Story
Meet Holly! Hello there! My name is Holly, and I'm a gorgeous 5-month-old calico girl looking for my forever family. I will be a little shy when we first meet—I like to take my time and observe before I jump in—but once I warm up, I am the sweetest and most loving little purr machine you'll ever meet! I was born in the wild and still need some work trusting humans, but I love to be held. I absolutely adore other cats and would be thrilled to have a feline friend in my new home! I also don't mind those big, loud creatures called dogs, as long as they're nice to me. I'm all set for my new life: I'm litter box trained, spayed, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations! Plus, I'm happy to report I've tested Negative for FeLV/FIV. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who will blossom into a wonderful family member, I might just be your girl! Ready to show this sweet calico how wonderful life can be? If you are interested in adopting please complete an application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).

Story
💜🌟 Meet Marvelous Molly! 🌟💜 ​Hello! I'm Molly, a stunning 10-week-old short hair tortie kitten ready to steal your heart! I might be a tiny bit shy for the first few minutes, but don't worry—I warm up super quickly and turn into a lovebug who adores people. In fact, I love people so much, I specialize in giving gentle kitten kisses! ​I have a purr motor that sounds like a tiny rumbling engine and I use it often, especially when I'm getting cuddles. I generally like other cats and would enjoy having a nice feline friends, but I would also be alright on my own. Quick note: I'm still getting used to big, bouncy dogs, so a home without them (or one where they keep a respectful distance!) would make me feel safest. ​I am all set to go home with you: I'm litter box trained, spayed, fully vaccinated, and tested Negative for FeLV/FIV. ​If you're looking for a sweet, kiss-giving kitten with a huge purr, look no further! If you’re interested in adopting Molly, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).

Please click “Adopt Phillip” to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!* Phillip is a shy, black and white gentleman with a cute little ink-smudge patch on his nose. He’s quiet and sensitive, still learning that the world is a safe place. New people and changes can be overwhelming, so Phillip is looking for a calm, patient home where he can take his time to settle in. He’s not ready for cuddles just yet, but with love and understanding, he has the potential to grow into a sweet, steady companion. Phillip may be nervous now, but he’s full of quiet potential — just waiting for someone to help him feel safe enough to shine.
