Story
Missing out on socialization as a kitten, Hesper was shy and fearful of people when she came to FFOCAS. But this resilient little kitty has made a lot of progress and has developed into a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to crawl into her foster mom's lap for a cuddle. She's also a playful little imp who enjoys stalking and pouncing on her toys. Because of the lack of socialization in her first year of life, change will always be difficult for Hesper, so she needs a patient adopter who is willing to give her the necessary time to adjust to a new home. Her foster mom guarantees that the time and patience will pay off, because once you've earned Hesper's trust, she turns into a snuggly little lovebug. Hesper is three years old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and felv/fiv negative.

Story
Athena is a sweet, gentle, affectionate, playful cat. She loves to curl up on her foster mom's lap and will purr her heart out in contentment. When not snuggling, she'll play with kittenish abandon, stalking, chasing, and pouncing on her toys in a display guaranteed to bring laughter. But things aren't always so easy for Athena. Born to a feral mom living in a cat colony, Athena missed out on full socialization to people as a kitten. Because of this, she's shy with strangers, new things can be scary for her, and she has an easily triggered startle response. But she's also a wonderfully resilient cat who has demonstrated that she can trust and bond to people. She's blossomed into a loving feline companion in her foster home, and her foster mom believes that she can also thrive in a quiet, adult-only forever home. To keep her digestive system healthy, Athena requires a prescription diet, Hill's Biome, which she loves and does very well on. She is six years old, spayed, felv/fiv negative, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Story
Sweet little love bug Bella is looking for a quiet home and a nice warm lap to curl up in. Bella is a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she's an adorably affectionate girl. As much as she loves people, she's not so fond of other cats so needs to go to a home where she'll be the only feline family member (cat-friendly dogs are okay though). Bella has shown a new skill in her foster home, she may not have front claws , but that doesn't stop her from catching the occasional mouse. So if you need a sweet girl to catch a mouse or two, Bella is your girl! Bella is front declawed. She has food allergies and needs to be on a prescription diet and medication. Happily, this regimen works very well with her, and her skin and coat look great.

Story
Gentle, sweet senior kitty Patty is looking for a loving home where she can spend her remaining time sitting on laps and getting lots of cuddles. She's an affectionate 15-year-old girl, who despite her age, still enjoys play sessions with her foster mom. Patty has early-stage chronic kidney disease, a common and treatable condition in older cats, that is well managed with prescription food, medication, and subcutaneous fluids, all of which she tolerates very well. Patty is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative.

Story
Jimi has been through a lot in his short 6 years of life. In his former home, he was overfed, became obese, and as a result developed diabetes. His owners abandoned him and his brother, Hendrix, on the streets when they moved. Jimi and Hendrix were placed in a FFOCAS foster home, and thanks to the loving care of his foster mom, Jimi's diabetes went into remission. But sadly, he recently lost his brother and best friend Hendrix, who also had been overfed and became obese, and developed a fatal illness directly related to obesity. Jimi is at a healthy weight, his diabetes is in remission, but now he is adjusting to life without his best feline friend. This super affectionate boy, who greets everyone he meets with purrs and head bunts, needs a special someone or family who can help him recover from the loss of his brother. If you've got lots of love to give and are looking for a cat who will return that love in spades, Jimi is waiting for you.
