Story
Rebel is a beautiful 5-year-old cat- white with patches of brown tabby. She is very sweet and loves to be pet but isn't fond of being picked up and held. Rebel knows her name, and if she isn't fast asleep, will give a chirp or come running when she hears it! She does get nervous during storms and has a spot in one of the hallways she stays tucked in during them. She also loves playing with her toys, especially anything on a string or with feathers. She'd make a wonderful addition to any loving home. Rebel would do best as an only cat. She has met a few dogs that were curious but respectful and didn't mind them very much.We are looking for a foster home, permanent foster, or adopter for sweet Rebel. She has been diagnosed with asthma. She takes a puff of her inhaler twice daily and does very well with it! She will need a family willing to continue this treatment.Rebel's adoption fee has been kindly sponsored by a wonderful donor!

Story
This chill guy is Joey! He came to us from local animal control and is now ready to find a loving forever home to cherish him! He is around 6 years old and is a big guy, weighing 20 pounds. He enjoys pets and watching his surroundings. He loves to plop down beside you and just be near you. Joey doesn't seem to mind most other cats and sometimes will even play with them. If another cat is grumpy with him, he tends to run away or hide under something as he's not a fan of conflict. Joey is currently on a bit of a weight loss journey, so he is hoping to find someone that can continue with his diet and work on his activity.-Joey is FIV+. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is spread to other cats through deep-muscular bite wounds or sometimes in utero. It is not contagious to dogs or humans. Cat friendly cats with FIV can live with other cats who are negative for FIV as long as both are friendly. It is crucial that FIV cats remain indoors only and are kept up to date on vaccines. Most FIV+ cats can live normal lives.

Story
Ricky is a handsome 6.5-year-old male who was returned to us when his owners could no longer care for him. He is very sweet and cuddly. He loves to be pet and carried around but he also loves to play with his toys, especially any toy on a string. Ricky is looking for a foster or foster to adopt home, as he has some medical needs (he’s currently on special urinary food and takes a medication once daily). Ricky needs to be the only cat in the home and no children. He has met a few different dogs and done well! He does spray with the other cats being around at the shelter, but this was not reported in his past home. Ricky’s adoption fee has been sponsored by a wonderful volunteer!

Story
Meet Tony, a charming white and grey cat who was surrendered to local animal control. He is mostly white with just a splotch of grey on his head and a beautiful grey gradient on his tail. Tony is a vocal dude who meows at us for attention. We don't mind though, as it's hard to say no to that sweet round face! He will jump up onto your chest for attention, so you have to be ready to catch him. Tony is looking for a home as an only cat. He has started to spray with all the other cats around, although he hadn't been for the first month of being at the shelter.

Story
Draco (and sister Aurora, who much be taken together) were adopted from a barn cat birth in Wisconsin. They are 2 years old now. He is a large cat with a small head, has kept his sweet kitten voice, and is incredibly affectionate. He is playful, bold, outgoing, and absolutely loves people. He is incredible good with small kids (2-3 year olds). He’s a star as the vet and travels well. He would get along with our other cats in the home, but his sister is more reserved and so we believe they should go together.

Story
Aurora (and her brother Draco, who need to be adopted together) were adopted from a barn cat litter in Wisconsin. She’s 2 years old now. She incredibly sweet and affectionate once you earn her trust. She can start a little shy and wary, but warms up quickly. She does struggle at the vet and needs to be medicated, but with medication (will provide list of meds when adopted) she does well. She tolerates young kids, but appreciates a spot where she can get away from the noise and take some alone time. She’s good with her litter box and very playful once you get her trusting you. She’s an incredibly kind cat and loves calm quiet adults.
