Story
Hi! My name is Mittens. About 10 years ago, I showed up on the doorstep of a house in Rensselaer. I am polydactyl (having an extra toe) on all 4 paws. My coloring makes me look like I am wearing one of the thumb-hole sweaters. My family members: 2 other female cats (an orange tabby and another tuxedo (my facial mirror-image)), both around 13 years old; 1 male American & English Cocker Spaniel mix, also about 13 years old; 2 female humans. I’ve had a wonderful time living here, but the dog & I don’t get along too well. He smells like dog & I don’t like it. We’ve had some changes in the house recently (1 human moved out & my orange tabby sister passed away). I’m having more issues with the dog because I don’t have the human’s undivided attention & I get mad at him for being here. My dream home is one where I am the only pet, or where there are plenty of humans to spend time with.

Story
Could give little Peanut a home? She is an affectionate, playful, and very loving cat. The only reason we need to rehome her is that we are moving overseas and cannot take her with us. She is healthy and all vaccinations are up to date. Please, give Peanut a loving home if you can! Thank you so much for your kindness! Please, call us at Arthur and Marinella Knowles (xxx) xxx-xxxx - cell phone (xxx) xxx-xxxx -landline.

Story
Need a loving home with either no cats or one cat for this easy going girl. We had 2 other cats and all was fine, then we took in a stray and Loni got stressed out with new arrival. Much growling and from time to time quick spats between the two of them. As a result she is over eating and needs some diet control. Loni was a rescue we’ve had about 4 yrs getting her at about 8 mos old. She has no problem with being picked up, carried or cradled. She has never bitten or scratched us. Overall she is a very loving cat who likes to curl up next to you at night and snore. If you have a red laser pointer she will chase it around all day. She’s smart too, because as soon as she sees the pointer in your hand she is already on the go. Her coat is a perfect tabby design and is very shiny and full. We hope someone out there would like to have this wonderful, plump lady to curl up in their lap and keep them company.

Story
Kirby is a great kitty, sweet, affectionate and loving. He is a great companion to both other kitties and people! Kirby just turned a year old, he makes happy biscuits when he finds a soft bed or blanket. Kirby is VERY outgoing, he can be very persuasive when he wants attention. This outgoing house panther wants to where you are at and loves affection. He will be your lap kitty if you let him. If you are looking to add some love into your life, look no further than Kirby. If you are open to a pair, Kirby does have a favorite feline friend in the community cat room where he is currently staying. He gets along with everyone but definitely has a favorite playmate. ****************** PLEASE READ THIS TO ADOPT KIRBY ******************* Please COPY and PASTE the following URL into your web browser for the adoption application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FPSL/Cat COMPLETED applications TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER INQUIRIES.
