Story
Falafel is a timid 3-year-old cat brought to us recently via local animal control. He was picked up as a stray and as such can be a little jumpy with new sounds and situations. He is absolutely adorable, wanting pets all over and is comfortable being held. At this time, he isn't all that interested in playing, choosing to spend his time snuggling up to whatever affection you are willing to give. He can be overwhelmed a bit at first, and the dogs he's seen have stressed him out, so he would probably do best in a home without them. With some love and understanding, there's no reason he wouldn't be a wonderful addition to a family!

Story
Hi there, I'm Legend and I am 9 months old. I am a darling white and black kitten who came to TAPS from a nearby animal control. I am an adventurous fellow who loves to climb to the top of a cat tower or chase down toys. I do well playing or just chilling with the other cats in my open cat room. With people, I am comfortable, affectionate, and chatter sweetly or paw legs to get attention. I am very social and like both cat and human companionship. I am eager to find my forever home! If you think I might be the right fit for your family, please fill out that online application today so we can meet!! Let's find out if we are that perfect match!

Story
O, Rodeo, Rodeo, wherefore art thou Rodeo? You can find this fella yee-hawing around our cat room, keeping busy with his toys or looking for trouble. Rodeo is a 1.5-year-old tabby mix who is seeking the company of a nice l'il lady or gentleman, no children or pets. When faced with dogs, he gets to be all hissing and growling and plays a little too rough for other cats. He sure does like his head pats, but gets a little feisty when he's had enough. Rodeo is a very busy, active guy who would do best as an only cat in a home with someone who will leave him to do his own thing with plenty of enrichment toys!

Story
Hi there, I'm Summer and I am 8 years old. I am a pretty tuxedo with gorgeous green eyes. I was adopted from TAPS as a kitten and recently picked up as a stray by animal control with no response from my former human... Understandably, I am confused...quiet and reserved. I do enjoy some gentle pets and scratches or being talked and once I get to know you, I am quite friendly and sweet. I just need a little patience. I also like a window to sun myself in or a cat tree to climb and a bit of catnip or some treats. If you're willing to go slow and open your heart to a girl who's had a rough road and who could use a bit of extra love, please fill out an online application to come meet me. Maybe I could be your forever best friend and you could be my true forever family.

Story
Tunes! What can we say about Tunes except he is one in a million?! Tunes was a bitty baby last summer when he wound up in the home of a shelter foster mom who bottle-fed him and his siblings. Sadly, they were plagued with health problems and Tunes was the only survivor. He spent the first half of his life fighting for it, with continuous respiratory and eye issues. Happily, he has grown out of most of those issues but may still need an occasional antibiotic for eye flare-ups. None of that stops him from being the sass-bag we at the shelter have all come to learn and love! He is funny, and pushy for love, but isn't always so sure how to respond to that love. Staff describes him as playful, affectionate, and aloof, and we honestly can't think of any better words to describe him! He is currently living in one of our open cat rooms, where he gets along with most of his roommates.

Story
Hi there, I'm Cam and I am 2 years old. I am a darling boy, all black and sleek. I came to TAPS from a local animal control where I was picked up as a stray and sadly never reclaimed. I am a friendly guy with a big purr. I enjoy toys, especially the feather wand kind when my human friends play with me. I won't turn down treats or canned food and I really like a cat tree to climb and hanging out with my people for pets and company. If you think that I might be that match for you, please fill out an online application so we can get together and find out if I belong at home with you!
