Story
Hi, I'm Charlie! I'm a sweet, playful boy with a gentle heart and impeccable manners. I love being around my people and am always ready for some affection, a little playtime, or simply hanging out nearby. I'm the kind of gentleman who knows how to make his humans feel special—and I have a pretty adorable way of asking for attention, too! My absolute favorite thing is having my ears scratched. If you stop too soon, I might gently reach out and grab your hand as my way of saying, 'Excuse me, I wasn't finished being adored yet!' I love companionship and will happily keep you company while you go about your day. And when playtime is over, there's nothing better than settling into a cozy spot and enjoying some quality time together. My dream home is a calm and peaceful one where I can be your one-and-only feline superstar. I may be able to share my home with a mellow female cat, but I'd really love to have all your love and attention to myself. Dogs can be a little scary for me, so a dog-free home would be my preference. What I'm wishing for most is a family who will appreciate all the wonderful things that make me, me—a sweet and playful personality, a gentle nature, and a whole lot of love waiting to be shared. Give me a sunny window where I can watch birds and chatter about neighborhood happenings, some fun toys to keep my playful side happy, and a cozy spot beside you for relaxing, and I'll be one happy boy. I have so much love to give, and I can't wait to find the people who will love me right back. Could you be my forever family? I think we should meet! Adoption fee $200, includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Opal – The Gentle Soul (0175) I’m the quieter one of the bunch, but don’t mistake that for shyness! I have so much love to give! I have a calm, easygoing personality and enjoy gentle play, soft blankets, and peaceful cuddle sessions. Once I trust you, I’ll reward you with loud purrs and endless affection. I’ve been raised around a toddler and a dog and have done wonderfully with both. I’m hoping to find a forever family where I can be someone’s loyal little best friend. It is Fancy Cats' policy to not adopt kittens singly unless there is another young and/or playful dog or cat in the home.

Story
Meet Oso! Oso is a wonderful, playful boy who is looking for a forever family to call his own. Full of personality and charm, Oso's favorite things in life are chasing a ball, batting around a piece of string, and then settling down beside his favorite person for a well-earned cuddle. This handsome guy is incredibly social and loves to 'talk.' Oso is constantly trilling, chirping, and carrying on conversations with both humans and feline friends. If he's looking for attention or trying to convince someone to play, you'll definitely hear about it! Oso is an active cat who enjoys interactive play and would do best with a playful feline companion. Having spent part of his life outdoors, he can sometimes get a little enthusiastic during playtime, so he needs a confident cat friend who enjoys companionship and can set clear boundaries when needed. When Oso finds a buddy he clicks with, the two can entertain each other for hours. After an exciting play session, Oso appreciates having some quiet time to decompress before he's ready for more fun. He also loves the simple pleasures in life—stretching out in a sunny spot, exploring cardboard boxes, and curling up beside his people for a nap. Oso does not get along with dogs and would be happiest either as an only pet receiving plenty of attention or in a home with a compatible feline companion. Healthy, affectionate, and full of life, Oso is ready to leave his outdoor days behind and become someone's cherished lifelong companion. If you're looking for a playful, loving cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Oso may be the perfect match for you.
