Story
Gunther is a 7 year old boy that is such a sweetie. I have had him since he was a kitten and I have struggled to adapt him to a household with other cats since he has been an adult. Gunther will be best in a home without other pets, children are ok. He loves to play fetch with toys, get belly rubs and cuddle. Gunther will always eat a good snack and let you know when he's feeling a little hungry. His up to date on all of his vaccines and house trained. I feel sad to see him go but recognize I want the best situation for him and unfortunately my current house with other cats is not a good fit. Please reach out if you are interested!

Story
She was roaming around my neighborhood over the past few weeks. She’s very sweet but nervous/skittish on presentation. I can’t keep her because I already have a cat and my landlord only allows one cat. She gets along well with my cat, they eat next to each other and haven’t gotten into any tussles at all. (Granted, she did hiss a few times at first)

Story
Meet Coco Puff, A beautiful gentleman with a heart full of love just waiting to be rekindled. At an estimated 15 years old, Coco Puff has seen a lot in life, and this sweet senior deserves nothing more than a soft place to land and a family to adore him. Since arriving at the shelter, he’s been a bit downhearted — it’s clear he misses the comfort of a home and the gentle touch of someone who truly cares. Coco Puff hasn’t had known experience with kids or other animals, but he may do well with cat savvy, respectful children who understand that older cats appreciate calm energy and gentle affection. With time and a slow, patient introduction, he could also coexist peacefully with other senior or mellow pets who share his easygoing nature. What Coco Puff needs most is a quiet, loving home where he can feel safe, cherished, and unhurried. With a little tenderness and understanding, this soulful boy will surely show his gratitude with soft purrs and endless love. He’s a reminder that senior cats have so much warmth left to give, they just need the right heart to give it to. ⭐ If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and stop by during our open hours! ⭐

Story
Meet Gracie 👑 Gracie is a 14-year-old sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She’s incredibly affectionate and loves to share her opinions—especially when it’s breakfast or dinner time! If you enjoy a chatty companion who will happily keep you company, Gracie will fit right in. This lovely senior would do well in a calm home with cat-savvy children who understand and respect feline boundaries. Gracie prefers to be the queen bee, so a home without other cats is ideal for her to feel secure and confident. Gracie is currently available through our Special Medical / Hospice Adoption program. She has several age-related conditions, including hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and dental disease. She is medically stable and receiving ongoing care, including medication for her thyroid and a prescription renal diet to support her kidney health. With close partnership with a veterinarian and thoughtful monitoring, many cats like Gracie can continue to enjoy comfort and a good quality of life. While her lifespan may be more limited due to her chronic conditions, Gracie has so much love left to give. She would thrive in a peaceful, supportive home with adopters who are comfortable providing ongoing medical care, regular check-ins with a vet, and—most importantly—lots of affection. If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in a senior cat’s life and are ready to open your heart to a special soul, Gracie would love nothing more than to spend her golden years cherished and adored. 💕 Gracie is in our special medical adoption program, If you are interested in meeting her please complete an adopter’s profile at parl.org and email clinic@parl.org to set up a meet and greet

Story
Meet Vixen and Rudolph! These bonded pair of siblings came in with their mother Clarice who is also available for adoption. They are about 5 months old and still learning the ropes of being a cat. Vixen is the shy one of the pair and will need some patience to come out of her shell. Rudolph is the more confident and affectionate sibling. These two may be very different when it comes to personality's but they do love cuddling and sharing a bed. Rudolph should be separated from Vixen when they are eating to ensure that Rudolph is not stealing all of the food. ⭐ If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and stop by during our open hours! ⭐

Story
Meet this precious bonded pair! Ozzy and Sharon are an incredibly special, deeply bonded pair who must stay together. Ozzy is the picture perfect kitten, sweet, affectionate, playful $ endlessly charming. He adores people, loves interactive play and brings out the very best in his best friend, Sharon. These two are truly inseparable and thrive in each other’s company. Sharon is a wonderful, loving cat with a gentle spirit, but she does have ongoing medical needs that require a committed, medically cat savvy adopter. She is mostly blind and has underlying neurological issues that will require consistent monitoring, frequent veterinary care and a home that is dedicated to maintaining her health, comfort, and quality of life. It is absolutely essential that her adopter is prepared for long term medical management and understands the importance of regular vet visits. Sharon has a medical disclaimer that must be thoroughly reviewed before adoption, and she will also need both a clinic counseling and a veterinary counseling session prior to going home. We want to ensure that her next family fully understands her needs and is able to support her so she continues to live a safe, happy, and healthy life, exactly what she deserves. Ozzy and Sharon can do well with cat savvy children and mellow, cat savvy dogs. They are also good with other cats. As with all multi pet households, slow and patient introductions are necessary. These two are absolutely amazing cats with a once in a-lifetime bond. They bring out the best in each other, and with the right adopter-someone dedicated, patient, and medically knowledgeable, Sharon and Ozzy will continue to flourish. They are ready for a home that understands their unique needs and will cherish them both forever. ⭐ If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and stop by during our open hours! ⭐
