Story
Moomoo is about 9 years old and a great cat. She is super friendly with people and kids. She has never bitten anyone. She likes to play and likes tummy rubs and wears clothes. She uses the litter box and does not have accidents. It breaks my heart to part with her as my wife has developed severe cat allergies since we adopted her about 9 years ago. We are looking to place her with a good family that can care for her and play with her. She is really a great cat.

Story
Garfield is a friendly guy who head-butts and enjoys being petted. He will greet you at the door and snuggle on your lap if you put him there. He showed up at a feral cat colony but was clearly a former pet. Garfield was drinking a lot of water so we took him to the vet. His urine was very diluted, suggesting he is in the early stages of kidney disease (early because no abnormalities were found in his bloodwork yet). The veterinarian said that Garfield does not need special treatment yet, but will need his blood and urine rechecked every 6-12 months. Once his bloodwork begins to show signs of lower kidney function, he will need to transition to a prescription diet. Although kidney disease can be slowed, it cannot be reversed and Garfield's lifespan will be shortened (typically 3-4 years from the stage he is in). Garfield plays well with other cats (but please no dogs or small children). He is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped, and negative for FIV and leukemia. Garfield's adoption fee has been waived since we understand that his potential owners would be taking on higher than usual veterinary expenses. Interested in adding Garfield to your family?

Story
An extra-special home is needed for feline leukemia kitty Ellie. She is a total lovebug and lap cat who wants to greet you at the door for cuddles and kisses. Leukemia spreads between cats through casual contact. Leukemia is a serious prognosis, with the typical lifespan reduced to just 1-3 years. Leukemia-positive usually are happy and healthy until a sudden decline. Ellie deserves a good home to enjoy the healthy time she has left. Ellie needs a cat-free home (or a home with only leukemia cats). She is spayed, vaccinated, and is currently in good health aside from her leukemia diagnosis. There is no adoption fee for Ellie, but an approved application is required. Interested? Apply online at www.camdencompanions.org/adoption-application

Story
As Hermione says: "It's leviOsa, not levioSA!" This 4 year old girl would like to be levitated into a fur-ever home! She is still getting used to shelter life and needs an adopter that will give her time to get comfortable. She does like to engage with people who wave stick toys or straws at her, and she likes rolling around while she plays. Leviosa seems like she might be a playful girl once she gets comfortable. She enjoys being pet, and loves treats. These pictures don't do her justice, so please, stop in and meet her for yourself!If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will know that "Wingardium Leviosa" is a common spell used to levitate objects. This pretty girl won't be levitating any objects, she seems to have no magical abilities, but who knows, once she gets home she might surprise us!

Story
Age: around 4/5 monthsGender: MaleBio: Picatso may not be a famous artist, but he is a beautiful grey tabby! He is shy/timid at first and will need a patient owner. But once Picatso is comfortable, he is loveable and playful. He enjoys cuddles and playing with string toys. He is a happy boy and you can almost always hear him purring! He has not been around other cats, dogs, or children.
