Oliver is a 4 year-old Domestic Shorthair mix who weighs 9 lbs. He was brought to CHA after being found as a stray by a good Samaritan. Oliver spends his days playing with wand toys, lounging on his blankets, and enjoying wet food treats. He has done well interacting with other cats in the shelter, and would likely do well with any potential cat siblings. Oliver is a sweet, quiet boy who can`t wait to find a home of his own.

Story
Storm is a 3 year-old Domestic Shorthair mix who weighs 7 lbs. She was surrendered to CHA when her owner could no longer care for her. Storm is an inquisitive, adventurous girl who enjoys running around the cat room. She is very sweet and enjoys being pet, although she can sometimes become overstimulated. When overstimulated, she might swat or try to bite. Storm would likely be best in a home with more mature children who are better able to read her signals and who are old enough to understand how and when she prefers to be touched. If you`re looking for a loyal companion, Storm could be the girl for you!

Walter is a lovable guy who has quickly become a staff favorite here at CHA. He is super affectionate and wants to spend as much time with his people as possible.
