Story
My name is Carlee!. I'm very curious (surprise...I'm a cat after all) & very smart to the point that when my foster mom gets home, she often finds several cupboards & drawers open but I'll never tell her what I was trying to find. I really enjoy playing, especially chasing toys on a string with a human waving it around for me. Cuddling is just not my thing but I really do enjoy being petted even if I'm a bit standoffish at times. You can always get my attention with catnip, it's simply divine, and cat treats! I like to hang out above the action so I can see what's going on & sleep in a cat bed up on a shelf. I live with other cats in my foster home but I'd really rather be an only cat so I hiss & grumble at them all the time.

Story
I am GoldenEyes, the gallant and gentle-hearted. I can tell when you aren't feeling well and will come to be near you in case you need comfort. I have short hair so when I get cold, I like to snuggle in a bed or even better, find my foster sister and snuggle into her long fur. We recently moved into a new place that is much bigger than our old foster room so I'm adjusting to the new place with lots of play and I like to be held like a baby while you pet me. It makes me feel loved and safe. My foster sister, Princess Valentina, is my best friend and I would like to be adopted with her. She's a little more confident than I am so she helps me come out of my shell. We love to wrestle together and play tag. We have not been around dogs or kids so being adopted into a home without small children or dog would be the best option for us.

My name is Jill and I am a gentle, shy kitty who is looking for a forever home who will give me time to come out of my shell like my foster Meow-mmy did. I have intense, jade eyes and the cutest white paws. I am not a fan of being picked up but will come to you for pets. I would really like to be adopted with a confident kitty who can show me the ropes unless of course you already have a kitty at home who needs a best friend. Dogs are ok as long as they are calm and let me be a cat.

Story
She is a very sweet girl who prefers humans to cats. She gets a little bit antsy in her kennel but when she calms down she is hilarious and loves to play with toys. She throws them in the air like frisbees. This girl would do best in a home with no other cats. She may be okay with a dog if given a slow introduction.

I am a cuddle-bug and love to sit in a lap for head scratches and tummy rubs! I like to be in the midst of everything and know what is going on at all times, however I do get startled easily. I can handle a mellow dog that would ignore me but would prefer to be in a dog free home. I must have another cat or kitten in the home for a playmate. My favorite toys are springs, laser pointers and sparkly balls or balls I can pick up in my mouth! I absolutely love to chase it around and then pick it up and move to a new location! I would do well with gentle kids too. Do I sound like the right fit in your forever home?

Bingo - aka Bing-a-Boe. Me, I am an explorer, there is not a corner or under the bed I have not been to. I might cuddle, I might not, depends on if I have somewhere to be. Just know that if I do decide to cuddle that I have CHOSEN YOU! That is right, and you better be putting your device down because it is all about me and some head scratches and tummy rubs! I like to hang with my sister and the other cats in my foster home. So other cats or dogs are a must! Do you think you could handle me for a lifetime? I think we could do some exploring together!

Story
MEET WHSIKERS! My name is Whiskers! I have a deep rumble purr and love to be in your presence. I don't need lots of pets and attention. I enjoy sitting right on top of you when we cuddle. When I need attention, I'll ask for it and then quickly let you know when I'm done. I'm not picky and don't need much, except I don't want to share you with anyone else, so I have to be an only cat. Small children make me nervous, so I want to live in a calm family with older kids or no kids. I would do best with someone who has owned cats before and is able to read my body language. I keep myself clean and use my litter box perfectly! If you're looking for a low-maintenance cat who will provide you with undemanding companionship, I'm your gal!! She has excellent cat manners, cute chirps and is the best gal! She has also had her dental done, up to date on vaccines and had great bloodwork!

Story
Meet Jack! Jack and Gus are a bonded pair of brothers and must find a home together. Prior to coming to Whiskers these boys definitely had a hard life. We have done a ton of medical care on them, they have both had complete dentals, bloodwork FIVFELV negative. They are the sweetest boys. They are playful, the age we have on them as an estimate based on teeth, body shape etc. We estimate them to be around 10 year old. They do play like they are younger boys so it could be that they were neglected medical care for their entire life before coming to us so their teeth were bad. They were previously adopted, and when the family had to move in with the in-laws due to mold in their home, Jack and Gus struggled with the high energy dogs in the home. They may do OK with a super calm older dog, but they would prefer to have a gentle, calm home. All of our cats are fixed, vaccinated, vetted, and come microchipped too. Many have had recent dental and bloodwork done as well.

MEET BO! This girl is a great kitty in the home, she does not show well at events and it has prevented her from finding a home. Bo is a lap kitty, she will hang out with you and enjoys the time she spends with you. She would be a wonderful addition to a home needing a kitty friend. She is easy-going generally but dose have some sass, she does well with cat savvy older children and with a proper slow introduction would do well with a cat friend or cat savvy dog.

