Story
Hi! My name is London and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by my previous owner on April 30, 2025 with my sister Oz (A727610). I lived in a home with an adult man and woman so I am used to the quiet and mellow life. My previous owner described me as friendly once I get to know you.I am bonded to my sister! We`ve been together all our lives and with all the changes recently we hope that we get one constant, which is each other :)I may be hissy at first, but I don`t have a mean bone in my body. Please approach me slowly and quietly, offer me chin scritches and I`ll be your friend in no time. Due to my shy nature I would thrive best in a home without younger children since fast movements and loud noises startle me. When I go to my new home it is important to be patient with me and allow me time to acclimate to my new environment at my own speed. It is best to keep me in a smaller, quiet room, with my food, bed, and litterbox until I am comfortable and confident enough to start exploring the rest of my home.I am a gentle and loving cat who likes to take things slow. I may get nervous in new situations, so I am looking for a family who understands that I might need some time to warm up. Once I get to know you, I will be a very devoted friend!

Story
Watson and Gordon are brothers, and they are a package deal because they bonded and love each other very much. They are both incredibly loving and sweet cats. They love to play with each other, and to play with toys. They are shy at first with strangers, but they will eventually come out of their shell. I love these two cats with all my heart, unfortunately my partner is unwilling to live with cats and we are moving in together soon so he’s left me no choice. They were initially found as stray kittens (about one month old) in Yakima, WA. They are both microchipped, neutered, and vaccinated, without any health issues. Watson is the grey tabby and Gordon is the light orange tabby. Please reach out for more details on their individual personalities or anything else you would like to know. It breaks my heart to part with my babies, please someone welcome them into a loving forever home.

Story
Hi, my name is SoySauce, and I am available for adoption.Since I was very scared at the shelter, my foster daddy has been working with me to see if I can be socialized. He noticed right away that I was used to being in a home, and comfortable with it - just not with people. Since he let me make the decisions, I became more open about moving around the room while he was there, but it was 12 weeks before I allowed a touch - a real project kitty! But then I was all in for lots of petting - as long as I approached him! Two more weeks, and I`m sitting on his lap for hours. But I`m still very skittish, and I run if he moves differently than I`m used to, or approaches me, or if I hear different indoor sounds, like voices or a radio. I`ve been very tentative about exploring the rest of the home, but I expect to finish it up eventually. (Foster Daddy believes it`s important to note that in all these weeks I`ve never made an aggressive act towards him.)It looks like I`ll make a nice house cat, but only If I`m given lots of time to get used to you and your home. Being outside may be very hard on me, since I`m terrified of new and/or changing circumstances. I can get used to a new place if I have a closed room (with my food, water, litter box and places to sleep and hide) and I can get used to a new person in the room given enough time. Kids may likely terrify me, and other pets may be difficult. One or two people in a quiet home may work best for me. But I like to play, and I`m young, so I may be very energetic around people I`ve learned to trust. I might even like a companion cat to play with, but I might be terrified instead.My foster daddy believes that I will always be skittish, and expects that I will likely always run and hide at the first sign of a visitor, or sounds I don`t know, like maybe voices or a radio or TV or telephone.If you would like to take on a project cat, and can accept a very skittish result, follow the instructions under `Foster Path` and Foster Daddy will talk to you about me, and if you want to adopt me he can set up a meeting with me.
