Story
Pebbles is a sweet 10 year old tuxedo who I have had for all her life. She is the sweetest girl, can be very shy at first, but warms up eventually. She doesn’t like a ton of excitement and likes a place to hide when there is too much going on, but loves to come over for some snuggles and pets when things are calm and she feels safe. She is so gentle, would do best in a home with no other cats or other cats of similar temperament, or an older calm dog, and mid to older children (gets a little overwhelmed with too many little little children). Unfortunately, we are having to rehome her immediately as my 2 year old daughter has been having severe reactions and we just found out she is highly allergic to cats. We’ve held out for a few months, but now I’m needing more urgent adoption with her recent flare ups. Just want her to go to a good home!

Story
Orange is a sweet stray who is ready to leave the streets behind and find a loving home. (Found on Orange Street in Wilmington, Delaware now living in San Antonio, Texas.) Highly affectionate vocal and craving attention Orange would make the perfect companion for any single cat household. He’s an older cat, probably older than seven years old and is FIV positive. Orange is very special and is looking for his long-term forever home - if you’re capable of meeting his needs, you will see how lucky you to have him.

Story
Angel is a very sweet cat who loves to cuddle. She can be very shy at times but that's just her personality. She's very independent as well but she will look for you randomly at times to sleep near you. She's been around children and is good around them. If they're too hyper she'll just hide. She's very gentle and plays softly and loves to look out the window and sleep by it as well.

Story
Salem is an incredibly social, sweet, cuddly, and playful kitten. She is a tortoise shell kitty girl, and she also happens to be uniquely polydactyl (extra toesies on her front paws)! She is 3 months old and was adopted from the Animal Defense League Shelter 2 weeks ago today. This decision to rehome was not made lightly. Unfortunately, our family (with the exception of me, the adopted) has severe allergies to sweet Salem. My best hopes for Salem is that she goes to a loving home where she is snuggled without worry or care. Someone who will want a lap cat and have ample time to socialize with her. If you should choose to take in sweet Salem, please know that I will provide all supplies I have purchased for her over the past two weeks. I also have paperwork that guarantees 30 days of per insurance for her :)

Story
Nebula is a sweet girl that would do best as an only cat initially and may warm up to other pets over time. We have a small dog that she does okay with. We are choosing to re-home her because she has been getting bullied by our other cats and deserves a peaceful life. She has a warm and endearing personality and loves to snuggle when she is comfortable and secure. Her adoption fee includes: wet food, dry food, toys, cat bed & blanket.

Story
Derpy isn’t always the smartest boy and he embodies the ginger cat stereotype but what he lacks in brainpower, he makes up for in heart. He’s very vocal and he talks ALOT. When he isn’t busy talking your ear off he loves cuddles and sitting in laps. He’s very affectionate and will always want to be by your side but of course he has his hyper playful side too. His only known bad habit is that he’s a certified dumpster diver, if you don’t have a covered trashcan then be warned he loves going diving for anything leftover after food. We keep the trash covered now in his foster home and are hoping he will forget it exists. He’s a great little kitty and he grew up in a home with small kids and cats so he should be able to adapt to most households. Derpy is Neutered and up to date on vaccines. Feel free to email us with any questions or fill out an application and we will reach out to set up a time to come meet this silly guy.

Story
Ewok — Smart, Snuggly, and Ready for an Experienced Cat HomeAt around 8–12 weeks old, Ewok is a striking black kitten with a gentle sparkle in his eyes and a surprisingly expressive vocabulary.He is known for his soft chirps, trills, and “conversation meows,” especially when he’s ready for a cuddle session or wants to super-vise your typing. His energy level shifts with the day—morning exploration, mid-afternoon naps, and evening biscuit-making mara-thons wrapped in a cozy blanket burrow. He’s clever, observant, and already showing signs of problem-solving skills (yes, he haslearned how to find the warmest sunbeam on the first try).Ewok thrives in a home that understands kitten body language and enjoys building trust through routine. he does well with friendlycats, adjusts nicely to calm dogs, and enjoys respectful kids who give his space during his quiet moments. he is crate trained (softcrate), travels well for his age, and is showing promise as a laptop assistant who enjoys snoozing beside you during work. With timeand consistency, his affectionate side shines—he will melt quietly into your arms with a fast-start purr that feels like gratitude inmotion.Ewok Highlights• Coal black shorthair with bright curiosity•• Talkative: chirps, trills, and soft commentary•• Snuggly once settled; enjoys gentle handling•• Cat-friendly; thrives with resident cat mentor•• Apartment-friendly & travel-adaptable•• Loves blanket burrows + sunbeam lounging•Best-Fit HomeAn experienced cat home that appreciates a smart, independent kitten who blossoms with structure, enrichment, and patientbonding.Care NotesLitter box pro; eating wet and dry food; uses scratching posts; brushing and carrier training underway; microchipped.Ready to Meet Ewok?If you’re looking for a bright, talkative companion with a soft heart, Ewok is ready to warm up your home—and your lap.To inquire about adopting this cat please complete an adoption application at tinyurl.com/ccapadoptions