Adopt Nina Marie! This little gal is absolutely precious, she came to us after her human mama passed away. She had been living as a community cat her entire life we expected her to be under socialized but she is anything but that. Her previous humans daughter has sponsored her veterinary care to get her feeling her best! She loves her indoor life! She is absolutely the sweetest little dainty gal you will ever meet. Nina is very smart, she does great with other kitties with a proper slow introduction and being hard of hearing doesn't hold her back at all! Nina did have the I-131 treatment to correct her thyroid, no meds for this girl and she has responded beautifully, she is doing fantastic. She has had a dental, senior bloodwork and had her thyroid retested to confirm successful procedure. anyone would be so blessed to have this girl as your baby! As with all seniors she will need annual bloodwork & exams. She eats like a champ and is a LOVELY girl

Link is an amazing, loving and smart boy! Link loves his humans very much! He is a special needs boy due to him having food sensitivities and diabetes. His diabetes is well managed through diet and insulin. We would show any potential adopter or permanent foster how to care for him. It really is quite easy! Link would be an amazing emotional support cat, he walks on a leash, plays like a kitten and would do best as the only cat due to his dietary needs of canned food only. We are looking for an adopter or a long term/permanent foster (this means we would continue to provide his insulin/medical needs) Our diabetic kids sadly often never find a home which is devastating for these kitties! They are just as wonderful as any cat with a little extra care! Link is easy to care for and even easier to LOVE, he is an amazing boy! Link has had a complete dental (no teeth) and regular vet care with us as well If you are willing to learn about his care please submit an app so we can chat!

These pups are in Salt Lake City, Utah too!

Moobie is 14-15, he grew up with a kitten and likes to spend most of his day laying in your legs or chest. He has dementia, the symptoms include nightcalling, loss of bladder control and a hankering for any food. He loves ranch and will plot to take it from you. He’s a calm, sweet cat and we are letting go of him due to the nightcalling and apartment rules.

Story
Scottsdale, AZ Sebastian is a GORGEOUS six-year-old purebred Bengal cat from an award-winning TICA breeder located on the East Coast. He has DRAMATIC rosettes and the most eye-popping glitter. When his family moved to Arizona six months ago, they moved into a home with other cats present. Although Sebastian hadn’t been around cats before, this family was very experienced with cat introductions and they were sure in due time, they would eventually be successful. Sadly, they were not. Due to the living situation, they have had to make the agonizing decision to place him in a loving forever home that is “cat-free.” Sebastian’s family fell in love at first sight with him. He has never met a stranger. He is one of the most loving, entertaining Bengals we have ever brought into our program. Sebastian’s family will do EVERYTHING to ensure this guy finds the perfect match. Here’s what you should know about Sebastian: LOVES both men and women LOVES to be held (Seriously!!!) LOVES to run on his cat wheel Eats only Raw food **NO EXCEPTIONS** Not treat-motivated. NO DRY FOOD. Would do well in home that has prior Bengal experience May do well with a LARGE cat-friendly dog WILL NOT do well with a cat or any small creatures in the home Has not been around children. For this reason, no children under the age of 14. Sebastian absolutely loves to be with people - at all times. He is not overly demanding or overly vocal. If his humans are busy, he will happily jump on his cat wheel or entertain himself with every toy that he comes across. Or take a nap. Sebastian has several nicknames - “Bug” and “Goober” being a few. He loves his 8’ tall cat tree and all the various perches and toys that he has been showered with. He’s a really happy guy. Sebastian is NOT destructive. He is obsessed with one drawer in the office that has nothing in it. We’re not sure why. He enjoys opening only that one drawer - does not disturb anything else. This boy has PURRFECT litter box skills! Sebastian is happy sleeping in a warm sunny window, or in your lap while you chill and Netflix. He is prone to separation anxiety, so if you work from home and your travel is limited, he would be a great match for you. Sebastian is an ATHLETE. He is used to living in a large home where he can race around and get in his laps. For this reason he would not be suitable for apartment-living. This boy loves his “Purrfect Go Fur It” teaser toy, electronic puzzle box, standard puzzle box, and will play fetch with wine corks! Sebastian has the funniest habit - when he eats, he licks the bowl completely clean. No dishwasher needed (just kidding but it is funny). Another funny habit - as soon as he is done eating, he will take a 20 min bath until he is soaking wet. Speaking of water - this boy LOVES water. He has two water fountains but one of his favorite things is to make his humans turn on the bathroom water faucet - water “on demand.” Honestly we could go on and on. This guy is remarkable on every level. Sebastian is neutered, FeLV / FIV negative, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been extensively genetically tested. Sebastian is a strong and healthy boy. Due to his Raw diet, he will need a home that can afford the expense (he loves Darwins Chicken and Vital Essentials Rabbit).

Story
Juniper is just over 2 years old and Hollywood is about 1 year old. They are very sweet and mostly well-behaved as far as cats go, Juniper has a bit of an obsession with water/sinks. These cats are very loved but we are moving out of state soon and just can't take them with us. They have never lived with dogs or kids, so no idea if they're good with either. They are bonded and need to go to a home together- please don't ask about one cat, you must be ready to take both.
