Story
Meet Gigi! This sweet and spirited 4-year-old tabby is ready to find her forever home! Originally rescued as a kitten, Gigi has spent her first 4 years being loved and cared for — and now she’s looking for a new family to give her the same affection she’s always known. This beautiful girl is a perfect mix of shy and playful. She may be a little reserved at first, but once she feels safe, her loving personality shines. Gigi loves boxes, bags, and any toy she can bat around — she’s an energetic little lady who enjoys playtime and cozy naps alike. Gigi has done great with kids! She is currently living with two energetic Corgis who find cat chasing fun. :-( So she is looking for a home without dogs. She has lived with two other cats -- one was friendly and the other did not like her. Because she can be shy around loud noises and unfamiliar people, she’ll appreciate a patient adopter who can give her time to adjust and feel secure. Gigi is about 4 years old and weighs around 10 lbs. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She's always done great with the litter box except when the dogs have scared her away from the litter box -- and we can't blame her for that! If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate feline friend who will blossom in a peaceful home, Gigi might be your girl! Gigi is losing her home because a new human family member is allergic to kitties. Her two housemate cats have found their forever homes -- now it's Gigi's turn! If you're interested in Gigi, please email us at ffocaslindsey@gmail.com or contact us through Adoptapet. We'll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved -- especially Gigi!

Story
Meet Ravioli! Ravioli is a nearly 3-year-old sweetheart who didn’t have the easiest start. After being dropped off at a shelter by his previous owner, he was scared and confused, spending his days huddled in the back of his cage. When he arrived in his foster home, he hid for a while and was unsure of what to expect. But with consistent love, patience, and gentle attention from his foster mom, Ravioli has truly come out of his shell. Now he runs to greet her, happily soaks up pets, and shows just how loving and tender he really is. He gets along beautifully with other cats and seems to gain confidence from having a feline friend nearby. Because of his sensitive nature, Ravioli would do best in a home with a patient adopter who understands that he may need a little time to adjust. He would especially thrive with a confident cat companion to help guide him. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle kitty who just needs someone to believe in him, Ravioli is ready to repay that kindness with love.
