Story
Leo is an old man who has a quiet scratchy chirp for a voice. He is hard of hearing and limited vision in one eye. He has been a stray growing up in an apartment complex where he has been bullied by other cats and likely was hit by a car when he was a kitten. He walks with a limp and has one good eye. He had an infection as a kitten that wasn’t treated so unfortunately he lost vision in one eye because of that. He is litter box trained but would need time to decompress and adjust to life inside. He is friendly either his caretakers but not trusting of other animals. He is an old man that just needs a place to retire and rest. He loves windows and would love a covered enclosed catio. He would do best in a home with no children and no cats or dogs. He needs a retirement home. He just needs a safe quiet clean place with a gentle voice, little pats here & there, not too much fuss, and a cozy spots to sleep.

Story
Chopsticks is being sponsored anonymously! Chopstick had a rough start to life, having sustained an unknown injury while out on the streets. When she came to Gem City Kitties, it was discovered that she needed surgery to correct the painful way she healed, and post surgery, proper healing would depend on Chopstick's effort. Chopstick rose to the challenge and has been gaining strength steadily! She can now run, jump and play to her heart's content! Her personality has come out and we've gotten to see what a sweet, elegant lady she is. Could you be the safe place she finally calls home?

Story
Lucille is being graciously sponsored in honor of Lucy the Dog!Lucille and her sister Snoopy are a pair of absolute sweethearts! Both are tuxedos; Snoopy has a white stripe down her face and Lucille has one white spot on her mouth, like a reverse beauty mark. Lucille is the more confident of the two and has been making appearances in the cat lounge, meeting people, playing with toys, and exploring all the high shelves. She is playful and inquisitive, but she's also always down for a nice snuggle! Lucille and Snoopy will need to go to a home together as they are a bonded pair. We think they will make wonderful companions for anyone looking for some gentle lap cats!
