692M: Vanilla

SPECIAL NEEDS

Vanilla is a sweet boy with lots of love to give. He loves to cuddle, get pets, sleep close to his foster mom at night, and even likes being carried around, all 17 lbs of him! Vanilla was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which for him, causes him to throw up when he is stressed. For this reason, he would need a home that has a regular routine and is fairly quiet. Vanilla does have many triggers that cause him to get sick, which will be discussed with potential adopters, but his condition is very manageable in the right environment. He does give love bites when he is happy which sometimes are a bit harder than he realizes, so he would not be suitable for a home with children. He does, however, get along extremely well with other cats. If you feel you can provide Vanilla with his perfect home, and have the patience it will take for him to settle in, we'd love to hear from you!

837F: Ivy

Ivy is a spunky little girl with a bold attitude. She would like for the other cats in the foster home to think she's the top cat, but little does she know they allow her to think it. Ivy is very much a people cat and would also do well in a home as an only pet.

974F: Pecano

Pecano is a very playful young cat. She races back and forth, takes a long slide down the hall on the hardwood floors, and then crashes into the wall! She wants to be wherever her foster parents are, and even likes to take her naps nearby. Pecano has had experience with dogs and likes them. She would probably prefer to be the only cat, although she is settling in with another foster cat that she 'tolerates' right now. Who knows, possibly they will become playmates.

1092F: Giselle

Giselle is a girl with cattitude! Being the only girl in a litter with five brothers, can you really blame her? She wrestles, gets into mischief and does everything else the boys like to do! She can play 'hard to get' in the beginning, but once you start with the pets, this little girl finds her motor and can't get enough! Giselle would do well in a home with another cat, or on her own.

1094M: Kodak

This handsome boy is gentle, playful and very loving with the other cats in his foster home. He really misses his playmates when they get adopted but when newcomers arrive he's the greeting committee. Kodak has been in foster care for some time that's because he really hasn't come around to liking people. He is very gentle and does enjoy a tummy rub from time to time, also loves chasing after the laser pointer light, playing with the tangling toys with you but just doesn't like to be picked up and held. He's not a social cat and really just wants to be where the other cats are. Kodak will make a great companion for another cat and does get a long with the 2 resident dogs in his foster home. If you have some time and patience he may even learn to love his new parents, you just never know what could happen. Kodak would do best in a quieter home with a lot of love and patience.

1103F: Molly is Adopted!

Good Golly, Miss Molly! This gorgeous, friendly little calico is the busiest kitten, but when play time is over she will come to you for pets and cuddles. She likes to lie on your lap and soak up some attention, purring the whole time. At bed time, Molly will probably be licking your ears or biting your toes!

1107F: Maxine

Presenting - the Black Hunter! And just what does this fancy black panther hunt? Little pieces of rolled up paper, colorful plastic balls, paper under the drapes, feet under the blanket. Maxine, or Max for short, is an extremely affectionate and outgoing cat with thick, lush fur that shines and it's hard to resist running your hand through her coat. She is one delightful cat who just loves to lie beside you on the couch, on the bed, wherever you may be! She will follow her foster mom into whatever room she is in just to get a little lovin'. Maxine would be fine with the right cat as a companion (no dogs), kids as she is quite gentle, or on her own because this gal also has an independent spirit - it is the hunter in her!

1115M: Harley

I'm a black tabby. I love attention and affection from my foster mom. Of my brother Buddy and sister Faith, I was the first to realize that cuddle time is a great thing. When my siblings also climb up on our foster mom's lap I try to discourage them so I can get more petting. I'd like to have a friend to play with because I like to play a lot.

1117M: Buddy

There's nothing better between bouts of play time than cuddle time with my foster mom. I was very shy at first, but I'm over that now. I'm the smartest one of the three of us because I'm the one that learned to sit so that I can get a treat before my siblings. Playing with toys and my siblings is great so I'd like to have a friend to play with.

1138F: Gypsy

This sweet little cat moved into an open garage where she had her four kittens. The garage owners allowed her inside the house for a short while but soon wanted 'rid' of her and her kittens. Her babies weren't socialized very well but Gypsy is a real pet. She loves a gentle petting and chin scratch and there is a look of gratitude in her eyes when she looks up at you. Two weanling kittens were introduced to her and she immediately began licking and nursing them like they were her own.

1140F: Epitome

This little girl has unique classic tabby markings with white toes and tummy. Epitome came to the home quite fearful of people but she is improving every day and is good with her foster mom. She is appreciating the finer things in life, like massages and cuddles. She will need a quieter home.

1141M: Etcetera

1205M: Napoleon

Such a regal cat am I, at least that is what my Foster Mom says when I look out the window. I seem to have a beautiful grace about me, however I sure like to have fun with life by playing with the other Foster cats in the home. I do like it a lot when people come over to visit as I really like people and like to have them pet and hold me as much as possible. I especially like children that come to visit me as I really get into playing with them and hanging out while they talk to me. I don't talk much or meow which probably is a nice feature, I don't know for sure but I'm told I'm a really good boy.

1247M: Dawson

Dawson can be such a little chatter box. He loves to tell stories, and to let you know when he's lost and can't find you. He likes it when you talk back to him too. It's almost as if he actually understands you. Dawson is great with kids, having no issues being picked up and carried around the way young kids do.

1282M: Ringo is Adopted!

1299M: Elvis

1300M: Domino

Domino was found out in the cold with a badly infected crushed paw. The vet had said he had been like this for a few days, that the wound was not new. That must have really hurt. Domino had hopped on one foot towards someone who he had hoped could help and she did. It was the UPS lady making her deliveries, little did she know that a hurt cat would be her next special delivery. So she swooped him up and put him in the back of her truck. She was determined to find him some help and she did. Domino had to have a toe amputated, but was a real tropper and is coming along nicely, you can hardly even tell. He is a big boy with a lot of affection to give, he is calm and gentle but when it comes to the other cats in his foster home he is a big bully. Although gets along great with the 2 resident dogs.

1301F: Angelina

Angelina arrived at her foster home on Christmas eve with 5 kittens. She was a very good mom and enjoyed playing with and watching her kitttens grow up. But now all the kittens have gone to their new homes and is awaiting the day she can have her own people to love and who will love her. She is gentle, playful and likes to have some cuddles. She gets along extremely well with Domino, another foster cat in her home, as I say they are both cut from the same cloth. She seems to understand him and his bullying ways with the other cats. Its almost like he is looking after her and wathching out for her. She really does know how to handle him. Angelina also gets along great with the 2 resident dogs.
