Story
Mija is an adult female cat born on February 14, 2020. She was adopted through Street Cats to Sweet Cats, a rescue that takes cats from outdoor environments and places them into homes. Mija has a calm, independent, and gentle personality. She enjoys being pet and will often seek attention, especially when visitors are present, but she is very respectful of personal space. She is a low-energy cat who spends most of her day sleeping or relaxing and does not require a lot of stimulation or play. She enjoys routine and has specific spots she prefers, including her bed and scratching areas, which she uses consistently. Mija is clean, well-mannered, and easygoing in the home. Mija would do best in a calm, stable home, either as the only pet or with another very independent cat. She would be a great fit for someone looking for a relax, affectionate companion.

Story
Spike is the cat lovers dream - he loves people, he’s not shy at all and he loves in your face snuggling. Unfortunately for us since the birth of our child he is no longer able to get along with other animals. Spike would be best in a home with lots of loving people but no other pets. Spike loves our 6 month old and is very gentle with humans. This is very sad for us and we hope he can find a very loving single pet household.

Story
LukeCage is an adult male orange tabby adopted through Street Cats to Sweet Cats, a rescue that takes cats from outdoor environments and places them into homes. His birthday is 8/17/2019. Luke has an active, alert, and curious personality and is highly food motivated. He enjoys exploring his environment and staying aware of what is happening around him. He does best with structured routines, especially scheduled feeding times, as he can become overstimulated when anticipating food. Luke is sensitive to busy or noisy environments and can become stressed with multiple visitors. He has shown discomfort around children and would likely do best in a calm, adult-only household. Luke would thrive in a quiet, predictable home with an experienced cat owner who is comfortable managing a highly food-motivated cat and providing clear routines and structure.
