Story
Verona is truly a sweet cat. She loves to sneak-attack you, loves treats, and loves to sit in your lap. You won't be able to go to bed without her sleeping in between your legs. She would be best in a home with only adults and middle school aged children or older: no other animals, and no young children.

Story
This pretty girl would prefer to be the only cat in the house. She enjoys being pet when she climbs in your lap, is a fan of popcorn and catnip, and enjoys playing with toys (balls, mice). She needs to be the queen of her castle. Displays signs of fearful aggression. Adopted her from an owner who said that she was stressed due to having two loud teenagers at home. She had a brother, but was not bonded with him. Tried, unsuccessfully, to integrate her into my multi-cat home. She is currently in a separate room, alone, away from the other cats, and is content.

Story
Maybe is a sweet 3 y o. female. She would prefer to be in a quiet home where she can relax throughout the day. She will sit with you while you work, nap next to you during your favorite show, and sleep in your bed (most likely on top of you) all night. She is also a Chatty Kathy and will engage in a back and forth conversation. She enjoys having her nose rubbed, and playing with strings toys. She also enjoys playing hide and seek at night before bed- I hide and she finds me, and sometimes she will hide her head under a blanket or hide in her tunnel and jump out when you're looking for her! Maybe will be at her best with adults who just want to love her. She should be the only cat in the home.

Story
Meet Poppy 🌸 Poppy is a very sweet, affectionate girl who has been in our care for about six months after arriving as a stray. She originally lived as an outdoor kitty, but due to an injury that required the amputation of one of her legs, she now needs the safety and comfort of an indoor home. Despite everything she’s been through, Poppy is doing wonderfully and is healing beautifully from her surgery. She is an absolute cuddle bug—loving, gentle, and incredibly friendly. Poppy has a curious, adventurous spirit, but she’s also calm and relaxed, making her an easygoing and enjoyable companion. She’s very easy to handle and gets along great with other cats, dogs, and children. Poppy would thrive in a home where she can receive lots of love, snuggles, and indoor comfort as she continues her new chapter.

Story
Ransom is a sweet-as-pie 2 year old male neutered cat. He is very shy when meeting new people, but warms up quickly once he's comfortable in his environment. Once he adjusts, he's super affectionate and and seeks out attention and his person or people. He's a lap kitty and loves to sit on laps and snuggles behind knees when sleeping with his humans in bed. He likes to play with feather toys, loves smooches on his nose and face and loves to cuddle. He's not so much a lap cat as a *next to your lap* cat. He loves to cuddle behind your knees while sleeping or between his adoring fans on the couch for TV time. Ransom also loves getting his luscious locks brushed. He has special needs as he will be maintained on medication life-long for feline asthma and anxiety as well as a special diet for urinary health. He's been very cooperative and easy to give medications to. He will be provided with a year's supply of medication which is not expensive at all. He will also come with a at least three months of his special food. He's not a big fan of other cats and would prefer to be an only child in his new home. A quieter home is the best situation for him. He wants to be your prince and he's looking for his kingdom! He hasn't been around dogs, but if the dog is respectful, gentle, and leaves him alone, he would probably be ok. Most cats are like this, so with proper introduction and time, he could most likely handle a canine sibling.Ransom is in our Foster-to-Adopt Program because we believe if someone will take a chance on this boy, they will fall in love with him. He's purr-fectly imperfect, as we all are, and he deserves a chance to have a home of his own. We know that there is someone out there reading this and thinking: I can do this. I can give this kitty a home and a second chance! We hope it's you!For more information or to apply to adopt, please go to: https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/
