.Ladybug aka Rosie came to our back porch pregnant, scared, and starving. She was desperately searching for any bit of food and came back every night to see if the other neighborhood cats left scraps on their plates. After a week of barely approaching us, Rosie was hungry enough to allow herself to be caught and brought inside again! We don’t know her full story but she was clearly someone’s abandoned pet because she is so incredibly sweet and loving. Rosie would be happy if every day she got to follow you around and get kisses any spare moment you had. She’s playful, curious, and earned the nickname “Nosey Rosie” because she just can’t stop seeing what you’re up to! She has learned to be brave and no longer hides when nervous. Now she prefers to sit right next to you, just in case you may need saving or a cuddle. She’ll be your absolute best friend if you adopt her! A friend with clear communication skills, by the way. Rosie is very clear that she loves face, shoulder, and head scratches (and kisses) but she is not a fan of butt pets. She’ll also chirp and roll around on the floor in the mornings to let you know she missed you while you were sleeping. Rosie is FIV positive, which is NOT a death sentence, the only way it could be spread and ONLY to cats is by deep bite wounds and she has proven that she can live peacefully in a house full of cats with no issues. She is being fostered in a home with four adult cats (3 girls & 1 boy) and she gets along with all of them, peacefully, with no incidents. She would do well in a house with other animals of any kind but might struggle in a house with young kids. She needs to live with someone who can understand her cues for no more pets and who will be ok with her always being right at your feet for attention. Is that your house? Are you looking for someone to cuddle up with you full of love and purring? If interested in Ladybug (Rosie) or any of our castaway cats please fill out an application at castawaycatsde.com

ABOUT RONITAS Meet our handsome black and white kitty, Ronitas! He came to HAP when he was found as a stray. We attempted to find his owners, but sadly no one came looking for him. Our vet estimates he is about 5 years old and has previously lived in a home, based on his demeanor. Ronitas has a tough exterior and may act like a big boy at times, but spend a few moments with him and he is a sweet man. Ronitas loves to play and chase after wand toys. He often behaves more like a dog than a cat, preferring to tackle and wrestle with any toy that crosses his path. Once he's released some playful energy, he shows off his affectionate side. He enjoys petting and neck scratches. While he can be picked up, he's not a fan of being carried around or held for long periods. Ronitas can be too rough for most other cats, so a home as your only kitty would be best! If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!
