Story
I have had Casper for almost 9 years. He is a sweet old man who loves to cuddle and snooze. He is very low maintenance, however he does not get the love he deserves in his current home. He is great with other cats, dogs, and children. He comes to the sound of a crinkling treat bag and will be your best friend.

Story
Nola is a sweet and affectionate 4-year-old cat. She loves people and lots of attention. I took her in after she had been abandoned on a farm and found by a family friend. She's been a loving companion for 3 years. Due to a change in work keeping me away for longer periods as well as a partner who is very allergic, I've decided to look for a new loving home for her. She's been an only pet while I've had her, so her interaction with other pets is not known.

Story
We adopted Canelo in January 2025 from the Humane Society. He was rescued from a hoarder and was found in a house amongst 13 other cats. He is very active and sometimes radiates dog energy, but he can be cuddly when he wants to. He loves attention and loves going outside.

Story
Sally came to Brave after her family had to move out of the country and could not take her. At 5 years old and 11 lbs, she has been loved and taken care of her whole life! Sally is very people-friendly and does well with kids of all ages. She is a relaxed cat who prefers to cuddle and lounge around. Sally enjoys ear scratches most of all. She likes to roll on the carpet with her belly up. It's up to you to decipher if that's an invitation for a belly rub (sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't!).  At night, she prefers to sleep around your legs, especially if there’s a cozy gap. During the day, she usually sleeps on a pillow. Sally is an easy-going cat, but she will engage in play if you have a special toy or laser pointer. Her favorite toy is a simple hairband. She has a habit of stealing hairbands and hiding them under the bed or fridge. We hope for Sally to find a family who loves her as much as her first family did!  Requires another cat in the home: NoGood with other cats: Would do best as an only cat Would be fine with young kids (under 10): Yes, has lived with kidsGood with dogs: Would do best as an only cat Home activity level: Quiet to average Health concerns or special needs: No - she is a noisy breather, but she's been seen by the vet and this isn't a concern.  We believe Sally was born around 2-11-2020. She is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $125 which covers age appropriate vaccines and dewormings, a microchip, FIV/FeLV testing, and a spay/neuter. The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures. If you’re interested in adopting this kitten/cat, please submit an inquiry or email BraveAnimalRescue@gmail.com to ask about our adoption process (please check your spam or junk email if you do not hear back from us within a few business days). We are 100% volunteer staffed and will respond to your email as soon as possible. After you have submitted an application and been approved, we will set up a meet and greet between you and the kitten/cat. Meet and greets are held virtually via Zoom and we offer a trial period to ensure your cat/kitten is a match. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about Brave Animal Rescue and our mission.    ##2312169##
