Story
Drake (and his sister Delilah), were adopted at the same time, I would like to have them adopted together as they are brother and sister and have been together all their lives. They are 4.5 years old and are house cats. Drake is big but he is such a baby, especially when he is being rocked. Such a protector, loves to strut around the house, surveying the premises ensuring that all is well:) He will come to you for a bit of love on his own terms. And shows lots of love with his head butts and he is always busy in the muffin factory. He likes being up on my desk or on his tree surveying the outdoors & chasing the critters albeit through the window. He loves to lay on the sofa with me and chill whilst I am reading or watching TV with his sister. Love him to pieces!

Story
Delilah (and her brother Drake) where adopted together 4.5 years ago, they are both house cats, and if all possible I'd like to have them adopted together. She is the sweetest. She LOVES giving hugs and snuggling whilst I'm reading and watching TV-borderline a lap cat. Her favorite past time is sitting in the window sun bathing and running from window to window chasing the critters outside, albeit from inside. She loves her brother, who is twice her size, but she always seems to get the better of him - maybe because she is so fast! I love her dearly and am sure she will also melt your heart.

Story
I adopted him from my boss who’s daughter couldn’t keep him in her apartment. He is very affectionate and warms up to people very quickly. He has been around dogs but he does take a long time to warm up to them. He is great with kids and other cats. He also is very curious and loves to explore.

Story
"Scooter is a friendly cat who gets along with all ages, especially children (he recognizes people's age!). He enjoys head and back scratches but avoid his belly unless you're experienced. Though energetic and active during certain times of the day, he's quiet most of the time. He needs at least two rooms to roam.Scooter loves interactive play, and you'll find new ways to engage with him as you bond. Tricky tasks like feeding meds, cleaning ears, and trimming nails require quickness, as he dislikes being restrained but will tolerate it briefly. As a middle-aged cat, his healthcare needs will increase, so we hope you're an experienced adopter who can provide the necessary care and support."

Story
Hi! Thank you for checking out Luckys profile! Some history; Lucky is 1 of a 6 kitten litter that was born in my house from a pregnant neighborhood mama cat I took in to provide safety for her delivery and to ensure she was TNRd. Lucky was rehomed with a friend, but now that friend can no longer care for him. Lucky is 6.5 years old. He is very affectionate, loves head scratches (will reach for them!) and is a lap cat. Lucky can be vocal. I have three other cats and he likes to engage and play with all of them whether the other others like it or not. I am not sure how he is around children, but he does not have a mean temper or grumpy attitude. The main issue I have with Lucky is that he will urinate outside of the litter box on plastic bags left on the floor, or laundry baskets, empty, or full, or rectangular shaped bathmats. I think he looks at these items as close enough to a litter box and decides to pee on them. I’ve become more disciplined, not leaving these items around.

Hi! Thank you for checking out Bebe’s profile! A little back story; Bebe is one of a 6 kitten litter that was born in my house from a pregnant neighborhood mama cat I took in to provide safety for her delivery and to ensure she was TNRd. Bebe was rehomed with a friend, but now that friend can no longer care for her. Bebe is 6.5 years old. She is affectionate occasionally and loves head scratches. Bebe can be vocal. I have three other cats and she likes to engage and play with all of them whether the other others like it or not. She would likely hide from children until she has more familiarity with them. She has what I call a stress spot she likes to lick bald sometimes and it goes through various healing phases, but otherwise she appears healthy although shes petite. Bebe likes to play with fake little mice. She approaches me for cuddles especially when I have a blanket on my lap. She likes to make biscuits too.

Story
I was abandoned at the vet  when I was a kitten, and lived in a cage until my foster human  rescued me.  I am now about a year old.  I love to play with Justice and Winkie, but my favorite activity is purring and talking to my foster.  When I want her to pick me up, I meow.  I can even tell my human I want treats.  We have great conversations.  You can apply for me at gahomelesspets.org  ##2056581##

Story
Cannoli is a very sweet girl. She's not big on playing with toys. Though she does love a good scratching post. She enjoys watching the outdoors and would love a Catio or screened in porch to lay in. She is a very easy going cat that would love a warm lap to lay on. She would be good as a single cat or in a home with an older cat that doesn't want to play. She keeps to herself but will occupy the room with other cats. She loves to get attention from her humans though and will cuddle and even sleep under the covers. She has been with her foster mom for a year now as it took some time for her to trust humans again. Now let's find this sweet girl her forever home.  Applications are here: https://gahomelesspets.org/ghp-cat-application/ ##1757176##

Story
~5 year old neutered male. Favorite activity is biscuit making! Extremely mild temperament, relaxed, cuddly, & friendly; reacts well to other pets. Dewormed, all vaccinations up to date, 3 mos. flea meds available, litter trained. Independently fostered since 01/01. FIV+, FeLV-, Bartonella-. Orange Cat Behavior+ (extra braincell available upon request). Comes w/ food, litter, toys & other supplies. Available to meet and greet before adoption. Oscar was a stray cat that was unusually affectionate. I sporadically fed him and spent time with him for about a year. He was bitten by another feral cat & needed vet care >$400, so my neighborhood pooled resources to provide that. He has been inside between 2-3 households as a foster cat since. The 3 of us are not able to adopt Oscar with the environment he needs. The situation we are facing now is put him in a shelter. This is a death sentence for most FIV cats. We don't want to do this! Please be his angel and help us save Oscar!!!!

Caesar is a cute and loving cat. She came up to me at work and I took her home. Got her spayed and setup with all shots. We tried integrating her with our 2 cats but it has not been successful. One of our cats will not leave her be and tracks her down and attacks her. We did all we could to make this work but I’m worried she’s too stressed in this environment and there might be an injury if these fights continue. She’s super cuddly, friendly and playful, and uses her litter boxes well.
