Story
Pepper has been part of our family for over 14 wonderful years. He first joined us in the U.S. as a tiny, playful kitten, then moved with us to India where he spent nearly 12 happy years. Recently, he made the journey back to the U.S. again — a true little traveler and loyal companion through every chapter of our lives. Pepper is affectionate, playful, and gentle. He enjoys being around people, loves attention, and still has his fun, curious moments. With a busy two-year-old at home, we’re unable to give him the time he deserves. This has been a very difficult decision, but we’re hoping to find him a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by care and warmth. ❤️🐾 And the adoption fees is just a number. We are more concerned about his well being and happiness.

Story
Archer is a 3 year old male cat that was abandoned in our neighborhood and we took him in about 2 months ago! SUPER friendly towards people-purrs and shows his belly to any stranger. We have taken him to the vet and other than previously being underweight, he is happy and healthy. We also got him his rabies shot. Archie LOVES treats, soft surfaces, and snuggles.He has a silly personality that really comes out while he’s playing or letting you know he wants attention!

Story
Hi, I'm Finn. I am a very sweet boy who still likes to play with his tail at 8 years old. I would love a new mom or gentle dad that could spend time with me and play with me. I have not been much of a cuddler but love being petted and rubbed and hanging out with you. I like being brushed. My mom has taken good care of me. I am up to date on all my shots and have had regular dental cleanings. I still have a wellness plan at Banfield Pet Hospital through September. I have to find a new home because my new stepdad and I don't like each other and I act out by not using the litter box like I normally do. I get along with other cats but have never had a dog in my house. I am pretty laid back but will need some time to adjust to a new home. My mom is willing to provide Feliway for the first month or so and continue to pay out the wellness plan. Please fill out an application if you are interested. Thank You!

Story
Cashmere was rescued from an animal shelter as a small kitten. She was all by herself; the only kitten in the shelter. She is very sweet and outgoing. She’s a bit of a tomboy. She loves to wrestle with the other kittens in her foster home. She’s extremely affectionate and good with other friendly cats or dogs. And she loves to be cuddled by her foster mom.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org February 2, 2025, 1:29 pm

Story
Brianna is a beautiful, independent kitty with a heart full of potential. Brianna truly treasures her alone time. She’s a quiet observer of the world, curious in her own way—and very food motivated! Put down a plate and she’ll come running with her soft paws and hopeful eyes.  She’s never been one to seek out attention—yet we believe the right person could help her discover just how amazing human companionship can be. She coexists peacefully with her fellow foster cats, but we think Brianna would blossom as the one and only queen of the castle, in a calm home with a patient, kindhearted human who understands that the best friendships sometimes take a little time to bloom. With gentle encouragement, she’ll learn that people are pretty great. If you’re someone who believes in the beauty of second chances, Brianna might just be your perfect match. Let’s help this shy sweetheart find the peaceful, loving home she deserves.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org June 23, 2025, 6:58 pm
