Story
Life-long bonded pair with his brother Shaggy (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/44352246-windsor-heights-iowa-cat). Winston is an energetic and curious 4-year-old orange Domestic Shorthair, adopted at 6 months old from Happy Tales Ranch & Rescue. He has spent his life indoors, happily adjusting to both apartment and house environments. Winston is playful and lively, often exploring his surroundings. While he can initially be a bit reserved and independent, Winston reveals his affectionate side once comfortable, becoming loving and cuddly with his trusted humans. He appreciates both companionship and his own space, making him an excellent fit for homes seeking a cat with a balanced personality.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Mrs. Buttersworth! 🍯🐾 This sweet, squishy tabby girl has a story that will melt your heart. About three years old, Mrs. Buttersworth was rescued from the middle of I-35 where she was desperately trying to climb onto a concrete barrier to safety. Her poor little paws were raw, and her nails worn down to nubs—but despite her rough start, she’s shown nothing but love and gratitude ever since. Mrs. B is a true people-cat. She adores cuddles, naps with her humans, and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. Don’t let her round figure fool you—she still enjoys playtime and batting at toys! And yes, she loves her treats and isn’t shy about reminding you when it’s snack time. She does fine with calm, respectful dogs but would really prefer to be someone’s one-and-only feline queen. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart (and an even bigger purr), Mrs. Buttersworth is your girl. ✨ Ready to let this syrup-sweet tabby pour a little love into your life? ✨
