Story
My name is Carlee!. I'm very curious & so smart! My foster mom often finds several cupboards & drawers open but I'll never tell her what I was trying to find. I really enjoy playing, especially chasing toys on a string with a human waving it around for me. You can always get my attention with catnip, it's simply divine, and cat treats! I am a lovely senior gal looking for my forever home with people that don't need a cuddly cat because, while I thoroughly enjoy pets, I'm not a snuggler. I live with other cats in my foster home but I'd really rather be an only cat so I hiss & grumble at them all the time.

Story
If you are looking for a big, beautiful, good luck charm who will bring love into your life - look no further! I am silky-soft and full of sweetness. I'm a confident boy who doesn't need to have the companionship of another cat around to make me happy, as long as I get to have your love! I don't mind other kitties as long as they don't mind me. I don't have any positive experiences with dogs so I would prefer living in a home without them since I think they are scary. I also would love older children to play with me who are old enough to be gentle with me.

Story
It's very nice to meet you, my name is Dillon aka Dill or Dillyman. I'm a very handsome, slightly older, gentleman and I'm looking for my furr-ever home where I can be the center of your attention. In addition to my good looks, there are few things you'll quickly notice about me: I'm a big solid cat and I have the best quirky tail you've even seen - it's short & bent but I wag it like a dog. I have been waiting to be adopted by just the right person (I can be a grumpy dude so they need to be cat savvy & let me have my space when needed) since the beginning of the pandemic when my human was forced to surrender me to CAWS when she could no longer care for me. I will come with a slow eater bowl because I like to gobble kibble, I enjoy being atop a cat tree and drinking from a water faucet along with lots of attention for loves & pets. I'm very selective about other cats, have never been around a dog & older children would be OK in my home.

Story
Tiny Tim may have started life as a little bottle baby, but now that he is grown, he has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate young gentleman. He is the perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly charm always ready to curl up with his people after a fun romp. Tiny Tim is wonderfully social - he loves kids, gets along great with dogs, and enjoys the company of other cats. In fact, he would do best in a home with at least one feline friend to keep him company. With his gentle nature and love for companionship, Tiny Tim will bring joy, laughter, and plenty of cuddles to the lucky family who adopts him.
