Story
Verona is truly a sweet cat. She loves to sneak-attack you, loves treats, and loves to sit in your lap. You won't be able to go to bed without her sleeping in between your legs. She would be best in a home with only adults and middle school aged children or older: no other animals, and no young children.

Story
Maybe is a sweet 3 y o. female. She would prefer to be in a quiet home where she can relax throughout the day. She will sit with you while you work, nap next to you during your favorite show, and sleep in your bed (most likely on top of you) all night. She is also a Chatty Kathy and will engage in a back and forth conversation. She enjoys having her nose rubbed, and playing with strings toys. She also enjoys playing hide and seek at night before bed- I hide and she finds me, and sometimes she will hide her head under a blanket or hide in her tunnel and jump out when you're looking for her! Maybe will be at her best with adults who just want to love her. She should be the only cat in the home.

Story
Quixie is a typical cutie kitten with pretty tabby coloring. She loves a quick snuggle and a belly rub before she continues exploring her surroundings. An active playmate to her siblings, she also has time to settle next to you while you scratch her ears and under her chin. She may sit pretty, but don’t let her fool you. Quixie's a skilled escape artist with quick moves to get through your feet before you can grab her. You can’t get mad at a sweet face like that though. Quixie will have you wrapped around her little toe bean before you know it.To meet Quixie and other adoptable Purr Partners kitties at one of our weekend adoptathon events, 1) review our adoption policies at https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/policies/ and 2) then apply to become a pre-approved adopter at https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/cats/For more information or to apply to adopt, please go to: https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/

Story
Natalia came to Purr Partners as a scared first time mom. She has raised her babies and now would like a quiet home of her own. She has been with kittens, but would prefer a home that she did not share with other animals. She likes to watch out the window for birds or take a cat nap on her cat tree or simply on top of something near the window. 🐾Natalia will be cautious at first but once she is comfortable she will cuddle up with her foster mom for a nice nap or just some pets. She is an all-around sweet lady and would do best in a quiet home with someone who will give her a little time to adjust.😻For more information or to apply to adopt, please go to: https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/

Story
Meet Megan Grace. She has had a rough start to life. Dropped off at a shelter heavily pregnant and gave birth within a couple days.Sadly, none of her babies made it. But she is safe in her foster home and recovered, happy and a sweet girl. She is doing very well in her foster home, and love cuddles and is very affectionate.She often climbs her cat tree and lounges and watches the world go by. She is still getting used to people and the sounds in a house and will need someone that has patience to bring her out of her shell. Her best home would be quietish since she is still startled by noises and needs to feel safe. We don’t know if she gets along with other cats yet, but will have an update soon. She hasn’t been around dogs in her foster home. She has soft chirps and meows, loves lying next to your feet and snuggles with her foster mom. She is up to date on vaccinations and spayed and ready to go to her forever home.For more information or to apply to adopt, please go to: https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/

Story
Atlas is a loving, affectionate cat who truly just wants to be near his people. He’s the definition of a lap cat — happiest when he’s curled up close, purring away while you work, read, or relax. He thrives on attention and affection, and will gently remind you when it’s time for some cuddles. Atlas has been a beloved part of our family for years, but with a new baby and a busier household, he isn’t getting the calm attention he deserves. The extra activity and people coming and going have left him feeling a little stressed, and we want to find him a home where he can relax and be doted on again. He’s a wonderful companion for anyone who wants a loyal, gentle cat who loves to give and receive affection. Atlas would do best in a quieter home where he can be the center of attention. If you’re looking for a loving cat to keep you company and fill your home with purrs, Atlas will make your heart melt.

Story
Meet Poppy 🌸 Poppy is a very sweet, affectionate girl who has been in our care for about six months after arriving as a stray. She originally lived as an outdoor kitty, but due to an injury that required the amputation of one of her legs, she now needs the safety and comfort of an indoor home. Despite everything she’s been through, Poppy is doing wonderfully and is healing beautifully from her surgery. She is an absolute cuddle bug—loving, gentle, and incredibly friendly. Poppy has a curious, adventurous spirit, but she’s also calm and relaxed, making her an easygoing and enjoyable companion. She’s very easy to handle and gets along great with other cats, dogs, and children. Poppy would thrive in a home where she can receive lots of love, snuggles, and indoor comfort as she continues her new chapter.
