Story
Meet Rufus, a handsome boy who has traded the unpredictable life of a stray for the comforts of a forever home. Though his past remains a mystery, his future is clear: being the ultimate "chill" companion.Rufus is the definition of laid-back and docile. He is the rare kind of feline who doesn't mind being held, carried around, or "messed with"—once he settles in, he is happy to just be part of whatever you're doing. While he is super shy at first and might cautiously question his next move, this hesitation is just his way of making sure he’s safe.Once that bridge of trust is built, Rufus transforms into a loyal best friend who can get along with almost anyone. If you have the patience to earn his heart, you’ll be rewarded with a very steady, very sweet feline sidekick.If you would be interested in giving me a furever home, please contact The Humane Society of Adams County, Inc. at (937) 544-8585 to set up a time to come meet me and fill out an adoption application!

Story
Meet Yoshi, a former street-savvy tomcat who has officially retired from the stray life to become the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. If there were an award for "Most Friendly Neighbor," Yoshi would win it paws-down; he absolutely loves cats, dogs, and any other furry friends he encounters. Socializing former stray cats often takes a village, but Yoshi is already an expert at making animal pals.While he is a little shy with humans at first, he has a secret weakness: head scratches. The moment you find that perfect spot, his "stranger danger" melts away, and he transforms into a dedicated, biscuit-making purr ball.Yoshi takes relaxation to a whole new level—he’s a professional lounger who believes every nap is an art form. He is looking for a "forever kingdom" where he can be spoiled like the king he is. If you have a home filled with love (and maybe a few other pets for him to befriend), Yoshi is ready to move in and take over your heart.If you would be interested in giving me a furever home, please contact The Humane Society of Adams County, Inc. at (937) 544-8585 to set up a time to come meet me and fill out an adoption application!
