Story
Thalia is about 5 years old orange female. We’ve had her for about 4.5 years. She’s a super sweet lap cat. She’s such a good girl and hates loud noises and scary places(like on the counter/bookshelves) so she never gets into trouble. My sweet girl will come with all of her food and bowls and litter things as well.

Story
Coco needs a new home. I have three cats and Coco has been here for over 4 months. However, my other cat has a medical condition that requires lifetime treatment, so I am having trouble caring for three cats now. Coco is a 15 month old male neutered cat with all his vaccinations. He was very shy for about 1months but now loves people and loves to play. He is very energetic. I think he would be happier in a place where there are no other pets as he does not seem to get along with most cats he is encountered. I hope he finds a good home.

Nala is a very affectionate and loving cat. He loves to play and will dart to anyone holding a treat. He sleeps most of the day but will play/lay with you all evening or night. He is very good with meeting new people as he isn't picky with caretakers. He absolutely hates belly rubs and will bite gently to show affection or ask for it.

Story
Meet Amanda! She came to us in July 2022 with her sister Katlyn after being born under a porch (mom is feral and has been fixed then returned to her neighborhood). Amanda is now an 11-month-old kitten looking for a loving family. She loves climbing on her cat tower, cuddling on her terms, and chasing the laser light. She is being fostered with other cats and dogs too. Amanda has a calm demeanor, she is always watching the shenanigans around her. She is litterbox trained, spayed, dewormed, flea and parasite-free, and FIV/FeLV negative. She will make a great addition to most families! If you are interested in adoption; DO NOT CALL, please complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We verify the care of past/current pets. Our goal is to have the very best home for all our dogs and cats, and therefore, we reserve the right to approve or deny an application based on what we determine is in the pet's best interest. #lovecatsforever #kittens #kitty  #rescuedisthebest #cats #catsareacommittment #rescuecat #lovecats #adopt #adoptdontshop

Story
Boots is a stray cat which comes inside the house to eat and when temperatures are low. She’s around 10 years of age and is spayed. She’s such an affectionate and sweet cat. I want the best for her, with that being said I hope to find her stress-free home. I have two other indoors cats which they do not get along no matter how much I try. Boots deserves an owner who will give her their undivided attention, and deserves to have her safe space where she doesn’t have to worry about any other cat/ animals.

Story
One day my ex husband told me that he had found a kitten for our daughter. Since we already had a cat in the states I actually opposed this. The couple showed up with a full grown cat that had nowhere to ho and they were leaving Japan within days. I reluctantly took Saki in. When my ex and I divorced I asked him to take his cat as we found out our daughter was allergic and it was his responsibility but he left me carrying the bag. My daughter and I love Saki very much, but she has already had one surgery to remove her adenoids and still cant breathe. The ENT said he has to go. Saki is very affectionate and loving. Though he is older, he has tons of energy and leaps from the armoir to the couch, and other lengthy jumps. He likes to be picked up and carried. Loves to sleep next to people, and loves to recieve love. Hes not what I would call a typical cat. Hes a baby and a real companion.
