Story
Meet Mariposa, a senior cat with a heart of gold. Mariposa is a sweet female cat originally presented to the SPCA with a history of injury; evaluation determined that a right front limb amputation would provide her with the best long-term comfort and quality of life. Mariposa tolerated the procedure extremely well and has made a fantastic recovery. She is a gentle, affectionate girl with a great temperament. Despite her initial timidity, Mariposa blossoms into a friendly soul once she feels secure. Her serene presence makes her an ideal companion for someone seeking a calm and loving friend. Mariposa's tender spirit and readiness to love make her the perfect addition to a peaceful home, promising to enrich the lives of those who choose to adopt her.I am eligible for Foster to Adopt! Please speak to a SPCA staff member for more information. Primary Color: Black Weight: 8.7 Age: 12yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Looking for double the love and double the purrs? Meet Macho and Nacho, two incredibly sweet, all-black brother cats who are ready to find their forever home – together. These handsome 8-year-old boys are the definition of gentle souls. They’ve spent their whole lives side by side, and their bond is unbreakable. Whether they’re curled up in a sunbeam, grooming each other, or softly purring by your side, Macho and Nacho will fill your home with love, calm, and quiet joy.They enjoy the company of people and are easy going. Nacho is the more outgoing of the two but they both enjoy petting, brushing and playing with cat toys. They’re affectionate, mellow, and easy-going – perfect for someone looking for loving companionship without the chaos of kittens. They do best in a calm environment, and would thrive in a home without other pets, where they can be the center of your world (and your couch). Already neutered, litter trained, and full of heart – all these sweet brothers need is a second chance and a safe place to call home. Could Macho and Nacho be your perfect pair?

Story
Hello there! My name is Seabiscuit. And I guess my middle name is Adorable, as that is what everyone who meets me calls me. You must admit I am pretty darn cute. I also am super sweet, affectionate, friendly, people-oriented, and a ton of fun. Like a race horse, I sprint and race around, running fast from here to there and from toy to toy. I am one playful feline, who will entertain you for hours. I also love to explore and I am a good climber and jumper. I have a great joie de vie, so expect lots of joy from me. As much as I like playing-and play is more fun when myhuman joins in--, I really love to snuggle and enjoy a nice nap on my person's lapor just cuddling. I reward petting with purrs. If you are looking for a feline who is precious as can be, has a great personality, and is sweet and fun and will be a loving, loyal companion, well you just found her. And in adopting me, you are a real winner, because you get a great bonus-my fantastic brother Secretariat. He is a sweet, fun, affectionate, playful guy. We are bonded siblings who need to be together. And the wonderful thing is that you get double the joy, double the love and double the fun. And, you get both of us for the price of one kitten. Just $150 for the two of us. What a deal! So, hurry in and take us home before someone else does. Primary Color: Calico Weight: 1.8 Age: 0yrs 0mths 11wks

Story
Finn is 4 and a half years years old. He is extremely cute and knows it. His version of cuddling is being near and reaching out a paw to touch you. He can be timid but loves people, especially if they play with him and give him treats. Unfortunately, he does not get along with my other 2 cats and lately it has gotten worse - he actively hunts them. I've come to this decision after trying many things to include separation, enrichment, pheromones, and medication. Nothing has worked and it has gotten to the point that it's unfair to Finn too since he's always getting in trouble. He would do well as the only cat/pet. He truly is a sweetheart - purrs, gives kisses, greets you when you come home, etc. I'm utterly heartbroken but hope to find him a home he can flourish in. Thank you for your consideration.
