Story

Meet Samy 🧡 Samy’s journey began on the streets of Cairo, where I found him as a tiny, weak kitten fighting to survive. From the moment I brought him home, he felt safe like he finally belonged. Today, Samy is a healthy, playful, and deeply affectionate boy. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and perfectly litter-trained. He adores company, playtime, and being close to the person he loves. He’ll curl up beside you, ask for cuddles, and purr louder than you’d believe. Samy is also very attached, he doesn’t like being alone, though he’ll find ways to entertain himself. Sometimes he meows when he’s far from you. I’ve been gently training him to be more independent, but I know there’s someone out there who’ll find his clinginess endearing, someone who’ll love having a cat who truly loves them back. Unfortunately, I have another rescued female cat with a difficult past, and she hasn’t been kind to him. That’s why Samy is now looking for a home where he’ll be safe and never alone.

Story

Rio is a beautiful and healthy cat who just received a health checkup in April 2025. He is playful and potty trained. He enjoys eating once a day but loves treats sporadically. He is used to being on his own during the work day and also used to spending time with small dogs (his size or similar). Rio isn’t shy but can take a few hours to get used to someone new. Rio is excited to find a new home with a solo owner or family who is excited to play with him and give him love.

Story

I work in Supportive Housing and was asked a few months back if I was able to take in a cat who was left abandoned by its owner. Thats where I met a shy but sweet cat named Toast. Toast has always been calm and good with people from day one that I met him. Unfortunately, when I took him in and introduced him to my other cats, it seemed as though he wasnt very fond of them. Toast appears to be a territorial type who would benefit from a home with no other pets. Im hoping there is someone who would like to take care of this sweet furball who deserves so much.

Story

Meet Moon - Your Future Adventure Buddy! Moon is a spirited 9-month old kitten who followed me home one night and stole my heart! He’s in great health: neutered, vaccinated (Rabies and FVRCP), FELV/FIV negative, and treated for fleas and worms. Moon is playful, curious, and loves to climb, jump, and figure out how things work! He’s also a big eater with a broad palate and has enjoyed his Purina Pro diet. Moon needs space to burn energy and would thrive in a home with room to explore. He’s great with people but plays rough with other cats, likely due to his stray background. He’d do best as the only cat or with a dog friend, but this may change as he matures. Bonus: Moon occasionally sticks his tongue out when’s in deep sleep, which is the cutest thing ever! A patient adopter with cat experience would be ideal as he’s still adjusting to domestic life. If you’re looking for a lively, loving, and endlessly entertaining companion, Moon is ready to bring joy to your home!

Story

Helix is my baby baby boy, who's turning 2 on February 8th, 2026. But due to some unexpected life changes, I no longer feel like I can give him the best care that he deserves. He is playful and kind with an unwavering tethering to food. He loves touches and group naps, brightening up the darkest days with soft eyes and head butts. Anyone would be so lucky to take care of this angel.

Story

Due to my need to return to my home country, my cat—who is quite timid—may not be able to endure the 20–30 hour long-distance flight in cargo. Therefore, I am looking for a new home for her. She is around three years old, gentle by nature, and has never shown any aggression. Once she trusts you, she will actively come to you and rub against you affectionately. She is also exceptionally smart—nothing short of a genius in the cat world. For example, she can learn various commands in the time it takes to finish one cat treat stick. So far, she has mastered: shaking hands, giving a high-five, playing dead (“bang!”), standing on her hind legs, and gently bumping her head against yours. I sincerely hope to find someone who truly loves cats and can provide a caring home for my beloved companion. I will gladly include the following items for free: an automatic feeder (worth several hundred dollars), a litter box, a cat carrier, various cat treats, cat food, litter, and water bowls.
