Story

2 years.....not only is that how old Violet recently turned, but that's also approximately how long she has been at TAPS. Violet wants all of your love and attention and is actually very affectionate she just doesn't fully know how to express it. She unfortunately never learned how to properly socialize since she didn't grow up with her littermates so her excitement gets the best of her sometimes and then her teeth get involved with a few love nibbles. She is a staff favorite because of her sassy, playful personality and we believe In the right home where she is the only pet with the right UNDERSTANDING human(s) this sweet baby will thrive and become the cuddly cat we all know her to be! If you have the patience and thick skin to work with Violet, please complete an application online at tapsshelter.org.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Kyra is an estimated 6 year old cat that entered the shelter system when her owner passed away. Kyra is currently in a kennel because she does not like to be approached by the other cats but she was raised with another cat so with time, space and appropriate introductions in a home, we believe she would adjust. Her surrender form reports that she is good with children as well but as always, children should be respectful of her space and body languageAdoption Fee: $25Estimated Date of Birth: 3/15/2008Intake Reason: surrender, death of ownerAnimal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption.

Story

Sushi: The Sophisticated Single Lady This regal beauty is Sushi, and she's about to celebrate a milestone birthday - turning 4! Sushi came to us as a tiny kitten and found a loving home, but after two years, she returned due to feline incompatibility (turns out, she's not a huge fan of her canine housemates!). Nor feline friends!Sushi is a low-maintenance lady who appreciates the finer things in life - comfortable naps, delicious (prescription!) EN/ID food, and of course, chin scratches and gentle pets. Don't even think about picking her up though - she prefers to be on her own terms, gracing you with her presence by your side.While she might unleash a little sass if overstimulated (we all have our limits, right?), Sushi is a purrfect companion for someone who enjoys a calm and quiet relationship.Is Sushi the independent queen you've been waiting for? Come meet her and see if you can melt her sassy heart!Adoption Fee: $40Estimated Date of Birth: 7/16/20Intake Reason: Return, brought home new dog and Sushi didn't like the dogAnimal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption.

Story

Meet Tunes, a 10-month-old vocal guy, with a fun and feisty personality. He had a rough start to life, surviving only due to the TLC he received from his foster mom. He is a healthy young man now but does seem to suffer from occasional flareups of buildup in his eyes. He has been raised with both cats and dogs but still has some quirks he displays when interacting with people.

Story

Sonic is a super sweet big boy who loves to cuddle and give baths to any and everyone. Lately he wants to “play” with my older cat who is almost 11 and keeps hurting her. I’ve tried everything else to keep him busy but his main focus is on her. I have 2 big dogs that he loves to play with and he is great with my 4 children. It breaks our hearts to see him go but I do not know what else to do.

Story

Roni is a super sweet cat. I adopted her in July 2020 (she is a COVID baby) from a pet rescue when she was three months old and have lived with her ever since. She is cuddly and used to sleep with me when she was young. When she grew up she became more independent and more adventurous. Very agile and has great energy. When she was about 2 yo I let her explore the world outside and she was born an explorer. She loves the outside world, and spends some time around the house/in the backyard every day, but is still very attached to us. I recently moved and our community does not allow house cats roaming around. We have to keep her indoor. Unfortunately, my kid is very allergic to her and also I am pregnant and expecting another kid. Therefore, I have to rehome Roni. She is very close to humans, being patient with my little tot, and has a sweet temperament. I am looking for a home that gives her enough attention (if kept indoor) or allows her to get fresh air/freedom to hang out.

Story

I rescued Luna from a home where she was locked away for the family's dog being aggressive. I meant to rehome her, but I fell in love with her. She was weary of the dogs, but got comfortable living with them. She started having potty issues when she needed to be around the dogs more often than not. She had a pattern of marking her territory. It was mostly on things the dogs had laid on such as the couch, the bed, a blanket. She is a sweetheart and gets along with anyone and anything. The only issue has been the behavioral marking. She had a UTI before and was treated, but subsequent testing has led to no medical answers for her potty issues. She is the sweetest cat you will ever meet. She loves to be held, cuddle, get lovins, play, eat treats, etc. I have learned ways of handling her potty issues over the last few years, but they have gotten worse. Recent life events & financial burdens have weighed lately- I can only hold onto her for a few more months. Best to have home w/o pets

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jiji was a very loved cat, but had to be returned when her mom became ill. Ever since then she’s been very unsure about things. Sometimes this can come out in her hissing, but really she’s just very scared. She loves laying on or in a cat tree, especially by a window. While scared of new people are scary, when she does let you pet her she has the softest fur you’ve ever felt. She has beautiful eyes and the cutest face. Her previous adopter said one of her favorite things about her was how Jiji would start purring really loud just when she would look at her. There has to be someone out there who is patient and understanding, willing to let Jiji adjust to a new forever home. Her $75 adoption fee covers her spay, vaccines, deworming medication, and flea/tick preventatives and microchip registration. Apply at https://gfrpets.org/apply/adoptcat/ ##1504668##
