Story
Watson was found outside our President's house yelling for help (nightly!). She had recently rescued another cat named Sherlock when he showed up injured on her doorstep. Watson wanted his own bit of the good life and was determined to get it. Of course, she gave in to that precious face. He's now used to being a spoiled indoor cat after his year on the streets and is ready to settle down. He's 1 year old, vaccinated, neutered, and negative for FELV and FIV. He's playful but has a chill vibe. Although he likes to talk. We recommend he only live with older kids as he is still learning his manners. He's good with other cats but we haven't seen him with dogs yet. Mellow dogs will prob be OK! Reach out to us or apply online at www.ruffpatches.org/adoptions.

Story
Sherlock, the feline detective, appeared mysteriously at our President’s residence, spying on her other fur babies through the sliding glass door like the playful, curious critter he is! Now, he's scavenging for a case of his own - a new forever home. Sherlock has finally embraced the sweet, sweet life he deserves – complete with a full inspection of his gadgets by the vet! He’s been neutered, vaccinated, tested for FELV/FIV (negative, phew!), and even microchipped (just in case he goes undercover). This frisky fellow has rubbed whiskers with other cats but is yet to sniff out his compatibility with dogs. Always one to stay on his paws, our energetic investigator may not be the best partner in crime for small humans. Could you be the Watson to his Holmes? Visit www.ruffpatches.org/adoptions to apply for fostering or adopting this handsome inspector today! Your very own thrilling adventure awaits!

Story
**Meet Castiel, Our Brave Explorer! 🐾** Castiel’s story begins with a grand and courageous step. One day, this charming and adventurous boy showed up on our President’s porch, hungry and seeking help. From the moment we met him, we knew Castiel had a special spark. His resilient spirit, playful personality, and boundless curiosity made it impossible not to fall in love. Now safe in our care, Castiel is thriving and discovering the joys of indoor life. Though he’s still learning his kitty etiquette (hey, napkin folding takes time!), he’s made incredible progress and keeps us laughing with his goofy antics. This outgoing fellow has a knack for turning every moment into an adventure, whether it’s chasing a toy, lounging in the sun, or exploring a new cozy nook. Castiel is looking for a home where he can live his best solo-cat life. While he may not enjoy sharing the spotlight with other feline friends, he’s a loyal companion with plenty of love to give. His interactions with dogs are still a mystery, but his FIV-positive status doesn’t slow him down one bit! He’s proof that FIV+ cats deserve just as much love and can lead long, happy lives. This special boy is ready to put his adventurous days behind him and settle into the perfect forever home. Could it be yours? If you’re looking for a playful and loving companion to add endless joy to your life, Castiel might just be the one. 💖 **Are you ready to give Castiel his happily-ever-after? Contact us today to meet this incredible explorer and make him part of your family.**

Story
Tuxie is a Tuxedo cat born in early 2020. She's pretty independent and a bit shy, but she LOVES stick-and-feather toys and can get along well with other cats, provided she's given ample time to get to know them. She also loves sleeping on beds, and likes watching people work (she loves hanging out with my dad and watching him work on his computer!) For some context, she is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years. We are downsizing and cannot afford to care for all of them anymore, however dearly we care for them. Please contact for more details.

Story
Jeeves (or Jeevesy) is a little tuxedo guy, born in the Spring of 2023 alongside his sister Sniffy. He's very shy, and thus, very camera shy! Hence the few good photos we have of him. Despite his shyness, he's very curious, and is always the first to jump on a toy once he sees one (his favorites are feathers on strings/sticks). He might take a little time to get used to being in a new place, but give him time to acclimate and he would be an amazing little playmate! May need additional support for potty training. For some context, he is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years. We are downsizing and cannot afford to care for all of them anymore, however dearly we care for them. We don't want to profit off of them, we just want to find them loving forever homes, hence the low adoption fee. Please contact for any further details.

Story
Grumpy is a 5 year old cow cat, born in early 2020. True to her name, she's a bit spicy, and tends to keep to herself. She may need additional attention to care because of her temperament, and I recommend her for an owner experienced with cats like her. Despite being more independent, she LOVES her sister, Marie, and I think she would adapt best if they were adopted together. For some context, she is one of many cats I and my family are currently trying to rehome. My late mother had an unfortunate habit of taking on any cat she could in her last few years. We are downsizing and cannot afford to care for all of them anymore, however dearly we care for them. We do not want to profit on them, only find them loving homes, hence the low fee.
