Story
Her name is Penelope, Penny for short, I took responsibility over her after a roommate moved away. She is about 9 years old, EXTREMELY FRIENDLY, house trained and keeps herself clean. She loves to cuddle, chill outside ( when she has her shots up to date). She’s not picky with food however she can only tolerate wet food (mostly pate). Her favorite activity is sitting by the window to watch birds, she can also be a bit chatty in the morning. She’s the ideal lap cat although she loves a little bit a play time as well. She is great around children and other cats as too.

Story
We got Stevie from the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter about a year ago. She is a fun loving cat who is sure to make you laugh. She loves to sit in her cat tree and watch birds and snuggle up at bedtime. She gets along with our small dog but does better when she has all of the attention. We have a PCS across the country and don’t think she will do well making the trip. If you want w cat with energy and personality Stevie is your gal. We will send her with her cat tree, automatic feeder and automatic litter box as well as her toys and food.

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
Persia is a lovely, sweet, romantic cat who is true to her name: she will purr for literally hours. She is so excited when I come home and is talkative as well. She loves to just lay next to me on my bed and bask in affection. The reason why I am rehoming Persia is that she does not get along with one of my other cats. She lived with a previous owner in a confined space with a different cat for a while, so it is necessary that if she is with another cat she is introduced slowly and has her own safe space.

Story
Claudine is a cheery and vocal cat, who loves to nuzzle with me. She particularly enjoys being picked up for a short time so that i can rub her head on my nose. When she is excited, she will squeak! It’s very cute! She is friendly towards other cats but can sometimes get spooked by them and swat them once or twice. Claudine would appreciate a loving owner who will give her attention and affection. She would love to follow her master around and accompany them in their daily life.
