Story
Gunther is a 7 year old boy that is such a sweetie. I have had him since he was a kitten and I have struggled to adapt him to a household with other cats since he has been an adult. Gunther will be best in a home without other pets, children are ok. He loves to play fetch with toys, get belly rubs and cuddle. Gunther will always eat a good snack and let you know when he's feeling a little hungry. His up to date on all of his vaccines and house trained. I feel sad to see him go but recognize I want the best situation for him and unfortunately my current house with other cats is not a good fit. Please reach out if you are interested!

Story
Meet Gracie 🤎 Gracie is a stunning 13 year old tabby with a personality all her own. She may be considered a senior, but don’t let that fool you, she still has plenty of love to give and is hoping to find a home where she can spend her golden years being cherished. At first, Gracie can be a little shy and cautious with new people. She has a sensitive side and needs time to feel safe in new surroundings. With patience, understanding, and gentle encouragement, she begins to show her true self, a sweet, affectionate companion who enjoys the comfort of a quiet, loving home. Gracie has done well with calm, respectful dogs but has never lived with other cats, so her ideal match would be a home where she can either be the only feline or slowly and carefully introduced. A peaceful, predictable environment will help her feel secure and blossom into the wonderful companion she’s meant to be. Health wise, Gracie does live with hyperthyroidism, but it is very manageable. She requires daily medication, a supportive diet, and regular veterinary monitoring to keep her feeling her best. The good news is that with consistent care, her condition is easily controlled, and she takes her medicine without fuss. What makes Gracie so special is her gentle spirit. She may not be the kind of cat to rush into your arms on day one, but given time, she’ll reward her adopter with deep trust, quiet companionship, and unconditional love. She’s looking for someone patient and kind, a person who sees her for the sweet soul she is and is ready to give her the second chance she deserves. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a beautiful senior cat with a tender personality and a story of resilience, Gracie is waiting to meet you. Gracie is in a foster home!

Story
Meet Habana. Habana is a beautiful girl with a tender heart and a shy, sensitive spirit. She has lived with other cats before and can do well with a slow, thoughtful introduction that lets her build trust at her own pace. Because Habana can be fearful in new environments, she would thrive best in a calm home with respectful teens and up, people who understand that patience, space, and gentle encouragement go a long way. Once she feels safe, her sweet nature quietly shines through, and she’ll reward you with soft companionship and loyal affection. If you have a peaceful home and a loving heart ready for a gentle kitty who just needs time to blossom, Habana may be the perfect match. Come meet this sweet, delicate girl and let her melt your heart. 🌺🐾 ⭐ If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and stop by during our open hours! ⭐

Story
Meet Coco Puff, A beautiful gentleman with a heart full of love just waiting to be rekindled. At an estimated 15 years old, Coco Puff has seen a lot in life, and this sweet senior deserves nothing more than a soft place to land and a family to adore him. Since arriving at the shelter, he’s been a bit downhearted — it’s clear he misses the comfort of a home and the gentle touch of someone who truly cares. Coco Puff hasn’t had known experience with kids or other animals, but he may do well with cat savvy, respectful children who understand that older cats appreciate calm energy and gentle affection. With time and a slow, patient introduction, he could also coexist peacefully with other senior or mellow pets who share his easygoing nature. What Coco Puff needs most is a quiet, loving home where he can feel safe, cherished, and unhurried. With a little tenderness and understanding, this soulful boy will surely show his gratitude with soft purrs and endless love. He’s a reminder that senior cats have so much warmth left to give, they just need the right heart to give it to. ⭐ If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and stop by during our open hours! ⭐

Story
She was roaming around my neighborhood over the past few weeks. She’s very sweet but nervous/skittish on presentation. I can’t keep her because I already have a cat and my landlord only allows one cat. She gets along well with my cat, they eat next to each other and haven’t gotten into any tussles at all. (Granted, she did hiss a few times at first)
