Story
Blue was a feral cat that we TNRd with the Humane Society. Our HOA has been furious about us releasing him back in the neighborhood and has levied massive fines on us. It's very unfortunate because he's a great cat who loves kids, dogs, and other cats. He likes to come inside to take naps with our dogs, but is very insistent on going outside when he's awake, and that is why we have not been able to adopt him. He'd do best in a place where he could come and go as he pleases.If you want two cats, the orange one might want to go with him. He is the one who found Blue, and they have become best friends. He's slightly older. I think Milo is 7 and Blue is 4.https://www.instagram.com/northstarnuisance?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Story
Meet Silverio – Our Chunky Hunk with a Sensitive Tummy and a Heart of Gold. Silverio isn’t just a cat—he’s a whole vibe. This gloriously chunky gentleman is equal parts sass, smarts, and snuggles (with a dash of drama). He’s living his best life on a hydrolyzed diet due to a sensitive GI system—and get this, he actually sticks to it! Even with tastier temptations nearby, this foodie follows the rules. At first, Silverio might play it cool. He’s been through a lot (have you tried digesting life with a sensitive tummy?), but once he feels safe, he transforms into a love-seeking missile. Expect head butts, purrs, and the occasional excited nibble—think of it as a spicy little love tap.He’s now leaner, comfier, and officially liking his catio cat-mates. He’s also become much more open to pets and cuddles, and approaches for pats to his cheeks, head, chin, and upper back....... Absolute heaven.Silverio needs an experienced human who understands that true love sometimes starts with slow blinks and ends with full-on cuddle puddles. If you’re looking for a hilarious, handsome cat, Silverio’s your guy.Silverio is at our Punta Mita Location and can easily be flown to the nearest airport to YOU in the USA or Canada!He has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available Please send us an application at : wetnosesrescue.org/adoption-application-Cats

Meet Kaspurr – Sweet, Social, and Ready to Charm YouKaspurr loves to explore, play, and—most of all—snack on his favorite treats. He’s social with both people and other cats, often found lounging in the catio with friends or purring up a storm in a cozy bed.True to his name, Kaspurr has one of the loudest, most soothing purrs around. He thrives in calm, loving environments and would do well as a solo cat or as a companion to another friendly feline.Now that his siblings have been adopted, it’s Kaspurr’s turn to find a forever home that will adore him just as much. Could that be yours?Kaspurr is currently at our Punta Mita location, and he’s ready to fly straight into your arms—anywhere in the U.S. or Canada!He has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available Please send us an application at : wetnosesrescue.org/adoption-application-Cats

Meet Iris – A Loving Lady Looking for Her Forever Home!*Currently located in our Punta Mita, Mx. location and can easily be flown to the airport nearest to YOU ~ in the USA or Canada!Iris is a calm, affectionate cat with a gentle nature and a heart full of love. She enjoys being petted and will happily snuggle with you, but she also has a playful side and loves interactive play sessions.Having recently raised three adorable kittens — Yuri, Lau, and Ces — Iris is now ready to enjoy some well-deserved pampering and quiet time of her own. While she’s sweet and social, the busy, rambunctious environment of the Catio is a bit overwhelming for her, so she would thrive best in a calmer household. She LOVED her kittens (and still does)- but is so ready for a home of her own!!Iris would do well as the only cat in a home, or with another quiet, easygoing feline companion who appreciates a gentle friend. She’s looking for a family that will give her plenty of love, attention, and cozy spots to relax and enjoy life.If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate cat who will happily share quiet moments and occasional play, Iris might just be the perfect match for your home!Iris has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping Please send us an application at : wetnosesrescue.org/adoption-application-Cats

Story
Here is our striking girl Mili! She is great with kids and people who come for our Cat Yoga.....but unfortunately many people choose the kittens over her. She needs her chance at a furever home.Mili is small, adorable, has been exposed to gentle dogs but does not like being with so many other cats. She lives in our Catio space with many younger kittens and she will avoid them or growl to give herself space. We suspect she would do fine in a home with a friendly cat sibling, just not so many.She loves pets, chin rubs, affection, and all the love! Whoever adopts her will be so lucky to have her. Reach out today and we can send some videos of her.She has current vaccinations, is spayed, and is litter trained. The "purrrrfect" catMili has had our complete Cat protocol :* Complete Health exam by a Vet* Feline tests to rule out FeLV, FIV & Heartworm* Bloodwork 1: CBC (Mycoplasma check if indicated)* Bloodwork 2: Chem profile* Deworming at intake and monthly thereafter* Vaccines: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Feline Distemper (FP), Calicivirus (FCV), Rabies* Spay/Neuter* Flea/Tick prevention* Microchipping available
