Story
Roshi is about 4 years old. He was a COVID kitty found in the trash can at a gas station in 2020. I took him in and he got along well with my other cat. He can be a little skittish around dogs but other wise gets along well with other animals. He is a big fur ball that enjoys napping on his back feet in the air! He enjoys cuddles and handles bath time well. He isn’t that great at bathing himself due to his large size. Roshi is a great cat and loves to chase lights. He also Loves being brushed.

Story
Velcro is an extremely sweet cat who has never met a stranger in his life. His favorite pastimes are watching Cat TV, snuggling with his human, and playing fetch with his catnip mice. He has a lot of energy for his age (somewhere between 5-8 years old) and loves constant affection. He was acquired from an adoption shelter in June 2023 in New York after a year’s stay. His original origins are unknown, but he was found as a stray in a hoarding house. Although Velcro is an easy-going cat, he does have feline herpes virus, which complicates things. He does have to be given I-lysine and gabapentin daily to stop his flare ups. Although Velcro is a great beginner cat temper wise, his diagnosis is not beginner friendly. Extensive research on the disease should be done before consideration. I wasn't aware of Velcro’s condition before adopting him, and my lifestyle of being a travel nurse does not allow him to thrive with his diagnosis. Looking for a stable loving home for him.

Story
*reduced fee due to length of time she has been with the rescue* Mirabel is super sweet and loving on her terms. So your typical calico! Mirabel wants attention and to be pet but does not like to be smothered. She loves to play with toys and bat them around the room. She has always done great with kittens and has learned to tolerate other adult cats in the house. It just takes her time to adjust. She also does well with low energy dogs that would not want to pester her. Good with older children familiar with proper cat handling. Not a cat for younger children since she does not always want attention and to be pet. She loves to bring you socks while you are sleeping!  ##1458441##

Story
Latinum (Latty) is an incredibly cuddly and affectionate cat, ready to snuggle up with you and offer warmth and comfort. This talkative kitty loves to engage in conversations with her meows and “biscuit-making”.  Latty is very friendly if you give her time to warm up. She gets along with other cats and small dogs, too! Give her the loving forever home she deserves, and you'll have a lifelong cuddle buddy who brightens your days. ##1543998##

Story
Kanar is a sweet and shy fellow looking for a quiet home to settle down in and enjoy life away from the stresses of street life. With some patience, this scaredycat melts into a total sweetheart. Kanar finds comfort in other cats and we would prefer he be adopted with Hasperat. ##1544003##
