Story
Paisley is looking for her forever home! She is a very sweet, gentle, quiet young adult cat. She takes a little bit of time to warm up, but once she does, she is very affectionate, purrs a lot, loves rubbing on your legs, and enjoys pets. She also likes sitting on the cat tree looking out the window. She does hide a lot of the time, but that's just what helps her feel safe! She would probably do best in a calmer home. Paisley came to us with stones in her bladder and needed surgery to remove them. She is on a prescription urinary care food and would need to stay on urinary care food for life unless advised otherwise by a veterinarian. Apply to come meet Paisley at www.pepperspalscatrescue.org/adoptfoster for the quickest response!

Story
Sierra is a friendly and playful cat who loves belly rubs and scratches. She gets along well with other cats but is a bit sassy to them at times so would do fine on her own too. She is cuddly but gives love bites when she's overstimulated or has had enough. Sierra's favorite things include dry food and big stretches! She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots and tests. **Sierra is FIV positive. Her FIV+ status does not mean she cannot be around other cats. She would only be able to give FIV to another cat via a hard bite, so she would need to be introduced slowly and properly to ensure no aggression. Sierra lives with other cats currently with no aggression issues, only a little sass. Sierra is also on prescription gastrointestinal food and will need to stay on this diet unless advised otherwise by a vet. Come meet Sierra!

Story
Jade is a particular, older lady who is very vocal and seeks out attention on her own terms. She can be affectionate when she wants to be. She loves to play and enjoys finding places to hide when she’s ready to rest. She came with another cat (Rory) whom she lived with before, but is indifferent towards them so would most likely be okay alone as well. Jade is front-paw declawed (not done by us at Pepper's Pals - we do not declaw). She also has early-stage kidney disease that will need to be cared for. Jade deserves a furever home to live out her golden years! For the fastest response, submit an application here: https://www.pepperspalscatrescue.org/adoptfoster

No adoption fee, we will supply all starting supplies and food! Sassparrilla is an AMAZING female orange tabby adopted from Indy IACS (they are aware we are rehoming her). She is bright, curious, and sometimes her last two brain cells are battling for first place. She is playful beyond belief and loves a good pat on the butt. Why rehome her, then? My husband and I are live-in caregivers for our aging, elderly parents and are relocating to a smaller, more accessible home that can accommodate their needs and need to find her a forever home. No adoption cost, we are happy to supply all starting supplies and her kibbl

Story
Cleo is a sweet stray cat caring for three young kittens. She is such a good mom that she took in an abandoned kitten that wasn't hers! Now, Cleo is the leader of their little troupe, which includes her own two kittens as well. Often overshadowed by the three babies she takes care of, Cleo is such a gem of a cat! She is long and lanky and absolutely gorgeous. She is often found sitting on our back steps, patiently waiting for her next meal. If we don't respond fast enough, she likes to jump up onto the banister so she can speak to us at our eye level! In fact, she's a natural climber: whenever we find muddy paw prints on our car's hood, we know Cleo has been around. Cleo has sacrificed a lot for her kittens, but she deserves a safe and loving home, too! If we didn't have too many cats as it is, we would adopt Cleo in an instant! She is a very easygoing girl who has endless patience for her kittens' antics, though I'm certain she would enjoy being a solo cat, too.

Story
Meet Daisy, a charming 2-year-old cat ready to fill your home with affection and playful energy! This loving girl enjoys nothing more than cuddles and attention, making her the perfect companion for cozy nights in. Daisy has a medium energy level, enjoying a balance of playtime and relaxation. Her favorite activities include chasing spring toys, batting at wand toys, and pouncing on the elusive laser pointer. After a fun play session, she loves lounging and being pet. Daisy also enjoys stepping outside for a bit in the garden. While she's generally relaxed, she does have her occasional zoomies! Daisy can be a bit vocal and is known for giving the occasional "stink eye," but her facial expressions are always entertaining. She's been around other cats and children but hasn't been exposed to dogs. She would do best in a home with moderate activity where she can be the center of attention. Ready to welcome this affectionate feline into your life? Please consider visiting shelbycats.com/adopt to begin the application process!

Story
Adoption Fee Reduced for December! Say hello to Buddy! Easygoing and Friendly are two words that perfectly describe him. Back in 2019, Buddy was fostered by his current foster mom. He was surrendered back to AOSC through no fault of his own and was adopted. No fault of his own was surrendered a second time in 2024-- he would love to find his FUREVER home. Buddy has a luxating patella, and it is causing arthritis in his knee. He has been responding well to Solensia shots, but that is an ongoing expense prospective adopters should be aware of. His foster mom has this to say about him: "Before coming back to me as a foster, Buddy was up for adoption at an adoption center, but was terrified at that particular adoption location. As soon as I brought him home, he has been nothing but sweet and affectionate! It has been fun fostering a previous foster of mine! Buddy loves human attention and loves to rub against your legs and be petted. He wants to be wherever YOU are! His foster home has 2 adult cats and he gets along with them very well. His last home he also got along with the other adult cat in the home. Buddy is curious and loves to sit and stare out the window. He LOVES Catnip and his favorite treats are Catnip Temptations! As a matter of fact, his favorite toys are filled with Catnip too! Buddy is a Good-Natured fellow who prefers to keep his space clean, including no bad litter box habits. This Handsome, Affectionate boy will be a great addition to a new family, and hopefully find the forever family that he deserves! Buddy is currently in a foster home. If you feel like he would be the perfect fit for your family, please consider visiting shelbycats.com/adopt to begin the application process!
