Story
Chloe and Gus
At under a year old, Chloe and her brother,Gus, were found homeless in a parking lot - eating scraps and begging for food from passersby. They were finally scooped up by a concerned citizen and are now available to you as the perfect cat starter pack! They love playing with each other and love their humans too! Chloe is a sweet, doe-eyed girl with the cutest little bobtail. She is very poised, and always camera ready. Nothing makes her happier than curling up on a blanket with you. Gus is just a big, tabby teddy bear. Cuddly, curious, and ready to be your best bud. He follows you wherever you go. Chloe and Gus are affectionate, easy-going cats who would do well in just about any environment - including with other cats, kids, or dogs. They are currently being fostered in Huntsville, AL, with transport available to your area. They are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to make themselves at home in YOUR home. If you think you have the perfect place for Chloe and Gus, please submit an application at https://forrescue.net/cat-application/. They are waiting to meet you!

Story
Here’s Herbie, my beautiful, smart 3 year old cat. I adopted him two and a half years ago from a shelter in New Fairfield. He loves to snuggle. He and I have spent lots of time together with him on my chest or on my legs, purring away. He waits for me at the door when I go out. Herbie loves food and I have been able to teach him a couple of tricks using the clicker method and rewarding him with treats. He needs lots of attention. He likes to play; for example, to chase down plastic spring-y toys. But doesn’t like anyone to touch his feet and he hates being in the car. Although most of the time he is a loving, lovable pet, Herbie bites, which is why I’m sadly giving him up.
