Story
Pawzy is a gentle little survivor who’s ready to trade the chaos of the streets for the comfort of a loving, calm home. She’s a pro at the litter box (and even tries to tidy up after herself!) and spends her days making biscuits on pillows while purring away. Pawzy is shy and will need some time to adjust, but with patience, she’ll blossom into a sweet companion. She’s fine around small dogs but may feel nervous around bigger ones, and she’ll appreciate a quiet space where she can feel safe. If you’re looking for a tender-hearted cat who just wants love and security, Pawzy may be the kitty for you! Pawzy is spayed and microchipped. You can apply to adopt her here. His adoption fee is $50.Follow Pawzy’s journey on our Facebook page. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Lyra, is the loving mama to our solar system kitties, though she's just a kitten herself at only a year old! Lyra seems to have spent a lot of time as an outdoor cat and has top notch hunter skills. However, now Lyra is ready to settle down from the exciting life of the outdoors and adventures in motherhood to a new, calm, loving home. Lyra loves pets and attention, but isn’t quite a lap cat yet. Lyra has been a wonderful mother to her own kittens as well as her six year old human foster sibling. She has been patient and loving with all. Lyra has responded well in all situations with her foster family and has been loving learning to be on a harness for outside adventures. She still loves the sun and outside from her glory days, but Lyra has also shown so much growth in her in home skills. She is litter trained as well. Lyra will go home spayed and up to date on vaccines. You can apply to adopt Lyra at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Lyra's adoption fee is $50. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This distinguished gentleman of a cat is equal parts snugglebug, lap-warmer, and charming curmudgeon. Much like his famous namesake, Wilford Brimley (Brim) comes with a deep, soothing purr that could probably sell you oatmeal or read you a bedtime story. The moment you touch him—or better yet, bring him food—he rumbles like a bass note. Wilford Brimley the cat is an absolute people’s cat. He loves to be brushed, petted, cuddled, and adored by anyone willing to give him attention (kids included!). He takes his insulin shots like a champ—seriously, you won’t even see him flinch—and thanks to his care, his “diabeetus” is well-managed these days.That said, he’s a chow hound who can’t be trusted with an open buffet. He’ll eat anything in sight faster than you can say “Quaker Oats”, so he needs a family who can help him stick to his special diet. He sheds a bit and needs regular brushing (which he enjoys anyway). Now, let’s be honest: Wilford Brimley is not a fan of other pets. Dogs? Absolutely not. Other cats? He’s unpredictable at best, scrappy at worst. His ideal role in life is as your one-and-only—your faithful companion, your lap-warmer, your oatmeal-commercial co-star.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, people-loving cat who will give you endless love (and a touch of dramatic flair), then Wilford Brimley is ready to make your home his forever. Wilford Brimley (again, the cat) is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.His adoption fee is $50! Follow Wilford “Brim” Brimley’s journey on our Facebook page. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Sarabi is a medium sized tri-colored domestic short haired cat, around 3 years old. She is a total sweetheart! She loves attention and lives for pets and scritches. Sarabi is quiet and gentle. She loves to play with toys and explore her surroundings. Don't let her calm demeanor fool you, however--Sarabi has an ornery streak and has been known to dash out of doors in the blink of an eye! Sarabi is a healthy eater that always comes when called at dinner time. She is an avid litterbox pro and exudes main character energy. Sarabi would do best as the only kitty reigning over her kingdom, or with one or two loyal and laid-back feline subjects. Sarabi would do best in a household without guests of the canine persuasion. Her adoption fee is $50. She is vaccinated, FIV and FELV tested negative, microchipped and spayed. An application for Sarabi can be completed at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

I’m a tiny black cat with a very big personality and many important thoughts to share. I love to talk (about my day, your day, the birds outside, and why my bowl might be 3% empty). I’m a happy, chatty boy who believes silence is overrated and friendship is mandatory. I’m ready to be your new best friend—the kind who follows you around, keeps you company, and reminds you that you are never alone (especially in the bathroom). I bring excellent vibes, endless conversations, and a whole lot of love in a small, sleek, black package. If you’re looking for a cheerful shadow, a professional greeter, and a cat who genuinely wants to be part of your life, congratulations—you found me. So… when are we going home together?

Hi there… I’m a sweet boy who’s still learning to feel confident in the big, busy world. I can be a little nervous at first, but with a patient, gentle human by my side, I know I’ll come out of my shell and show you just how loving I can be. And here’s a secret: even while I’m working on my bravery, I love a good scratch. Give me a quiet moment and a soft touch, and I’ll lean right in. Just because I’m shy doesn’t mean I won’t love on you—I absolutely will! I just like to take things at my own pace. If you’re searching for a tender-hearted companion who will reward your patience with trust, affection, and purrs, I might be the perfect match for you.

Story
This is Juno, I adopted her as a kitten. She will be around 2 years old in March-April. She is a very sweet, affectionate girl. She is definitely the type to follow you all around the house just to keep you company and also to always see what you’re up to! She is also Gizmo’s mom (I should mention that because she has had kittens before, she can be quite territorial towards other female cats, so it would not be ideal to have her around other girls); they get along well, but they’re not quite a bonded pair. And just like her son, she is also a very playful girl, and loves toys and treats of all kinds!

Story
In search of a wonderful home for this kitty. Toby showed up at our home one day in July and never left. We took him in to give him a great home before we realized he was a TNR cat. He is absolutely wonderful and loving with adults and our 2 indoor male cats but not our 2 female ones. We would love to find him a loving home with someone who needs a great buddy. Not certain of age but definitely over a year or two old. He recently received a rabies shot as well. Although he is a TNR cat, we feel he needs the love from a human instead of being back outside alone to fend for himself. He follows you around the home everywhere you go, he will chirp and talk, literally give you hugs around your neck, loves to be in your lap and plays with much energy. Thank you for your consideration.
