Story
Meet Electrical Tape! Electrical Tape is part of a large group of cats called ‘the electricians.’ The electricians came from a tough living situation and have been waiting patiently for their chance to find furever homes. They can be very shy and reserved with new people but are very sweet cats once they trust you. They will need patience and understanding while they adjust to their furever homes. Due to their past, the electricians MUST be adopted to homes as pairs OR to a home with another outgoing feline friend. The electricians must remain on a probiotic for life and rely heavily on wet food. Staff is more than happy to talk with potential adopters about their medical needs as well as go into more detail about their past during a meet and greet. Electrical Tape is a shy, reserved guy. He enjoys pets from those he trusts and always loves snacks. He does not like to be cornered and forced into interactions. He needs to come to you on his own terms. While he may take time to come around, he is worth the wait!

She’s more likely to adjust well to feline companions who are similarly shy and respectful of her space.Health & Medical:Pachirisu has had urinary issues in the past, including urinary tract infections.

Story
About Maggie:Meet Maggie! She is a sweet and outgoing Domestic Shorthair kitten with a stunning brown tabby and tortoiseshell mixed coat. Maggie came to us at a very young age in terrible condition, and without immediate intervention, she may not have survived much longer. Fortunately, she was placed into foster care with one of our staff members, where she received critical care and was nursed back to health. Now, Maggie is ready to find her forever home! She loves to run around playing with her toys, and her favorites are wand toys and her purple rabbit toy.

While she was initially nervous around other cats, she has settled in and enjoys their company, though she can be a little high-energy at times. She would likely be happiest as the only cat in the home, but with a proper introduction, she could do well with other cats.Health & Medical:Maggie has had a history of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the past. As a result, she must remain on a high-moisture, urinary-friendly wet food diet to help prevent further issues. Additional information about her dietary needs can be provided.
