We got Donut when she was 3 months old from PetSmart. She is almost 2 years old, and loves attention. She enjoys playing with her favorite black shoelace, and lots of cuddles(her tail poofs when she is loving the cuddles).

Story
This is Melody. i found her not too long ago (2 months) when i was dumping out trash at my job. She approached me after I discovered her and has not left my side since. Unfortunately I cannot keep her as my dog is starting to grow jealous of her attention towards me. My dog is the problem not her! She is extremely sweet and has not scratched or bit me once while ive had her. But sadly I must part with her. She is very friendly, and lets anyone pet her and is a super cuddler. I love that she's so small and light for a cat. i believe she is fully grown? Hoping to find her a loving home :)

Story
Stede is a former community cat who showed up at my house in May 2022 and I've been working on socializing him ever since. He's very sweet, a little dumb, and has a silly little head tilt that I suspect is due to poor vision. He had surgery to fix his lower eyelids that were curling inwards and irritating his eyes when he was neutered in 2022. The vet estimated that he's at least 8 years old and he recently had most of his teeth extracted due to dental disease. Now that he's all healed up, he's ready to find his forever home! Because of his history, he needs an experienced adopter who will be patient while he learns to be an indoor cat. He'd do best in a home where he's the only cat or where the resident cats aren't afraid to assert their boundaries. He's still getting used to indoor noises and will probably take some time to warm up to you, but with time, patience, and the liberal application of treats, I have faith that he'll be the lapcat of your dreams in no time!

Story
Hello, humans! My name is Keiko, and I'm here to share my story with you. You see, I'm not your typical cuddly, affectionate feline. Nope, I'm what some might call an independent spirit, packaged in the beautiful body of a tuxedo cat.    I've had a bit of a rough start in life, and it's left me a tad wary of people. Before I came to live with my foster parent, I had terrible dental disease, and I had to have all my teeth removed. I’m still a great eater, enjoying hard and soft food.  Being outdoors is off limits to me, as it’s not safe for me without my teeth to help protect me. Which doesn’t bother me at all, as I like being indoors.I love playing with my toys, but I don’t really enjoy playing with humans.  I like being in the same room with my foster, occasionally granting her permission to pet me, but I am not a lap kitty.  I do enjoy an occasional brushing on my belly, though. Deep down, I'm just a misunderstood kitty looking for a place to call home. I may not come running to greet you at the door with purrs and headbutts, but give me time, and you'll see there's a whole lot more to me than meets the eye. I’m searching for a patient, understanding cat lover who is willing to respect my independence, and love me anyway! I think I’ll thrive in a quiet, all adult home, where I’m the only non-human. If you think we might be right for each other, please contact PAW at cat-coordinator@paw-rescue.com ##1849327##

Story
Priest is praying for a new home soon! He is so cute, sweet, and precious. He is a purring machine and quite affectionate. Priest had a home but sadly the other kitties in the house were not nice to him. The owner was very sad to say good-bye to Priest, but they knew he needed a more suitable home to thrive. Priest would probably do best as a solo pet but he's all the cat you need! He is just a joy to be with and his happiness will make you smile. Please make Priest's prayers come true by taking him home!

Story
Rita is an energetic and playful girl about 1.5 years old. She was found underweight and pregnant on the streets last summer and a few months later became mom to 3 healthy kittens. Although she did a great job taking care of her babies Rita is glad she has been spayed and will not be having any more litters. After some TLC this gorgeous little girl is ready to find her forever home. She loves being an indoor cat but does not love other animals and needs to be an only pet. Rita enjoys playing with her feather wand, chasing balls, watching birds, and cuddling up next to her humans. If you have any questions or are interested in adopting Rita please send me a message!
