Rogue is the sweetest little torti girl. She loves napping on her cat tree by the window and will paw at you for head and butt scratches. She will endlessly purr as long as you're giving her attention and even purrs while eating! Her little chirps and unique traits make her even cuter. She will do great as a solo cat or in a multi-cat household and even does great with cat-savvy dogs. Rouge is around 9 months old (estimated birthdate of 2/14/24) and is: -Spayes -Microchipped -Vaccinated (up to date for their age) -Dewormed -Come with a lifetime supply of love Please email info@soulanimalshelter.org if interested in adopting!

Story
Scotty and Diana have been hanging out in one of my grandmas spare rooms since we trapped them back in mid December. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they need to be out by the 1st of February!!! We need a long-term foster, and QUICK!! Have a spare bedroom for these easy keepers? Litter box trained, no spraying or marking and both are altered! Everything you need will be provided, food, litter, veterinary, EVERYTHING! They're both former ferals, so they take some time to warm up. My grandma is now able to pet Scotty Diana takes a little longer to warm up, but was rubbing against my Grandma's leg by the 3rd week! Home check required

Story
What a handsome boy! Tom Collins is playful kitty with the most stunning eyes. He is just over a year and enjoys the company and play of his foster kitty siblings and even the small dog in the home. Even though Tom tested positive for FIV, he will still live a long and vibrant life. He can be adopted into a home with other cats as long as they like to play. Currently he has a fun time racing around the house, diving under rugs and hurdling over windowsills - so fun to watch! This long tall drink of water can leap at least 4 feet in the air to catch a toy! Then he'll curl up right next to his foster Mom and sleep on her shoulder. What a cuddly cool cat! If Tom is right for you, let us know! We'd love you to meet him!

Story
Get ready for the greatest love of your life!!!In Fancy's words:  “My brother, Grayson and I were care for by a kind lady who rescued us from a life outside. I tend to feel more comfortable with other boy cats. I miss my brother who has his new family. I am happy for him, but I still miss him. I am quite playful, with lots and lots of energy! I am very affectionate with people and may be a good match for a family with OLDER children to keep me busy. I have to admit that I like to knock things off counters to get attention. I am okay with most dogs, as long as they won't chase me.”  As with all our foster cats/kittens, Fancy has been altered, microchipped, and has been tested for FIV and feline leukemia. Please email Shelley at stelmach_emergency@yahoo.com for more information this cutie.    THE ADOPTION FEE FOR DOGS/PUPPIES VARIES GIVEN AGE, BREED, ETC..  All have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Grover, a handsome black cat, is looking for a special family who can offer him the love and patience he needs to blossom. While he may seem shy at first, Grover has a gentle heart and a lot of potential.After a rough start in life, Grover has spent over a year and a half in foster care. Unfortunately, his early experiences have made him fearful of people. However, with the right care and understanding, Grover could learn to trust and love.Grover is a curious and independent cat who enjoys exploring his surroundings. Hes comfortable coming out to eat and will often be found venturing outside at night. But during the day, he prefers the safety of his hiding spot. While Grover may not be ready for physical affection just yet, he's a gentle soul who doesn't scratch or bite. With time and patience, he could learn to appreciate the comfort of a loving human touch.Are you the patient and understanding family who can help Grover overcome his fears and discover the joy of companionship? If so, Grover would love to be part of your family.He has been neutered, has a microchip and his shots.

Story
T'Challa: The Gentle Warrior Seeking Her Forever Safe HavenMeet T'Challa, a magnificent, short-haired black cat whose incredible spirit has endured unimaginable hardship. This beautiful girl, listed as an American Shorthair, is more than just an adoptable cat; she is a survivor yearning for the peace only a loving home can provide. T'Challa is the sister of Grey, who is also seeking a forever family (please note: they are not a bonded pair).T'Challa carries the invisible scars of a life lived rough. When she was saved by Rescue Street, an organization focused on finding loving homes for pets who have been abandoned or mistreated, she was painfully thin and matted. She has since had a beautiful "glow up," but the emotional trauma remains. The tip of her ear is gone, a sign of her time in the field before rescue, telling a story of survival on the streets. Her deep-seated fear and shyness suggest she was likely attacked by a large dog in the past; because of this, big dogs are not a good fit for her future.Right now, T'Challa is a shy and timid girl, still working tirelessly to adjust to the unbelievable comfort of indoor life and learning that humans can be trusted. She is incredibly gentle and not aggressive at all, even though she often needs the safety of a hiding spot to feel secure.But look closer, the love is there!T'Challa is desperately trying to connect. You'll know she is nearby because she sweetly vocalizes to you from her safe space, a quiet sign of her longing for companionship. For the person patient enough to wait, the reward is profound:She is a confident foodie: She won't let you forget a meal! She loves her food and will clearly "say" when she is hungry.She has a massive heart waiting to unlock: Once she feels truly safe, T'Challa is an astonishingly affectionate cat. She loves pets so much that she will melt, literally slopping over onto you, turning into pure, gentle devotion.T'Challa doesn't need a perfect home; she needs a hero. She requires a quiet home with no large dogs to ensure her peace of mind. She would be an excellent solo pet but will learn to love other cats. If you are the person who recognizes that T'Challa is not broken, but merely waiting for unconditional love to heal, she needs you.We are seeking a patient, understanding adopter who can offer the time, space, and encouragement this gentle soul needs to finally blossom into the confident cat she deserves to be. Providing a calm, predictable environment is the key to letting her quiet, gentle personality shine through.If you are ready to open your heart to a sad story and witness the beautiful transformation of this brave survivor, please fill out an adoption application today. Give T'Challa the chance to know what true, permanent safety feels like. Please visit our website www.rescuestreet.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
