Story
Wesley has a mild temperament free of extreme personality traits. He is not overly affectionate nor terribly skittish. Wesley exudes an air of intelligent laid-back mystique. He gets a kick out of playing in cardboard boxes and gets a charge out of chasing leaves. Wesley rolls over to be petted, does not mind being picked up and held as long as you have the muscles to hold this big boy! He tolerates combing and nail trims pretty well! Wesley gets vocal when in a pet carrier. He is reserved and bashful in a new environment. Wesley gets anxious when taken away from his comfort zone. Wesley's ideal home is with an individual, couple or family. He should do okay as an inside/outside kitty. Wesley is a 7-year-old American Shorthair with a black coat. He is large, weighing in at 14 pounds! To submit Wesley's adoption application, copy and paste the link: Adoption Application for Feral Feline Coalition

Story
This poor little lost girl showed up in our backyard and we started feeding her. We thought she was pregnant, so we brought her inside to have her kittens. Turns out she wasn't pregnant, so we had her spayed and took care of all of her shots. We have several other indoor cats and an introduction to the rest of the household did not go well. She's really sweet and would make a great pet in a single cat home.

Story
Espinoza – The Playful Partner in Crime ?? Named after the determined and big-hearted Detective Dan Espinoza from the TV series Lucifer, this sleek, short-haired charmer wears a handsome coat of black blended with the richest, darkest brown—like dark roast coffee kissed by midnight. Espinoza is a ball of energy and curiosity, turning absolutely anything into a toy. A stray pen cap? A crinkled receipt? He’s on the case. Playtime is his specialty, and he’s always ready to invent a new game or chase down an imaginary suspect. While his playful streak runs strong, Espinoza also has a soft spot for attention. He’ll politely (and sometimes not-so-politely) remind you that he’s due for pets. If your lap is taken by one of his three littermates, he’s perfectly happy to curl up on a blanket at your feet—close enough to keep you company while still keeping an eye on the action. He enjoys being brushed, gets along well with the two adult cats in his foster home, and is wonderful with two kids under 11—making him a confident, adaptable companion. Adopt Espinoza, and you’ll have a spirited sidekick, a master of play, and a devoted companion rolled into one purrfect package. If interested in meeting Espinoza, please submit an application here: https://fjcasp.wufoo.com/forms/adoption-application/

Story
Lucifer – The Dark Prince of Cuddles Don’t let the name fool you—Lucifer isn’t here to tempt you into mischief (well… maybe a little). This handsome, solid-black gentleman has the softest fur you’ll ever touch—like holding a cloud wrapped in midnight. Lucifer is an energetic, playful guy who has a special weakness for small crinkle toys—especially when he can play a good game of fetch. He’s smart, interactive, and loves to show off his retrieval skills. When playtime is over, Lucifer is all about the snuggles. Pick him up and he melts into your arms, going completely liquid as he soaks up every bit of your attention. He enjoys being brushed, adores his three littermates, and gets along wonderfully with the two adult cats in his foster home—as well as two kids under 11—making him a great fit for many types of families. Adopt Lucifer, and you’ll discover that true love is as soft as velvet… and sometimes comes dressed in black.

Story
Meet Filet Mignon — a little slice of sweetness with a name just as precious as she is! This doll of a kitty may start off a bit shy, but it doesn’t take her long to bloom. Give her a moment, a soft voice, and a little patience, and soon she’s warming up to you like she’s known you her whole life. And once she feels safe? That’s when her full charm shines. Filet Mignon is a lap-loving sweetheart who absolutely adores curling up in the recliner with her foster dad. That’s her happy place — a warm lap, a cozy chair, and all the snuggles she can get. She bonds deeply with her people and thrives on that cozy connection. She also has a fun, playful streak! Her favorite toys are her fluffy little fur-ball cat toys, which she bats, chases, and proudly carries around like prized possessions. She may be gentle, but she’s always ready for a bit of fun. And of course… food. Filet Mignon LOVES to eat, and she goes absolutely wild for Temptations cat treats. Shake the bag, and she appears instantly — bright-eyed, excited, and ready for her crunchy snack. She’s never been around kids, but based on her loving, soft, and easygoing personality, we think she’d do great with respectful little human companions. As for other animals? Filet Mignon is a social girl! She gets along wonderfully with the resident cat, and she’s also good with the resident dogs — she just needs a little time to adjust to them at first. Once she realizes they’re safe, she settles in beautifully. With her tender heart, snuggly nature, playful spirit, treat-loving enthusiasm, and friendly attitude toward other pets, Filet Mignon is the perfect mix of cozy companion and fun-loving friend. She’s ready to bring warmth, sweetness, and joy to the lucky family who welcomes her home.
