Story
Tennessee is back, and there's a little more of her. She was adopted two years ago, but the resident cat in her home never took to her, so her adopter returned her to FFF. The good news: she put on a healthy amount of weight while she was away, so she was clearly well fed. Tennessee is what we call a cat's cat. She LOVES other cats. No matter what they're doing, she wants to be around playful, friendly felines. Her next home needs a resident cat who's just as social as she is. She's also never late to meals and will sit patiently for you to serve the wet food. What's the catch? Tennessee wants little to do with humans unless they're bringing her something to eat. She'll occasionally come over to sniff a finger, and her previous adopter said she got to the point of tolerating her, but people are still a distant second to cats. She has one eye, and it tends to get a little goopy, but it has been holding steady. She's indifferent to cat-savvy dogs, and we think she'd be OK with older kids who respect her space. If you have a friendly cat who could use a buddy, apply to adopt Tennessee.

Story
Messi is a year old and arrived regurgitating every meal, drooling, and hurting every time he ate. The cause: a hiatal hernia, where his stomach slides up into his esophagus and causes severe reflux. UT weighed surgery but worried it could make him worse. Medical management was already working, so that's the plan. He went from tiny liquified meals to a mix of soaked and crunchy hydrolyzed kibble. He's gaining weight and eating without pain. His routine is a motility medication, an acid reducer, and a hydrolyzed diet. He's also the sweetest boy. He rubs on faces and tucks himself into the nook of your neck or armpit. He's very active and is mastering parkour, mostly off the drapes. The drapes were not consulted. He gets along with some cats but clashed with his foster's three males, so a female kitten playmate may suit him best. Active dogs that get in his face scare him; a calm dog who keeps her distance is fine. If you have room for a cuddly acrobat with a med schedule, apply today.

Story
Shoop is a quiet dude. He keeps to himself, except when he is really involved in playtime, but he is coming out of his shell, how could he not as one of seven? He has not yet experienced the dogs in his foster home, other cats are likely fine, kids are a wildcard.

Story
Flora has been very shy, but is coming around slowly. She is probably going to need a quiet, patient home with time to come out of her shell on her own schedule. She has not yet been introduced to the dogs ion her foster home, cats should be no problem, kids will probably need to be older.
