Story
2 yr old female - special needs - must be an only catMeet Puma! This adorable girl is a little timid when you first meet her, but once she warms up she is super sweet, and very playful.  Se is 2 years old.   She is special need and needs to be an only cat or in a household with other Feline Coronoa virus positive cats. She tested positive for Feline Coronavirus (the testing that was done to identify this virus is specific to feline enteric coronavirus and does not detect SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent for COVID-19. Feline enteric coronavirus is species-specific and does not infect humans) Although she tested positive at her re-check appointment, the virus should not affect her longevity or quality of life (she is no longer experiencing any clinical signs), however it is recommended that she go to a home with no other cats, with no intention of getting more cats in the home.   Coronavirus is mostly common as a kitten virus,  and according to the vet most kittens by 9 months - 1 year test negative. However, for some reason Puma has not out grown it.  We just had her test in July 2022 and she is still positive.  We have not seen her around dogs or kids so unsure how she would do with those.  This animal is current on all age appropriate vaccines, dewormed, and spayed/neutered. They have been FIV/LeLV tested (negative), microchipped, and on flea prevention.  The adoption fee is $50.00 If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an application at ajssearchandrescue.orgApril 23, 2024, 5:36 pm

Shy but friendly. Adoption fee $90.Posey is full of kitty energy and loves to play. She also loves to rub on people’s legs and to be petted. She is thriving in a home with multiple other cats. She prefers not to be picked up or held. She has been known to give a little nip to show her displeasure if we try to pick her up. For this reason, a home without small children would be best for her. She may grow to be one of those cats who comes to sit next to you or on your lap when she feels like it or she may grow to be a complete cuddle bug. Who knows? She will need an experienced cat owner  willing to take the time to help her feel at home.This cautious but friendly girl was born around 5/23/22. Her adoption fee is $90.00 If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an application.   http://www.ajssearchandrescue.org/adoption-application  Posey is current on all age appropriate vaccines, dewormed, and spayed. She has been FIV/LeLV tested (negative), microchipped, and on flea prevention.  April 23, 2024, 5:36 pm

She previously lived on the streets, and she is extremely cautious about making new human friends, but loves to be pet when she finally lets you! Karen loves other cats, and she would do best in a home where she can have a friend of her own size to help her feel confident and safe. She has a sensitive tummy, and requires a grain free diet.  Karen is about 6 years old, litter box trained, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed, dewormed, and combo tested.

Please contact Jamie (jamie@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet. Meet Matcha! Matcha is a special girl who needs a home she can reside in, and not necessarily receive attention. Matcha loves the companionship of other cats, but could give or take humans. She is not aggressive, just shy and not fond of human touch. She has a sensitive tummy and requires a gentle formula food (not prescription). She is about 1 year old. Her adoption fee is $125.   Paws and Prayers Cats are spay/neuter, fully vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested (neg), dewormed, current on flea/tick prevention, and microchipped at the time of adoption. They are litterbox trained unless otherwise noted. Please be aware we do not walk around standing & holding our shelter cats - this is unnatural to them and we like to keep them as comfortable as possible.  Please read the entire bio before emailing the foster with questions.    Meet and greets are not arranged unless an adoption application is filled out and approved and are by appointment only. April 24, 2024, 9:27 pm

When he first came to Paws and Prayers he was not a happy camper but once settled in, he’s blossomed into a sweet boy! He absolutely loves the company of other cats, and tends to take kittens under his wing and play with them all the time!  He does get overstimulated with play and petting with humans, so a home with no kids would be best.

Please contact Jamie (jamie@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet. Alex can come off as a little bit of a sour patch kid at first, but will show you that she is really sweet as pie. She likes attention on her terms but let’s you know when she’s had enough. She gets along with other cats, but would be content in a home on her own. She is very petite and does the cutest squeaks. She is about 5-6 years old. She has a deformed eye but it has been checked by a vet and doesn’t bother her or cause issues, it just waters from time to time. Alex also seems a little hard of hearing but that does not effect her either. She is a great girl who’s ready to find a home! Her adoption fee is $125.   Paws and Prayers Cats are spay/neuter, fully vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested (neg), dewormed, current on flea/tick prevention, and microchipped at the time of adoption.

For more information not listed in the bio, please email Dee at Dee@PawsandPrayers.org* Santana is trying hard to learn to trust humans, and she is very watchful as she learns as much as she can about you before she makes her move. She has been with us about a year and a half now, and has made so much progress! We have found that at feeding time seems to be the best time to pet her and show her love. She enjoys affection, but she does not yet actively seek it out on her own unless she feels comfortable with you. She is looking for a special person that will offer her patience as she gets comfortable in her new environment. She loves the company of other cats, and would do best with a kitty companion in her new home.   She is about two 1/2 years old, litter box trained, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed, dewormed, and combo tested.

Story
Hello, Nikki and Bri are sisters and purebred Bengals. They are 2.5 years old. I have had them since they were kittens. Both are very affectionate and enjoy playing with the laser pointer, toys, and feathers. Bri is calm and easy going. She follows me whatever I'm doing and spends most of my work day near me on my desk. Nikki is very kind and affectionate but she is easily stressed. Playing with her in the morning and evening greatly helps her relax. I am also in a small apartment which I believe partially causes her stress as she likes to have her own space at times up high. Although they are shy around new people, they have never shown aggression to people. They both enjoy going outside on a leash. They have been loved dearly and well taken care of. But I am moving to europe and believe the plane ride and new home will cause them too much stress so I'm looking to find them a good home.
