Story
Missy is a gorgeous and calm kitty that loves to watch the world. Missy needs a very special adopter who may want to adopt her as a friend for another kitty or to allow her to just do her own thing. She does not want much interactions with humans, and may never be a kitty that comes to you for affection or to cuddle, but absolutely loves other kitties! She is quiet (never heard her meow!) and very playful with interactive toys. Her favorite thing is laying on the window perch watching the birds and the world and soaking up a little sun! She will not allow you to pet her or hold her (she will run), but she doesn't mind if you're in the room with her. Her siblings, Casper and Ardent love humans, but she never wanted that interaction, even as a young kitten. If you are interested in giving Missy a home where she can just be herself with no pressure for affection, please contact us! She likely would also do well as an indoor (she has never been outside) working/mousing cat in a secured shop/home. She is fixed, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped and up to date on her 1st year vaccines.

Story
Kamiyah is a super sweet girl! She has lived with a toddler and other cats and does well with both. She could go to a home with another friendly cat or be an only cat. She is independent but also loves to snuggle with her humans. She often sleeps with her human foster brother! Kamiyah is super food orientated....she hasn't met a snack she doesn't like! She is super curious and adventuresome and LOVES to play! Kamiyah is FIV+, but that is not a big deal! It just means her immune system is not quite as strong and most cats so she will need a couple of immune boosting supplements, regular vet care, and a good diet to help keep her healthy! It will not prevent her from living with another cat(s), as long as proper/slow introductions are done to make sure they get along! Kamiyah is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. She is currently being fostered in Taylor.

Story
483 days. That’s how long Isadora (“Izzy”) has been waiting for someone to choose her. Izzy is still waiting for the family who will appreciate her gentle nature, her quirky diva moments, and the trust she gives to those who earn it. We think the right person is going to adore this girl. Izzy first appeared at one of our outreach homes, showing up regularly for meals. When we brought her in for TNR, we quickly discovered she wasn’t a feral cat at all—she was friendly, affectionate, and more than ready to trade outdoor life for a cozy home. Since then, she’s been enjoying indoor living and perfecting her role as a lovable feline diva. And make no mistake—Izzy knows what she likes! Dinner should be served on time, her litter box should be kept clean, and if you stop petting her before she’s finished, she’ll politely let you know with a gentle paw tap. A queen has standards, after all. Despite her diva tendencies, Izzy is a sweet, loyal companion who enjoys attention and affection from her people. She can be shy when meeting new people and will need a patient adopter willing to give her time to settle in and build trust. Once she feels safe, her personality shines through more and more. She loves relaxing on her favorite window perch, basking in the sunshine, and keeping an eye on the world outside. Izzy gets along well with other cats and could happily share her home with feline friends. She tolerates the small dogs in her foster home but would much prefer a dog-free environment. If dogs are present, they should be calm, cat-savvy, and respectful of her personal space. She has done well with children ages 7 and older who understand that cats aren’t always in the mood for chaos. A quieter home where she can settle in at her own pace would be ideal. One bonus? Izzy is not a counter surfer. She prefers supervising the household from a comfortable perch rather than helping herself to whatever is on the kitchen counter. Izzy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative. She is currently being fostered in Southgate and is ready to find her forever home. ❤️🐾

Story
Winston is a super sweet boy who came to us from a local shelter after his mama was adopted out. He is very shy at first and will need a patient adopter who will give him the time to become comfortable in his new home. He is extremely talkative and has the cutest little voice and doesn't meow. He has such a big personality and is so funny to watch! He absolutely LOVES other cats, especially adults and will affectionately rub all over them! Having another social kitty friend in the home is essential! If you don't have another cat, he can be adopted with one of his foster siblings....Casper would be a great companion! Winston absolutely loves interactive toys like laser beams, battery operated mice, etc. He also like interactive treat toys. Winston does allow petting, but on his terms. He prefers you pet him when one of his kitty friends is with him. Or, he "calls" you to the door (I keep the door cracked open for him to interact through) so he can rub on your hand when you put it through to him. As he gets comfortable, it is possible he will become even more affectionate, but right now this is his level of comfort with his foster. Because of being shy, Winston would prefer a quieter home without young kids. He has been exposed to a large, cat-friendly dog through the door, but has not directly interacted with her. He may do well with a friendly, cat-savvy dog who won't chase him and will let him rub on him! :) Winston is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed and FIV/FeLV negative. He is currently fostered in Warren and is available for adoption or foster-to-adopt.
