Story
Runa is a 6-year-old purebred Sphynx I adopted as an eight-week-old kitten. She’s a true “velcro” cat—loyal, cuddly, chatty—but her hairless body also makes her extra-sensitive. Loud noises or strong animal smells spike her anxiety; in new environments she can get very nervous and has done well on short-term calming meds prescribed by a vet. A rough younger cat recently rattled her, so she now needs either an only-pet home or a household with one mellow animal introduced slowly over 1–3 months (scent swapping and room rotations). Gentle, respectful kids who give her space are fine. Runa loves predictable routines, heated blankets, spring-toy play, and quiet companionship. She has a mild, stable heart murmur (records available) and needs weekly wipes/baths plus nail trimming. Offer her a calm, scent-controlled home with patient affection and she’ll reward you with purrs and unwavering loyalty.

Story
Billy was brought in as a stray, who wasn`t feeling well. Our medical team helped get him back to health, and he is now looking for his forever home. You`ll notice that he isn`t one for bragging about how good looking he is, this boy is shy! He is not quite used to humans, so he would appreciate a patient human who will let him lead the relationship. We`d like to mention Billy is considered a Special Paws adoption, which means I do have medical needs that need tending to. Billy is FeLV positive, an IDEXX FIV/FeLV test was performed in shelter using whole blood, and a positive FeLV test result was noted. Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) can significantly compromise the immune system, so routine preventive healthcare is important. Infected felines often have a shorter than average lifespan, though can live a relatively normal life for a period of time. There are many ways that FeLV adversely affects a cat, most commonly including; cancer, blood disorders, and overall immunodeficiency. It is important that any medical concerns are promptly addressed with a veterinarian. The primary mode of transmission for FeLV is through bite wounds, mutual grooming, and (rarely) through the use of shared litter boxes and feeding dishes. Since this condition can be easily transmitted to other cats, those testing positive should be housed only with those who have also tested positive. Rarely, false positive tests can occur. If a cat has been vaccinated against FeLV we would not see a false positive result. It is recommended that you follow up with your primary care veterinarian to establish a preventive healthcare plan post adoption! But because of this, his adoption fee is totally up to you!

Hello, I`m Theo. I`m a bit of a wallflower, but don`t let that fool you under the right conditions I will blossom into a wonderful cat. When the flowers bloom and birds fly around I love to watch them from my perch, imagining their sweet scent and how they fly around on a spring breeze. I love gentle strokes and soft whispers. I`m the perfect friend to share a peaceful spring afternoon with. Consider adopting me, not just for a pet, but for a companion who will bloom with your love.

Story
Oh um hello, they call me Annabel around here. I am a reserved lady who is in need of a furever home for myself and my longtime friend Angel. I am nervous in new environments and Angel does her best to push through her own fears to make me feel safe, due to the nature of our relationship we must go to our new home together. It is going to take us both some time to get out of our shells, but with your unconditional love and patience we are sure to get there. Once i`m settled into my space I love to be scratched on the head and neck and will need patient adopters to help me get there. We are going to be best suited for an adult home environment where our body language can be read and respected.

Story
UPDATE: Jack has come a long way! He`s still not a lap cat and he cherishes his independence, but after being given a larger space, he`s come out of his shell! He is still a `Working Whisker` but he is ok with some pets. He`s become a staff favourite for his independent nature and his curious heart.Hello, I`m Jack. I`m a bit on the shy side, but don`t let that deter you. You see, I`m what the humans here like to call `spicy` meaning I prefer to do my own thing and would rather chase mice than sit on laps. But I still need a place to call home, so what do you say? *All of our `working whiskers` cat are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and vet checked. You are responsible for providing a safe and suitable living environment, food, water and veterinary care as required. Since he is a `Working Whiskers` pet, you get to choose your own adoption fee.

Story
Oh hello there, you can call me Bear. I am a timid older gentleman who is searching for a furever home where I can be your one and only cat. I don`t like to share my space with other felines and will do best as a single cat. I tend to shutdown in new environments and will need some time to settle into my new home before I show my true personality. I will need a slow approach when meeting new people and like to be pet once i`ve gotten used to your presence. I will do best in home environment on the quiet side this way I can quickly get acclimated and live out my days in peace and quiet!
