Story
This is Boba. She showed up on my porch several days ago. There’s a lot unknown with Boba unfortunately, but I’ll start off by saying she is the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. She loves and loves to cuddle, play, and receive pets. She eats well, goes to the bathroom well, and is just all around a great cat. She was brought in and scanned for a microchip that was unfortunately registered wrong, and because of this there is no medical information available. She may or may not be spayed, but based on her having a microchip, vets believe she might be. Boba tested positive for FIV so unfortunately she will need to be in a home by herself or with other FIV+ cats. She received her rabies vaccine but because of being immunocomropmised, she has to wait 4-6 weeks to receive her upper respiratory one. She should be strictly an indoor kitty. Please give this sweet baby a chance. She genuinely deserves the world.

Story
Description:  Thor and Yoda are a bonded pair who have been spending their time warming up to human touch.  They love being with their people, curious about them and what they are doing.  They are most comfortable at a distance, but love being talked to and petted just before they eat.  They have gotten used to snuggling beside their foster person and enjoying a peaceful snooze on the couch.  They enjoy sleeping in any soft place where there is a window to watch outside and soak  up sunlight. The wand toy is their favorite!  It makes them run and jump like crazy.  They will be happiest in a home with a family who has patience and will continue to socialize and nurture them as part of the family.  Good with Cats: Yes  Good with Dogs:  No.  Good with Children:  No Companion Animal: This pair is bonded and must be adopted together.   Health information: All cats and kittens will be spayed or neutered, FeLV / FIV tested, receive vaccinations appropriate for age, preventative deworming, and microchipping prior to adoption Adoption Process:   Our adoptable animals are located at one of our adoption centers or in foster homes. We encourage interested parties to apply prior to meeting to ensure a good match or at least confirm location. To apply, visit  http://www.savingonelife.org/adopt/adoption-application/.

Story
Approximate Date of Birth:5/11/2018 Description:   Hi there, my name is Creamsicle and I am the most stunning girl ever! I am a pretty chill girl who loves her indoor life. I love pets at mealtimes and when I am given treats but I would much prefer just hanging out by you! I am a pretty sweet girl who is looking for a patient human.

My favorite napping spots include a bed, in a box or on my cat tree. I enjoy wand toys or any little balls I can bat around! I would do well in a home with another chill and relaxed kitty friend but I would also do great on my own! If I sound like your cup of tea, then come and meet me!!

Story
Approximate Date of Birth:11/11/2017 Description:   Please copy/paste this link to see just how sweet and loving Savvy is:  https://youtu.be/R3rye3SDK0k Hello! My name is Savvy. I was rescued in a housing community with my 4 babies. The wonderful people who took me in believed that I was once someone's pet but when they moved, they left me behind. So I am friendly, although a little unsure sometimes. I have never lashed out at her and if I am scared I just choose to hide somewhere until I know it is safe. I finished raising my babies and now want to find my own home again, hopefully my last. I really am a sweet kitty and will come to you for chin scratches and ear rubs until my little heart is content. Will you be the one to give me my coveted scratches and rubs? Words to Describe Me: sweet, temperamental, calm Favorite Place to Sleep: Cat tree Favorite Toy: I like any kind of small toy that I can throw around Perfect Day: Laying around with some occasional love on my terms Kitty's Likes: Loves chin scratches and ear rubs, also butt rubs Kitty's Dislikes: being held for very long - don't like you to walk away when you are giving me love - I give a little swat to let you know I want you to keep going Fastest Way to Get Me to Purr: Butt rubs Favorite Treat: Temptations Job Title in Foster: Mama When I Grow Up, I Want to Be: Queen Good with Cats: Ambivalent towards cats.                            Good with Dogs: Does not care for dogs.

Since I am active, I need a place to explore and room to play. I enjoy my scratching tree and like to dangle from the top like a monkey. I might be a little shy and reserved at first, but I will warm up quickly with some playtime with you as I learn that I can trust you. I have been with other kitty friends and I will hiss when they get too close, but I enjoy playing with them under the door or from a distance. I do love to cuddle in my foster sisters lap and just hang out under the covers. I also like to wait by the door for you come in.
