Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there! I’m Berlioz, but my foster parents call me BB—you can call me either, as long as you say it softly. I may look tiny, but I’m actually a full-grown 2-year-old lady. And yes… my tongue really is always sticking out. I hear it’s part of my charm. I came from a home with lots of other cats, and now that I’m somewhere calmer, I’ve discovered how much I love the quiet life. My favorite spot in the whole world is my cozy kitty cube—if you’re looking for me, that’s where I’ll be snuggled up. I’m a little shy at first, but once I learn that you’re safe and gentle, I adore being petted. I purr louder than you’d ever expect from a cat my size! I live with other cats right now, and I’m totally fine with them… as long as they don’t get all up in my business. I can’t wait to have a peaceful home of my own, where I can feel safe, adored, and maybe even show off my tiny tongue. Will you be my quiet place? Apply today @Buffalocares.org Adoption Fee: $ 150.00 RR 48    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All dogs come fully up to date on shots, microchipped, heart worm tested, de-wormed, on flea and heart worm preventative, and spayed/neutered.  If interested in learning more or adopting please fill out an application on our website at www.buffalocares.org.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Minnie & Rosie — Two Best Friends, One Beautiful Bond Hi there! We’re Minnie and Rosie, two sweet, loving girls who have been best friends for years. We do everything together — nap, play, groom, and keep each other company. We’re looking for a calm, loving forever home where we can stay together and share our gentle hearts with you. About Me, Minnie: I’m the social butterfly of the pair — friendly, affectionate, and always ready to give headbutts and purrs. I love people and don’t mind being picked up or held. I’m very good for vet visits, too! I can be a little silly and spacey sometimes (my depth perception isn’t the best, but it makes me adorable). Every so often, I get a playful burst of energy and chase around my favorite puffball toys. I even know my name and come when called! I’m an indoor-only cat — I once slipped outside when a window was left open and just sat by the door waiting to come back in. I don’t have outdoor survival skills, but I do have the best cuddling skills. I get along well with other cats, dogs, and even respectful kids. I have a mild case of idiopathic seizures, which means I may have a few small seizures a year, but my vet says they’re so rare and mild that I don’t need medication. Otherwise, I’m healthy and happy! About Me, Rosie: I’m a gentle, shy girl who loves deeply once I feel safe. Minnie is my best friend and my source of courage — she helps me feel brave and confident in new situations. I love to play with toys (especially my favorite stick toy, which I’ll bring with me!), though I usually like to play when no one’s watching. I can be chatty at times, especially when you call me “Baby Rose” — that’s my favorite nickname. I might meow right back! I also have a few funny quirks: I love butter and even try to nibble lettuce sometimes. I’m shy with new people and slow to warm up, but once I trust you, I’ll be a loyal, affectionate companion. I must stay indoors only, because I get very scared outside. When I was younger, I accidentally got out twice and had to be trapped to come home — I’d much rather stay safe and cozy indoors! I have idiopathic cystitis, which can cause a few extra litter box trips or occasional blood in my urine. My vet has done full testing, and I’m doing really well on my prescription food and a small dose of gabapentin. A calm, low-stress home helps me feel my best. I get along nicely with cats (especially playful boy cats), gentle dogs, and older, quieter kids. Our Story: Minnie was surrendered in 2018 after her previous family faced eviction. She was loved by a young boy and came to her foster mom needing some TLC. Rosie was rescued as a kitten from a barn in Ovid, along with her brother and mom. She was very shy at first, but Minnie helped her blossom. Now, we’re a bonded pair — two hearts that found home in each other. We nap together, comfort each other, and share quiet moments of joy every day. Our Dream Home: We’re looking for a calm, loving indoor home with someone who understands gentle souls. We’d do best in a home with fewer animals and a relaxed environment. In return, we’ll fill your days with love, warmth, and quiet companionship. If you’ve been wishing for two affectionate, loyal cats who adore each other (and will adore you, too), we’re ready to bring double the love into your life. Apply today @Buffalocares.org Adoption Fee:$150.00 for the bonded pair RR48Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All dogs come fully up to date on shots, microchipped, heart worm tested, de-wormed, on flea and heart worm preventative, and spayed/neutered.  If interested in learning more or adopting please fill out an application on our website at www.buffalocares.org.

Story
Bello was found abandoned outside so we don't know much about his past. He was pretty shut down when he came in but he's definitely coming around! Once he gets to know you, Bello is a sweet, attention seeking, chatty, and slightly demanding kitty. He would prefer a quiet home and would love to be an only kitty. He is not a fan of doggies either!

Story
This beautiful boy was rescued from outside and he is now loving the indoor cat life! And why wouldn't he?! He gets food, treats, pets and the undying admiration of everyone who sees him! The only thing he doesn't like are all his shelter mates! He'd much rather be a spoiled only kitty (no canines allowed either!). Shere Khan is curious, affectionate, chatty...and a little sassy at times!

Story
Poor Bisque has had a rough start! She had shown up at a feeding station outside a soup kitchen in Buffalo. She was hungry, pregnant and tired! 😞 She gave birth to four tiny babies but lost one immediately. She was a kind and loving mom to the remaining three and raised them up big and strong! But unfortunately Bisque's bad luck wasn't quite over! When she was vetted, she tested positive for FIV 😿 Not uncommon among cats surviving on the street, FIV is a virus that affects a cat's immune system. Cats can live a normal life with FIV, but they may be more prone to infections or dental issues down the line. They are not likely to spread the virus to existing household cats. Bisque is a mellow, sweet and gentle cat. She does well with other cats and will likely do fine with dogs as well.

Story
Petunia, our soft-spoken 12-year-old sweetheart, who's always dressed for the occasion in her perfect black-and-white tuxedo. She's a gentle girl with a high-pitched meow (though she often greets with a sweet, silent meow, her own quiet way of saying hello). Petunia has been part of our family for 8 wonderful years. She had a tough start. Found cold and all alone as a kitten in a warehouse in the middle of winter, but she's grown into the most loving little lady. Life has changed significantly since then, and our home has become a bit too unpredictable for her calm, steady nature. We know she deserves a peaceful space where she can truly relax again. Petunia would thrive as an only cat, with someone who matches her mellow, affectionate energy. She especially loves to cuddle up at night while watching TV or reading a good book. The perfect companion for a quiet evening in. If you're looking for a tender-hearted companion to share your couch (and your heart), Petunia might be your girl!
