Story
Miss B is a long legged, big feet, larger cat. 12lbs of love with a fluffy tummy and a laid-back personality. If you are looking for a friend to sit and watch tv with you, or protect you whilst you sleep, this is your girl. She is very shy when she meets new people and is a star magician at hiding when the cat carrier comes out for a vet visit. But once she feels safe with you, she relaxes.She will let you know when it’s time for food, she needs attention, a bird is in the garden and has a full vocal range from silent up to shouting with purring as the in-between, she will happily sit and have a conversation with you. This girl wants company, if I’m not available then she will snuggle up to another cat, regardless of if they want to or not. She is coming from a multi cat household, and she is fully aware that sometimes you just must be patient to have your turn for attention. She loves to lie next to your legs and stretch out, she needs longer spaces to be able to relax fully, although she will try to squeeze into a regular sized cat bed. Loves to play, balls are great to chase, hair scrunchies are prized possessions but when you want to tire her out go for the feather wand – never fails!She eats wet and dry food – too much sometimes & loves treats. She is litter box trained, using both open and closed boxes.All cats/kittens are spay/neutered, fully vaccinated, treated for any parasites, tested for Feline Leukemia and FiV and receive a microchip with a lifetime of free registration.

Story
Fanta was found alone and in very poor condition at a parking lot. Since the beginning though, he was very cuddly and always loved head scratches and people!! He loves attention but since he was an older cat he is not hyper. Fanta’s age is unknown but he is a little old man :) Fanta loves sleeping, cuddling and belly rubs!! He is house trained and well behaved :)!!

Story
He was probably dropped off in the neighborhood a few months ago. He is super sweet and affectionate. We easily took him in to get his shots and neutered, no issues taking him to the vet or handling him. We tried to introduce him to our house but our male cat will not allow him to be in the same space. We really want to find him a home. He would make a great cat for someone looking for a sweet companion.

Story
SHY BEAUTY  DOB 6/1/23 Meet Snowball, the gentle introvert with a heart as pure as freshly fallen snow. With her soft, snowy fur and blue-grey eyes, Snowball embodies the essence of quiet elegance. This introspective feline finds solace in serene spaces, where she can observe the world from a safe distance. While she may prefer the company of a select few, those fortunate enough to earn her trust are rewarded with the deepest wells of affection and loyalty. Whether she's curled up in a cozy corner or perched atop her favorite vantage point, Snowball's serene presence brings a sense of calm to any environment. With her gentle spirit and quiet wisdom, Snowball reminds us that true beauty lies in the depths of the soul and waits to be discovered by those who take the time to truly see. Snowball would like to be adopted with her brother, Guero. HOPE ID 24-0131-G024 If you are interested in Snowball and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php . Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt, but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started.  If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site this feline will be this week-end, email us at hope@homelesspets.net , and a volunteer will get back to you.
