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.

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
We got Hazel in 2020 and brought her home from a kitten hoarding situation. She joined us lived harmoniously with everyone (2 adults, 3 kids, and a cat) until 8 months ago when we had to welcome another kitten when we saved it off of the interstate. This new kitten and Hazel never got along but our house is big enough we mostly keep them separated into their own spaces and that has worked up until, due to some extended family having to come in and out on a regular basis, Hazel started to become stressed so we took her to the vet who prescribed her anxiety meds but she does not take the medicine without some serious "tortitude" and we know she would be happier in a home without little kids and a kitten. She is extremely sweet once you are "her person". She would prefer a home with a calmer environment. Comes with a large crate, beds, toys, etc so she can transition into a new home comfortably. She can be very loving and has a cute high pitched meow she likes to say hi with.

Story
Scout is a sweet and affectionate cat who has been a part of our family for almost 8 years. She loves people and loves to snuggle and be close to you. Unfortunately, with the birth of our first child we quickly learned that young children are a huge source of stress for her. With a second child on the way, we feel it best to find her a new home where she can be more happy and less stressed like she was prior to children in the home. She spends her days hidden under the bed and occasionally loses patches of fur on her ears from the stress. She is not aggressive towards children, but does not like how loud they are. Our other cat doesn’t love children either, but doesn’t spend all of her time in hiding. This has been a difficult decision because she is so loved, but that is why we think a new home is what is best for her. She deserves to have a stress free home that can provide the ongoing attention and affection she desires.

She got her name because as a baby she was a "Jumping Jellybean" and bounced all over the room, chasing her siblings and any toy she could find. She loves tall towers and sitting in an open (screened) window looking for birds. She is a purring machine, loves children and her littermates, and is a delight to be around. She would love to be adopted with her sister, Clover.Click here to watch a video of Jellybean.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 23, 2024, 4:08 pm

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##
