Story
Spayed FemaleA436564 More about Saphira: I enjoy laying next to my person on the couch, and I enjoy playing. In fact, it will be important for my adopter to provide lots of playtime and enrichment for me. I have good litter box manners!I will need a slow introduction to my new home, starting in one quiet room with managed hiding places, and gradually be given access to more of the home as I settle in. I should be left alone except for feeding and cleaning at the beginning, and let me solicit interactions as I become comfortable. A fear free vet is recommended: I am sensitive for close handling and I do not like to be picked up or held. My adopter should be cat-savvy and comfortable with reading cat-body language.Petting consent tests should be used to prevent unwanted behavior. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. Compatibility:Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: No

Story
Spayed FemaleAge: 8 YearsGrayDomestic Short HairA351811 More about Nalah: I am a playful, chatty, affectionate, and sweet lady who loves to sunbathe and look out windows. I can be sensitive to loud noises, and will do best ion a quiet, low-traffic home. I will need a slow transition into my new home starting in a small, quiet space and gradually be given access to more of the home as I settle in and become comfortable in my new surroundings. My adopter should have a relationship with a fear-free vet, since I have a low tolerance for handling/vet restraint, and a sedative may be needed for my vet visits. The shelter is open Tuesday through Thursday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. Compatibility:Cats: No thanksDogs: No thanksKids: Possibly, able to read cat-body language

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Neutered MaleAge: 5 YearsBrown TabbyDomestic Short HairA441763 More about Freddie: In my previous home I was described as sweet and loving, and very fond of food ... this sounds like a great training opportunity! I am a goofy boy who likes to sleep with the shoes of my people, and I enjoy a good chin scratch while snoozing. I am a shy boy who does not do well with change. I need an adopter who will let me move at my own pace and go slow. I will need a quiet room to settle in while I am adjusting. My adopter should be prepared to leave me alone for several days, except for feeding and cleaning, before trying to interact with me. It is a requirement that this room is not used otherwise while I de-stress. I need an adopter who is committed to giving me time and not pushing interactions. My adopter should understand cat behavior, and be able to read cat-body language. I can be moody, and I can get overstimulated with a lot of touch. I need an adopter who understands cat-body language and can give me space if I need it. I do not enjoy forced handling, and I may need a fear-free vet going forward. I need a home that is not only quiet but enriching! I am a great cat for a young couple that is looking to keep things fun in the home for their cat, while also making sure he is comfortable. I would love a home that allows plenty of time to play, as well as some cuddle time. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. Compatibility:Dogs: No thank you.Cats: No thank you, previously lived with a cat and did not enjoy it.Kids: Maybe: clear boundaries should be set prior to them interacting with Freddie, as well as the meets should be supervised.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Spayed FemaleAge: 3 YearsGrayDomestic Short HairA442434 More about Astrid: I am with Lilly, and we are known here as The Twins, although it is believed that we are mother and daughter. We LOVE each other very much, are always found playing or cuddling together, and we want to spend our lives together as a bonded pair. We are both playful and silly! We will need a slow introduction to our new home, litter box, and any existing pets while we settle in and become comfortable in our new surroundings. Due to the history of asthma for Lilly, we should not be exposed to a home where there is smoking, strong chemicals, or any irritants she could breathe in that could trigger an asthma flare-up. She is no longer symptomatic for asthma here at the shelter. Medical records will be available to potential adopters. I have a history of conjunctivitis, and Lilly has had eyelid surgery as well as a hernia. Our adopter should have a good relationship with a primary care vet, and establish care post-adoption should we require follow-up for any of these conditions. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. Compatibility:Cats: Possibly - no history with other catsDogs: Possibly - saw a dog in the shelter and were curious, but became swatty when the dog became too much. A cat-savvy, mellow dog would be recommended.Kids: Yes

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Spayed FemaleAge: 12 YearsWhite and GrayDomestic Short Hair329699 More about Sky: I can be affectionate once I warm up: I was a fabulous lap cat with my previous owner, who can no longer care for me. I love to play! Do not let my age fool you, I can still get the zoomies and I enjoy wand toys. I have good litter box manners. I am looking for a VERY quiet, low-traffic home with cat-savvy adopters with lots of patience! I was extremely affectionate with my previous owner and would lay on her lap for hours, but I have always been nervous with other people. I am not a very social cat, and it will take a long time to build a relationship with my new family. Given the time and option to do so at my own pace, I will make someone a great low-maintenance companion! It is recommended that my adopter work with a fear-free vet to help come up with a handling plan that will reduce stress for everyone, and keep everyone safe, since I required sedation for vet care here in the shelter. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. Compatibility:Cats: Potentially, but no history. Would do best with a cat who has successfully lived with other cats, with a VERY slow introduction.Kids: Teens and older. I am not going to be amenable to kids who push interaction with me when I am communicating that I am uncomfortable.

Neutered MaleAge: 7 YearsA442931 More about Pelu: I am a loving and sassy guy, and I have good history living with two dogs in my previous home. I do not like to be pet for a long time, and I may use my nails during play, so lots of enrichment should be available in my new home, and my peeps should know how to read cat-body language and step back before I reach my touch limit! The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
