Bette Boo is my mom’s cat. She is a very lovely, sweet talkative cat that needs a home. Very affectionate and easy going. Very healthy and 11 years old. She would be wonderful for anyone. My Pops passed away very recently and we want my mom to live with us. We have several dogs and two are not cat friendly. Mom really wants Bette Boo to go to a loving home.

Story
Female, Spayed 5 years old Medium Hair Tuxedo Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines Meet Honey! After realizing that she didn't like sharing her humans with other cats, Lovepaws took in this sweet girl to help find her a wonderful and loving furrever home. She would love to be your one and only! She enjoys daily belly dancing and loves to hear how beautiful she is. She craves human company (except when she wants to be alone). Honey is as sweet as her name, keeps her claws to herself, and rubs up against hands, legs, arms, computers, furniture - all of it! As an advocate of work-life balance, she will very gently (but insistently) tap on your arm if you pay too much attention to your phone. Honey loves to play with string toys, lasers, and little toys she can chase. Her day usually starts with a drink at her water fountain before gently pawing her foster parents awake. Before breakfast, she shows off her belly, collects some head scratches, and rubs herself against everyone and anything. Zooooooommmming up and down the stairs, climbing the cat condo, and chasing toy mice complete her pre-breakfast workout. Honey loves watching the outside through her favorite window and finding a comfy place to nap. This girl needs you to follow her lead and take the time to get to know her. But her foster parents say her trust is worth the wait!   Interested in adopting? Of course you are! Submit an application here!    May 13, 2025, 3:13 pm

Male, Neutered 1.5 years old Gray- short hair Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines Meet Smokey! It’s the morning hours and a mysterious grey blob is wrapping around your legs, enveloping you. Is that-- smoke? Close. It’s Smokey! And he’s letting you know he wants food! After he’s full, the next thing he wants to do is cuddle, snuggle, to love, and be loved. He’s as bold as he is affectionate and will follow you around until he gets pets, pats, scratches, and rubs. He’d do well in any home including those with children, dogs, and/or other cats.

Story
 Meet Sky! Female 2.5 years old Domestic short-hair Litter box trained Sweet Sky was found outside by one of our fosters, after discovering that sky was put out and not welcome back into her owner's home, she became part of the Lovepaws family! It's unknown how long she spent outside but despite her history she is a loving kitty. While she is a little timid in her new home, and will need a longer adjusting period, Sky is a playful and affectionate girl. She enjoys lounging by the window, napping on the bed and running around playing. She is a independent sweetheart but also loves playing with kids. Sky is hoping to find her new home in the New Year! Don't miss your chance to have this gorgeous girl added to your family.  Interested in adopting? Of course, you are!
