Story
I am Drake. I am soft and independent but I will be near you always. I prefer floors and window sills to sit in when you are in the room but I also love your lap or the high back of the chair behind you when you’re relaxing. I like to be pet but not a ton. I am good for three to five minutes but then I just want to be by you and sleep or watch out the window. I meow at meal time to let you know I’m ready for food. My owner likes to say I sing for my supper. I like to run to the bowl excited to eat. I have sharp claws good for catching birds as I am an indoor / outdoor cat but I am missing a few teeth. The dentist got me during a check up after I was rescued but don’t worry, I eat just fine. I can live in a house with other cats but know that I’m curious and will stick my nose in their business ( and food) but when confronted, I’ll run away. I’m a bit of a baby that way. It would best though to be your one and only. I’ll keep you good company.

Story
This is Mya. Mya has been the softest, sweetest, most lovable cat I have ever owned. She is about 4 years old. She purrs when you pet her, loves to sit on your lap, and is also litter box trained and goes indoors and outdoors. Outside she rolls in the sun and will grab small mice and rodents. She is quiet and patient when she waits for food and is the perfect companion who only wants one pet. Unfortunately I have another dominant cat that attacks her and scares her and he is more difficult to re home. Mya needs a quieter loving owner who wants a low maintenance easy to love cat. She really is nearly perfect. I just cannot keep her here with my other cat who keeps attacking her. You are getting a gem of a feline here. She is pretty much perfect.

Story
Meet April — A Gentle Heart in Search of Her Forever Home. April’s story is one of quiet transformation. When she first arrived at our sanctuary as a tiny springtime kitten, she was shy and uncertain, unsure of the world around her. But with time, love, and patience, this beautiful girl has blossomed into a sweet, tender companion — now she just needs the right home to complete her journey. April is a soft soul who thrives in the company of other calm, gentle cats. She absolutely adores snuggling with her feline friends, often curling up in a cozy pile for warmth, comfort, and companionship. She feels safest and happiest when she has a calm kitty companion by her side — and for that reason, we would love to see her adopted with a trusted shelter friend she already knows and loves. With people, April is shy at first — but once she trusts you, she enjoys gentle pets, quiet snuggles, and will reward your patience with soft purrs and affection. She isn’t a bold, outgoing cat, but she is incredibly loving in her own peaceful, steady way. Watching her bloom into a confident companion will be one of the most rewarding experiences for her future family. April’s Info: Born approximately 3/1/2024; Sleek black coat; Spayed; Up to date on vaccinations; Tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV; Flea-treated, dewormed, and healthy. April will do best in a calm home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace, surrounded by understanding people and maybe even a snuggly feline friend. She’s waited so patiently for someone to see the beauty and love she has to offer. Could that someone be you? Apply to meet April today: https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/adoption-application
