Story
Hecate joined CCHS in October 2025, and while she was initially reserved and shy, she’s blossomed so much since then! She might look a bit judgy in her photo, but she’s actually a sweet cat with a playful personality. She still gets a little nervous when picked up or faced with new situations, but once she feels at ease, her wonderful true self shines through. With her sleek, silky fur and beautiful appearance, we know that if you give her time to settle into your home, you’ll feel like you’ve won the cat lottery by choosing her! Apply to meet her at www.cchswi.org

Mariah is the sweetest little cat! She’s about 2 years old with the most adorable smooshy face. She came to us with her kittens and went into a foster home to raise them. Now that she’s back, she’s ready to find a home of her own! Mariah is shy, but she absolutely loves attention and chin rubs. She also enjoys being cozy and having a tucked-away spot to nap and relax. Her easygoing and quiet nature will truly shine in the right home. Apply to meet her at www.ccshwi.org

Story
Lynx is a young adult petite kitty who lost her home because her owner was too old to take care of her. She is beautiful and friendly and just wants to be back in a home. She is fully vetted including teste for FeLV and FIV, spayed, vaccinated, and free lifetime microchip. She is currently still in Oklahoma where she was rescued but she can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. She has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take her in or she will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) Adoption fee: $250 (includes the $250 cost of transport from Oklahoma and all vetting listed above) Adoption application (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 FAQs (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eb_SRtk1AzaBl87UltcLJ24MjH9UhQm_LE77iWZEQA/edit?tab=t.0 Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95

Story
Fallon is a stunning 1-year-old cat who arrived at CCHS in June 2025 with her kittens. She lovingly raised them, and now that they’ve all found homes, Fallon is hoping for one of her own. She’s a sweet girl who can be a little shy at first, but with some love and care, she warms up and enjoys being around people. Fallon is a beautiful tortoiseshell cat with striking green eyes. She would likely thrive in a quiet home with someone who will give her plenty of love, attention, and treats! Please consider giving Fallon a home. Apply to adopt at www.cchswi.org
