Story
Borken is a stunning calico sporting a single back leg that could easily be confused with a breadstick, and two working front legs. Borken didn't have the best start to life. She suffered two broken back legs, a broken pelvis, and a broken tail. It took quite awhile to get her feeling better. In spite of all of that, she has the kindest spirit you could ask for. She loves neck scratches, pets, and love. She just asks that you avoid her tail. She makes hoards of biscuits and will flip-flop back and forth, begging for pets. She is gentle with other cats and enjoys a good wand play session. Having only two working legs never slows her down. She even loves playing on cat trees! Borken does have some special requirements due to her injuries and megacolon resulting in an obstipation history. She has a prescription wet food that helps keep her digestive tract moving. She also gets ¼ to ½ tsp of Miralax in her wet food. Besides these two things, she moves about, plays, and climbs extremely well. Borken doesn't let what happened to her stop her from enjoying life, and she is ready to find someone who will love her just the way she is.

Story
Meet Reishi, a sleek and mysterious 5-year-old black cat with a heart full of untold stories and a spirit as resilient as her namesake. Reishi is a soul in search of a patient and understanding home where she can truly blossom. Reishi's low-key demeanor and independent nature make her an ideal companion for someone who values tranquility and understands the beauty of earning trust over time. While she may initially be reserved and prefers to keep her paws firmly on the ground, she'll gladly accept affection on her own terms, reveling in the gentle strokes of a loving hand. Reishi's FIV+ status and grade 2 heart murmur add an extra layer of uniqueness to her story, but it certainly doesn't define her. FIV is a feline-only virus that lowers a cat's immune system. With regular vet check-ups, many FIV+ kitties live long lives. FIV+ kitties can live with other cats as long as there is no fighting, as the virus is only passed through deep bites. While Reishi's compatibility with other cats remains uncertain, she seems unfazed by most things, suggesting she could potentially coexist with the right feline friend. Reishi is a mystery waiting to be unraveled, a soul yearning for a patient and compassionate companion to share her journey with. If you're willing to open your heart and home to this beautiful black cat and earn her trust one gentle gesture at a time, Reishi will reward you with a lifetime of quiet companionship and unconditional love. Reishi is approximately 5 years old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FeLV negative. Adopters will receive an adoption package of goodies valued at around $100 if you visit one or both of our Petstore partners after adoption (Tabby & Jacks and All Paws). Misfit Felines Inc is a foster based 501(c)3 rescue. All of our cats are in foster homes. The first step in the adoption process is to submit an application.

Story
Meet Pixie 🖤🧡 Pixie is a beautiful tortie girl with a gentle soul and a playful spirit. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she realizes she’s safe and loved, she quickly blossoms into an affectionate companion who enjoys attention and companionship. Pixie absolutely adores other cats and often makes feline friends before warming up to humans. She would do wonderfully in a home with another friendly kitty to help her feel comfortable and confident. When she’s not snuggled up with her cat friends, Pixie loves chasing fast-moving toys and showing off her playful side. Watching her zoom after her favorite toys is guaranteed to make you smile. Pixie is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the time she needs to settle in and show her sweet personality. Once she trusts you, she will reward you with love, loyalty, and endless charm. Pixie is an FIP survivor. FIP is a mutation of feline coronavirus that can happen in some cats who have lower immune systems or who have a genetic predisposition. There is no continued care required after treatment. Most cats have been exposed to feline coronavirus and only a small percentage will experience a mutation. You can read more about FIP here: https://www.sockfip.org

Story
Introducing Gio — tuxedo, gentleman, professional lounger, and part‑time commentator on all things happening in his kingdom. Gio is almost a year old and has already lived quite the adventure. He was found in Chicago unable to walk due to a leg or hip injury, but after healing like the resilient champ he is, he’s now fully recovered and ready for his next chapter. This boy is sweet as can be, but he’s not shy about sharing his thoughts. Whether he’s judging your snack choices, offering feedback on your décor, or announcing that it’s time for pets, Gio always has something to say. He loves relaxing in cozy spots, but he still gets bursts of kitten energy that remind you he’s young, fun, and full of life. If you want a cat with charm, character, and a touch of comedic timing, Gio would love to audition for the role of your new best friend.

Cam is an adventurous boy who loves to explore and investigate everything around him. He especially loves interacting with his people and will follow you anywhere in order to be close to the action. He will play with anything of intrigue, including pens, bottle lids and various other household items. He loves to climb upl the cat tree to explore the world from a new height. Cam has quite a bit of energy and loves to run around exploring and playing, but balances it out with lots of sleepy time. He loves to sleep for hours laying pressed up against you and, given the chance, will cuddle up to you. Cam will even put his paw in your hand when he is particularly comfortable, so you can gently pet it. This is a kitto with lots of love to give.  Cam is an FIP survivor.

Story
Let me introduce our momma, Aimee Leigh. She was found outside and heavily pregnant. She won over the hearts of her finders with a roaring purr and very affectionate personality. She has a unique little kink in her tail that suggests a hard past, but she is very trusting with everyone she meets. She attempted to have her litter of kittens on an office chair while her foster mom was working remotely due to a large snow storm. She then entrusted her foster dad to watch over her. She looked so proud of each tiny baby. Now that her kittens have grown up, she is ready to find her forever family. Someone who loves to have a cat follow them around and tell them about her day. Someone who will give her belly rubs and let her head bump their foreheads. She gets along with other cats given a slow introduction, but she would also be happy to be the only cat to soak up all the attention she can get. She needs to find someone who will be her partner in crime. Someone who dotes on her and will let her dote on them back. Are you that someone?

Story
Parmesan is a micro-panther who loves love. He is constantly purring and wanting attention— and snacks. He plays hard with his siblings and he absolutely cannot resist the moving lump under a blanket— ATTACK! He can’t wait I be your best friend and save you from blanket monsters. Parmesan is up-to-date with vaccines, does great with his litter box use, and does great with other cats. He would do best in a home with a kitty friend. He has not had experience with children or dogs, but with slow introductions he should adapt well
