Story
Rodger is FIV+. He can be around other cat-friendly cats as FIV is not as contagious as they once thought. In fact, he lives with several other cats.Rodger was born on 5/1/19 and is a brown tabby from Roswell. His favorite past-times are looking out windows, sitting on window sills, exploring his foster home, and playing. He's a teen boy kitty, so he has a good amount of energy and likes to play with ping pong balls, pole toys, soft toys, and kick toys. He can be picked up (properly of course). He likes to be brushed and has learned to use a cardboard scratcher, not counter jump (NO and finger snap gets him down), and nap on my bed.Because Rodger is FIV+, he needs to be an indoor kitty. He eats both dry and wet food (not mixed together), and has a good appetite. A high-quality food will keep his coat in good condition.Though he should start in a “safe room”, Rodger does well with other cats. When hissed at, he walks away. He likes to box and wrestle with other kitties. He wanders around with a fast pace saying “ggrrrrrr” (so cute!) and sits contentedly on his side between rounds of exploring. He would do best with another kitty of similar age and/or a human who enjoys playing with him.Rodger is current on all shots, neutered and micro-chipped.Rodger’s approximate DOB: 5/1/19 ##1458512##

Story
Minnie and her older brother, Mickey, were rescued from the Roswell shelter on their last day, where they shared a cage at the Roswell shelter.  They were adopted together and then returned when their owner went into assisted living.  They were not terribly bonded and so are available separately. Minnie really enjoys playing with toys on a stick and toys she can chew and bat around.  Minnie is all black except for a white spot on her chest and on her abdomen.  Minnie is a sweet cat who likes to check in with her person/people several times a day and early in the morning.  She is not a lap cat but LOVES attention and head rubs and scratches.  She is very personable!   She would do better in a home with another cat to play with, as she is starting to socialize with the other cats in her current foster home and likes company.  She would not do well in a home with very young children or a very dominant cat, as she tends to be a bit cautious.  Minnie currently lives in a home with other cats and cat friendly dogs.  She will make a wonderful companion for someone and knows her name.  With the proper introduction, she should do well in your home. ##1471926##

Story
Kismet is a very lovable cat! She can be a little shy at first, but once she gets comfortable with you, she loves to have her head scratched and she does a cute little turn when you pet her! She doesn't mind being held, either. She has food allergies and is on a special food diet, so she may have to be an only cat, to keep her from eating any other foods she shouldn't be. Other than that, Kismet is a truly wonderful cat that would make an incredible addition to your home!

Looking to re-home my kitty. He has never sprayed, and is not mean or hurtful with his claws or teeth. Playful kitty who is very soft! Loves people, and really loves interactive play time. Could use more space than a small apartment like mine, and please please someone not gone ten hours a day. Another cat might be ideal for this one, hard to say because I've not seen him around any other cats as he has been strictly indoors as long as I have fostered him. Relocating closer to my family in Florida, and I can't take him with me. Looking for a good home for him with loving parent/s.
