Story
We adopted Ezzy in 2018 while overseas. She has developed fur mowing and is missing a lot of hair on the legs/back. She does not interact with children well. Will hiss at children if they try and play with her. Vets have evaluated her and have determined it is behavioral issues. We are just not able to keep up with her needs at this time. She likes playing with strings, sitting in boxes, burrowing under blankets on the bed, some ft blankets and bird watching.

Story
Trish favors a cat window perch to watch the butterflies go by or the leaves blow in the wind or the rain fall. She is cautious around new people or new environment; give Trish a few days to become comfortable so she can socialize with her new family. She makes use of a scratching post to manicure her nails and finds entertainment and solitude in a cozy corrugated cottage hut. Trish's favorite time to play is nighttime! Her ideal home is one that is fairly calm with an individual, couple or family; Trish is accustomed to being around children and prefers calm kids over rambunctious ones! She has not been observed around other cats or a cat-friendly dog. Trish is a 2-year-old brown tiger tabby with white mittens, white blaze, white cheeks, white chin, a nose that is half pink and half black, and attractive hazel eyes.

Story
Miranda is calm, gentle and a quiet kitty. She spends her day in a favorite place. Miranda takes in the day by lounging around, she is inactive, somewhat of a “couch potato!” Miranda welcomes petting especially on top of the head. She is ideal for someone who is not home often as she does not require constant attention and has her limits of petting and holding. Miranda does not like to be over stimulated and will make you aware with a “meow.” She is independent and not needy. She is not a lap cat (that's the British in her!), but she does like to be near her human companion. Miranda’s ideal home is with an individual, couple or family with older children as she will not be playful with the younger kids. Miranda is accustomed to being around other cats but would be fine without cats. Miranda will do okay around a dog that does not overly interact with her. She is a 12-year-old blue American Shorthair/British Shorthair with a tiger tabby pattern. Miranda has a broad face, stocky body, thick coat and dainty paws.

Story
Mercy has established solace in her name as she has found compassion on two occasions -- 1) when a compassionate citizen picked her up from the highway after being hit by a vehicle and took Mercy for medical care, and 2) when a compassionate foster volunteer brought Mercy to a home environment upon the request of an animal clinic when her caretaker requested Mercy be euthanized because she has a compromised immune system. Mercy is shy and reserved; she will need to establish compassion and trust with her new human companion. Her relationship will be built upon assurance, certainty, confidence and patience along with time. Mercy is laid back, quiet and fond of petting. She is pleased by laying in cardboard boxes or adores a window seat. Mercy prefers to move around on 4-powered paws than being carried from place-to-place. Her safety zone is under a bed when she feels threatened. Mercy's ideal home is one with a calm environment where she will be the only indoor feline; a home where Mercy can explore freely at her own pace. She is a great companion cat for someone who doesn't need a velcro kitty! Mercy is 6 years old and has a tortoiseshell pattern with white. She has an immunodeficiency virus (FIV) that may lead to increased susceptibility to infections. Mercy currently does not have clinical signs of the virus.

Story
Addi is very adoring, easy going and gentle. She appreciates being with her human companion and loves to snuggle. Addi chases the dot from a laser light, explores new places and indulges in food. She is not hard to please at mealtime as Addi is a fanatic of all food, but her favorites are lickable cat treats and freeze-dried raw chicken. Addi will be the perfect fit to any home -- individual, couple or family; she has been witnessed being nothing but a sweetheart around a 10-year-old! Addi should do okay with other cats and dogs; and doesn't seem to mind loud and hyper dogs. She is a 2-year-old brown spotted tabby with a powerful and sturdy appearance and alluring green eyes.

Story
Goldie is affectionate, friendly and outgoing. She is sociable, enjoys human company and is not shy around new people. Goldie plays with various cat toys and is especially fond of running through a cat tunnel, at times she just relaxes inside the tunnel! Goldie is a people kitty and will seek out your lap. She is a connoisseur of food, no free feeding for this chunky girl! Goldie can be a door darter so you may need to shoo her away from an open door to the outside world. She will go belly up on a big comfy chair and kneads on soft blankets. Goldie's ideal home is with an individual, couple or family with older children. It is best that Goldie be in a home as the only pet. She is four years old with a flaming red coat but with a glowing personality! Goldie has soft green eyes and distinctive nose freckles that increase her charm. She came to Friends of Jackson County declawed on the front paws so Goldie must be an inside cat only. Our rescue disapproves of declawing as the claws are a vital part of every cat. She is FIV & FeLV negative.
