Meet this adorable group of 9 cats looking their next homes together or in pairs! These sweet kitties can be shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience and time to settle in, personalities begin to come out.

We looked outside our kitchen window one afternoon a couple of months ago to find this gorgeous little floof sunning herself on the hood of our car. We put out food for ferals (and get them fixed!) but we had never seen her before. Upon investigation, she was clearly feral but young enough that we could trap her and bring her inside. Madonna is what is known as a Spirit Cat: she was born outside and had no human contact in her critical first two months, leaving her wary of humans. She is not aggressive and is tolerant of human company, frequently climbing on the bed with me or approaching me curiously. However, she is skittish around people, does not like to be approached, and will probably never be a lap cat. She absolutely loves other cats and would be a great companion for a young playful cat or kitten who is in need of a friend. She would love to find a home with her friend Noel, also a Spirit Cat, and we would offer a discounted adoption fee to an adopter willing to take them together. However, Madonna would do well in any calm, patient home with a playful cat and without young children. She would be perfect for someone who already has an affectionate lap cat who is lonely and looking for another cat to play with. Madonna is so beautiful that simply admiring her from a distance makes us all feel honored! She is a long-haired beauty who has some Ragdoll features.     May 18, 2025, 8:58 pm
