Story
Granola (lovingly nicknamed Stinky) is almost 2 years old. He is loving, cuddly, and absolutely goofy. He moved with us from Virginia where we adopted him as a kitten. We love him dearly, but sadly he has not done well with our baby. He is friendly and kind to all adults, but not a fan of small children (baby age). He is scared of the outdoors and loves a good fuzzy blanket. He is a professional bug hunter, so you’ll never have to worry about spiders or critters. He is talkative and loves people once he warms up to them. He’s a big cuddler and will cozy up with you every night to watch a movie. We are heartbroken to part with him, but we are worried our new addition to the family is causing him too much stress. We have a Catit water fountain, a raised bowl for food, a ModCat top entry litter box, and a litter genie that we would give you free of charge. We just want what is best for him and are wanting a safe new home!

Story
Introducing Mama, the remarkable feline whose journey from feral to fabulous is nothing short of inspiring. This true rags-to-riches story began when Mama crossed paths with one of Bossy Paws amazing fosters, who recognized her need for medical attention and a loving home.Under their care, Mama's transformation unfolded as she slowly but surely learned to trust again. With patience and dedication, she not only gave her trust but poured her heart into forming deep bonds with her newfound friends. Now, Mama exudes gratitude every day through the abundance of love she showers upon those around her.Though she doesn't demand much, Mama deserves the world and more. A cozy cat tree to snooze in, a sunny spot to bask in the warmth of the sun's rays, and her favorite Tiki Cat food are among life's simple pleasures that bring her joy. Sharing her space with other felines comes naturally to Mama, and she's even tolerant of those curious creatures called dogs, though she may simply choose to ignore them—they're dogs, after all.Mama's resilience, grace, and capacity for love serve as a testament to the incredible spirit of rescue animals. Are you ready to welcome this radiant ray of sunshine into your home and witness firsthand the beauty of a heart that has known both hardship and healing?Apply today at bossypawsrescue.orgAdoption fee: $75.00 Estimated DOB: 08/14/2014

Story
Born on 4/26/24, Vegas is ready for his furever home! Their mom was a community cat who found someone to take her in to give birth. Once they could leave their mom, they came to our home! He is currently with his 3 other siblings, Maggie (ID: 6002362), Thunder (ID: 6002388), & Parker (ID: 5995294), waiting for someone to open their hearts to them. Let me know if you are interested in the siblings! If you are looking for a curious, loving, goofy, little boy who loves to play and has some of the loudest purrs... that's Vegas! Ideally, Vegas would go to a home with another kitty or be adopted with one of his siblings. He needs to be indoors only. Vegas is best described as an extroverted introvert! Please give this little baby a chance to steal your hearts. He will amaze you at his loud purrs & big heart! If you are interested, there is a $125 fee or $200 for him & one of his siblings. Cost covers the care & vet bills while we care for them. Thank you for considering Vegas!
