Story
Mutt (the cat), one of the Schitt’s Creek kittens, was brought to a caring volunteer by his mom, a community cat. She was given a warm, safe place to raise her kittens inside and this little man has never looked back after is brother, David said it was OK! He absolutely loves his brother, David and enjoys spending his days cuddling in boxes and baskets with him. Don’t let his lounging ways fool you though; he is very playful and will demand cuddles and pets. If he isn’t getting enough attention, he will let you know that he needs TWO hands to pet him! Stop before he’s done, and he will nuzzle you till you have changed your mind. Mutt (the cat) is up-to-date on vaccinations and is spayed and microchipped. He is litter-box trained and uses cat trees and scratching posts appropriately. We are still accepting applications on this pet. Please read the Adoption Process steps below.

Story
Please note: We don’t DNA test our cats. Catelyn is likely just a domestic long hair mix. However, "Maine coon" has become synonymous with long haired cats. If you do further research, you'll find that most cats in the US are made up of a variety of different breeds, and we think Catelyn falls into that category of "vaguely long haired cat that is mistakenly called a Maine Coon her entire life."  Either way, we know she’s 100% cute!  Catelyn is a six-year-old sweetheart with a gentle, friendly personality. She’s spayed, up to date on all her vaccines, and ready to find her forever home. This lovely girl was sadly returned to us after her previous owners moved out of the country and couldn’t take her along. Despite the change, Cat has stayed her affectionate, easygoing self. She loves attention, enjoys lounging in sunny spots, and will happily keep you company while you relax or work. Catelyn would make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a loving friend who just wants to be part of a family again. Fill out an application to meet her and we can see if she's your purrfect match!  If you are reading this, we are still accepting applications on this pet.

Homer is a gentle soul who is hoping for a second chance. He and his sister Gertie were adopted from RHS as kittens but were returned due to their owner's inability to care for them. Homer is incredibly sweet and mild and loves to cuddle up with his person.  When we first came back to us, he was terrified. But within a few days, his true personality started coming through. This gentle, loving boy just wants some consistency and love.  Do you think you could give Homer a second chance at forever?  Our Adoption Process: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria.

Story
David, one of the Schitt’s Creek kittens, was brought to a caring volunteer by his mom, a community cat. She was given a warm, safe place to raise her kittens inside and this little man has never looked back! David’s three passions are cuddling, golf on TV and his brother, Mutt (the cat). More on the TV: he LOVES to watch anything, but sports are his jam. He even has his own spot near the TV so he has a front-row seat! Don’t worry though, he’s not interested IN the TV. He is a very playful and gentle kitty. He can be a bit hesitant at first, but his desire to be loved on always wins out and he turns into the cuddliest love bug. He is very laid-back and goes with the flow. He’ll let you know if you’re in by rolling over to expose his belly for scratches so he can get all of the rubs. David is up-to-date on vaccinations and is spayed and microchipped. He is litter-box trained and uses cat trees and scratching posts appropriately. We are still accepting applications on this pet.

Story
Please keep an eye on your spam folder. Emailed responses often end up in spam folders!  Thyme is a tender sweetheart with a quiet curiosity and a gentle soul. She may be a little more reserved than her brother Sage, but she still greets new people with interest and warmth. Like him, she gets her little “bee swarm” (purrs) of excitement going when someone walks into the room, and you can just tell she wants to be close, even if she’s not quite ready to be the first in your lap.But don't worry, she's right behind her brother and once she knows you, she's all in on the cuddles!  Thyme loves playing with toys whether it’s chasing a ball, pouncing on feathers, or wrestling with Sage in a silly kitten tumble. She’s a soft-spoken girl who lets out the occasional meow when she wants attention, but her voice is quiet and sweet,  just enough to let you know she’s thinking of you. Her personality is still blooming and we can't wait for her to become the best kitty she can be!  Thyme is very bonded to her brother and would do best adopted alongside him. If not adopted with Sage, she should go to a home that already has a friendly cat to keep her company. She’s on her way to becoming a total cuddle cat and would thrive in a variety of homes!  Thyme is too young to be eligible for a full adoption. However, he is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program!  Foster-to-Adopt Program Details We are an all-volunteer, foster-based, non-profit organization We don’t have a physical location; all cats and kittens live in foster homes until they are formally adopted.
