Story
This gorgeous gentleman is Figaro. He is a very special kitty. He is calm and sweet, gets along with dogs and other cats, LIKES TO GO FOR WALKS wearing his harness, even likes car rides! And when he's not out and about, he likes to watch Disney movies at home! His favorite is The Jungle Book - as soon as it starts playing, he comes over and watches it. It's super cute. He's a wonderful boy who is looking for his forever home. If you would like to make Figaro part of your family, please inquire about him. He has been neutered, and just needs his vaccines and a microchip. Thank you for choosing adoption!

Story
This adorable, fluffy boy is Dragon. He is a very sweet, shy Russian Blue kitty who needs a family to love him and make him feel safe. He's okay around dogs but is afraid of other cats. Who knows what he experienced before he was rescued. He's very skittish right now and frightened of loud noises, but loves affection and is super lovable. So, a quiet home with a couple, or a single person, or a family with older, calm kids like teens would be best. He's very smart - has learned how to open cabinet doors :) He loves toys, he likes to talk back to you when you speak to him, he also likes to sit and chill in the shower! He's only 10 months old and so cute. He's been sterilized and just needs his vaccines and a microchip. If you are interested in sweet Dragon, please inquire here about him. Thank you for choosing adoption.

Story
Ty showed up at my house last Summer. My neighbor and I fed him and got him neutered. He never left. We have given him 8 months in the house but he wants to be dominant and my other cat hates him for it. When I was in the hospital, my primary cat started shopping for new homes. I can not risk losing her. Ty is extremely loving, smart and loves to be held. He is also very communicative. I can picture him with an 8 year old playing dress up. He is indoor/outdoor, a great hunter, and will meow till he gets what he wants. I will miss him dearly but can not put any more stress on my other cat.

Story
Salem is a good cat. He's about 31/2 years old. He's an indoor cat, very quiet and keeps to himself. Salem loves looking out an open window at the birds. Salem is playful at times. He sleeps through the night, for the most part, no worry about night zoomies. Not much of a lap cat. He will lay on the bed/couch, but not too close to you. Bathing hasn't really been an issue, as long as you get in and get out. He will sit, 5 - 10 minutes max. He hates towel or anything covering him. I guess some kind of tramatic thing before we got him from the shelter. I dry him as quickly as much as I can after bathing, then let him air dry on his own. I try bathing when the weather is warmest. Salem doesn't like to be held, older kids ages 12+ would be ideal for him, as younger children are tempted to pick up a cat, and he will scratch and/or bite when he don't want to be bother.
