South Burlington, VT

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Swish was discovered on a rainy night, abandoned in a locked carrier behind a dumpster - terribly emaciated, frightened, and in visible pain. While many kitties may find it hard to trust humans again after this traumatic experience, Swish radiates forgiveness, sweetness, friendship, and playfulness. He simply longs for a forever family to love. He soaks up attention with silly summersaults and dramatic rolls, often so enthusiastically that he tumbles right off whatever he’s perched on. He loves to have his belly scratched, will carry toys to you when he wants to play and is excellent at eating his breakfast, lunch and dinner (he is still catching up on missed meals!). While he doesn’t quite understand how to be held for long periods yet, Swish will let you know with deep, resonant purring and soft head nudging that his Heaven is curling up next to someone for a long nap. This might just be the gentlest, loving and handsome kitty you ever did meet. Swish is great with all people. He does not get along with other animals (cats or dogs) and would do best as the only pet in his new family. He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations. He is fully litter trained and his vets at Richmond Animal Hospital have made the following statements about Swish: “We love Swish. Everyone in this office wishes we could adopt Swish for ourselves. Unfortunately, we all have dogs” “He is a very brave boy” “He has the face of an angel” Swish has one wish, and it's to find his forever family that will give him all the love he deserves. He is currently being fostered/cared for by a loving family in Vergennes VT. Please email ericanet@gmavt.net if you are interested in adopting this sweet boy!

Beefcake

Domestic Shorthair

Male, Adult

Burlington, VT

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Beefcake, a 6-year-old hunk of cuteness with a soft black coat and the fattest cheekies you’ve ever seen. This boy is affectionate, well-mannered and always ready to purr his appreciation for any attention. Beefcake is a certified chowhound who loves mealtime a *little* too much, so he’ll benefit from food puzzles or slow feeders to help him pace himself. When he’s not thinking about snacks, he’s busy rubbing on everything - furniture, legs, toys - because Beefcake believes the world belongs to him. He’s good with other cats and would be content in a home with cat companions. He was rescued with his adorable family; his baby's momma, Sweetcakes, and his son, Umbra, are also in the care of QCC! If you’re looking for a charming, squeezable cutie, Beefcake is ready to fill your home with warmth this Winter. Complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org if you'd like to meet him.

Rocky 3

Domestic Shorthair

Male, Adult

Burlington, VT

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Rocky is a big, goofy, 4.5-yr-old boy with a huge purr and so much love to give! If you are a patient person that wants a cat that likes both his alone time and play time than he is the boy for you. Rocky is a shy and scared initially, and will need a separate room to decompress for the first month. Once comfortable he’s playful, curious, and loves chasing wiggle toys, birdwatching from the window, and being brushed (his absolute favorite thing)! When he’s feeling lovey (a lot of the time), he’ll rub around your legs, walk over you and lay down next to you. He loves his cat bed and getting under and on the blankets and laying with his person. He has energy to burn and needs playtime during the day to keep him happy and balanced. He is comfortable being picked up, getting his nails trimmed, and being generally handled. He will communicate by chirping when he does not want to be picked up or touched. If you're interested in meeting Rocky, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Tobias

Domestic Shorthair

Male, Young

Burlington, VT

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Tobias has spent a lot of time getting used to humans. He is a natural at cat diplomacy, checking in on the other Lounge cats, headbutting them, and gently wrestling with his fellow teenage kittens, Rachel (his girlfriend!), Lindsay (his sister), and Lillian Smith. He is not afraid of mops, brooms, or vacuums, purr-efering to come close to inspect and play with these implements. He is observant and curious. He has begun allowing some petting from humans, and calls out for them with a sweet little “hawwaw?” chirp if he’s craving company. He adores playing with feathered or ribbon wand toys, and will chase ping pong balls, and other bouncing, skittering objects of interest. He has become the first to approach visitors when they enter the Lounge, though he’s still cautious about strangers reaching out to touch him. He continues to blossom every day, and is a terrific companion to other cats. He’d love to go home with another cat (Rachel IS his girlfriend), or to a home with another cat friend. Don’t sleep on this boio. He is a fan favorite with our cat care team, and will be sure to make you melt, laugh, and brighten your days. If you want to meet Tobias, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Oscar

Domestic Mediumhair

Male, Adult

Burlington, VT

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

[FOSTER TO ADOPT] Meet Oscar, a very handsome and very silly Tuxedo lad. When he warms up to you (a process that will take equal parts patience and treats), this dignified gentleman will have no qualms about hilariously dive bombing his head into your hand or leg for pets. Chin scritches are his favorite, and are a quick way to get him to start purring. Just try and restrain yourself from gently booping him right on his perfect chin circle, we dare you! He's very acrobatic and loves chasing around wand toys (fair warning to his new guardian: your home will slowly be littered in feathers from his enthusiastic efforts). After he's done playing, he is happy to flop alongside you while you work or watch tv. He's a curious boy, and will always be intrigued by whatever it is that you're doing. Oscar is currently on a diet to trim down a little bit. He's also been diagnosed with a heart murmur, which we're in the process of investigating. If this sweet kitty and his little marshmallow paws speak to you, visit https://www.queencitycatsvt.org/ to fill out an application today!
