Story
Magnus' story really is a tough one to fathom. At 17 years old, this senior lost his home, his family, and every bit of familiarity he knew when he was dumped outside after a new pet entered the home that could not coexist with him. A neighbor found him huddled in the corner of the yard confused and cold, and did her best to keep him warm and fed while she searched for someone to help.He arrived to the shelter confused, exhausted, and very thin. Despite the ordeal he had just been through he was immediately trusting of us - leaning into pets, or crawling into our laps with a low steady purr just grateful to be warm and safe. Routine vetting revealed that he is blind or at best very minimally visual, has some hearing loss, early kidney disease and is FIV(+). He's since been started on a prescription diet and a couple of supplements to help keep him healthy and will need a recheck in a couple of weeks to make sure he's doing well - which we would be more than happy to provide for an adopter.At this point, what Magnus needs most is to get out of a cage and into a home. No super senior kitty should ever have to live in a cage in a busy shelter, and Magnus is no exception. Despite his special needs, he's incredibly mellow and trusting of new people. When he's not napping or eating his favorite lickable treats, he loves to curl up in our laps, get lots of head scratches, and eat giant piles of catnip before settling back into a nap.

Story
Our special boy Oliver first came to us back in 2020 and was adopted shortly after he became available. Unfortunately in May of this year, he was returned after a new addition to his home developed an allergy to Oliver. When he arrived back at the shelter we noticed that he had a relatively large wound on the underside of his neck. With little insight into what caused this, we (as well as Oliver of course) started on the path to finding a solution to help him heal. Due to the location of the wound it was an extremely challenging journey, but thanks to the immense efforts of his very dedicated foster mom, Oliver has finally made a full recovery. Despite this ordeal, Oliver never let it diminish his personality in the slightest. He has always been exceptionally sweet, affectionate and talkative. He has been described as being the perfect companion for someone who is more of a homebody and is truly looking for a cuddle buddy. If that sounds like Oliver might be the right fit for you, please don't hesitate to apply to adopt at rbari.org/cats. Primary Color: Grey Weight: 10 Age: 5yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
Meet Wallace & Gromit!These adorable brothers were found by Paterson Animal Control before coming to our shelter. They were scared, cold, hungry and incredibly tiny! To help them get big and strong, we placed them into foster where they absolutely thrived. Here's what their foster had to say about them:"Grommie (Gromit) and Grumpy (Wallace) are two loving, playful bonded brothers. Grommie is very outgoing and loves to talk to you, rub up on you and be held. While Grumpy is more shy, once he gets to know you he is even more cuddly than Grommie. While Grommie is the leader as far as making friends and telling humans its time for dinner, Grumpy is the explorer and is the first to investigate new toys, climb up cat trees etc. The sweetest thing I've ever seen is them talking to each other - they are always checking in and making sure the other is ok."They are very gentle, with us and each other. Both love to be held and both love belly rubs. Grommie likes cheek rubs and Grumpy likes under the chin rubs. Grumpy was a little hissy the first couple days. And while he would hiss if you picked him up, he would immediately start purring. It took a couple days of slow eye blinks, safety, and watching his brother thrive till he started seeking us out."Overall, these boys are playful, affectionate, and would be great for a family with kids! But they would thrive in any home willing to give them some love and their favorite turkey flavored purr pops! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 2.76 Age: 0yrs 0mths 12wks
