Story
Say hello to Madeline, a 3-4-year-old tabby who once roamed the streets but has since decided that being pampered indoors is far superior. She adores attention and will graciously accept pets, chin scratches, and admiration—but if you try to pick her up, she’ll shoot you a look that says, “Let’s not ruin a good thing.” Madeline firmly believes that affection should be on her terms, and she’ll happily trot after you to remind you she’s the true star of the household. If you’re in need of a lovable, independent feline with just the right amount of sass, Madeline is ready to move in and take charge!The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.February 23, 2025, 4:15 pm

Story
I adopted my sweet cat Annie in February 2020 when she was 8 weeks old from a shelter. She's currently 5 years old. She's a fairly independent cat, but if you're sitting on the couch with a fuzzy blanket, she'll hop up and sit in your lap and make biscuits on the blanket. She loves to lick on super soft blankets, and she also loves to lick your hand. She loves when you pet her. She doesn't like to play with toys much. When I adopted Annie, I had a small very laid back chihuahua. He was a lap dog, very low energy. She did fine with the dog. That dog passed away in November 2023. In January 2024, I adopted another dog from a shelter. He's also a chihuahua, but he's got more energy than my last dog had. He loves to run, jump and play, but unfortunately he's too hyper for Annie. I've given it over a year, was hoping that she would get used to him, but that hasn't happened. I would love for Annie to be in a calmer home with no other pets, she deserves to be the queen of your castle!

GENTLE YOUNG LADY IS FINE FOR ANY AGE FAMILY, BUT LIKES LIFE ON THE MELLOW SIDE. LOVES PEOPLE, ADORES CUDDLING AND PETTING! HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH OTHER ANIMALS, BUT WOULD LOVE BEING YOUR ONLY PET! I`m a cutie with big pretty eyes, very short fur, and so many stripes! I`m quiet, and if I do say anything, it`s a soft sweet voice. I hangout kind of keeping myself busy or just lounging around waiting for someone to join me. Once people are around I`m perky and very attentive! I love the sound of your voice, so talk to me often! I`ll be your best buddy when you`re up, and a great cuddle bug when you settle in. When you pet me I like to roll and squirm with excitement, and get massages down my neck and back. I haven`t had a past lifestyle that gave me toys to play with, so I don`t play with them much in my kennel. Once I spend time out they may look like they need chasing! Help me learn to have some fun youngster play time with some of my toys, electronic toys and tunnels. With our wand toys, we can start having fun together! I can be picky with canned food, so you may need to experiment to see just what I like. I`m pretty good with most dry foods though. I`m content with soft places to lay. Be sure to put soft blankets on the furniture for me to sit with you and feel like I belong. I will love a cat tree by a window to sleep on, enjoy the sunshine and watch outdoors. I`m very happy lady and sure to make you very happy too!

EXPERIENCED CAT PEOPLE PREFERRED IN CALM AND QUIET HOME. SWEET GIRL IS NERVOUS, BUT WANTING TO BE LOVED AGAIN. ONLY TAKES A LITTLE SWEET TALK, PATIENT TLC TO PET AND HOLD HER. WILL DO BEST WITH OTHER SWEET, FUN CATS AROUND. RECOMMEND ADULTS AND OLDER CHILDREN ONLY TO HELP HER ADJUST AND TRUST AGAIN.My family lived outside with our wonderful mom for a while recently. We have been around people in the past, but now I am nervous and will need you to help me learn to trust someone again. I don`t seem to be afraid to be in the big busy room, just in my own space. I`m still sweet and cuddly with other friendly cats, it`s just people that let me down. I react very well to soft singing! But you can just come give me some sweet talk. I will probably hiss you once, maybe twice at first, I may even act like I`m going to swat to see if it scares you. BRING YOUR HAND UP SLOWLY FROM BEHIND ME AND PET MY BACK AND HIPS FIRST. I will relax with a soft look on my face and enjoy being pet, even though I`m might still look at your hand once in awhile just to be sure. I really don`t seem to mind if you scruff me to pick me up and hold me though. It will only take some practice doing this for a little while to make my fears go away and bring back the sweet innocent little girl I was before with so much love to give! I like watching the other kids play with their toys, but I only join in once in awhile. I can really have fun with the spinning butterfly when I do! Get the toy that moves under a sheet with the butterfly on top from Amazon. I will enjoy both of them as I start wanting to have fun again! You`ll love watching me play, I can be really good at trying to catch that butterfly! Teach me to play with our wand toy and have fun along with me! The more I play the more I will forget the past and just have fun again! My favorite place is the flat poofy bed on the floor with a blanket on top of it. I feel safe being in the corner under that chair, even though I`m out with everybody stopping by for a cuddle once in awhile. I like to lay low now, but I jumped up on the condo before, so I will be learning to climb. Put blankets on the furniture to find as I learn to get up there and find a new place to hang out with you. It will be awesome to be able to relax and be a part of a family again and to be able to give you love and cuddles anytime you want!

