Story
Gertie is a sweet girl who is looking for her forever home. She is a little over 5 years old, litterbox trained, spayed, and up to date on shots. She is pretty laid back but loves snuggling with her human. She was adopted from RHS as a kitten with her brother Homer and returned when her owner could no longer care for her due to financial contraints. Gertie always looks a little surprised, but we think that's just part of her charm. She would do well in a variety of homes and is braver than her brother. She has a really sweet little chirp and is always looking to be close to her people.  Are you open to giving Gertie Moo a second chance at forever?  Our Adoption Process: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria.

Story
David, one of the Schitt’s Creek kittens, was brought to a caring volunteer by his mom, a community cat. She was given a warm, safe place to raise her kittens inside and this little man has never looked back! David’s three passions are cuddling, golf on TV and his brother, Mutt (the cat). More on the TV: he LOVES to watch anything, but sports are his jam. He even has his own spot near the TV so he has a front-row seat! Don’t worry though, he’s not interested IN the TV. He is a very playful and gentle kitty. He can be a bit hesitant at first, but his desire to be loved on always wins out and he turns into the cuddliest love bug. He is very laid-back and goes with the flow. He’ll let you know if you’re in by rolling over to expose his belly for scratches so he can get all of the rubs.

Story
Kyler is a super sweet guy looking for a family of his own. His coloring is the typical tuxedo coloring except he has an adorable white stripe down his nose. He is a purr machine and wants nothing more than someone to cuddle with and love him forever. Kyler also loves playing with toys, especially hair ties, and can be quite vocal during play with the cutest mews ever. He does not do well with other cats but would be okay with a cat friendly dog. Kyler is neutered, litter box trained, doesn't mind nail trimmings or getting his medicine. He is estimated to be born around June 2020. Kyler does have a heart defect which requires medicine every 12 hours. Even with the troubles Kyler has experienced with his health, he is still the most gentle and loving kitty. He is shy and has a bit of anxiety in new environments but warms up quickly! If you are reading this, we are still accepting applications on this pet. Please read the Adoption Process steps below.

Story
Meet our most sophisticated tortoise shell, Peugeot.  Although originally named Pudgy, this girl is a ball of cuddles and love, not pudge! Just 10 lbs.    Her coat is extremely soft and she adores being brushed or groomed.   Peugeot has had a tough few months.   Her human dad died and recently her cat buddy Berto passed away.   Even with all this to deal with, she never lacks affection for her new human friends.   While not a real active senior lady, she is content to be on laps, near laps, Kindle reading over your shoulder and maintaining security surveillance at the window either on the window sill or in her cat tree.    We are not sure of Peugeot’s exact age but her personal physician thinks  maybe 10 years young.   She is aware that at her age she must be careful of some of the foods that may make her kidneys work too hard.  She is a Weruva fan and a Tiki Cat influencer.    If you would like to meet her, please submit an adoption application through our website: www.feralfriends.org
