Story
Mittens is a highly energetic young cat. She was abandoned near my office and I was eventually able to bring her home in November. We are needing to rehome her because she does not get along with our other cats after several months of keeping them apart and trying to slowly integrate them. An ideal owner would be someone who does not have other animals or young children. Someone who has the time to play with her and also keep her on a feeding schedule rather than free feeding, as she has a constant need to alway eat food, likely do to being homeless previously. We would prefer an owner who would keep her has an inside only cat, and has a large enough space for her to zoom. She's never begged to go outside, though she does like watching birds. We have had her spayed, tested for FELV/FIV, and microchipped. She will come with a Catit Digger Slow Feeder, food, some toys, a pop up tent if desired, and nail clippers.

Story
Sophia NEEDS to be in a home with NO other cats. She is very dominate and will attack other cats. She has made the rounds of family homes, to see if she would not dominate a per-existing cat in a home; the answer to that is, YES, YES SHE WILL! She is tiny, beautiful and loving. She wants to be near people. Petting's are her thing, and purring is her love language!!! We think she is about 8 years old. Very set in her ways. She get along just fine with dogs. Basically, she ignores them. It has been a while since she has been around a dog so it may take her a few to adapt. She also does this weird meow growl thing. We think it's like when she is trying to decide if she is ok with something or not... Sophia prefers to be inside most of the time. We would like to be able to get updates on her and future pictures. We really do love her, we just want what is best for her! She will come with her scratch pole, small cat tree, litter box - empty, plus more items...

Story
Lucky was brought to the shelter from a hoarding situation. There were around 13 cats in the home. Lucky will need a patient and understanding adopter as she adapts to her new environment. Her foster mom continues to work with her on being able to pet her-she is very skittish of people. But she shows improvement daily. She is around one year old and weighs 5-6 pounds. She is litter box trained. Lucky has so much kitten energy! She loves toys and meal time! She loves playing with her sister Ficus Audrey (also available for adoption) and the other cats in her foster home. We will require that her new home have another well -adjusted cat in the home, so she has an example to follow and a playmate!

Hi, I'm Polka Dot Begonia! I recently came to CMHS after my person passed away, so unfortunately the staff doesn't know very much about me yet. I lived with lots of other cats in my last home (see the rest of the House Plants cats), so I'd be happy to have a feline friend (new or old) in my next home.

Story
Hello, I'm Ashley! I'm a happy, chatty girl with a bubbly personality. I can be very snuggly when I'm in the mood, and happily purr and flop to the floor. When I'm not asking for your attention, I'm chasing after wand toys, crinkle balls, and catnip mice. I also enjoy climbing cat trees, watching the birds and soaking up the sun. I lived with older children in my last home, as well as another cat, and enjoyed spending time with them. _____________________________________________________________________________ This cat previously tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus on 10/13/2021. On 4/9/24, this cat was tested for FeLV using an in-house Idexx snap test, and was below detectable limits. This test result does not indicate that the cat is not infected with FeLV, as regressively infected cats can have a below detectable limits test and still be infected. This cat can be housed with other cats that have tested positive for FeLV, but should not be housed with cats that have tested negative. The shelter recommends that the adopter follow up with their veterinarian to more accurately determine the cat's retroviral status, if recommended by their veterinarian.
