Story
Meet Booker, he was found as a tiny kitten at the New Jersey airport 13 years ago and has been part of our family ever since. He filled our home with love, laughter, and countless cuddles over the years. Booker is our little social butterfly. He’ll happily greet you throughout the day and even hold a “conversation” with you! He’s a total foodie who loves cozy spots, attention, and snuggles. Most of the time, you’ll find him lounging in his favorite spot. Sadly, since welcoming our baby, we haven’t been able to give him the time and cuddles he deserves, but we were making it work. Yet, I recently found out I'm pregnant, we just moved to FL, my husband travels a lot for work, and we have no family or friends here that can help with the litter. So, after much thought and heartbreak, we’ve made the very difficult decision to rehome him. We’re hoping to find him a loving home! He is healthy, spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, litter box trained, and strictly an indoor cat.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.SMUDGE is a young, sweet soul who adores a good play session. His gentle nature makes him a perfect companion for quiet evenings, while his mellow demeanor ensures a peaceful coexistence. Smudge, though playful, needs a bit of time to adjust to new environments. His tender heart requires patience, understanding and love. Slow blinks help him relax and he enjoys neck and ear rubs.  Once he's comfortable, he will reward you with endless purrs and playful pounces.  Smudge really loves BELLY RUBS and will happily roll over for you to pet him.  Smudge is a sweet boy who does well with other cats, once properly introduced.  You can see him at the Kissimmee PetSmart.  He loves all the kittens there and will curl up with any of them.  They walk all over him and he just lays there contently.  TEXT Anita to adopt:  407-460-2305.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 10, 2025, 6:45 pm

Story
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice came to my house one day while I was feeding a neighbor's cat when they were away, and she decided to stick around. When she came to me she was pregnant (though less than a year old herself), so I continued to feed her and then got her fixed at the local shelter, thinking she would like to continue the outdoor life. Well, she definitely prefers being indoors, and is quick to warm up to new people. She is a serious cuddler, and will attach herself like velcro to anyone who shows her some attention. She is about a year old and has all of her shots and vaccines. I am fostering her but will be traveling soon and so I am hoping to find a permanent home for her quickly. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice would do well as an indoor-only cat, and because of her cuddly and sweet nature, would do well with kids and other animals, though she may need some time to slowly be introduced to other animals in the home.
