Story
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. SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: MediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Story
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?

Hello, my name is Tulip!I am a sweet and affectionate gal! I can be shy of new people and environments, but with a bit of patience I warm up to be a little lovebug. I was born outside, along with a group of kitty friends, but I've learned that I love the house-cat life and all its creature comforts. I am now ready to find a family to call my own! MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could live with 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: YesSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Story
Hello, my name is Marshall!I am a bold and affectionate guy - I'm not shy about saying hello and asking for many, many pets. I am a social eater: I love when people sit with me and keep me company while I eat my yummy foodies. When I am not soaking up all your love, I will be soaking up all the rays on a comfy cat bed by the window. My new family should know that sometimes I can get a little overstimulated during petting and need my family to know when to stop and give me my space. MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could live with older, respectful childrenOTHER CATS: My history with other cats is unknown and I don't seem to enjoy the other shelter cats; perhaps in a home environment, with a calm cat, I could be okay - but I also would love a whole home to my own!DOGS: My history with dogs is unknown, but I could potentially live with a calm cat-savvy dog after a proper introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: Yes, but experience with overstimulation would be an assetSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-highAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Story
Hello! My name is Angus!I am an active and social boy! I'm looking for a home that enjoys a chatty cat who will follow you around and rub between your legs. I would probably be best matched with a home where I'm not left alone for a full work day, as I might get bored all alone by myself. I do like to use my paws - to grab treats, to curiously check things out, or to let you know I'm not comfortable with what you're doing. I'm looking for a home with someone who knows how to read and respect cat body language!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Yes, Older and mature children who can respect me should be fine.OTHER CATS: No, I'm looking to be the only cat in the home.DOGS: Potentially, with a friendly, respectful dog.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I am looking for a home with previous cat experience.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-high.AM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Feel free to pop by during their business hours to see me!I am a sweet and affectionate gentleman! I can be shy of new people and environments, but with some patience and yummy treats, I soon warm up to be a little lovebug. I prefer a calm environment - as I love to relax - and seem to prefer the company of humans rather than other animals. I would be best suited to being an only pet to soak up all the attention and love!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could live with calm and respectful children.OTHER CATS: I would prefer a home without other catsDOGS: I would prefer a home without dogsFIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: YesSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?
