Story
I adopted him from Orphans of the Storm, he's 6 years old and very sweet. He's playful, social, and very adventurous. We're looking for either a cat-only home or one with no pets at all. We attempted recently to move him in with our 4 dogs, and it just hasn't gone great. He's not mean at all to the dogs, they just don't really get along, and we want him to have the best home possible. I also am moving into a dorm and most won't allow me to take him, so it would mean a lot to give him a great owner that he could spend the rest of his life with.

Story
Beauty DOB: 6/3/25 Beauty is a bonded pair with her brother Sterling — they must be adopted together, and the adoption fee covers both cats. This beautiful girl is so perfectly named. Beauty is currently living her best life in her foster home, and while she is a more reserved kitten who takes time to build trust, she is VERY sweet and special — and absolutely worth the wait. She loves hiding spots when she needs a little space, and perches up high on the cat tree to survey her kingdom and soak up a sunny spot. Bird watching is one of her favorite pastimes. Beauty loves roughhousing and chasing her brother Sterling, and the two of them together are pure joy to watch. She has a sweet morning routine — rubbing against her foster mom’s legs while she brushes her teeth, just to remind her that it’s wet food time. She enjoys laser pointers, scratching posts, bells, feathers, and cat wands. She may take a while to feel fully at home, but once she does, she will sneak into bed with you at night and make herself right at home beside you. One more thing that makes her extra special: Beauty doesn’t meow — she squeaks! She gets along with other cats and is looking for a patient, loving home alongside her brother Sterling.

Story
Sterling DOB: 6/3/25 Sterling is a bonded pair with his sister Beauty — they must be adopted together, and the adoption fee covers both cats. To add some class to your house, Sterling is your guy. With the softest fur and a gorgeous coat pattern, this handsome charmer is absolutely stunning in person. He may come across as shy at first, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up — and once he does, he is social, affectionate, and loves human, canine, and fellow feline interaction. Just one look and this guy starts purring! Sterling loves belly rubs and is never shy about letting you know he likes you. He purrs constantly when being pet and can’t wait to find the perfect lap to curl up on. He likes to snuggle at night and spends his days enjoying his cat tree, bird watching from the window, and batting at laser pointers, cat wands, bells, feathers, and empty boxes. One of his very favorite things? Playing with and chasing his sister Beauty. The two of them are like Yin and Yang — inseparable and endlessly entertaining together. Sterling gets along well with dogs and other cats. He is looking for a home that will give both him and Beauty the love and patience they deserve.

Story
Tilly Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Grey Tabby Gender: Female Date of Birth: August 3, 2025 Tilly is a soft grey beauty with a heart full of curiosity and an endless supply of sweet. This charming little tabby takes in the world with wide, wondering eyes — every sound, every shadow, every rustling paper bag a brand new mystery worth investigating. She approaches life with a gentle boldness that is absolutely irresistible, and she has a way of making you feel like the most fascinating thing she’s ever encountered. Don’t let that curious streak fool you — underneath all that exploration is a truly tender girl who loves nothing more than settling in close once she’s taken stock of her surroundings. Tilly is the kind of cat who will pad softly into your lap at the end of the day and remind you that the world is actually pretty wonderful. She’s affectionate without being overwhelming, adventurous without being aloof — just the right balance of independent spirit and devoted companion. Tilly is ready to turn someone’s house into her personal kingdom — every windowsill her observatory, every sunny patch her throne, and every quiet evening yours to share together. She deserves a home that will nurture her curiosity and cherish her sweetness in equal measure. To apply to adopt Tilly, fill out an application on our website at www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org.
