Story

Precious! Black cats are the SMARTEST. I've had 3 and all were so smart. My condo complex has a litter of kittens living under the sidewalk coming into my building. I was able to trap the father 6 weeks ago and took him to OAR and had him neutered, tipped and released because he and the black cat mother were mating. I was afraid she was pregnant and couldn't catch her before she had the litter of babies. My neighbor and I are feeding the kittens and they are just weaned to dry food. I want to get these kittens trapped and re-homes or to a no-kill shelter before the mother moves them or they become more mobile and are all over the complex putting them at risk. I cannot foster them as we have a 2 pet limit in our HOA rules, and I already have 2 foundling cats. Can you help? Attaching pictures. They are precious!

George is a six-year-old American short hair, with a beautiful orange coat and white paws. He is very affectionate and not afraid to ask for your attention, and loves to roll over for belly rubs. He is spoiled by affection and loves human treats like ice cream, mayonnaise, and occasionally milk. George grew up with another kitten, so he’s well trained around friendly cats, and hasn’t had no issues with dogs.

Story

Hi, I’m Leo. I’m an American shorthaired tabby. I’m orange with stripes and I love cuddles, butt pats and head rubs. I get anxious without my owner and I love quality time. I am a little chunky, but it’s all from love and great meals. I love tuna and McDonald’s chicken nuggets. My favorite toy is my red light and my catnip cactus. For therapy I love to scratch my nails and lick my coat. Cuddle time is my favorite and I love to talk.

Female, Adult

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cinder is a 4-year-old cat with a sensitive and observant personality. She can be skittish at first and takes time to feel safe, but once she builds trust, she shows her gentle and loyal side. Because of her shy nature, Cinder would do best with an experienced cat owner who understands how to work patiently with nervous cats. She needs a calm, predictable home environment where she can adjust at her own pace. A quieter household without a lot of chaos would help her feel secure. Cinder thrives with consistency and kindness. With time, patience, and understanding, she has the potential to form a very strong bond with her person. Some words to describe Cinder are sensitive, cautious, quiet, and loyal. She is looking for a patient, experienced home that will give her the time and stability she needs to truly blossom.
