Story
Morad is a 4-year-old male domesticated cat. He is very curious, loyal, and friendly towards his owners but tends to be shy around strangers. He is completely healthy with no medical issues, although he sometimes experiences anxiety, which I believe is normal for cats. He is incredibly cute, with a white neck, chest, and paws. I am looking for a new home for Morad because, as a young single student, I lack the stability to properly care for him. I recently moved into a smaller place with four other roommates and have struggled to convince the landlord to allow pets. Although it’s a difficult decision, I need to find a new, loving home for Morad.

Story
Oreo is a very sweet boy but he's very shy! He needs a nice quiet home that's patient with him and willing to give him the time he needs to come out of his shell. When he was younger he was fostered by a lady and her small daughter. He absolutely loved the little girl but she was very allergic. So he had to come here to the rescue. He likes having safe spaces that are quiet and enclosed to hide in. He is more of the personality that he will come to you when he is ready so he needs a family who understands that.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out ! Morelia had a rough start in life and was a mom cat herself fending for her and her babies. She was very timid and fearful but then they came into Amazing Strays. All her babies have now found forever homes. She does well with people once you earn her trust with yummy treats. She would do best in a quieter home with another cat and no dogs. She does fine with the older kids in the home. Morelia has always been on the shy, timid side. She does hide when uncomfortable. Once she's comfortable with you, she will jump up on the bed or sofa and ask for pets. She loves being petted! Then the biscuit making begins. Morelia will do best in a house with another cat about her age. She feels comfortable with one of my personal cats, and likes to hang out with her. She is an incredibly sweet cat who will need a very special person willing to give her lots of love and pets. Adoption fee for Morelia is $150 and  includes FVRCP vaccine, FIV/FELV testing, spay/neuter surgery, deworming, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate) and microchip. Please fill out our application HERE if you interested in meeting or adopting this cat and we will be in touch right away!
