Story
Bianca is a gorgeous, rich colored, beautifully marked tortie approximately two years old.  True to the nature of some torties she can be a little quirky.  Bianca was picked up as a feral kitten so she is very shy and it takes her some time to warm up to an individual.  She will need someone that is patient and is willing to give her time to adjust to a new environment.  Once she is comfortable she loves to be petted however she is not a big fan of being picked up and held.  She is still a kitten so she does like to play.  She does enjoy the companionship of another cat however she may bond well with her human by herself.  She is seeking her forever home. She will need to go to a home that is quiet and has no children as she is super shy and kind of quirky.  She has not been introduced to dogs and probably should not go to a home with dogs.  She is fully vaccinated and is spayed. All adoptions require an application at http://care-cats.org first.  ##1201564##

Story
My story starts with a case of mistaken identity. I was wandering around a neighborhood for months. Lots of people called me handsome and gave me head scratches and food. But no one really worried about me because another big orange cat named Rusty lived in the neighborhood, so everyone thought I already had a home. One day, a nice lady found me under her bushes when it was cold and raining. My coat is nice and thick but not thick enough for freezing weather! So, the nice lady started letting me take shelter in her garage. She then cleared up the confusion with the other Rusty and realized I was actually homeless. Henrico Humane Society placed me in a foster home and now I'm loving life!! The house is warm and dry. I'm grateful to have a choice of soft places to sleep, windows to look out, and guaranteed breakfast and dinner. I love being petted and brushed, playing with toys and just being near my foster mom. My foster mom says I'm a perfect gentleman with good house manners, a sweet disposition, and, of course, I'm very handsome.

Story
Hi, my name is Leo and it is lovely to meet you. Let me tell you a little bit about myself...I am a six-year-old, handsome and loving brown tabby with an affectionate personality.I found myself at the local animal control with my two sisters after our mom suddenly passed away. Thankfully, Henrico Humane Society stepped in to rescue us. My sisters, Missy and Priscilla, have found homes, but I am still patiently waiting for someone to want me.I am great with other cats and very easy-going. Give me a back rub or head scratch and you'll definitely get my appreciation. I enjoy spending my days in your company and snuggled up to soft blankets. I promise, you will not be disappointed if you give me a chance, I have lots of love to give.Since I can be a little shy in new situations and with new people, I would do best in a home that is quiet and relaxing.If you are looking for a quiet, affectionate, loyal friend, I am your guy.Please don't look any further."

Story
Hi, my name is Bella. I used to have a family of my own, but they decided to move far away and I wasn't invited. I am not sure why.I am a quiet, reserved girl who will quickly become friends when given a little love. And love builds up my confidence in new situations!! I am also a very sweet, gentle, loving, independent and playful girl. My foster mom says I am perfect and an "easy keeper". I welcome pet friend(s), but I prefer slow introductions. In my previous home the resident pup used to try to nip at me, so only cat friendly pups please.If you are looking for a forever friend of your own please consider me. My name means "beautiful" and on top of being a beautiful girl, I think we could have a beautiful life together.Sincerely, BellaApplications are reviewed on a first come first served basis, so we encourage you to complete an application at www.henricohumane.org/adopt-a-cat before coming to our next adoption event.

Story
Legolas (aka "Lego")  is a cat that likes to hang out with his people.  He loves to explore all the nooks and crannies of his home and spends a large part of his day checking in on his people, going between rooms if they are separated.  Lego loves a good string or fabric on a wand and is very active!   He is a very confident cat and needs another outgoing, playful cat or a playful cat-friendly dog.  He also loves to hang out in the window watching the birds or next to his people on the couch to curl up with you to get a good head scratch.  When he is tired of playing, he loves to get petted and be near his people.  He has long legs and a solid core, all the better to snuggle with!   Lego is big boy that is handsomely striped, sports a white chest, cute white paws and is about 1 1/2 years old.   ##1705120##

Story
In search of a new home for a kitty that’s has been through trauma and is in need of LOTS of love. He owner passed away suddenly in February. His previous owner prior to this died too. Manny needs a new owner this going to be patient. He’s been through a lot! He is declawed so will need to be an indoor cat. If I didn’t already have 3 cats and 2 dogs I’d keep him. He is on meds for allergies. I’m sure when his hair comes back, he’ll be just beautiful. Manny is definitely a lover not a fighter. He loves pets and engaging cat in lap paralysis sitting on you. He is very quiet and loves making biscuits. And who can resist his black heart nose?! Manny would make a wonderful companion!!
