Story
2-year-old One-Way is an adorable tuxedo cat who is the perfect mix of silly, sweet, and sassy. One-Way joined Ten Lives after a Good Samaritan found her hiding in a bush next to a highway onramp and brought her to Providence Animal Control. When we found out that she had been in the shelter since November, we knew we had to get her into our foster program. One-Way has adjusted well to foster life and loves wand toys, catnip, and lounging on her foster parents' bed. Her silly side really shines when she's chasing her rainbow wand while running in and out of her tunnel. When she is not playing, One-Way enjoys rolling around in catnip or licking a tasty tube treat. One-Way would like to find a home where she can be the only cat. If you think One-Way might be a good match, please submit our adoption application! ___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
Ideal Home: Cool, Calm and CollectedQualities: Mellow, Independent, AffectionateWe are delighted to introduce Perry, a charming 9 year old gentleman who is looking for his forever home to spend his golden years. His favorite things include treat testing, condo climbing, and bird watching!Perry is a very polite panther with people and has been showing off his affectionate side. He has been adjusting quite nicely since arriving at Ten Lives and has picked his foster dad as favorite person while he awaits his forever people to find him- he can often be found curled up on his chest making biscuits!Perry is a firm "no thank you" on dogs but doesn't mind the company of other friendly felines with the proper introduction. At 9 years old, Perry may need some time to settle into his new surroundings as all of this is very new to him. Before you know it, he will be comfy and showing off his true colors. He was previously an indoor/outdoor kitty and we think he would adore a catio or screened in porch to appeal to his inner panther, but a big window to bird watch from is equally pawsome in Perry's book! He is FIV+, but he is a happy, healthy, and ready to relax and play for all his ten lives. If you think you could be Perry's match, he hopes you will fill out an application today!Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a cat-specific virus that cannot be passed onto dogs or humans. FIV is spread through deep bite wounds, typically seen on outdoor male cats who have not been neutered. It's rarely spread through grooming, sharing bowls, or litter boxes. FIV affects a cat's immune system, but most cats live long lives when they live indoors, receive routine veterinary care, have a stress-free home, and a good diet. To learn more about FIV, please visit the link below. https://www.alleycat.org/resources/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv/______________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

She is looking for a home that can give her the space to show her true self, particularly with lots of snacks and warm places to snooze into. She is currently on a special diet that keeps her healthy and happy. She is a one of a kind girl looking for a one of a kind home, and is officially accepting adoption applications!___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
Ideal Home: Quiet, patient and loving as she learns more about the pampered indoor life!Qualities: Gentle, Shy, Mellow. Graysie is a sophisticated 7.5 old gentle girl who has been appreciating the pampered indoor life since she arrived at Ten Lives. You see, Graysie's story is one that we commonly see; she spent her whole life outside and never knew the love and affectionate of being a beloved house cat. She has shown positive progress around her comfort human and has recently been allowing pets and brushing during her feedings. Her hobbies include bird watching and lounging in the sun beams to catch a good snooze. Graysie is gentle in nature and will need a patient adopter who can work with her slowly over time.  She gets along with other laid back and relaxed felines, and we think another easy going cat friend would help her flourish and also keep her company, but its not a deal breaker if she's a solo kitty either. If you think you could be Graysie's forever person, she hopes you will fill out an application for her today!___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!
