Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.I once was loved but coming from a rental home neighborhood like others, I was left behind. Barely a kitten myself I found myself a new mom to 2 rambunctious boys. We didn’t have a home but nice people fed us. My boys liked to play in the busy road. This was noticed by ST Furever freedom and so we were rescued….yes me included. I love love being inside a warm safe foster home. I love snuggling in my foster mom’s bed. I get to play like the young girl that I am with the many toys here. I won’t be having anymore babies and I’ve had all my vaccines. I would love my very own furever home.

Story
They say I'm 14, but I don't believe it. I still love playing with toys, and I'm a huge cuddler. My foster family calls me Mr. Meowlers and says I'm the most lap-catty cat they've ever fostered. Everyone is my friend.I'm looking to live it up in pure cuddly bliss. I'll be your best buddy and I am happiest sitting on the couch, watching TV with you, and soaking up attention.I arrived at the shelter as a stray and needed a bath when I first came in. Even soaking wet, I lived up to my name and sat there looking completely majestic.I'm what they call a super cat: curious, sweet, and full of personality. I've got a distinctive meowel, a ton of charm, and there's truly no other cat like me. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 7.2 Age: 14yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Gary (grey) and Charlotte (tabby) siblings that came into the WCAC together. I am hopeful that the two can be adopted together. These two precious kittens are not cuddlers, but they enjoy being rubbed on their head and back. Charlotte has a sweet purr, and Gary is working on his purr. They enjoy being together and have wrestling matches that are comical. They enjoy grooming each other. They approach easily for a churro treat which they love.  They use the litter box like pros. Both of them enjoy playing with various toys. Their adopter needs to be a person that is patient and willing to work with them. They are trying to get use to humans and living in a home. They would probably be best in a home without dogs and young children. If you would like to set up a meet and greet, please contact WCAC. Primary Color: Tabby- Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 4.9 Age: 0yrs 8mths 3wks
