Story
We found Nalani at 6weeks. Doctor predicted she was born August 18th 2022. She’s rare as orange tabby’s are only female 20% of the time. She has a very sweet disposition. Plays and loves children. Shes very snuggly and loves routine. Unfortunately we are renters and not allowed to have animals. We kept her outside but shes so little and petite she couldn’t defend herself against a bigger tom cat and we had to take her to the hospital. She really just needs to be loved indoors. We love and adore her immensely but we can’t keep her. Hoping she’ll get another loving home. Shes so full of personality and is so snuggly.

Story
Cat came into our lives in my kid's 4th birthday. She is 6 years old now, and owes her creative name to my son. Cat is an outdoor / indoor cat, and she likes to explore most of the day. At nigh-time, she will come for love and is super sweet. Once her shyness subdues, she will be very vocal and cuddly. 3 years ago our dog Scout came into our lives, and Cat never got used to it. Scout's behavior and territory is incompatible with Cat's. We have now realized she's not as happy as she used to be, and that is why we are looking to re-home her. Cat will need a home that understands her outdoor/indoor routine and is willing to give her an easy way out and in the house. In our case, we keep the window open and she climbs in and out. Once late, making sure she is in, we shut it until the next morning. Cat is up to date with her flea treatments, but it is overdue for two different vaccines. Cat eats kibble, usually 1/3 of a cup a day because she is aiming to lose some weight.

Story
Hello there, I'm Chikilin! Life in the shelter is fun, but I'm ready for my next big adventure. I'm young, full of energy and I love to play. I'm also super friendly, so I make friends easily. I love playing with toys, chasing laser pointers, and my absolute favorite is curling up in a warm lap after a long day of play. I've got a sweet and loving personality that's sure to win you over. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love and energy. Adopt me, and let's create beautiful memories together.

Story
Hi there, I'm Flounder! Life here is interesting, but I can't help but dream of a home. I love to explore, each corner holds a new adventure. I'm always up for a game of chase-the-feather or a good old-fashioned wrestling match with a toy mouse. I'm brave, too. No closed door or high shelf can intimidate me! But I also love quiet moments, like when I curl up for a nap after playtime. I'm sweet and curious, always ready to learn something new. If you're looking for a fun, loving, and adventurous companion, I'm your cat! To apply for adoption, please complete our application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/WCAR/Cat

Hi, I'm Halibut. I'm a young soul, full of curiosity and wonder. I'm a bit shy, but once I get to know you, I'll shower you with gentle purrs and soft nudges. I like my alone time, exploring corners and chasing shadows. I'm independent, but I cherish those quiet moments of companionship. I'm not demanding, I'm just happy with a warm lap and a soft hand to stroke my back. I'm sweet, gentle, and I promise to fill your life with quiet love and gentle joy. Adopt me, and together, we'll create a haven of peace and love. To apply for adoption, please complete our application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/WCAR/Cat

Story
(Orange)Julius little orange tabby boy can frequently be seen air born, though he is still working on graceful landings. We call this little guy “cat in a blender.” He has energy to burn, pausing only for naps, snacks and love. He is a big fan of pets and will happily curl up next to you, but has little patience for extended snuggles just yet; too many things to do!! He does like to follow his people around and see what they are doing, just in case anything needs to be eaten or knocked on the floor. He doesn’t mean anything by it. He loves us and feels free to share our food and question our decorating choices. Julius also loves just about everybody else. He made fast friends with all of the other cats in our cattery, our two big dogs, and even spends time watching our turtle and fish. So if you have room in your life for this energetic and loving little fellow, come by and meet him. (Available with the yin to my yang: Smudge, my brother!)April 27, 2024, 8:58 pm
