Story
Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Penny! Coming to the shelter was a little bit scary&#44 but now that I am getting settled&#44 Iandamp;#39;m making new friends. Iandamp;#39;m in a big&#44 sunny playroom with several other cats&#44 which is really nice. There are places where I can retreat to when things get busy and overwhelming&#44 but when it is quiet I like to come out and play and see what person has come to spend time with us. My idea of the perfect home would be a quiet home with someone who gets me&#44 willing to be patient and give me the time I need to feel comfortable. If there is another cat there who would like to be friends&#44 that would be just fine&#44 we could snuggle and nap together. If you are looking for a quiet companion to keep you company&#44 please come and see about me!

Hey there - the nameandamp;#39;s Mable!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;You might have already heard of me... I like to think Iandamp;#39;m the coolest cat on the block&#44 and my friends here would have to agree. I donandamp;#39;t really know why Iandamp;#39;m back at the shelter again&#44 but I guess my owners werenandamp;#39;t able to look after me any longer&#44 so I am here waiting for my new family to see me for the true beauty I am. Iandamp;#39;m the perfect mix of playful and relaxed&#44 meaning I know how to have a good time&#44 but Iandamp;#39;m also more than happy to fly solo when weandamp;#39;re done. I can be a bit shy around new people&#44 but I warm up pretty quickly and then Iandamp;#39;ll be ready to chill with you! Isnandamp;#39;t my coat gorgeous? I think my stripes are fitting for a brave and playful girl like me. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Please come by and meet me today!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love&#44andlt;br/andgt;Mable

Story
Hey&#44 Mugsy Mahomes here. As you can tell from my rugged good looks&#44 I used to be a man about town. Now I am ready to settle down and be a homebody. A kind family made sure that I ate every day and brought me to the shelter so I could find permanent digs to call home. Iandamp;#39;ve been around the block a couple of times&#44 so I am cautious when meeting new people. However&#44 once we are well acquainted&#44 I love to crawl into your lap for pets and cuddles. Too much activity makes me nervous&#44 so I would appreciate a quiet home. Due to my previous adventures&#44 I am FIV positive. I do get along with other cats&#44 so I could live in a home with another cat as long as they donandamp;#39;t pick a fight and I have to defend myself&#44 or a home with another FIV positive cat. If you donandamp;#39;t have a cat already&#44 thatandamp;#39;s ok&#44 I would be happy to receive all the love and attention you have to give! Look into my eyes and you will see my soul. Look deeply into my eyes.....

Hi guys! My name is Anne. Iandamp;#39;m 11 years young . Iandamp;#39;m very sweet and shy but definitely love attention when I get to know you. Iandamp;#39;m not a big fan of other cats so I would need a home where I am the queen. Iandamp;#39;d love to find a home where I can live out my senior years in peace with lots of love to give you.

Oh! I almost didnandamp;#39;t see you there&#44 my name is Louise.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a shy&#44 quiet kind of gal that might take a little while to warm up. I was transferred to Great Plains SPCA from another shelter&#44 which brought quite a bit of chaos to my world. But Iandamp;#39;m slowly learning that the staff here are incredibly kind&#44 and Iandamp;#39;ve started coming out to visit my favorite people.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;What would really help me adjust to your home is another cat! Whether that be one of my current friends in the Sun Room&#44 or one of your own&#44 I thrive around other confident cats that can show me the ropes. I currently have a best friend named Thelma that I love to cuddle with. Given some time&#44 Iandamp;#39;m sure Iandamp;#39;d learn to love your own kitties just as much.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I think thatandamp;#39;s all I need to add! I sure hope you come visit me soon.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Soft Paws&#44andlt;br/andgt;Louise

Hi&#44 my name is Kinleigh&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m a 2 year old petite female kitty looking for a quiet forever home. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Youandamp;#39;ll find me curled up in my favorite hidey in the cattery. I prefer to watch the world from my spot of safety&#44 since I can be a bit shy. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m looking for a family with a quiet home. Dogs and little kids can be a bit too much excitement for me. But cats? Theyandamp;#39;re cool. My roommate at the shelter is another cat&#44 and we keep each other company.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;If I sound like I could be a good fit for you&#44 donandamp;#39;t wait! Iandamp;#39;ll be here waiting!

Story
Hi! My name is Georgia. I'm very pretty and very friendly, but I've got a bad food allergy that causes me to be itchy and groom myself too much. The shelter is helping me figure out what I can eat, but it seems like I'll need to be on a very specific diet (possibly forever). Please feel free to call, email, or stop by the shelter if you'd like to meet with me in person!

Story
Meet Freddie, the four-legged firecracker with a personality that's as bold as they come! She isn't your average cat - she's a whirlwind of charm, wrapped up in a furry package that's impossible to resist. Freddie is passionate about her wet food and really enjoys being petted. She is an absolute purring machine! She loves getting allll the attention and will snuggle up into her foster mom's lap to take a nice nap. Her favorite activities include sitting in her cat tree or window perch and looking out the window. She has some "cattitude" and will be sure to let you know when she's done getting attention! Because of this, she would do best in a home without younger children. She would likely do well with other cats, as long as she's given a slow intro. She can peacefully coexist with the dogs in her foster home as well. There's never a dull moment with Freddie around, and she instantly brightens up any space that she enters!

Phil is a total sweetheart who loves being around people! He's not a huge fan of toys, he'd rather just have all of your attention! He loves a good chin rub, and would love to snuggle up and be your Netflix buddy. He does well with older children, and his foster mom thinks he would do just fine with younger kids. Phil is a chill, independent boy who definitely wouldn't mind being the only pet child where he can get spoiled rotten. He would likely do fine with other respectful cats and dogs, as long as he is given a slow, proper introduction and can have his own space when needed.
