Story
 HONEY Female, Spayed 5 years, 10 months DSH Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative  Prefers to be an only cat, not tested with dogs Meet Honey, Your One-and-Only Sweetheart!  Looking for a loyal, affectionate, and absolutely adorable feline companion who only has eyes for you? Look no further, Honey is here to steal your heart (and your office chair). After deciding she’s not into sharing her humans with other cats, Honey joined LovePaws to find her perfect one-and-only home. She's dreaming of a peaceful kingdom where she can reign as queen—with you as her loyal subject (and cuddle buddy). What makes Honey special? She’s a professional belly dancer, her daily performances are purr-formance art. She adores compliments: tell her she’s beautiful and she’ll reward you with headbutts and purrs. She’s all about that work-life balance: she will gently tap your arm if you're giving your phone more attention than her. She’s sweet, gentle, and respectful: she keeps her claws to herself and shares love generously. Her ideal day includes sipping from her water fountain, waking her humans with soft paws and snuggles, zooming up the stairs for a pre-breakfast workout, and bird-watching from her favorite window perch. She loves string toys, lasers, and anything she can chase—and after playtime, she’s all about a cozy nap. Honey is spayed, vaccinated, combo tested negative, and ready to bring joy, laughter, and love into your life. She may take a little time to open up, but once she trusts you, you'll have a devoted best friend for life. Give Honey the solo spotlight she deserves—you won’t regret it! Ready to adopt?

Story
She was found under a bush as a kitten. we've had her for about a little over a year now. She gets along with some of our other cats and not with a a few others. But the ones that don't like her beat her up often. She's sweet but timid and takes a long time to warm up to humans.

Story
Meet Bubby, a 3-year-old male cat with a distinctive coat of white fur with black splotches that give him a charming, unique look. Weighing in at a solid 15 pounds, Bubby is a loving, affectionate cat whos guaranteed to bring energy, charm, and personality into any home. Whether you're an adult or have children in the family, Bubby is wonderful with everyone and loves being part of the daily hustle and bustle. He was found abandoned near a hotel and now is looking for his fur-ever home.While he may take a little time to warm up to dogs, Bubbys patient nature shines throughespecially with calm and gentle senior dogs like his 12-year-old canine companion. After a week or so, hes comfortable sharing space and adapting to his new home.Bubby is a fan of attention, but he knows when it's time for a break. He enjoys being held and petted but prefers short cuddle sessions before continuing his playful adventures. Hes not picky about where he hangs out, content to relax in any room of the house, as long as he has a comfy spot to curl up. Evenings are his favorite time to play, and hes especially enthusiastic when his toys are involved. Please visit our website www.awlmc.org to learn more about this amazing cat and to see other available cats.

Story
This is Benji, and he needs your help This baby was left behind by a family that did not want to care for him. When he first arrived, he was scared, traumatized and confused. Benji has been in our care for about two month, and we have taken the time to help him get out of his shell. He is still very scared of humans, often threatened by touch or movement. We are hoping someone with experience, love, tenderness and patience can take him and help him. We have come to love Benji, and you will see that underneath his rough surface is a boy who desires love and affection. We have a cat and he seems very curious about him, so we think he might do well with other cats with proper introduction. Children and loud noises scare him. But with proper introduction we know he will blossom in any home. Benji is waiting for you, and he can’t wait to meet you ❤️

Story
Goldaline or Goldie or Goldie boi or Fat Boi etc. is a very sweet two year old, cow-colored feline. He is not gold, and despite his unfortunate mustache, is a lover of all humans who provide food and pets. He was wandering around our apartment complex for a very long time. We lured him into our apartment to see if he was chipped or belonged to anyone. No chip, and no owner was found. He was clearly well-loved by someone at some point, as he loves to cuddle and just be near people. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and in perfect health. We absolutely adore him, but ss much as we wish we could be his forever home, my cat Cecilia comes first. As they were just starting to show signs of relaxation around each other, she saw him playfully swipe at me and thought he was on the attack. This caused her to launch herself at him with intent to end his life. Ever since then, she has wanted him off this planet. Please consider adopting this wonderful giant beast.
