Story
This cat`s adoption fee has been generously sponsored!Dimitra may not be the first to greet you at the door, but she’s a soul worth waiting for.This quiet Torbie had a rough start to life, and the shelter can still feel like a big, overwhelming place. She spends much of her time tucked into a safe spot, observing with thoughtful, cautious eyes. But slowly - and beautifully - she’s starting to let her guard down.Recently, Dimitra discovered the joy of the noodle toy, revealing a spark of playfulness that tells us there’s so much more to this gentle girl than meets the eye. It’s a quiet reminder that even the shyest hearts are capable of joy when given time, space, and kindness.She isn’t looking for loud affection or constant attention - just a patient, understanding human who believes in building trust one small moment at a time. Her first slow blink, her tentative approach, the calm of sharing quiet space - these are the milestones that will mean everything.If you have a peaceful home and a heart open to quiet transformation, Dimitra may be the perfect match. Could you be the one to help her discover that the world can be soft, safe, and full of love?

Story
I have been fostering this wonderful 5-year-old cat, Cookie, for one year and four months. He lives with me and my other cats, and he socializes well with both my pets and my family. Cookie is disciplined, intelligent, and has a heartwarming personality.He loves to sit with me when I lie down nearby, and he has a special way of stealing your heart with his delightful behavior. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule with household chores, a full-time job located far from home, and the jealousy of my two senior cats, I find it challenging to provide Cookie with the attention he truly deserves, especially since I already have three cats of my own.Cookie is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, including rabies, FVRCP, and FELV. I also give him Revolution Plus monthly to keep him healthy. Recently, he underwent a deep dental cleaning.Cookie is incredibly cute, well-behaved, and has a wonderful personality. I am looking for a home for him with owners who are patient and kind to him

Story
Vincent is the ultimate lap cat with the longest tail. Whenever I start working he just jumps right on my lap. He is very goofy and loves playing with toys. He is also a good boy that only scratches the scratching post. He is not picky with food and always wants more. He doesn’t meow super often. He gets his nails out when climbing one of my leather armchairs. I unfortunately can’t afford to get another leather armchair so I decided to rehome him. I’m looking for an adaptor who is gentle with cats to adopt Vincent. He would do well with other cats. He has not seen a dog before.
