Story
**Able to go home the week of June 1st**Meet baby Twister!Twister is the cutest little chunk with quite the story to tell. This little tabby kitten was found at only around two weeks old in debris left behind after a tornado swept through Defiance. With the odds stacked against him and us unsure if he’d even make it through the night, Twister proved right away that he’s a fighter. After being placed in a loving foster home with bottle baby experience, Twister received round-the-clock feedings, potty breaks, snuggles, and all the love a tiny kitten could ask for. Now he’s grown into a chubby, spoiled little gremlin who fully believes humans exist to hold and adore him. Honestly? He kind of demands it. Twister is starting to try new foods, learn a little independence, and get ready for his next big adventure into adopted life. If you’re prepared to completely spoil this little survivor, feel free to submit an adoption application!

Story
Say hello to Virginia!Virginia is a gorgeous little tabby who recently spent her first birthday here at FDHS. We made sure she got plenty of extra love and pampering that day, but it still tugs at our hearts knowing she’s spent so much of her young life in the shelter instead of a home of her own.Virginia came to us nearly a year ago as a teeny tiny kitten from a tough situation. She had been living in a home with multiple other cats and arrived very scared and not well socialized. Thankfully, she was able to spend several weeks in a wonderful foster home where she started learning what life as a house cat is all about. By the time she returned to the shelter, she was much more comfortable with her caregivers and not nearly as afraid of people.Virginia is a cat’s cat through and through. She really relies on the comfort and presence of other cats for confidence and security, so we believe she would do best in a home with feline friends to keep her company. She can still be a little skittish when meeting new people and tends to be more of an independent girl, but if you give her time to settle in, you’ll see what a sweet girl she truly is. She’s friendly with the people she knows and loves spending her afternoons lounging in her cat tower and soaking up the sunshine.This pretty girl has spent so much of her young life in a shelter environment. We would love nothing more than to see Virginia finally get the happily ever after she deserves. **Spayed and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Story
Hey, I’m Rocky! Four years old, tabby, and very into being everyone’s friend.I came to the shelter with some of my cat buddies after my person could no longer care for us. I was really loved in my last home, and it shows. I’m social, snuggly, and always down to hang out. I’ve lived with a bunch of other cats and was real good pals with the family dog too. I’d groom him, snuggle him, and generally act like we were the same species. I love attention, playtime, and being where the action is.I'm looking forever home where I can get lots of attention and spend the rest of my nine lives being doted on! If you're looking for a friendly little lovebug, consider filling out an adoption application for me!**Neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Meet Mr. Jinx! This tuxedo cutie has the looks, the charm, and the cuddles all wrapped up in one purrr-fect little package.Jinx’s story started outside, where he was found skinny, smelly, scruffy, and begging for a chance at a better life. From the moment he stepped inside, he showed us just how sweet and lovable he really is. He has been an absolute angel baby for our staff, and we all love him dearly.Now that he has had a taste of comfort and love, Jinx is more than ready to find his forever home. Could Jinx be the fabulous feline friend you have been waiting for?**Neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**

Story
Say hello to Sammy! Mr. Sammy is a big, chunky black cat who came to us with his bestie Bella (also available!) through no fault of their own.Sammy has been such a sweet, easygoing guy with our staff. He loves being pet, leans right in for attention, and is known for giving the cutest little nose boops. And his purr? You’ll hear it the second you start loving on him. He also seems pretty bonded to Bella, and the two of them are often found cuddled up together, just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company.Sammy is a low-maintenance, chill kind of cat who would do best in a quieter home where he can relax and get a good amount of attention. He’d be happy going home on his own, but he’d also love to stick with Bella if someone is looking for a pair. (There’s even a discount if they’re adopted together!).**Neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**
