Story
Meet Candy Hearts! Candy Hearts may not be the life of the party, but he’s the kind of companion who makes everything feel calmer just by being there. This easy-going boy prefers a peaceful pace, taking life one cozy moment at a time. If there’s a quiet corner and a comfy spot to curl up, he’s already halfway to his happy place. Nap time holds a very special place in his Candy Heart—it’s practically a love language. When he’s awake, he enjoys making biscuits and absolutely melts for chin scratches, leaning in like he’s been waiting for them all day. Candy Hearts is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his vaccinations. You can meet him at CASPCA between the hours of 12PM and 6PM daily, no appointment necessary. For more information, please email adoptions@caspca.org.

Story
St. Lawrence is a stunning, fluffy 2½-year-old black-and-white long-haired cat with a hint of Maine Coon charm. Her early life was unique and challenging, which has made her understandably cautious around people, other animals, and unfamiliar noises. During her two years in foster care, while her sister Valencia gradually came out of her shell, St. Lawrence remained shy and relied heavily on Valencia for comfort and reassurance. The two are deeply bonded and must be adopted together. St. Lawrence would thrive in a quiet, spacious home without dogs, other cats, or children—an environment where she can feel safe, secure, and truly at ease. A larger home with plenty of room to explore, roam, and discover cozy, tucked-away spots for napping would suit her perfectly. When you visit, you’ll most likely find St. Lawrence cuddled up with Valencia in their favorite spot—curled together at the bottom of their beloved cat tree, often resting on their red blanket. Gentle voices, slow movements, and giving St. Lawrence the time and space to approach on her own terms will go a long way in earning her trust. We truly believe that Valencia and St. Lawrence will flourish together in a peaceful, loving home where they can feel safe, cherished, and understood. St. Lawrence is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She can be met daily at the shelter between 12–6 p.m. For more information, please email adoptions@caspca.org.

Story
Valencia is an absolutely stunning 2½-year-old calico longhair with a luxurious, Maine Coon–like mane and extra fluff to match. She is deeply bonded to her sister, St. Lawrence, and the two must be adopted together. Valencia’s early life was unique and challenging, which made her understandably cautious around people and unfamiliar noises. During her two years in foster care, however, she made incredible progress-blossoming into a sweet little love bug and a devoted protector to her sister. St. Lawrence is her comfort and her constant, and Valencia takes her role as best friend and guardian very lovingly and seriously. Since arriving at the SPCA, Valencia has become more reserved again as she adjusts to her new surroundings. While she’s currently shy and skeptical, we know that with patience, consistency, and a calm environment, her beautiful personality will shine through once more. Valencia would thrive best in a quiet, spacious home without dogs, other cats, or children—an environment where she can feel safe, secure, and truly at ease. A large home with plenty of room to explore and claim as her own would be ideal. When you visit, you’ll likely find Valencia cuddled up with St. Lawrence in their favorite spot—curled together at the bottom of their beloved cat tree, usually on their red blanket. Gentle voices, slow movements, and allowing Valencia to approach on her own terms will go a long way in earning her trust. We truly believe that Valencia and St. Lawrence will flourish together in a peaceful, loving home where they can feel safe and cherished. Valencia is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. She can be met daily at the shelter between 12–6 p.m. For more information, please email adoptions@caspca.org .

Story
Meet Carmen 🌸 Carmen is a soft-spoken, shy girl with a tender heart. She’s the kind of cat who prefers to take life at her own pace and will always let you know when she’s ready for affection. When she chooses you, those moments feel extra special. Carmen does need time to come around, so she’s looking for a patient adopter who understands that trust grows slowly—and beautifully. She has lived successfully with other cats and does well in feline company, especially when everyone respects each other’s space. A calm, quiet home is essential for Carmen. She thrives in peaceful environments where she can observe, relax, and feel safe. She enjoys the gentle presence of humans and especially likes listening to someone read, content to simply share space while staying in her own cozy spot. Carmen would be a wonderful companion for someone who values quiet connection, soft moments, and the kind of bond that grows deeper with time. If you’re looking for a cat who will love you in her own thoughtful way, Carmen may be the one. 🐾
