Story
Rocky is about 8 years old, a very sweet and loving cat. He gets along well with most other animals (his previous family had 4 dogs) and is also great with children. We currently have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and he is very kind and patient with both of them. The only time I've seen him interact with other cats is outdoors, as he currently is an indoor/outdoor cat in our home and we always call them his "friends." His only "special need" is a special veterinary diet: A couple years ago he had a bladder stone with some associated urinary retention so he's been on Purina Pro Urinary vet diet, a 16 lb bag costs about $107 but lasts us about 6 months. We are seeking a new home for Rocky since my husband is highly allergic to him and needs to have the cat out of the house. Also since having our children, we haven't been able to give Rocky all the love and attention he deserves. Contact me for more information!

Story
Meet Sylus, a handsome 7-year-old gentleman who knows what he likes and isn’t afraid to let you know! This sweet boy would love to find a home where he can be your one-and-only feline companion. Sylus does not enjoy living with other cats, but he does well with dogs! He’d likely be happiest in a home without young children, or with older, cat-savvy kids who understand that cats sometimes need a little space. Sylus can become overstimulated with too much handling or activity, so having people who can read his cues and respect his boundaries will help him feel comfortable and confident. Give Sylus a home where he can relax, settle in, and be himself, and he’ll be ready to show you just how special he is. If you’re looking for a mature companion who knows his own mind and can be your one-and-only cat, Sylus may be your guy!

Story
Meet Pita! Pita is a gorgeous 8-year-old tuxedo cat who’s ready for a soft place to land. He loves a cozy lap to curl up in and all the head scratches you’re willing to give! Pita is FIV-positive, but don’t let that scare you! FIV is manageable, and with regular veterinary care and a good diet, many FIV-positive cats can live long, happy lives. FIV cannot be transmitted to people or dogs, and it’s primarily spread between cats through deep bite wounds. Thankfully, Pita is much more of a lover than a fighter! Pita is looking for a calm, indoor home with someone who sees the wonderful cat he is, not just his diagnosis. If you have questions about FIV, we’d be happy to talk with you and help you understand what it means to care for an FIV positive cat. Ready to meet your new best friend? Please submit an adoption application today! Once your application is approved, stop by to meet Pita and, if it’s a perfect match, take him home! Pita is available to meet Tuesday through Sunday, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Pita is ready to find his forever home and a lap to call his own. Could it be yours?
