Meet Buttercup! Buttercup is about 3 years old and is the sweetest fluff ball around. Buttercup enjoys nothing more than snuggling and getting lots of pets from her favorite people. She loves climbing in laps, giving hugs, and making biscuits. Since Buttercup is such a social butterfly, she would enjoy a home where she gets plenty of love and attention. Buttercup would likely do fine with cat-savvy children who know to be gentle. She has also lived with cats before and would likely do well with a cat friend if introduced appropriately. Buttercup has never been around dogs but is generally social and confident. She may do well with a cat-savvy dog if provided a thoughtful introduction. Buttercup had a bout of poor appetite and weight loss in the shelter setting that has since resolved. We suspect this was caused by stress in a strange environment, as Buttercup has had no other medical concerns and has rebounded well in her foster home. Adopters should monitor for decreased appetite during times of transition or stress and follow up with their vet if concerns arise. Buttercup will also require regular grooming to maintain her fluffy coat and prevent matting. ⭐ Buttercup is the sweetest girl with so much love to give! She is currently in foster care, so if you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and email foster@parl.org to set up a meet and greet. ⭐

Say hello to Miss Garfield! 🧡 This petite young lady has quite the story - she was found as a stray during the big RI blizzard and has been finding her footing ever since. While big changes can feel overwhelming at first, Miss Garfield shines in a calm, stable environment. In her foster home, she showed just how much she can blossom when she feels safe and secure. Miss Garfield may be a little shy when you first meet her, especially in a busy shelter setting, but don’t let that fool you! Once she settles in and feels at home, she is sweet and affectionate. She enjoys attention and enjoys social time with her people, showing her sweet and loving personality more each day. She would do best in a peaceful home with a slow, thoughtful transition. Miss Garfield may do well with respectful, easygoing pets or older children/teens who understand how to give her the time and space she needs to adjust. She does have a history of urinary crystals, a common condition that is typically well managed with a prescription urinary diet and routine veterinary care. Her future family should be comfortable monitoring her litterbox habits and staying connected with their veterinarian to keep her feeling her best. Miss Garfield is a sweet fluff with the kind of love that starts quietly and grows into something truly special. If you have a calm home and a soft spot for a shy-but-affectionate companion, she might be the perfect fit for you. ⭐ Interested in adopting?

Meet Jonesy! 🖤 Jonesy is a lively, playful senior who proves that age is just a number! This chatty, charismatic guy loves to stay engaged—whether he’s batting at toys, exploring his space, or striking up a conversation with his favorite people. He enjoys companionship and attention, but like any true gentleman, he appreciates being able to choose when it’s time for affection. In a calm, stable home, Jonesy’s fun-loving personality really shines. He’s the kind of cat who will keep you entertained with his playful antics and then happily settle in nearby when he’s ready to relax. He’d do best in a quieter household without young children or other pets, though mellow animals who respect his space may be okay with a slow, thoughtful introduction. Jonesy has a history of hyperthyroidism, which is currently well managed with medication. He’s feeling great and enjoying life, but he’ll need an adopter who can stay on top of his care, including: • Daily medication • Routine veterinary checkups with periodic bloodwork • General senior wellness care • Regular brushing to keep his coat healthy and mat-free Jonesy is a wonderful mix of playful energy and seasoned charm, and he’s ready to spend his golden years bringing joy and companionship to a lucky home. ⭐ Jonesy is currently in foster care. If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and email foster@parl.org to set up a meet and greet. ⭐
