Story
Big Bread may sound like a whole loaf, but this little guy is more of a dinner roll! At just about a year old and weighing in at a petite 5.6 pounds, Big Bread is small in size but absolutely overflowing with love. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to head home with his future family. Big Bread is missing his ears and most of his tail, which just makes him extra special and gives him the most unforgettable look. What he lacks in “bread loaf” size he makes up for with a giant heart and an industrial-strength purr box. This sweet boy is incredibly friendly, adores attention, and will happily greet you by wagging his tiny little tail at your feet. If you’re looking for the cutest, most loving little companion who will melt into your hands and your heart, Big Bread is your guy. Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!! Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, ($25-125 +TAX) special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.

Story
Estimated DOB: 10/25/2015 Moon & Sunny – The Sweetest Senior Duo ☀️🌙 Moon and Sunny are a bonded pair of 10-year-old brothers who are looking for a peaceful forever home to enjoy their golden years together. They came to rescue when their previous owner could no longer care for them due to medical issues, and now they’re ready to bring their gentle love to a new family. These two are truly the sweetest boys. They adore hugs, head kisses, and being petted — and they absolutely thrive on attention. They’re laid-back and easygoing, though every now and then they’ll surprise you with a little burst of zoomies before settling back in for a cozy nap. Sunny can be a bit shy at first and may take some time to feel comfortable in a new environment. But once he learns to trust you, he blossoms into a loving, devoted companion — just like his brother Moon. Because they are front declawed and have lived a calm lifestyle, Moon and Sunny need a quiet, low-activity home with no other pets or small children. They’re simply looking for a sunny spot to lounge in, a soft place to rest, and a family to cherish them. If you’re looking for a pair of affectionate, easygoing senior cats to share your heart and home, you truly can’t go wrong with Moon and Sunny. They are the very best boys — and they’re ready to retire in comfort, together. Go to www.allcatsrescue.org/cat-adoption-application to apply to adopt, or email allcatsrescue@gmail.com for more information. All of our adoptable kitties are current on shots, microchipped, altered (if old enough), and litter box trained. (BCH)

Story
Estimated DOB: 02/01/2021 Meet Hazel 💚 Hazel is the sweetest little one-eyed beauty with a gentle soul and the softest heart. This easygoing girl loves cuddles, ear and chin scratches, and will happily accept treats of any kind. She’s adorably vocal and will politely let you know when she’s ready for some love and attention. Hazel is a shy girl at first and needs a little time to feel safe. But once she warms up, she blossoms into a devoted companion who will happily curl up on your lap or rest on your stomach while you relax. While she’s not a fan of being picked up, she shows her affection in her own quiet, special ways. She enjoys playing independently with balls and small stuffed toys, often saving her zoomies and snack time for the evening hours. Free-feeding works well for her, and she appreciates the occasional serving of wet food as a special treat. She has wonderful litter box manners and has never had accidents. Hazel would thrive in a calm, quiet home without dogs, other cats, or young children, as loud noises can frighten her. A cozy window seat is a must—she loves watching squirrels and birds and could spend hours taking in the view. Plenty of scratching posts will help keep this happy girl content. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who just needs a little patience to shine, Hazel is ready to find her forever home. 🐾 Go to www.allcatsrescue.org/cat-adoption-application to apply to adopt, or email allcatsrescue@gmail.com for more information. All of our adoptable kitties are current on shots, microchipped, altered (if old enough), and litter box trained. (SS)
