Cosmo

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Cosmo! A sweet rambunctious young gray tabby looking for his forever home. I found Cosmo a little over a year ago - he was trapped inside a closet at my former job. He was a wild 4 mo. old, jumping on shelves, knocking over books, chewing on loose papers; they insisted on calling animal control, but I swooped him up and took him home. He's the kindest cat - he loves to play and rub up against anything and everything. He not a lap cat but a “need to be as close to you as possible” cat. I’m looking for a forever home for Cosmo, as I am too busy to satisfy his need for play and stimulation. He’s often left alone all day and lacks the necessary play needed to fill his natural urges. Our relationship has suffered significantly and I’m not sure what to do. Cosmo needs a dedicated cat lover who is willing and able to spend quality time with him and satisfy his need for play. As much as I’ll miss my boy, he deserves a home where he is a central character, not in the background.

Story

Stephy is a 4 year old American Short Hair. She is gentle, loves having her chin scratched and cuddling. She loves sitting by the window to watch birds on the trees and sitting on ledges. At first, she won’t like being carried but eventually will love it. I am looking for someone who give her a loving home and care for her as if she were your own.

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Clementine is a sassy, affectionate, anxious and playful friend. I adopted her from the Humane Rescue in 2020. They shared that her previous home had rambunctious kids that over stepped her boundaries, picking her up and tossing her whenever they wanted to play. They rehomed her because she wasn’t receptive to that kind of rough housing as would any cat. When we met she was constipated and looked for anywhere to hide. She’s still anxious but warms up when treats enter the mix. She needs space and reassuring head rubs. Loves dangly toys and the laser pointer. She’ll beg like a dog for table food– especially roti, seafood and chicken. Don’t give in. She loves to snuggle up in a blanket and move with the sun beam for naps on the floor. If you work from home, she will be your office manager. If you need to use the bathroom, she’s coming too. If you’re eating she’ll head to her bowl too.

Story

Egypt is an 2 year old cuddly and affectionate cat. She answers to her name and loves to sit in your shoulders when seated. A home with adults, a retired person looking for some company, or a home with older kids would work best for her. She’s not a fan or other pets.

Story

Hi! 👋 Meet Cindy :) she is ~3.5 years old and I have been fostering her since 12/10/24. She came to me after spending a few weeks fostering with my friends. Their neighbors were moving and abandoned her (left her inside their empty unit with a big bowl of food, water, and a dirty litter box), how terrible! Thankfully my friends ran into the neighbors as they were driving away and were able to take her in and keep her safe. She is incredibly smart and affectionate, loves to snuggle and play, and is very vocal. Her raspy meow is adorable ☺️ She loves her cat TV (YouTube nature videos with birds and squirrels 🐿️). I would love to keep her, she gets along well with my boy cat but sadly my 2 girl cats are not fans. I think she would do great in a home with boy cat(s), playful dogs, children, or as a solo pet. She is up to date on shots, FELV negative, and indoor only. Please reach out if you’d like to meet her or have any questions! 😸

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, my name is Rocky II. My mom named me that because she had a cat years ago, of course named Rocky, whom she loved dearly & felt the name suited me too. She adopted me right before the pandemic and took care of me while I entertained her while she was “locked down” in her senior apartment. She also realized that I’m deaf and had to get used to letting me know she was there to keep from scaring me all the time. Sometimes I meow pretty loud but as soon as you look at me I’ll meow very sweetly. I think sometimes I just do it because I don’t know how loud I actually am. Mom passed away & I’ve been living w/her daughter for the last 6 months but I just can’t handle her dogs and I really need a more 1 on 1 relationship. I love to get brushed & will purr & rub on you as long as you want me to. I can also take a hint & am happy w/my alone time as well. I’m pretty chill, don’t mess up the furniture, don’t pee outside my box. I’m a pretty decent guy & would love a new comfortable home.

Meet Ren! Ren is a 2 year old girl, up to date on vaccines and disease-tested negative. Here's her story: "I was found in a colony at a local park and clearly didn't belong there. I do fine with dominant cats but will chase any that run away. I like being near my peeps although I'm not a lap cat. I like playing with paper balls and toy mice. I purr easily and give head butts and like kisses on my head. I would do best in a quiet home with or without other cats." Make an appointment to meet her, you will be glad you did!
