Story
Howdy, my name is Tillie! I was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded rescue in Texas. My foster mama says that I am smart, calm, & quietly observant. I was fostered with other cats & got along well with them, and I am known for being playful and easy to get along with. When I'm not playing with my feline friends, I keep myself busy with wand toys and jingle balls, or I'm hanging out with you and getting attention. I can be a bit shy in new situations but I am a little love when I'm comfortable in my surroundings. Oh, and I also really love wet cat food! My foster mama told me that if I could be brave and travel all the way to New Hampshire, I'd get the very best fur-ever home. If you think I might be the girl for you, come say hi to me today - I'm waiting so patiently❤️If you'd like to meet Tillie and all her friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed). Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 3.09 Age: 0yrs 9mths 1wks

Story
Ellie was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. She is a sweet & sensitive lady who is a bit overwhelmed by the hustle & bustle of shelter life - as you can see in her photo, Ellie spends a lot of time hiding under her fleecy blanket. She is always receptive to soft voices, and she loves getting head & neck scratches from her visitors. Ellie was exceptionally good for her veterinary examination and won the hearts of the vet team with her floofy purrfection and gentle head butts. We cannot wait for this glorious tortoiseshell girl to be comfortable in her home so that she can start showing off what is going to be a magnificent tri-colored purrsonality. Come meet our adorable Ellie today - she would love to finally have the loving fur-ever home of her dreams!If you'd like to meet Ellie and all her friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed).

Story
Gandoff & his brother Merlin were transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. First off, let me assure you that we know his name is spelt incorrectly, but since his previous shelter spelled his name this way, we have to keep it. Now that that's out of the way, meet Gandoff! This big beefy fellow - weighing in at almost 18 pounds - is the shy brother of the pair. He has spent most of his time with us hiding in his favorite cubby hole. We suspect that it is the hustle & bustle of shelter life that is bothering him - his previous home was a much quieter environment, and we believe that Gandoff would prefer a calmer household. In their previous home, Gandoff is described as a sweet, friendly, an loving boy. Gandoff is very much looking forward to getting into his purrfect fur-ever home so he can get comfortable & show off his true purrsonality!If you'd like to meet Gadoff, Merlin and all their friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed). Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 7.74 Age: 9yrs 1mths 1wks

Story
Cicero was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. This handsome orange baby boy was lucky enough to be raised in a foster home and he is a bit intimidated by all the hustle & bustle here at the shelter. It is clear that Cicero is a friendly lad and wants to make a connection with humans, but he is nervous about grabby hands and fast movements. When he is feeling comfortable, Cicero is a huge fan of fleecy beds and blankets as biscuit-making and purring are two of his top activities. Cicero also loves playing with toys, especially fuzzy mice and plastic springs, and he also enjoys a good wand or fishing pole toy, especially if a favorite human is operating the toy for him. Cicero would love to get out of the busy shelter and into a quieter home where he can decompress & start showing off his true self - come meet him today!If you'd like to meet Cicero and all his friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed). Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today. Primary Color: Orange Tabby Weight: 3.08 Age: 0yrs 6mths 1wks

This little kitten is a bit shy at first, but underneath that gentle hesitation is the biggest sweetheart. Once she warms up, she is friendly, social, and loves being near her people. She enjoys soft cuddles, quiet playtime, and will happily follow you around once trust is built. With a little patience and lots of love, this shy cutie will blossom into the most loyal and loving companion. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 1.2 Age: 0yrs 3mths 0wks
