Story
Hello! This is Luna. Luna is around 6 to 8 years old. She was given to us by a friend of a friend. Although we would absolutely love to keep her, we do not have the ability to. We need a foster or an adopter as soon as humanly possible as we cannot continue to house her. We believe Luna is an indoor/outdoor cat and we cannot accommodate to this long term as we live in the upper level of an apartment building with no access to outside space. Luna is incredibly sweet, probably the sweetest cat l have come to know. She is a cuddle-bug and loves to lay down with or near other humans, and even our other cats. She loves to be pet and will approach anyone, even if it is their first time meeting her. She is also very playful and loves to play with feathered toys. She does not love to be picked up, but will tolerate it for a few minutes.

Story
Meet Baylor - Your New Best Friend! Baylor is a 1-year-old male cat looking for his forever home. He may be a little shy at first, but once you start petting him, he’ll warm up to you quickly and show you his gentle, loving nature. Baylor is a true couch potato who loves lounging around and soaking up all the attention you’re willing to give him. He’s mellow, snuggly, and enjoys a calm, cozy atmosphere. Baylor gets along well with other cats, dogs, and children, making him an excellent addition to a family with other pets. He’s just looking for a safe space to relax, snuggle, and enjoy the simple things in life. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion to cuddle with, Baylor would be the perfect fit for you! He is currently in Tennessee, but can be transported Northeast to meet you.  If interested, please contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 2, 2024, 1:01 pm

Story
Meet Domino and Checkers! These inseparable sisters aren’t just family—they’re best friends. Playful, affectionate, and always side by side, their bond is unbreakable. Whether they’re napping, eating, playing, or exploring, they do it all together. When it comes to playtime, these two know how to have fun! They sound like a tiny herd of elephants as they chase each other around, full of energy and excitement. Currently in a foster home with other cats, Domino and Checkers are well-socialized and enjoy the company of their feline friends. Domino is the adventurous, social butterfly of the pair. She loves being in the middle of everything and won’t miss a chance to be part of the action. With her soft purrs and love for cuddles, she’ll quickly steal your heart—especially when she’s curled up on your lap, soaking in all the affection. Checkers is a little more laid-back but just as loving. Once she warms up, she’ll be right by your side, snuggling up while you sleep and seeking out pets and treats. She’s also a fearless climber—cat trees and tall towers are her absolute favorite! The higher, the better! If you’re looking for a pair of sweet, playful, and affectionate companions, Domino and Checkers are ready to bring double the love into your home! Domino & Checkers are spayed, up to date with their vaccinations for their age range, FELV/FIV negative, and litter-box trained. If you are interested in adopting this pair please complete our adoption application Www.fabsrescue.com/applications

Story
Mint was trapped outside with his siblings and made some socialization progress in foster care. Mint is taking his own pace in making friends with us but with the help of his kitty friends he has started to become more comfortable and curious! With continued socialization, we know Mint could blossom into a spoiled pet. We best believe Mint would do best in a home with no children and would have to have a feline companion(s) to show him the ropes. Mint is a young adult, neutered, UTD on vaccinations, FIV/FELV NEGATIVE and microchipped. If you are interested in Mint, please fill out a feline adoption application at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=28
