Story
Hello! My name is Chester!I have been patiently waiting for my fur-ever home since August 2023! I am a friendly boy who can be nervous at first; once I get to know you and I feel at home, I am a big softie! When I'm feeling unsure, you may notice my tail swooshing and that's my communication to say I need a little break. Once I feel comfortable with you, I will rub against your legs, sit on your lap and tell you how much I love you with my little meows. My new family should know that I came to GHS with a history of IBD/enteritis - thankfully my friends at GHS worked very hard to assess me and developed a plan that has been very successful! I am on a special diet and a few supplement to keep me feeling happy and healthy. I am looking for a family that is committed to continuing my treatment plan so I can feel my best self!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Older, mature children may be okay; I would be best suited to a calm, mature homeOTHER CATS: I have lived with cats before and could be a good match after a gradual introduction.DOGS: Yes, with a respectful dog and gradual introduction.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has previous cat experience. SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: MediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Hi, my name is Izzy!I have been patiently waiting for my fur-ever home since December 2023! The GHS family thinks I'm awesome because I can play "hard to get" but I am a big softy once you get to know me! Some of my favorite things include catnip, catnip, and more catnip; if you bring me a pinch or two, I'll show you my wild and goofy side! I am a low-key lady who likes to spend the rest of my day lounging when I'm not being loved on by the shelter staff. My new family should know that I have a progressive FeLV infection, which means I need to be an indoor cat. Feline leukemia (FeLV) is contagious to other cats, and therefore, would recommend consulting with your veterinarian on risks of adding me to a feline-friendly home. My new family should be prepared that I may start to show symptoms related to FeLV or take longer to recovery from ailments that wouldn't be a "big deal" to other cats. I can still live a very happy life in a quiet environment and with regular veterinary care, so the GHS recommends speaking to your vet prior to adopting me. I would make a wonderful addition to a calm and cuddly home - take me home today!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Teenagers or older respectful children please!OTHER CATS: Potentially, if they are also FELV + and with a slow and careful introductionDOGS: Potentially, with a calm, respectful dog.FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: Potentially, if you have some cat experienceSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

Hi, my name is Churro!The GHS family thinks I'm awesome because I am a sweet girl who will bunt around my space and rub all over you for attention. And my fur is SO soft, how could you resist petting it!? My new family should know that I can get a bit overstimulated when I get too much attention - even though I am asking for it, I know, so silly - so I need an owner who can read my cues and respect my boundaries. I am a fuller-figured girl who would benefit from a weight loss diet to help me become my happiest and healthiest self!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: I could be a good match with older childrenOTHER CATS: I could be a good match with a friendly, respectful cat after a proper introduction DOGS: My history is unknown, but I could be a good match with a friendly, respectful dogSOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS: Experience with overstimulated cats would be an assetACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-mediumAM I ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET?

My favourite toys are springs, my ball maze and my squeaky mouse. I am not just a cat, I'm a companion, a friend, a source of laughter and comfort. I'm looking for a forever home with Oliver where we can share our joy and affection. Adopt us, and we promise to fill your life with laughter, love, and lots of purrs.
