Story
*Meow* I`m in a foster home. To meet me reach out to my foster caregiver at dreannasellers@gmail.comMeet Tangie! Only 20% of orange cats are female, so Tangie is a rare gem. She is a 3-year-old orange tabby who is equal parts sweet and sassy. This big, beautiful girl may take a little time to warm up, but once she does, she is incredibly trusting and wants to be right by your side. Tangie loves to flop down and show you her belly, purring away before settling in next to you for a quick snooze. She is the master of curling up and getting cozy in an afternoon sunbeam!But don’t let her napping skills fool you, Tangie is also goofy and playful. She loves entertaining herself with toys and watching birds on cat TV. Tangie has adapted beautifully to foster care and grows more confident every day. She’ll do best in a calm home where she can settle in at her own pace, and will reward her person with a loyal, bellyflopping, endlessly entertaining companion who never wants to leave your side.

Marshmallow was my first baby. However I have recently become a triplet mom and now it is just a bit too much for me to manage him with the new additions. I got him from a coworkers litter. Very chill and independent. But loves attention. Also does well as an indoor and outdoor cat.

Story
This sweet, cuddly, silly, and "Sassy Man" is looking for a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety who would love a pet parent who can relate, and show him patience. He grows more confident every day and has become a lap cat during movie or reading time. He lets me give him kisses now and is getting comfortable with getting picked up.He arrived at my door in Nov 2023 wanting food. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. I have 3 cats and he is bullied badly by one of them. I tried it all with no luck. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart and I know he misses sleeping on my bed and being out and about in the house. Being separated from my other cats has made him so much happier. He might do OK with a kitten or really chill cat, but I can't be sure. He had a P.U. surgery in 2024 and is on a urinary tract diet.
