Story
This handsome tuxedo boy has been loved since kittenhood, and it shows in every purr. From the moment you meet Oliver, his warm, social personality shines through the type of cat who greets you at the door and follows you from room to room, just happy to be near his favorite human. A true lap cat who lives for cuddles and quality time. Remarkably social and affectionate. Smart and engaging, with a dog-like personality that cat lovers adore Gets along beautifully with other cats (proven this with his buddy George) Comfortable as an indoor/outdoor cat, giving him the best of both worlds. Does very well with young children. Health note: Oliver has a history of urinary blockage and thrives on special urinary health food, which his current family is happy to provide to get him started in his new home.

Story
Leo is a sweet and shy cat. He is an indoor cat and would not go outside. If he is new to you, he will try to hide from you. Once he gets to know you, he will come and rub on you. He does not like loud noise and will run away from stranger. He is not a lap cat and he does not like to be held. However, he will not claw or bite you if you grab and hold him on. He will let you do that for a minute or two and will try to get away, so you should let him go. Leo is quite a unique cat. He only eats dried food, especially chicken flavor. He knows when he wants to eat and will stop when he eats enough. He does not see a half full food bowl as empty but will keep going back until it is empty if you do not fill it up. He is very careful every step he moves, and he will try not to knock anything down like other cats. His toy is mostly rubber bands. He likes to drink from a water fountain. He would be the best companion to you and he is low maintenance.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, my name is Lexie.  I was recently surrendered to KSC when my human suffered serious health issues and could no longer take care of me.  It’s been confusing for me to not be in my home and though I’ve been a bit down, I’m a friendly, healthy girl .  The caregivers are taking good care of me and give me gentle pets and talk to me.    I hope to find a quiet forever home where I can spend my retirement years.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. October 9, 2025, 9:30 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Beautiful Tina was rescued from a life on the streets and she is so grateful to be in a safe, warm place! She is a little shy, but very friendly and would do best with someone who can be patient with her so her personality can blossom. She loves napping with her foster buddies, watching the squirrels and swatting toy mice around the house. Being adopted with one of her foster friends would be great or at least into a home with another resident kitty or two. She would do well in a quieter adult household and is fine with cat-friendly dogs. Tina is spayed, vaccinated, combo-tested and microchipped.    If you would like to meet Tina, please visit the following link to fill out an application.  https://www.kingstreetcats.org/info/adoption Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. December 1, 2025, 9:16 pm
