My name is Lucille and I am looking for a forever home where I can be spoiled in my old age. I am the sweetest little love bug you ever did meet, once I get to know you! I can be a little selective but I love people. I need my space, and short pets because I can get overstimulated pretty easily. Please come in and meet me- You'll be sure to fall in love quickly.

I may be an older lady but I still have plenty of spunk. I love a good play time and enjoy my night time zoomies, but I'll never miss an opportunity to nap on your lap. I'm low maintenance as I keep myself well groomed and use the litter box. I'll come up and give you a pat or a quiet meow when I want pets, but otherwise you can find me basking in the sun, looking out a window, or exploring the house.

Heya, I'm Donato! I am such a laidback dude who wants nothing more than to receive affection for the rest of my days! I would be a good fit for most homes, though it is always a good idea to do slow introductions when animals meet. I am also FIV+ so ask my adoption counselor friends about what that means.My adoption fee has been sponsored.

Story
I was a stray in a colony of cats. Most of them were scaredy cats, but I am not at all. I am very loving, and want to be loved and petted. I have a flea allergy, so it has been rough having to live outside. My gorgeous black and brown fur is growing back and I just love for my person to pet me and hold me. I am quite the talker and will hold an hour long conversation with you especially when you're not paying me any attention!! I hope to have a forever family who will value me as a member of the family.

My name is Maggie. I was a mom to 4 beautiful baby boys who have all found their forever home. I gave birth to them outside. When they were 3 days old a nice lady came and brought us into her house. I love it inside! I use the litter box. I get along easily with other kitties and tolerate dogs well. I'm a nice cat and I LOVE other cats but I don't allow my people to pet me very often. I prefer to watch. I love to watch my foster mom work in the kitchen and around the house! I'm told my behavior will make it more difficult to find me a home. I want to go to a home with at least one other cat. I'm looking for a place I can happily live and continue to learn to trust. I just need a family with patience a big heart! Is that you?

Story
I was born at a cat collector's house. That may sound crazy, but she really is. She decided that she would let us go to a home, along with some others. I am very thankful that I was able to get out and have the opportunity to find a home. I am a sweetie. I love to play. I will play with anything that I find interesting. I love feather toys and balls that crunch. If you want to adopt me, here is a link to apply. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POMH/Cat

I came from an area where people drop off cats and kittens in the country. If you have never had a black cat before, you might be in for a treat. Black cats are not only beautiful, but we have great personalities. I am a sweet girl who is ready for a home of her own. I am playful and lots of fun. I will be a great companion for you.

Story
I acquired this cat from a friend who was living in Franklin at the time. My roommate and I have had him since October 31 trying to find someone to foster him but have had no success! We don’t know many details about him, but he is not chipped, not neutered, and roughly about a year old we guess. He is mostly to completely blind, but so intelligent and gets around very well! He is super sweet and a big cuddle bug. He does fairly well with other cats, specifically females. He has butt heads with my male cat and caused my male cat to be extremely stressed out which is largely why we are looking to rehome him. He is SUPER food motivated with no boundaries regarding taking food as well as playing too hard with other cats at times. He could really use some extra love and care to help discipline him with this. My roommate do not have the time or ability to provide this and would LOVE to rehome him asap!!
