Miss Calico is a little over a year old. She is a very affectionate baby. Loves to cuddle and is great with other cats and kids.  Doesn't quite know what to think of dogs so she will just keep her distance.  ##2807584##

Story
Some cats want to share the spotlight. Bikini respectfully declines. At just over 1 year old, Bikini has perfected the art of being the center of attention—and if you're handing out pets, she's first in line. This sweet, outgoing girl absolutely adores people and is always happy to soak up every scratch, cuddle, and compliment you have to offer. When she's not charming her humans, Bikini is busy showing off her athletic side. Wand toys are her absolute favorite, and she'll leap, pounce, and chase with the determination of a tiny feline Olympian. If there's a feather on a string involved, she's all in. Bikini has made one thing very clear to us: she isn't interested in sharing her kingdom with other cats. While she loves people, she'd much prefer to be your one and only furry roommate, where she can enjoy all the toys, treats, and attention without having to negotiate with anyone else. If you've been looking for a cat who's equal parts playful, affectionate, and delightfully confident, Bikini is ready to claim her throne in your home. All she asks is that the castle comes with plenty of wand toys... and that she doesn't have to share her royal duties with any other pets. Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!

Story
Some kittens like to play it cool. Ramona is not one of them. At just over 5 months old, Ramona approaches life with the enthusiasm of someone who has just been told it's her birthday... every single day. People? Amazing. Cats? Fantastic. Toys? Yes, please. Existing? Best day ever. The moment she spots you, don't be surprised if she comes flying across the room to say hello. Ramona has absolutely no interest in pretending she's independent when there are pets, snuggles, and attention to be had. Why wait for affection when you can sprint directly toward it? As if her personality wasn't charming enough, Ramona's sleek black coat is sprinkled with the cutest little white spots in the most random places—as though someone accidentally flicked a tiny paintbrush at her. They make her just as unique on the outside as she is on the inside. Confident, playful, and endlessly friendly, Ramona is the kind of kitten who assumes everyone she meets is a new best friend—and somehow, she's usually right. She's always ready for the next game, the next adventure, or the next lap that needs a kitten. If you're looking for a kitten with a giant personality, endless confidence, adorable little "paint splatters," and enough love to make every day a little brighter, Ramona is ready to come barreling into your heart... probably at full speed.

Story
Surprise! 🎉 Bet you weren't expecting to fall in love with a cat this quickly. Meet Surprise, a confident, outgoing, and ridiculously handsome 10-month-old who walks into every room like he already owns the place... and honestly, we're just letting him believe it. Surprise is the kind of cat who assumes you came to see him, and he's usually right. He absolutely loves attention, so if your hand is available for pets, he'll gladly put it to work. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or walking through the room, Surprise is happy to stop by and remind you that he's deserving of just a little more affection. When it comes to meeting other cats, Surprise likes to make a... well... memorable first impression. He may greet newcomers with a few dramatic hisses, but don't let that fool you. Once he's given the proper slow introduction and realizes everyone can coexist peacefully, he's likely to settle in just fine. If you're looking for a young cat with confidence, charm, and a personality that's just as big as his heart, Surprise might be exactly what you never knew you needed.
