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
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##

Story
Sammy Davis is a super affection and incredibly smart tuxedo kitty. He was born in his foster home (to his Russian Blue mom who had SEVEN tuxedo babies) and it was originally decided he may do best just staying in the "shy cat" room as he was super sensitive and didn't do well at fairs or when people visited. But as time has gone on, it's been established he would be much more adoptable than originally thought. In fact, he now ADORES attention. Carry him, let him lap sit for hours, let him love bite for even more attention. He's SUPER affectionate. So much so, now, that he may be a bit of a bully to other cats who also want human attention. It just took him a good while to figure it all out. He does do well with other cats as long as they are the absolute alpha OR absolutely ok with him being the alpha kitty. He's actually kind of a ninny. He will submit to alpha cats but will kind of bully submissive cats to compete for the attention he now desires. So he either needs to be alpha to all or complete beta to one (he will literally "bow down" his head to the alpha...it's actually kind of sweet...but he will "bully" the ones beneath him if he feels he has to compete for attention). A house with lots of dynamics may prove hard for all, as his foster home can attest to since there are so many in it. He does hide when visitors come but after a bit he will come out to see what the fuss is about. His foster mom adores him and doesn't want to let him go but now that he has blossomed she realizes it would be best for him to get a home where he could get more individual attention. He loves to play with toys/wands and he will go absolutely nuts for catnip (TikTokers this is the catnip cat for you!). You will not regret bringing this life into yours! ##1972974##

Story
Tabetha is a bit nervous and shy at first but responds to touch.  She likes her rump scratched and around her face.  She is very playful and loves being with her almost twin sister Bella.  Bella brings her out. She did not have a home and therefore requires some patience.  I would love to see her adopted with her sister . ##2181652##

Maggie is a very sweet girl who would be happiest as the only pet in the house. She is shy but friendly. She loves to look out the window and climb to high places. She is very graceful and even does a little dance on her back feet to get your attention. She doesn’t enjoy being in confined spaces or riding in the car. She would love to have a quiet home without the stress of other animals where she can really relax and be her sweet self.
