Story
Dottie is super loving little girl. She loves to be carried around and treated like a princess. She will stand on your shoulders and snuggle your head while you walk at times too ❤️ she is a stray I found a long with her brother Van Gogh. They are a bonded pair. Dottie has been spayed through the shelter and had her first rabies vaccine. She was dewormed at the shelter. She is an inside/outside kitty. Her and her brother need a loving home that can provide the love and attention they deserve.

Story
Scarlett is just a beautiful young lady. She's the picture perfect tabby cat with such a princess face. She loves attention. And to be the center of it. She will not shy away from grabbing your hand back to continue with pets 🥰 she says when you're done pampering her. She was born a stray kitten last spring outside my house. She uses my spare bedroom for warmth and comfort at night but loves her time outside on a beautiful day. I have 3 cats myself and just can't provide the living home and attention she deserves. Scar baby would make someone the perfect companion to someone needing a loving princess in their life.

Story
This is Jimmy boy everyone ❤️ he was part of a litter of 5 born in my neighbors backyard. He is bonded with his brother Butters (orange tabby also listed). The two boys spend their days in my yard now either sunbathing, bird watching, or wrestling and chasing one another. They truly do live their best life together. I unfortunately have to move after the summer. I have 3 indoor cats myself and cannot take these sweet brothers with me. I don't want to abandon these sweet boys. Jimmy is a little timid but just the sweetest guy once her trusts you. He doesn't like to be picked up. He just gets tense about it. So we respect his wishes and just give him constant chin rubs and back scratches. He has the most gentle nature about him. Just a sweetheart. Jimmy has to be adopted with his brother Butters. They are bonded at this point in their lives (approx 1 year old now). Both Jimmy and Butters are indoor/outdoor kitties.

Story
Handsome is a very particular cat, he makes it well known you must earn his trust first...but once you do this big boy makes the reward well worth the effort. He will be the first one in bed at night and his choosen place is in a leg curve or propped up on one like it is an armed chair. He has the funniest voice to come out of such a large cat and will gladly demonstrate his agility skills when any stringed toy is presented. Handsome is very affectionate to his cat family but prefers to seek human affection on his own terms, making it very obvious by meowing or rolling back and forth in front of your feet. Handsome was relocated to a second foster home a few months ago and is getting along well with other foster cats in the home.  He has also been very loving to the foster kittens in the home. ##1191272##

Story
Nala is a 3 year old black panther who is patiently awaiting a new home. She is a very affectionate girl who loves to chat and meow to her people. She loves to run around the house and play. She adores canned food. She also likes to have the attention on her so she would prefer a home as the only cat or with a submissive cat who will let her make the rules. Nala is currently in a room alone (her only other option is a room full of other cats) so she would LOVE to finally have a chance at a family who would treat her like the queen she is. She will bring you lots of love and attention in exchange for some scritches and canned food. She's been waiting a long time. She doesn't do well at fairs or in the cages at adoption centers so she needs a fair shake! She's a sensitive girl who needs someone to trust that she will be the loving lap cat cat she is meant to be after a little time for adjustment. Apply online www.triadcat.org! ##1191274##

Story
I previously came from a feral colony. My ear was clipped when I was spayed and released back. I eventually made my way to a kind lady that would feed me.  I am very sweet and when I want attention I will sit and stare patiently until you hold out your hand. I enjoy flopping myself on the floor when you rub me and flipping side to side. I literally get along with all cats because I am very secure with myself and unphased.  ##1370779##
