Story
Precious, petite, purring perfection! That's Charlotte, a 4.5 pound 10-ish year old calico with beautiful, silky soft fur just right for gentle pets and ear rubs! Her little forehead is the best spot for kisses and her expressive eyes are a unique blend of amber and peridot. Her very favorite thing...once she's done walking around her space for inspection...is a soft, cozy blanket for napping. She loves her couch time and will happily allow you to share her space. She may even honor you with snuggles!If you don't see her on a blanket, the bathtub is her place of choice. She is very fond of water, and a dripping sink is the best entertainment. Charlotte is as easy to care for as she is to love. She is an independent girl who knows all of her indoor cat etiquette and conducts herself accordingly. In her foster home, she is continuing to come into her own and is beginning to seek out pets and crawl on her foster mom to nap or hang out as she gets more comfortable. She isn't bothered by typical house activity but does like her independence respected. She enjoys attention, but will let you know when she's had enough.

Story
Meet Fancy! This sassy little lady was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, also known as "Wobbly Kitten Syndrome." Cerebellar Hypoplasia is the failure of the cerebellum, which controls coordinated movement, to develop properly, and causes affected animals to "wobble" and occasionally tip over and fall when they move. Despite having some extra pep in her step, Fancy is in no pain and lives a wonderful life of playing, cuddling, and chasing her feline foster siblings. While animals with cerebellar hypoplasia can still live long, happy lives, they do need some extra care and support from their human companions, which vary on a case-by-case basis depending on the individual animal's needs and severity. For Fancy, this looks like some extra cleaning when she doesn't make it to the litterbox on time, helping her keep her sanitary area tidy, and helping manage her environment to maximize her safety. While she is largely litterbox trained in the sense of making a conscious effort to use the litterbox, Fancy frequently has accidents when she can't find the box and/or does not make it on time, and she needs a litterbox with a low entry and high walls to help her balance while doing her business. Additionally, Fancy has some food sensitivities, but is doing very well on Royal Canin's Gastrointestinal Diet food, and we recommend she stays on this as her primary food. She benefits from a raised food and water dish to help her keep her balance while eating. Fancy’s ideal home would have another playful feline companion and minimal stairs to help keep her safe. The Brave team is happy to be a resource and support while Fancy and her forever family get to know each other and adjust to life together.

Story
Pugsley is a handsome 2-ish-year-old black cat who prefers to take things slow at first. New environments can be a bit overwhelming for this shy guy, but once he feels comfortable, his playfulness shines through. Pugsley is a master string-toy hunter, and will happily bat and chase it around the room for hours on end. He enjoys having his back scratched, and would love the chance to show you his “elevator butt”.  He would love a home with a feline friend to keep him company and help him blossom into the confident and playful cat he can be. Pugsley’s favorite treats are Greenies and he has perfect litter box manners. Requires another cat: Yes - Pugsley would greatly benefit from a confident and friendly cat. Good with other cats: YesWould be fine with young kids (under 10): Unsure - too much commotion might be overwhelming to him Good with dogs: Unknown Home activity level: Quiet to averageHealth concerns or special needs: No We believe this cat was born around 1/19/2021.

Story
Jet is a complete snuggle bug. He loves to play, but loves even more to be lounging in your arms or lap. He has a solid motor for purring and does not let it go to waste. He enjoys greeting new people in his foster home and is always up for a new adventure with his sister Midnight. He enjoys passing the time by wrestling with his sister, racing her up and down the cat tower, and sitting nicely for treats from his foster family. Jet is being fostered with cats, dogs, and children and does fine with all. He has excellent litter box manners and is an absolute joy to have around.

Story
Momma Mozza was found pregnant and roaming the streets. Despite the challenges she has faced, she has retained her gentle spirit and trusting nature. Her kittens have been adopted and now she is ready to leave her past behind and embark on a new chapter filled with love, security, and happiness. We believe that our Momma Mozza would thrive in a calm and nurturing environment where she can receive the attention and affection she deserves (click here to watch what a sweet little momma she was: https://youtu.be/IEoToE1_lhI). A patient and understanding family who can provide her with the time and space she needs to adjust would be ideal. While she may initially prefer a quieter household, we have no doubt that she will become an integral part of the family once she feels safe and loved. In her foster home, she has blossomed into a loving and affectionate companion. Her maternal instincts shine through as she showers her human friends with gentle nuzzles and soft purrs, making every moment spent with her simply the best.

Story
Milo was supposed to be in our care for only a few days last summer, but has since been surrendered to us. He was neutered and vaccinated late last summer. He is approximately 2 years old. We have 3 other cats, and it seems like maybe he would like to play, but does not know how. He runs from dogs. We think if he were introduced slowly to other cats, he could grow socially with them. He loves jumping to catch objects at the end of a toy wand, and will play for long periods of time. He can be cuddly once he calms down, and will settle for a napping session in your lap. He keeps himself very clean, and has beautifully soft fur. We believe he will need someone with patience to get him settled in a new environment. He has only been indoors to our knowledge.
