Story
Lucy is the sweetest, most affectionate cat you will ever meet. Our family fell in love with her almost two years ago and she has been nothing but a delight ever since. Unfortunately our son developed ever worsening asthma and sinus infections about a year ago which we couldn’t figure out until he had allergy testing and he’s severely allergic to cats. The allergy meds are not effective and so the Dr is recommending we rehome her. Our boys are devastated. We are hopeful she will find a kind and loving family who will take good care of her!

Story
This is Simba. I call him Simba because when I found him I thought that he resembled Simba from the lion king. He seems to like to stay to himself sometimes but he also loves attention. In addition He has issues with his back legs. He can’t fully use them. He can stand and walk but he has trouble keeping his balance. I find it helpful to try to hold him in place while he eats and drinks to help with his balance. I’ve had Simba for a week and would love to keep him but due to financial issues I cannot afford to take care of Simba the way he deserves to be taken care of. Simba is a wonderful companion for anyone who is willing to put in the time to care for him and give him love.

Story
MUST REMAIN TOGETHER Tip & Cara are 6-year-old littermates who are a bonded pair. They are exceptionally friendly and calm and have a high desire for physical affection. Cara has unique traits too! She loves to sleep at the top of your pillow like a queen. These are incredible cats who have been unlucky in their lives. After needing to be rehomed after their owner became too old, they were adopted by a fellow GW student. We came to know Tip & Cara a year ago when this student, reached out for temporary care due to an ongoing family matter, and we have been caring for them ever since! Needless to say, it is the best thing we have ever done. Albeit bittersweet, the time has come to get Tip and Cara into the lifelong home they deserve. We hope you consider adding these wonderful cats to your lives.

Kitty is 2 years and old will be 3 in September. I travel a lot for work and am looking for someone who can be with him more. He loves kids, dogs, and cats. He likes to watch birds on tv and lay in his window bed.

Story
Spinach, Kale and Butterhead were rescued with their momma, Arugula, near a Hydroponic Farm and boy were they scaredy cats at first. Spinach is still a little shy but comes out for Churu and playtime. Once he's in your lap, he purrs so loudly and wiggles around to show his belly for skritches. We know he just needs a little more time to open up because he's a playful little guy once he's comfortable. It would help him tremendously to be adopted along with one of his brothers to continue building his confidence. He LOVES his crinkle balls and is an expert soccer player! This trio is so adorable and deserving of wonderful homes. We would love if someone wanted 3 kittens, but know that can be a tall order! They must be adopted into a home with other cats as they're playful and love to be with one another so they would enjoy company.

Story
Vera was rescued from a construction site where she was all alone and in desperate need of help. She was understandably very scared when she first came to us but she's come so far to get comfortable in her foster home! Vera loves to play and can't get enough toys! She's very athletic and chases the wand toys, ball tracks and everything else she can get her paws on. Vera is accepting of pets and can be a very sweet girl after she settles in but her potential new family should know she will need some time to get comfortable. We think she would do very well in a home with other kitties to play with as she enjoys being with other cats. To be considered as a potential adopter, complete an adoption application.

Story
Songbird is a sweet little girl that was named for her cute little chirps. She loves looking out the windows and zooming around her foster home, playing with her favorite birdie wand toy that she jumps super high to grab! Songbird was rescued with our other Fleetwood Mac kitties when their owner sadly passed away and she's ready to find a new forever home where she can hopefully have new kitty friends to play with. Songbird is a young girl under a year old and still very much a kitten. It would be preferred she's adopted to a family that already has other cats and no dogs.

Story
I got Toot in April 2018 in Austin Texas from a Shelter, he has been a great companion over the past 6 years! He loves to cuddle and follow you around. He loves his meal time, even some human food haha. He would be best suited in a home with no other animals so he can get all the love, he doesn’t love a ton of house parties, so a quiet home where someone is around a lot is perfect for him!

Story
Garbanzo (Banzo for short) is the friendliest cat we've ever met. He loves affection, sleeping in boxes, being pet, and playing with the fishing rod toy. We rescued Banzo off the street, got him neutered and shots updated at the shelter, and have been taking care of him for three weeks now. Unfortunately, cat allergies in our household are forcing us to rehome Banzo.
