Story
Meet Compton – our resident silver fox and professional lap warmer. At 10 years old, this charming gentleman has been through it all and come out purring. When Compton was first rescued around Thanksgiving, he was in very rough shape—emaciated, covered in mange, fleas, and ringworm, and frankly, no one was sure if he’d pull through. But with time, love, and a whole lot of canned food, he made an incredible comeback. After a complicated dental and the discovery that he’s allergic to kibble (which likely contributed to his original condition), Compton is now thriving on a wet food–only diet and living his best life. Despite all he's been through, Compton is such an easy going guy and is the ultimate lap cat. If you sit down, don’t be surprised if he appears out of nowhere to settle in on your lap like he was born for it (spoiler: he was). He loves people, has never met a stranger, and can easily adjust to just about any home. Wanting a cat you can pick up and cuddle? He's your guy! He makes friends where ever he goes. Even his vet office fell in love with him! He's still playful too—wand toys and fuzzy balls are his jam! He’s also, quite frankly, a hungry hippo. This boy loves his food. Like, really loves it. Counter-surfing? Yes. Meal time enthusiasm? Off the charts. But hey, after everything he’s been through, we think he’s earned it. Compton is fine with other chill cats who respect his space—he’s not into being pounced on or chased by young whippersnappers. He’ doesn't love dogs, but could likely adjust to a calm, cat-friendly one who gave him space. If you’ve got a warm lap, a stocked supply of canned food, and a heart big enough to welcome this resilient, affectionate sweetheart, Compton is ready to claim his spot in your home (and on your couch). Compton has had a full dental, bloodwork, xrays, and an ultrasound, all of which say he's a healthy guy with lots of years and love left to give! Though he's currently on a prescription renal diet, our vet suspects he'll be able to switch back to normal senior cat food in a few months. We'll send you home with a case to get you started. (He's also neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed.) To meet Compton, please submit an adoption application.

Story
Meet Leo and Luna, the dynamic duo of feline companionship. This bonded pair of Bengal cats, aged 7 and 10, radiate warmth and affection wherever they go. Despite finding themselves in need of a new home due to their owner's transition to assisted living, Leo and Luna remain as sweet and loving as ever. These majestic kitties have a taste for the finer things in life, especially when it comes to their diet. With their sleek coats they thrive on high-quality protein food, ensuring they stay healthy and happy for years to come. Leo and Luna are true sun worshippers, basking in the golden rays of sunshine whenever they can. Whether curled up together on a cozy perch or exploring the great indoors, they find joy in each other's company and the simple pleasures of life. With their gentle demeanor and affectionate nature, Leo and Luna are sure to capture the hearts of their new family, bringing warmth and companionship to any home lucky enough to welcome them. They would do best in a quiet home without young children. Could you help give these sweet kitties a home? If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/cat-adoption-application/  Leo and Luna are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted together. The adoption fee of $200 for both kitties will help defray the costs of the spay/neuter, vaccinations and vetting. ##2016204##

Story
Meet Mr. Jones, a lively and curious 3-year-old cat cat who has a big personality and makes his presence known in the best way. He loves lounging in sunny spots, gazing out the window, and is always ready for playtime. Friendly and outgoing, Mr. Jones never hesitates to greet new people and will happily welcome friends visiting your home. He’s also very food motivated, which makes training and bonding even easier, especially if treats are involved! While he didn’t mesh well with our current cat (mostly due to our cat’s shy behavior), Mr. Jones has previously lived peacefully with other cats and even loved taking cat naps with them! He would likely do best with another cat close to his age or as the only cat in the home. He’s also good with dogs when properly introduced and would be great in a home with children. Mr. Jones is a energetic, social kitty ready to find his forever home, maybe with you?
