Story
This adorable, tenderhearted guy is Virgil. He is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old, but his pleading eyes seem kittenish. In contrast, he carries himself with a peaceful resilience of an old, wise soul. He does get the zoomies, he go bonkers for catnip kicker toys and he destroys silver vine chew sticks. Virgil's left eye was blinded because of an unfortunate event that happened when he was very young, but he feels no pain and it doesn't affect his behavior. He would probably coexist well with respectful kids and he does great with other cats as long as the resources are plentiful and he gets his share of human affection. If you want to meet this cute boy, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
Yotei is a handsome 4-year-old tabby/Siamese mix with a heart as big as his 15-pound frame! This sweet guy has had quite the journey—after being abandoned by his previous owner, Yotei came to us wary, defensive, and with eye and head wounds. He had a condition called entropion, where his eyelid rolled inward, causing irritation to his eye, which was fixed with surgery. With patience and care, he has blossomed into the affectionate, talkative, and utterly lovable cat he is today. Yotei is a total people cat. He loves attention, will flop right in front of you for pets, and is happy to curl up in your lap. He’s chatty, enjoys being around kids, and thrives on human companionship. He also has a special love for Churu treats—a sure way to win his heart. He can be a little feisty at times and might give a playful nip now and then—but that’s just part of his quirky charm. Yotei is FIV+ and does not get along with other cats so he would do best as the only cat in a home. Managing FIV mainly involves keeping him safe from other cats and illnesses, so he can live a long, healthy, and happy life. He’s already overcome so much, and he’s ready to enjoy life to the fullest with his forever family. If you’re looking for a big, affectionate, talkative companion with a heart full of love, Yotei is your guy!

Story
Artemis “Artie” is the bold leader of the pack! Always the first to try new things. He loves his siblings, but he also loves to wrestle with my adult cats, even one who outweighs him by 10lbs! Artemis is goofy and sweet, loves to play and see what mischief he can find. He loves to ride around on your shoulder getting butt pats, purring the entire time and will jump on your back the second you are leaning over so he can climb his way up to his favorite spot! He is a busy boy who will need plenty of attention and play. Of the crew, he would be fine going off without his siblings, but he would need a home with a slightly older, outgoing, and very playful sibling to keep him busy and teach him the ways of the world!

Story
**Bonded with Rachel** 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.
