Meet Cupcake! 🧁💕🐾Sweet Cupcake is a lovely 12-year-old girl who is hoping to find a family to call her own.Cupcake can be a little shy when she first meets someone new.

She would do best with a family who understands that the sweetest bonds sometimes take a little time to grow.There is something truly special about earning the trust of a shy cat, and Cupcake is waiting for someone who will give her that chance. 🥰If you have a soft spot for the quiet ones and a heart full of love, Cupcake may be the sweet girl you've been looking for.

Story
Meet Peanut! 💙Peanut is a lovely Russian Blue girl, around 3 years old, who has a personality all her own! This independent lady enjoys having her people around, but she also appreciates having her own space. She's the perfect companion for someone who enjoys spending time together without needing to be joined at the hip. Whether you're relaxing on the couch while she lounges nearby or taking a break for some interactive playtime, Peanut is happy to share your company in her own way.Peanut has lived with other cats and can enjoy playing with feline friends, so she may do well with a compatible kitty companion. Dogs, however, aren't her cup of tea, and she would prefer a dog-free home where she can feel comfortable and relaxed.If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and independent companion who will happily keep you company while still doing her own thing, Peanut could be the girl for you! Come meet her and see if you're a perfect match. 🐾The NHSPCA Adoption Center is open Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Thursday from 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM (closed Wednesdays).

Story
Meet Tiny! Don’t let his name fool you, this 1.5-year-old orange boy has a BIG personality and absolutely no problem letting you know when he wants attention! Tiny will loudly meow to demand pets, but the second you give in, he transforms into a purring machine. And once he’s claimed your lap? Good luck getting anything else done! This handsome guy is the ultimate lap cat and is always happy to accept a Churu or two. Tiny came to us injured, but he’s now on the road to recovery! He’s hoping to find a loving home where he can finish healing in comfort, surrounded by soft blankets, tasty treats, and all the affection his heart desires. This sweet boy has so much love to give, and we’d love nothing more than to see him recover in a home of his own.Cats can live 15-20 years or more, so adopting Tiny means making a lifelong commitment to loving and caring for your new best friend.Ready to welcome this purring lap cat into your life?

  Rio - Male DOB 6/20/2021 Domestic Short Hair Black & White- "His name is Rio and he dances on the sand" Rio is an absolutely adorable guy with a face that will keep you giggling. He is super friendly and loves attention from his people. He is an excellent conversationalist, giving you all the latest news through his quirky meow. His two favorite things are catnip and the red dot. If you want to see this big, silly cat get even sillier, give him a banana catnip toy or some loose catnip and watch him roll around. Bring out a laser toy, and watch Rio turn into a kitten again as he tries to catch his archrival, the red dot. Rio would be an excellent addition to any household. Rio would do best with another friendly cat to keep him company. Rio is fine with children. To our knowledge he has no experience with dogs. Get your application in for Rio today!