SOME CAT EXPERIENCE RECOMMENDED. FAIRLY QUIET HOME NEEDED. SWEET GENTLE GIRL CAUTIOUSLY TRYING TO TRUST AND LOVE PEOPLE AGAIN. LOVING WITH OTHER FRIENDLY CATS. BEST WITH OLDER GENTLE KIDS ONLY, NO TODDLERS.My family has lived outside with our very sweet mom for a while recently. While I`m fine being around other kittens and friendly cats, I will need some TLC for just a little while to start trusting people again. I like to be pet and I want to be loved, so I am totally willing if you`ll take the time. You can sweet talk and then gently pet me now, but I don`t look very relaxed yet. You can scruff me to pick me up to cuddle too. I`ll just purr and relax in your arms. At first I may be afraid in a new place like I was here. The first day I would hiss and spit at people reaching toward me, but the next day I was not doing that anymore and starting to show how sweet and willing I am. I was cuddling with my siblings at first, but I I`m starting to be more independent and being by myself a lot. I`ll still mingle with the others once in awhile, sometimes even laying under the raised bed with one or two of them, but I haven`t been caught playing but very briefly a couple of times. I tend to like the motion activated toy moving under a sheet with the butterfly twirling on top, from Amazon. I`ve just been laying on the shelf a lot on the nice soft blanket. I also like the flat poofy bed with a blanket on it in the corner under the chair sometimes. I`ll even share it if somebody comes over. Somebody just needs to spend time with me and make me feel safe so I will start to play and have fun again, and forget about being afraid. Give me a covered bed or a covered place with a bed underneath to relax and gather my courage. I respond very very well to sweet talk and especially relax when you sing softly! Come visit me and just let me hear your voice. I`ll come out more and more to visit! Keep a few soft toys out for me to play with, that fun electronic toy would be great, and slowly get me to play with our wand toys to start building my confidence back. Then you`ll see the wonderfully adorable little girl that`s always been inside coming to visit you and snuggle! That will be so great!

LOTS OF FUN AT PLAY CHASING ELECTRONIC TOYS. QUIET, SPUNKY AND SWEET, LOVES TO GENTLY SNUGGLE. GOOD WITH EVERYONE GENTLE, SO TODDLERS COULD MAKE HER NERVOUS. LOVES HANGING OUT WITH CAT BUDDIES.Look at my cute socks, don`t you just love them!?! I can be a little shy about being picked up until we`re better acquainted, but I`ll still let you and will enjoy having a nice cuddle with you! I`m really very sweet and very soft and gentle. I MUST HAVE MOTION ACTIVATED ELECTRONIC TOYS! I won`t be scared and will settle right in when I have them to keep me busy! I can sometimes get very enthusiastic trying to catch my electronic toys, especially the flying butterflies! I can get totally lost in what I`m doing, no matter what`s going on around me. I do love my kitten friends, but I don`t like to be interrupted when I`m playing. They can play anywhere around me, just not with the toy I`m playing with. I still love to chase and snuggle with the others the rest of the time. I love having blankets or soft mat in a quiet part of the room, preferably under a desk or side table, or just a covered area. I like laying on the bottom of the condo they have here. I love soft blankets, so put them on the furniture since I`ll be learning to climb any day now to come up and sit with you!

A SWEET GO-GETTER AND LEADER. HE WILL ENJOY HAVING FUN AND GENTLE PEOPLE AND CATS AROUND, AND LOTS OF ELECTRONIC TOYS! TIMID WITH PEOPLE AT FIRST SO PREFERS GENTLE HANDLING, EVEN CAREFUL TODDLERS SHOULD BE OKAY. FUN, FUN, FUN BOY!As the biggest, it`s my job to show the others how everything works and what we`re supposed to do. I also supervise some awesome cuddle puddles when it`s time to sleep. I`m when your approach to pick me up, but I`m easy to hold and love very gentle cuddles. I may be in charge, but I`m still a soft and sweet little boy! I had fun playing with everybody, and us boys like to wrestle together, but I spend most of my time out playing and playing and playing with the motion activated electronic toys. They didn`t scare me, and I showed the others how much fun they are! Please keep some around for me as much as possible. They come from Amazon. I`m still learning to climb, but I`m not strong enough to go very far. In a couple of months I`ll be savvy enough to safely use a cat tree to have fun too! I also like cardboard scratchers. I play well on my own, but I also play very well with others. I don`t like to share my food though. I love the soft blankets, so put them on the furniture for me to find, and I`ll like a soft mat to sleep on in a quiet, partially covered spot with a stuffed toy to snuggle with. I`m really cute with my extra furry cheeks that make me different from the others that look like me. I`m a great guy that shouldn`t have any problems settling in with my new family very quickly. Just remember to keep the toys on and keep the little toys out. Let`s play with our wand toy often too!
