Story
Greetings from Rudy! Rudy is the sweetest mixture of lazy sunshine napper and kitty zoomie monster. He’s joined the local neighborhood watch so that he can bring you back the news from your street. He becomes attached to his humans he lives with and is the perfect Robin to your Batman any day. Rudy would do well in any home who can give him all the attention he needs (i.e. cherish him for the beautiful soul he is). He’s a young child and needs to be adopted with one of his siblings (Johnny, Tony or Vinny) or into a home with another young cat. Rudy is a playful cat who loves to break up his play time with a nap on your lap. He’s the best snuggle buddy and you’ll never have to sleep alone once you invite him into your home. He’ll greet you when you wal in the door and be your closest companion. Rudy is looking for his forever cuddle buddy today! . WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A SCREENER.

Story
Salem is a beautiful and endearing shorthaired tuxedo cat. He is an absolutely adorable young cat who is still feisty and active in his late kittenhood, but wonderfully gentle with "his people". He loves playing "pounce on it if you can" with a piece of string. He joined our family as a foster when a friend of the family had to move suddenly. Unfortunately, after many months of trying, Salem is simply not getting along with our longtime family cat, Tony. As much as we will miss him, we want Salem to have a happy forever home. We recommend a home with no other pets as we don't know how much of the issue is a "personal" one between Salem and Tony and how much is because Salem was never socialized with other pets/cats when young. Salem is healthy, up-to-date on all his shots, is fully litterbox trained and has been neutered.

Story
My late father recently passed away not quite two weeks ago. He left behind an American Shorthair Calico cat named Dolly. Dolly is 11 years-old and is beautiful (please see pictures) with bright green eyes. She is friendly, interactive, is a bit shy, but has always been pampered by him. She has been an "only cat" but I am certain she could adjust to other kitty's given time. My siblings and I are not in a position to take her in. I have tried every avenue I know about to try to directly rehome her but, apparently, many folks are not interested in adopting her as she is "special needs." In full disclosure, Dolly has hyperthyroidism, but has had two recent veterinary visits (I have complete records on her) and I have been told that her condition is "stable" and does not require special treatment at her age. Her shots are up to date and her nails are clipped. She is eating, drinking, and using her litter box fine and her weight is stable around five pounds.

Story
Hi! Someone gave me this black cat since they were moving away but now I can no longer take care of him for landlord reasonings and I have a busy schedule. I don’t know his name but I decide to name him Oreo. He’s about 7 months old. I only had him for about 2 weeks now but he’s such a cuddle bug. He loves to sleep(he sleeps in such silly ways) and play. He will start purring as soon as you touch him. He’s so sweet and silly. He’s shy at first but once he warms up he’ll be exploring everything.

Story
Crumbles wears her heart on her side for all to see. She is such pretty girl! Curious and sweet, she is sure to win your heart. She does not like to be held for long but is making slow progress & working on that with her foster family. She loves her cat toy wands and mice but isn’t a fan of most treats. She loves to see what her foster family is up to, and her presence always lights up a room. She does ok with good dogs and ok with other nice cats. Crumbles will shy away from her siblings if they play too hard for her taste. She would do best with being paired well in a super sweet cat home to avoid her potentially being bullied. She would also do well in a single cat family. Home is where her heart is and Crumbles is waiting for her forever one! rh
