Story
Hello my name is, Seinfeld!I wanted to give you a little bit of history about myself, I previously came from a home with other cats. My friends Costanza, Kramer, Elaine, and I were all roommates! I would very much enjoy a home with another cat to help me build confidence. I can be shy when in new environments or when meeting new people. I can be be timid or skittish with sudden movements or noises as well. I do however, LOVE treats! These are the key to my heart! With a little patience and time, I'll be eating out of your hand in no time!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could live with older, respectful children.OTHER CATS: Yes, I have lived with other cats before and could do so again with a gradual introduction!DOGS: I could potentially live with a calm cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: I would love a family who can read my body language and know when I am feeling nervous.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET? No, just an adult diet.If you think I would make a good match for your home, click the "Adopt Me" button to apply!

Hello! My name is Chester!I am a friendly boy who can be nervous at first; once I get to know you and I feel at home, I am a big softie! When I'm feeling unsure, you may notice my tail swooshing and that's my communication to say I need a little break. Once I feel comfortable with you, I will rub against your legs, sit on your lap and tell you how much I love you with my little meows. My new family should know that I came to GHS with a history of IBD/enteritis - thankfully my friends at GHS worked very hard to assess me and developed a plan that has been very successful! I am on a special diet and a few supplement to keep me feeling happy and healthy. I am looking for a family that is committed to continuing my treatment plan so I can feel my best self!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Older, mature children may be okay; I would be best suited to a calm, mature homeOTHER CATS: I have lived with cats before and could be a good match after a gradual introduction.DOGS: Yes, with a respectful dog and gradual introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has previous cat experience.

Hi, my name is Izzy!The GHS family thinks I'm awesome because I can play "hard to get" but I am a big softy once you get to know me! Some of my favorite things include catnip, catnip, and more catnip; if you bring me a pinch or two, I'll show you my wild and goofy side! I am a low-key lady who likes to spend the rest of my day lounging when I'm not being loved on by the shelter staff. My new family should know that I have a progressive FeLV infection, which means I need to be an indoor cat. Feline leukemia (FeLV) is contagious to other cats, and therefore, would recommend consulting with your veterinarian on risks of adding me to a feline-friendly home. My new family should be prepared that I may start to show symptoms related to FeLV or take longer to recovery from ailments that wouldn't be a "big deal" to other cats. I can still live a very happy life in a quiet environment and with regular veterinary care, so the GHS recommends speaking to your vet prior to adopting me. I would make a wonderful addition to a calm and cuddly home - take me home today!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Teenagers or older respectful children please!OTHER CATS: Potentially, if they are also FELV + and with a slow and careful introductionDOGS: Potentially, with a calm, respectful dog.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: Potentially, if you have some cat experienceSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Story
Hello! My name is Basil!I'm a fun little guy who is learning that humans aren't so scary. They appear to be quite fun, they make toys move and they bring me tasty food. My siblings have been adopted and I'm the last one left because it's been taking me a bit longer to feel confident enough to move into my future adoptive home. I'm still timid and I'm looking for a home that has some cat experience and has a patient and gentle approach to make me feel comfortable. I would love to join a home that already has a confident and easy-going cat so I can have a buddy and also learn how to be a confident kitty from them!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: No, adult only would be best to set me up for success.OTHER CATS: Yes, I would prefer a home with another cat, particularly one who is confident and easy-going.DOGS: Yes, a friendly dog.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I'm looking for someone that has cat experience.

Hello my name is, Rupawl!I previously came from a home with a lot of other cats. So I'm very familiar with living among other felines. I am quite outgoing but can be nervous in new environments and will take a bit of time to adjust. I love treats and neck scratches. I can still be unsure at times and am looking for a home with cat experience to help increase my confidence. Once I feel comfortable, you will know it because I'll be chatting with you to get some love and attention!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: No, I would do best in an adult-only home.OTHER CATS: Yes, I have lived with other cats before and could do so again with a gradual introduction!DOGS: I could potentially live with a calm cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I am looking for someone with cat experience who can read my body language and know when I am feeling unsure.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: MediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?
