Story
Age: 3 years Size: MediumGood with young kids: NoGood with older kids: Best in a home with no children or children are quiet and very respectful of her spaceGood with other pets: May do best as the only catIndoor only: Yes Meet Grace! Grace arrived in our care as an unclaimed stray. Grace is currently in a foster home. Here is what her foster family says about her: `Miss Grace spends most of her time in my spare room. She does sneak out from time to time. She is really sweet, but she gets startled very easily. She likes attention but is easily frightened. I think she will do well in a house as the only kitty. She may do best in an older person`s home.` Her foster family also says that Grace will occasionally get brave enough to jump onto the bed and roll over on her back to show her tummy!

River and Smoke's Story This pair is in foster care!! Fill out an application if interested in meeting them!! https://mynewcat.org/adopt-a-cat/adoption-application/ Smoke (1 year old) (MoMo, Mo, Mur) came in as a terrified stray, but he always had a soft spot for love. He’s a vocal kitty who will happily “mur” his way through a conversation—hence the nickname. Smoke is goofy, playful, loves pets, and occasionally likes to be a shoulder “parrot” while being held. He plays well with other cats, is curious about dogs, and does best with a slow introduction to kids. He enjoys being around children and their toys but can get startled when things get loud. Smoke dreams of a forever home with his sister, where there are plenty of cat trees, spots to climb, places to explore, and a cozy bed or couch to cuddle on. He does have a grade 2 heart murmur, but it’s mild and simply something to keep an eye on during routine vet visits. River (7 months old) is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy. Found in the engine block of a car at just over a pound, she has overcome every challenge thrown her way. She helped Smoke gain confidence and continues to bring out the best in him. True to a curious kitten, River has to be involved in everything happening around the house. If she’s there, Smoke is never far behind. River loves to be held and petted, and she’ll play with anything she can bat around with one paw—pens, hair ties, bobby pins, cat toys, even her 4-year-old human sister’s toys (her favorites). She’s wonderful with children and fits right into their activities, whether being pushed in a doll stroller or helping turn pages during story time. River also plays well with other cats and is curious about dogs, so a slow introduction would suit her best. She hopes for a warm, loving home with plenty of cuddle space on the couch or bed. Together, Smoke and River’s favorite activity is racing and playing on the stairs—while not required, they think stairs are a bonus. Their favorite toy is a simple cardboard box with a few small plastic items inside

She is a bit shy, but she is braver every day! She loves to be brushed and loves a good hard kibble treat. No Churu for this girl. Once she knows you, she is very friendly and would thrive in a home of her own as other animals stress her out.

She would love a home with no other pets and likely no small children so that she can reign supreme. Other animals stress her out. She is a very loving cat that would do best with a household that plays with her regularly. She loves a good string toy and will chase throw toys.

Meet Ori Ori is a super loving friendly little lady who just turned 3! Unfortunately Ori has advanced kidney disease. She's on special food and needs to be monitored for any changes in appetite or energy levels. We are looking for a forever home for Ori, so that she can be in a loving home for whatever time she has. A bonus would be someone who is comfortable doing subcu fluids at home, in case her disease advances. Ori is great with other animals but must have access to only her prescription food. Please fill out the adoption application if interested in becoming Ori's forever family! www.mynewcat.org

Meet miss Felony! She is a beautiful Tortoiseshell cat who loves to be in your space. Whenever we wake up, she’s on the pillow above us. Whenever we walk to the kitchen, she’s at our feet. Whenever we go to the bathroom, she’s there to keep us company. We love her amazing personality so much! Just not in a position to have another cat right now.
