Story
Precious, petite, purring perfection! That's Charlotte, a 4.5 pound 10-ish year old calico with beautiful, silky soft fur just right for gentle pets and ear rubs! Her little forehead is the best spot for kisses and her expressive eyes are a unique blend of amber and peridot. Her very favorite thing...once she's done walking around her space for inspection...is a soft, cozy blanket for napping. She loves her couch time and will happily allow you to share her space. She may even honor you with snuggles!If you don't see her on a blanket, the bathtub is her place of choice. She is very fond of water, and a dripping sink is the best entertainment. Charlotte is as easy to care for as she is to love. She is an independent girl who knows all of her indoor cat etiquette and conducts herself accordingly. In her foster home, she is continuing to come into her own and is beginning to seek out pets and crawl on her foster mom to nap or hang out as she gets more comfortable. She isn't bothered by typical house activity but does like her independence respected. She enjoys attention, but will let you know when she's had enough. Requires another cat: NoGood with other cats: Unknown Would be fine with young kids (under 10):Good with dogs: UnknownHome activity level: Quiet to averageHealth concerns or special needs: Charlotte is on a kidney support diet  We believe this cat was born around 12-30-2009.

Story
Introducing Poe, a charming and delightful kitten who is in search of his forever home. Poe is a busy and sweet cat, with beautiful long silky fur and long white tufts in his ears. He loves sitting on the window perch and watching the birds and squirrels at the bird feeder. Poe also enjoys climbing up the cat hammock with his best friend and brother, Palmer. After playtime, Poe is a sweet little boy who loves to cuddle and receive pats on the head. Although he may be a little shy at first, he will warm up to you in no time. Poe is an independent little guy and is easy to care for. He is completely litter box trained, a good eater, and loves to drink from the cat water fountain. Poe has a relaxed personality and is used to being around other cats. Although he hasn't been around any dogs, we believe he would do just fine. If you're looking for a loving and adorable cat to add to your family, Poe may be the perfect fit for you. Requires another cat: kittens always do better with a friend! A bored kitten is naughty kitten.Good with other cats: Yes Would be fine with young kids (under 10): Not fostered with kids but we think he'd be fine with proper introductions Good with dogs: Not fostered with dogs but we think he'd be fine with proper introductions Home activity level: Average Health concerns or special needs: No We believe this kitten/cat was born around 10-20-2023.

Story
Palmer is a stunning and adorable tiger-striped kitten with long, soft fur that's just begging to be petted. His white tufts of fur in his ears give him a unique and endearing look that's sure to capture anyone's heart. Though he may be a bit apprehensive and shy at first, Palmer's sweet and gentle nature shines through once he's comfortable with his surroundings. With a bit of patience and some tasty treats, he'll soon become your most affectionate companion. Palmer loves to climb and play, and there's nothing he enjoys more than spending time with his beloved brother Poe. They're the best of friends and are always up for a game of chase or a cuddle session. Palmer is also litter trained, so you won't have to worry about any messes around the house. And when it comes to eating and drinking, he's a champ - he never misses a meal or a chance for a refreshing drink of water. Palmer is a social kitten who gets along well with other cats, so he'd be a great addition to any household with feline friends.  He's full of energy and affection, and he's just waiting for the perfect family to take him in and love him for the rest of his days. If you're looking for a delightful and charming kitten, Palmer is the one for you! Requires another cat: kittens always do better with a friend!

Story
Meet Fancy! This sassy little lady was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, also known as "Wobbly Kitten Syndrome." Cerebellar Hypoplasia is the failure of the cerebellum, which controls coordinated movement, to develop properly, and causes affected animals to "wobble" and occasionally tip over and fall when they move. Despite having some extra pep in her step, Fancy is in no pain and lives a wonderful life of playing, cuddling, and chasing her feline foster siblings. While animals with cerebellar hypoplasia can still live long, happy lives, they do need some extra care and support from their human companions, which vary on a case-by-case basis depending on the individual animal's needs and severity. For Fancy, this looks like some extra cleaning when she doesn't make it to the litterbox on time, helping her keep her sanitary area tidy, and helping manage her environment to maximize her safety. While she is largely litterbox trained in the sense of making a conscious effort to use the litterbox, Fancy frequently has accidents when she can't find the box and/or does not make it on time, and she needs a litterbox with a low entry and high walls to help her balance while doing her business. She has dealt with chronic GI issues and needs a family dedicated to working with her food sensitivities, knowing that they may change as she matures. Additionally, she benefits from a raised food and water dish to help keep her balance and reduce the incidence of her falling into the water and spilling her food. Fancy’s ideal home would have another playful feline companion and minimal stairs to help keep her safe. The Brave team is happy to be a resource and support while Fancy and her forever family get to know each other and adjust to life together.

Story
Pugsley is a handsome 2-ish-year-old black cat who prefers to take things slow at first. New environments can be a bit overwhelming for this shy guy, but once he feels comfortable, his playfulness shines through. Pugsley is a master string-toy hunter, and will happily bat and chase it around the room for hours on end. He enjoys having his back scratched, and would love the chance to show you his “elevator butt”.  He would love a home with a feline friend to keep him company and help him blossom into the confident and playful cat he can be. Pugsley’s favorite treats are Greenies and he has perfect litter box manners. Requires another cat: Yes - Pugsley would greatly benefit from a confident and friendly cat. Good with other cats: YesWould be fine with young kids (under 10): Unsure - too much commotion might be overwhelming to him Good with dogs: Unknown Home activity level: Quiet to averageHealth concerns or special needs: No We believe this cat was born around 1/19/2021.

Jet is a complete snuggle bug. He loves to play, but loves even more to be lounging in your arms or lap. He has a solid motor for purring and does not let it go to waste. He enjoys greeting new people in his foster home and is always up for a new adventure with his sister Midnight. He enjoys passing the time by wrestling with his sister, racing her up and down the cat tower, and sitting nicely for treats from his foster family. Jet is being fostered with cats, dogs, and children and does fine with all. He has excellent litter box manners and is an absolute joy to have around.
