Story
Harry is available for adoption! This funny boy has the best temperament and is a goofball. His favorite thing is making his humans laugh and he is full of tricks and moves! He will race around rooms for hours entertaining himself - so many zoomies! We don't think he ever sleeps. He adores head scratches and naps in laps:) He has a wild Maine Coon look with ears too big for his face! He has a LOT of energy and will scale your legs to be picked up and cradled like a baby. Harry loves to sit on our shoulders and rub his chin on anything. Extremely extroverted and social, he would do well in any environment. He loves dogs, cats, kids, everyone;) He has been vetted including first shots, dewormed and flea treated, and will leave with a neuter contract. If you are interested in adopting this funny guy, please send an email to faithfulpawsrescue@gmail.com and you will be emailed an adoption application.

Story
Vesuvius is a (roughly) 8-year-old, FIV+ American Bobtail(?) male; more importantly, he is an extraordinarily chill, cuddly companion! He has been described as a cat-dog, meaning that he often greets visitors at the door, hangs out in the presence of his human friends, and is an all-around cat owner's best friend. Vesuv seems to have had a rough go in the past. He was brought to an animal shelter as a stray with visible scars on his ears, face, and body. At one point, he was apparently adopted out as a barn cat, but made friends with the rodents on that farm, so he got fired. In other words: lotta character! He spent two years with me as the hall monitor at a boarding high school, where he became accustomed to people and learned to set boundaries (in the form of soft nips). Since then, he has lived with me and my girlfriend in a two bedroom apartment, where he spends most of his time basking in the sun or lounging in our laps. Happy to provide more info. Thanks for reading!

Story
Meet Bowie! She's a perfectly spunky, one-year-old girl who makes an excellent office mate. She was found left behind in a Burlington apartment and the animal-loving manager made sure she wouldn't end up on the streets all alone. Bowie has come a long way since being rescued; she was very frightened and cautious of humans at first but with gentle care and patience, she has shown her softer, more playful side. Her face and that one little freckle are irresistible, not to mention her squeaky meow that sweetly asks for your attention. She enjoys cat nip, string toys, chasing small toys and napping on the desk. Bowie seems unbothered by gentle cats, but more reactive or territorial cats would not be a good fit for her. She would do best with someone who will take the time to get to know her and let her get acclimated on her own schedule. Bowie loves hanging out with her foster dad while he works, but she's ready to find her own person and continue her journey to live her best life possible.

Story
Meet Benvolio: Benvolio is a 5-year-old, orange and white cat who’s as sweet as he is cuddly. With his soft, plush fur and gentle nature, Benvolio is the purrfect companion for someone who enjoys quiet moments and heartfelt connection. Though he’s a bit shy at first, once he feels comfortable in his new home, he’ll melt right into your arms, especially when you give him those oh-so-delicious belly rubs. Benvolio is laid-back and easygoing, always happy to curl up in a cozy spot and watch the world go by. He’s curious and loves to explore his environment, but he’s never in a rush. His ideal day consists of lounging by your side, napping in the sun, and enjoying a good chin scratch. Benvolio is bonded with his brother, Mercutio. These two are the best of friends and bring out the best in each other. If you're looking for a sweet, low-key cat who’s full of love, Benvolio is ready to find his forever family with his brother, Mercutio. Is Benvolio and Mercutio the perfect pair for your home?
