Story
I actually have 2 cats, brother and sister. They need to be adopted together. The picture of the grey is female. They are loving cats, well behaved. Not looking for any money for them, just a good home. I am handicapped and moving into a facility that helps me pay my rent. My cats are 8 years old and I rescued them from a shelter when they where 3 months old. Very playful and healthy, been unable to take them to the vet for checkups, but they have never been outside my apartment. Female cat's name is Peeps.

Story
Super sweet 10 years young diabetic kitty that’s so social she could help you host a party! She loves getting pets and LOVES food. She would be great with kids and has lived with cats before, but unfortunately my resident cat and her don’t get along (I think it’s my cat that’s the problem). Heidi needs slow introduction, but is okay with calm, senior dogs. She loves attention and makes for the perfect cat. She is not declawed, but doesn’t scratch furniture. While she loves giving head bonks until she is petted, she is also a big fan of her mouse toys! Whether it's napping or playing, Heidi takes the number one spot! Heidi’s diabetes is well managed. She’s on an oral medication (Bexacat) and Fancy Feast to manage her diabetes. She uses a freestyle libre. All her supplies will be given to her adopter. Heidi is the best. Please consider giving her a loving home!

Story
Charlie is a sweet 7 year old male chihuahua/pit mix who weighs 27 pounds. He came in as a stray but we were able to get in touch with a previous owner who had was no longer able to keep him. They told us "Charlie had been fine around their older kid (tween) but they did not think he would do well with a baby. As they were planning to have more kids, they decided to rehome him." He is doing his best to stay housetrained at the shelter and would love to be in a home soon. On 3/11, a volunteer noted: He was sweet and easy to handle from beginning to end. He loved to be pet, walked nicely on the leash and pottied when taken outside. He was easy to return to her kennel and seems like a lovely pup!

I rescued the cat from a family who had children that were abusive. He is a very relaxed and lazy cat. He is 12 years old. He just needs a loving and caring companion. He is potty trained and does need to eat in small portions because he tends to over eat.

Story
We adopted Gator two years ago at the pet shelter in Aldan. He is a very cautious cat. He loves cuddles and is only vocal at meal times. He does not like nail trims or bath times. We have to outsource both those services to a groomer. We have to move shortly and our fur baby can not join us. We are looking for a loving home with lots of room to roam for our lovebug, Gator.

Story
Hi! This is Myla Star. She was born on January 1, 2021. Myla is a three-year-old tabby, has all of her shots, and is neutered. So other than her extra weight (because she loves food!), she is completely healthy. Myla is a talkative cat and will let you know what she's thinking, when she wants food, or when she is bored and wants to play. She even tends to meow after you sneeze! Her favorite toy of all is a sticky note crumbled into a ball. An important thing to note about Myla is that she is pretty shy and a scardey cat. If she hears a plastic bag she will run no matter what it takes! It also took some time for Myla to open up to us, and I feel this might just be in her personality. If you are looking for a brave and outgoing cat, Myla might not be for you. She needs a calm, loving, and patient home. A transition from one home to another won't be easy for her, but with time I promise you that she is worth it. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!

Story
Bette is a shy girl with people. She needs a family willing to work with her to gain her trust. She is sweet as pie, and very food motivated. She would make an exceptional companion to another cat. She loves her foster siblings and is often found snuggled up or playing with one of them. She is fine with dogs and has no issue telling them to "back off" when they get in her space. If interested in Bette, please fill out an adoption application at www.pldpaws.org, email with questions pldpaws@gmail.com.

She will send Anna Rose along with some of her food. Anna Rose can be adopted by herself or with her two sons Josh and Matty. They all love each other company.

Story
Matty is a handsome, smart, and very loving boy— This long-legged drink of water has even figured out how to open his screen door to let himself outside!! He lost his tail to a car accident many years ago, but is otherwise healthy, happy and very smart. He may have green eyes, but he’s not jealous-- he gets along well with his sibling- especially the equally handsome Josh. Matty would be best suited to a home with safe outdoor spaces, as he’s an explorer. These two boys are like humans...very close and will melt your heart!! He makes life a joy!! Josh is a quiet, mellow boy who loves lying in a warm window and snoozing. He’s been a bit lonely since his sister passed away, and would probably do best in a fairly quiet household, but he will warm your heart with his long stretches, purrs, and sweet face. Josh is very close to his caretaker and mamma, and would be happiest in the transition with his sibling Matty and with some access to a safe outdoor setting or a nice sunroom to watch birds. Matty and Josh’s current owner is having serious health problems and needs to relocate out of state to be closer to her family and to medical care. She will send Matty and Josh along with some of their food, Primal Pets Foods frozen cat food, which they have been eating for many years. To meet them please contact: catchancerescue@gmail.com
