Story
Hello there. I'm Fluffy, a 14 years young Tabby with some orange Tortie coloring down my back. I am currently hanging out with a nice foster who has helped me recover from upper respiratory and the stress of being in a shelter after losing my long-time owner. I'm a very loving, affectionate girl who likes nothing more than to sit in your lap while you scratch my head and chin. I'm not sure about other cats and have not been around dogs. I would do best in a low activity home. I will require a restricted diet for my sensitive tummy but Safe Place will provide a starter bag of food to help with that. My $100 adoption donation includes FVRCP, Rabies, Microchip, and a recent vet exam. I've also been tested for FeLV/FIV and Heartworm which were negative. Complete an application on our website. www.safeplacepets.org to arrange a meet n greet with the foster today!

Story
Hello, I`m Bobo! A sweet lad with a thirst for the outdoors, I would love safe supervised access to it once I have fully acclimated to my new home. I`ll let you know when I want to go in or out, too, because I`m a chatty guy and a great communicator. Please be patient with me while I adjust to my new surroundings, though, because they can be a little scary at first!

Hello, I`m Corduroy! I am a little on the timid side, so it took me some time to open up to people here, but with lots of love and patience the staff and volunteers have helped me learn to trust again. I may need time to open up in my new home, and a quiet sanctuary room will help me do this. Ask staff for more information about the 3-3-3 rule!*PS: I can be adopted with my pal Jorf (A1764847), with a 2-for-1 adoption fee, but this is not required!*

Story
AMBASSADOR; NOT IN SHELTERTemeraire is shy with first introductions but adores attention once he gets to know you. He often greets familiar faces with happy tail flicks and head bonks. He loves to be pet, and will purr like crazy when getting butt scritches. He would thrive in a home that has other cats; he loves playing with his sister, Rayla, as well as the resident cats in his foster home. He is curious about dogs, but hasn`t socialized with them extensively, nor has he been around children. He is very active and playful; his favorite toys are paper towel balls, catnip mice, and jingle balls. Temeraire is very food motivated-he is fond of Churu treats, Temptations crunchy treats, and canned Friskies wet food. When relaxing, he loves to sit on your lap or nearby, quietly observing; he prefers this over being picked up. He would do great in a home that is willing to be patient with him while he gains confidence and transitions from a quiet, little shadow to a loving, little cuddle bug. You can contact his foster mom, Kristi, at kraney@uccs.edu or by text 719-757-8310 with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet at the shelter.

Story
Tessa is a gorgeous 4-year-old Bengal/tabby mix with the perfect balance of Bengal boldness and tabby sweetness. She’s curious, playful, and loves to explore, but is also affectionate and loyal with her favorite humans. Her absolute favorite thing? Playtime! She’s always ready to chase, pounce and bat at toys, especially when you’re involved. She’s smart too — she loves treat puzzles and interactive play. She even likes drinking from the faucet, so a cat fountain in her new home would make her day! When she’s ready for affection, she’ll let you know with her soft meows. She enjoys lap time while her foster mom works, soaking up pets and cuddles — though, like many cats, she’ll tell you when she’s had enough. Tessa’s start in life was a little rocky, but in her calm foster home she’s truly thriving and showing her big personality. She absolutely loves her foster mom, but prefers to be the center of attention without other cats around. Here are a some more cute videos: https://youtu.be/rAWgo24Ax8A?feature=shared https://youtu.be/SX_eWpacTgc?feature=shared https://youtu.be/z6KmTEjVQNE?feature=shared Tessa is looking for: An adopter who’s home often and loves interactive play and cuddle time Someone who knows and appreciates Bengal traits and respects her boundaries A home where she’s the only pet (she wants you all to herself!) A calm, loving, kid-free home Tessa is sweet, sassy, playful, and affectionate — everything you could want in a one-and-only cat. Could she be the perfect match you’ve been waiting for? Tessa is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped and she’s ready to bring fun, affection and beauty into the right home. Her adoption fee is $125. If you’re searching for a companion with a Bengal’s adventurous spirit mixed with a tabby’s loyal heart, Tessa could be your perfect match. https://www.fromforgottentoforever.com/catadoptionapplication/

Athena and Freya are a playful and affectionate bonded pair, around 6-months old. Theyre spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and eager for a forever family. Freya is energetic and curious, always wanting to be where the action is. Shell curl up with you,whether youre playing games or doing chores, and is always the first at the door when you come home. Theyd prefer to be the only pets in the house (reptiles included, as Ive learned 😅), and do well with older kids. Loves laser pointers, wand toys of all kinds, cat grass, bird plushies, and pretty much anything chicken flavored. Can be adopted for a single rehoming fee of $100. MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER.

Story
His owner passed away recently and Scrappy was her baby. he loves other animals, playing and being petted on the belly. My 3 cats are incredibly territorial and it has become an unsafe place for him. He loves soft food as he was recently introduced to it and enjoys treats. He has had a very tough time and is just a goofy sweet boy.
