Story
Say hello to Coco Foster. She likes being an indoor cat and does not beg to go outside. She is very energetic and can run a marathon when she gets the zoomies. She doesn't like to be picked up but is happy to sit on your lap & be petted. She loves to play. She knows her name and the word "no". She eats hard food but only wants squeeze up wet foot and won’t eat treats. She is curious about what you're eating but does not beg or want any of it. Overall, she is a sweet kitty, but she is shy and scares easily. She would be best as the only pet in the home and no children. She was born in January 2025. She has been spayed & is up to date on her vaccinations. This animal is being fostered in TN but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
Everett is a black and white boy. His unique face gives her a warm and appealing look. He is very sweet but also tends to be shy around new people. Given some time to adjust and become comfortable, Everett will likely enjoy sitting in your lap, making him a wonderful companion for someone seeking a gentle and affectionate pet. Everett would thrive in a quiet home where he can be the only cat and enjoy undisturbed attention. A household without children is best suited to his needs, as this environment will allow him to feel safe and at ease. He was born in September 2024. He has been neutered & is up to date on his vaccinations. This animal is being fostered in TN but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
