Story
Meet Allistair, a handsome 3-year-old black domestic shorthair with a heart as big as his purr. Allistair is completely blind, but don’t let that fool you—this sweet boy navigates the world with bravery and trust. He’s looking for a calm, stable home where furniture doesn’t move often and routines stay consistent, giving him the time and space he needs to carefully map out his surroundings. With patience and understanding, you’ll be amazed at how confidently he learns his environment.Allistair is an incredibly affectionate and gentle soul who bonds deeply with his people. He thrives on love, reassurance, and quiet companionship, and he’ll happily reward your kindness with head bumps and cozy snuggles. He’ll need an adopter who is willing to let him adjust at his own pace and offer steady support as he settles in. In return, Allistair will be a devoted, loving companion who proves every day that being different only makes him more special.

Story
Jager is a big, sweet gentleman with an even bigger heart. After losing his owner, he needed some time to adjust to all the changes, and he can be a little growly during transport or his first couple of days in a new space. Once he settles in, though, he completely melts—he’s a total purr machine who adores attention and loves being near his people. Underneath that initial uncertainty is an affectionate, loyal companion who truly bonds with his humans.Jager does need to be on a serious, closely monitored weight loss program, and his adopter will need to work alongside a veterinarian to support his progress and overall health. He’s currently on a strict feeding regimen that must be followed carefully, along with encouragement to gently increase his activity (wand toys are not his thing!). With patience, structure, and ongoing vet care, Jager has so much potential to thrive. He’s a loving boy who just needs a committed home ready to support his health while enjoying all the sweetness he has to give.

Story
Ash is a confident, social girl who is ready to jump right into her next adventure. She has experience living with other cats, a dog, and children — and she truly enjoyed being part of the action. She’s playful, outgoing, and the kind of cat who likes to be involved in whatever her people are doing. Whether it’s hanging out with the kids, exploring the house, or engaging in a good play session, Ash brings a bright, lively energy to a home. She would likely thrive in a variety of family settings thanks to her adaptable and friendly nature.Ash is a smart and curious cat who will do best in a home that keeps her mind and body busy. Plenty of sturdy toys, enrichment, and interactive play will help her channel her playful spirit in all the right ways. (She has a talent for turning everyday household items into “toys,” so keeping small plastics and wrappers picked up is a must!) Starting her off in a small, cozy space to decompress for the first week or two will set her up for success, and slow introductions to other pets or kiddos will help her adjust smoothly. With structure, engagement, and lots of love, Ash has so much potential to be an incredibly fun, devoted, and entertaining companion in her new home.

Story
Alvin may have come to MHS as a stray, but it didn’t take long for his true personality to shine through. Beneath those squinty eyes is an incredibly sweet, people-loving boy who absolutely adores attention. He leans into pets, seeks out affection, and truly just wants to be close to his humans. Alvin is the kind of cat who bonds deeply and will happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give.Right now, Alvin is considered a medical needs kitty as he awaits corrective surgery for double entropion. Until then, he requires eye medication three times a day to keep him comfortable. He does well overall but will need an adopter who is comfortable administering medication and can confidently handle him during treatment times. Pairing his meds with food or treats has helped make the experience more positive for him. Once his surgery is complete, he is expected to no longer need ongoing eye medications. Alvin is available as a foster-to-adopt placement so he can begin settling into his new home now, and he will need to be brought back to MHS the night before his surgery. With a little patience and care in the short term, you’ll be rewarded with one incredibly loving companion for years to come.

Story
Shaggy and Scooby came to MHS as part of a group of eight cats, so it’s safe to say they`re well-versed in feline friendships. They have lived happily with both male and female cats and have gotten along well with everyone here, too. They`re especially close with one another, and the two of them would make a wonderful pair for anyone looking to adopt double the love. They balance each other beautifully and share sweet, gentle personalities that make them easy to adore.Shaggy is an affectionate, docile boy who absolutely loves his people. Head butts, snuggles, and simply being by your side are his favorite things — he’s not particularly treat-motivated because, in his world, your company is the real reward. While he can be a bit of a nervous nelly when adjusting to new spaces, once he feels safe his loving nature truly shines. Scooby takes a little longer to warm up, but together they are low-energy, cuddly companions who enjoy playtime now and then but mostly just want a cozy place to curl up near their humans. They’ve done well with kids and other cats, and with slow introductions could likely adjust to a dog. If you’re hoping for two sweet, snuggly best friends to share your couch and your heart, Shaggy and Scooby would be a perfect match.

Story
Flounder is the definition of a big personality in a compact, adorable package. This handsome guy is affectionate, playful, and full of zest for life. Once he settles in, he bonds deeply with his people and isn’t shy about asking for attention — whether that’s with head bumps, chatty commentary, or zoomies around the house. He loves interactive play, thrives on routine, and truly shines when he’s the center of someone’s world. If you’re looking for a cat who will keep you entertained, make you laugh, and then curl up for some well-earned affection, Flounder is your guy.Flounder would do best as the only cat in the home — he likes his spotlight and prefers not to share it. He may do okay with a confident, cat-savvy dog and would likely do best with kiddos over the age of 8, as he can get a little overstimulated when playtime gets exciting. He is considered a medical kitty due to past ear issues, but at this time he only needs routine ear cleanings to keep him feeling his best. What truly defines Flounder, though, isn’t his medical history — it’s his loving heart, playful spirit, and the joy he brings to the people lucky enough to know him.
