Mittens
Mittens quite like her name is full of warmth, and colors that make her unique. Mittens is a very lovable kitten who has a strong keen desire to explore and adhere to her kitty nature. Mittens has a warm heart for those who like to have their pet near by, and are ready and willing to snuggle when she feels ready too. She is soft and lovable, and would do well in a home with another kitty who she can have as a friend, a home where she has free range and lots of mental stimulation (ex. Cat trees, lots of climbing options, fun slinky toys for fetch which she occasionally does too!) and toys she can chew on. She loves to keep herself busy so having that stimulation will make any home suitable to her.
Bones
Bones is a 5y/o fixed male cat. He is a domestic shorthair tabby with no health issues, no dietary issues, and no litter box issues. He is good with most cats and kids. It is unknown how he does with dogs because he hasn’t been around any.
Bones starts off as a very shy cat, especially to unknown people, but after he gets to know you he is the most sweetest baby. He likes to be up on your shoulder nuzzling into you. He likes to play with little toys and laser toys. He’s a little baby that follows you around. He loves attention after he knows you. He’s been strictly indoor from 8 weeks to now.
Cassie
I’m 7 years old- I’ve lived with 3 other cats in the past but right now I just live with my human family and one dog. I’ve gotten along with everyone well! When the dog wants to boss me around too much , I get on or under furniture, but sometimes we play and that’s lots of fun too! Unfortunately one of my humans became very allergic to cats, so they are hoping to find a family I can make just as happy.
I greet my family at the door when they come home. I wait politely for them to pet me or pick me up. I like to be around my family, climb into laps, and be near warm windows. I’m almost always happy to cuddle, but when I’m not I just go off on my own. Mom usually keeps my claws clipped and that’s fine.
I’m spayed since I was little and I’m up to date on all my vaccinations and negative for FIV. I’m an indoor kitty, but if you can supervise me outside for short times , or let me out on a screened in porch, I like that a lot!
I hope you’ll consider adopting me if you love cats.
Sarah
Sarah is very sweet and affectionate. She likes to sleep with people. She’s not afraid of my dog and she doesn’t hiss at my dog so she might be fine in a home with a dog. Sarah would be best in a single cat home.
Midnight & Grimm
Midnight and Grimm are really sweet, loving neutered 3-year-old male cats. They are shy to new people, but they love treats and canned food, so just need a little time to warm up. They love cat nip as well. They are good with little dogs and they are good with kids.
Mushie (AKA Mushroom)
My name is Mushie (short for Mushroom)! I am approximately 3 years old. I love sitting on people’s laps, chin scratches and playing! I think anything can be a toy! My owner is no longer able to care for me, so I need a new home. I have to be an only kitty because I don’t like other cats or dogs. I can be kind of anxious and easily overstimulated, but with the right amount of enrichment/playtime I am happy! I am up to date on my vaccines and tested negative for FeLV, FIV, and HW. I am a healthy young floofy girl who needs plenty of lovin! I had some teeth removed due to resorptive lesions, so I may need dental work in the future. I may also have low-grade asthma; I have a mild cough occasionally but otherwise I am a happy girl!
Stokes
Stokes is a chatty, expressive cat who loves to play. He sticks close to his chosen person, making him a wonderful constant companion. He enjoys being pet and held when he's in the right mood, though he's usually more of a wrestler than a cuddler.
He's never aggressive, but when he gets excited, he might play a bit too rough for small children. He can also be anxious and spooks easily, so Stokes needs a peaceful environment and a caretaker who will help him feel safe. He’d probably love having another cat to play with!
Stokes is smart and food-motivated, which is a great basis for learning tricks. If you have a treat, he'll sit and take it from your hand like a little gentleman!
Stokes was previously adopted by an elderly couple who, unfortunately, recently passed away. Now he's looking for a new home with people who can give him the love, patience, and play time that he needs.
Obi
Obi is looking for a new home. He a sweet 8 year old cat who is great with children and has lived with a dog before. His perfect home would include one with access to a yard. He enjoys being petted and loves people.
Ben & Jerry
Meet Ben & Jerry! These former outdoorsmen now enjoy the luxuries of indoor living. They are two peas in a pod who love to snuggle and play together and will do just about anything for a snack. They love sitting on shoes, chasing wand toys, rolling in catnip, and running around at night. During the day you can usually find them sleeping in their beds or lounging by the window. They are very low maintenance on a day-to-day basis, independent, and don’t seem to mind when I am traveling (which is super often, and I have a great pet sitter who I’d highly recommend!).
Ben – He has urinary issues that have been well managed by being on prescription food. This does have to be monitored, but we have not had any issues since initial diagnosis! He also has Feline Leukemia (FeLV) that is currently in a regressive state and has not exhibited any symptoms from this while I have had him (This website explains more about the virus and the regressive stage!).
Jerry – He also has urinary issues that have been well managed on prescription food, he has never exhibited symptoms. He does not have FeLV at this time.
Their future adopter can have all their things! They also have Embrace Pet Insurance that can be transferred to the new owner!
Rascal
Rascal is a lovable, sweet, and affectionate 11 year old cat. He is a native New Yorker! He would do best in a home without any dogs and would like to be put on a diet.
Dr. Fluffington
Dr. Fluffington is a 9 year old muted tortie with a Ph.D. in Cat Psychology. Her hobbies include playing fetch, wand toys, looking out the window from her cat tree, and sleeping at the foot of the bed. She has a sassy personality but with some patience from an experienced cat owner, she'll follow you around everywhere. We are reluctantly re-homing her due to her having challenges with our two young children. Dr. Fluffington would be happiest in a small home with 1-2 adults, no children, and no other pets.
