Meet Teddy!🐾

Theodora, aka Teddy or Thea, is a gorgeous tortoiseshell with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart!

Teddy is a total people-lover who wants to be your adorable little shadow. She’ll follow you around, cuddle beside you, and keep you entertained with her favorite game: fetch! She also loves zoomies and plenty of attention.

After coming from a hoarding situation, Teddy truly blossomed as an only cat. She’s looking for a home where she can be your one and only feline, soaking up all the love she deserves. She does well with dogs and likes kids, too!

Born May 2024, Teddy is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and FIV/FeLV negative.

FOSTER NEEDED — Help Bryan Sunshine finally feel safe!

Bryan Sunshine was found living outside by a 4 Paws vet who immediately knew he deserved better. This gentle, mostly‑black boy (with a tiny white patch on his chest) has a sweet soul and a dejected little face that tells you he’s known very little human kindness in his life.

Despite everything, Bryan is calm, docile, and incredibly loving once he realizes he won’t be hurt. He’s estimated to be about 5 years old and will make a wonderful family companion with patience and reassurance.

Bryan came to us with alopecia on his ears, likely from repeated untreated ear infections. He’s been seen by an animal dermatologist and is on ear medication for the next few months — his foster will need to be comfortable giving those meds. Whether his ear hair grows back is unknown, but his spirit absolutely will.

Right now Bryan is stuck living in a vet boarding cage. We would love to get him into a real home where he can decompress and learn what safety feels like.

We’re not sure how he is with other cats, but his gentle nature suggests he could integrate with slow introductions.

If you can open your home to a cat who truly needs a soft landing, Bryan Sunshine is waiting.

Meet Sky and Rocky. They came to 4Paws as a pair of bonded brothers, and the concept of personal space is foreign to them. Sky's space is Rocky's, Rocky's space is Sky's, and your personal space simply doesn't exist, because these boys will glue themselves firmly to your side. Just ask Sky: he learned to wear a harness just so he could hang out with you more.

Rocky is a little more cautious about the world, but fear not -- all that really means is he'll be the first to alert you to any strange noise, like a built-in security system for the easy price of a good massage and perhaps a Churu or two.

Sky and Rocky do well with kids, but they'd prefer to be the only animal kings of their future home. Their ideal home will have plenty of loose ends lying around to play with, a human ready to play, and some sunbeams to roast in together.

Sky and Rocky were born June 2025, are neutered, current on vaccines, tested negative for FiV/FeLV, and have been microchipped.

Meet Stormy! Stormy is a sweet, energetic girl who is looking for a home with someone to play with and who will let her warm up to them. She loves to rub on your legs and feet, purring all the while and sometimes stopping to make biscuits on the rug. She is generally quiet but can be vocal if meals are late or a treat is being prepared.

She would love an active playmate and tries to play with the other cats in her foster home, but politely backs off if they aren’t in the mood. She has not been observed with dogs. Stormy’s estimated birth date is June 2025. She has been spayed & microchipped and is current on vaccines. Apply to adopt her at: https://fourpaws.org/adopt-a-cat/

Are you that special person looking to adopt or foster a very special kitty?! Black Jack is a handsome, fun, sweet, and loving boy! His favorite thing to do is spend time with his people. He loves to be pet and often jumps onto his human’s lap for head bumps and cuddles. ...and don't let his age mislead you - he still loves to play, especially with feather wand toys!

Black Jack has allergies, so 4Paws sent him to a pet allergist. His allergies are now under control with a twice daily pill which he eats like a kitty treat. Unfortunately, his medicine is a bit expensive, so 4Paws is offering to pay for his treatment for life! All we need from you is food, litter and love!

Black Jack lived with another cat in his prior home, but he would do best as the dominant kitty in a quiet home or as an only kitty. Black Jack has lived with children, and does well with school-age and older children.

Black Jack’s estimated birthdate is January 2018, and he is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, tested negative for FIV & FeLV, and is microchipped. Apply to adopt him online at https://fourpaws.org/adopt-a-cat/
