Story
Beaker came to PCAPS in April, with multiple chemical burns on his back. Through this recovery, he has remained very friendly and people focused, and he is eager to find his forever home.His foster carer reports:`In the years I`ve fostered cats, I`ve never encountered such a sweet, friendly kitty. Despite his wounds, from the first day he came into our house he was ready to sit on laps and purr, and purr and purr!. This has remained his favorite thing to do, so if you want a true lap-cat, Beaker is your boy.` Beaker gets along with his foster family`s two cats, is inquisitive about their little Shih Tzu, and can be found playing with the dog`s tail . On the other hand, he does not love the big dog. Beaker enjoys typical cat toys, and loves chasing a laser pointer. Be advised, because he likes being around people, he will sometimes get underfoot. He also is learning not to jump on tables and counters :-)If you want a cat that will cuddle with you and help you with your computer work, Beaker is the perfect cat for you!

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. Adoption Fee: $40Estimated Date of Birth: 8/23/21Intake Reason: transfer from Fulton County Humane, original intake unknownAnimal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. If their kennel card on display at TAPS shelter facility is marked as unaltered, the animal will be altered prior to being released for adoption.

TAPS strives to keep kennel cards as up to date as possible with current information but from time to time, information may change and a new kennel card may be pending. Full and current vaccination schedule and medical records along with any behavioral disclosures will be provided at time of adoption.

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.

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. As a result, he can play a little rough sometimes but really likes affection and attention on his terms!

Story
He is a year and 6 months currently. He is a sweet and loving cat, but we've started to work long hours and don't have time for him. He has started to show some destructive behavior solely because he is bored. I would prefer to rehome him that get another cat for him because I wouldn't have time for that one either. A 2+ cat household is what he needs, and I just can't provide it. He is up to date in shots and healthy. I got him from my local shelter, and they will allow me to find him another home here as long as you give them a call letting them know that you are taking him so everything is in your name. He will come with his toys, the rest of his food in the container, and the rest of his litter. You can have the box and litter genie as well as it will be cleaned and disinfected. I will toss in his cat tower as well. I don't want any money for him, I just want him in a good home because the shelter cannot guarantee he won't be put down because they are full.
