and live a low-stress lifestyle. FIV+ cats can live long, happy lives—and Thomas James is ready to spend his with you. If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly, and charming cat who brings a warm, regal presence to your home, Thomas James is your guy. Come meet this orange dreamboat—you’ll fall in love instantly. 🧡 You can meet Thomas James and all of his friends at the C.A.R.E. Adoption Center 7 days a week 11-7 at 1328 W. Sunshine St. in Springfield. Fill out an adoption application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Cat All C.A.R.E rescue kitties are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, up to date on flea/tick prevention, and given a general dewormer!

Story
Meet Toothless — part fearless explorer, part professional cuddle bug. This brave little guy came to us scared and aggressive. He might be timid at first, but a treat will win him over. Once out of his shell, he believes every corner of the house hides a new adventure, and he’s determined to investigate them all. Despite his daring spirit, Toothless has a soft side. He absolutely loves being held and climbing all over you. Aside from treats, his favorite form of payment is butt scratches. Give him a few good scratches and you’ll instantly unlock his purr motor at full volume.

Meet Hiccup — a shy little shadow with a big personality hiding underneath. While he may be timid at first, once Hiccup feels safe, his curious side starts to shine. He’s the kind of cat who quietly watches everything from a distance before cautiously waddling over to investigate for himself. Don’t let his bashful nature fool you, Hiccup is surprisingly chatty and loves carrying on tiny conversations with his humans. His favorite hobbies include chasing string like it’s the greatest treasure on earth, And if you really want to win him over? Butt scratches. A few good scratches and Hiccup turns into a purring little puddle of happiness.
