Another kitty being fostered, Fonzie is a 4-year-old tabby who really resembles a bengal! And perhaps, like his hybrid cousin, Fonzie also likes to walk a bit on the wild side!

Fonzie would do best with owners (or handlers, as you can never truly own a cat!) who have experience in dealing with semi-feral cats. Perhaps a place that has access to outdoor space would be a great fit for him! His foster feels that he is too tame to be a feral cat, but definitely needs his space.

If you're someone who has experience with semi-feral cats and lets their cats outdoors and do their thing, then you might be an ideal "handler" for this beautiful boy.

Unbothered. Fed. Happy. In my lane... I am definitely flourishing at my foster mom's home, but am still waiting on my forever home!

Bam Bam is a 5-year-old domestic short hair/tabby who gets along with cats and small dogs and can hang with older children (preferably over 10). Although you'd never notice from his photos, he is a little anxious, but that is being managed by his once per day "zen" pill that he is not fussy about taking.

👏Now Available For Adoption 👏

My name is Juno and I am a 2-year-old male orange kitty who loves to explore my surroundings. My dream is to fly on the Juno spacecraft currently in orbit around the planet Jupiter. Alas! It’s only a dream because that Juno took off long before I was born. But I can pretend, can’t I?

My most favorite activity is to check out my home, of course, to be sure everything is as it should be – then I want to watch kitty TV from a cat tree in front of a window where I can monitor the birds, squirrels, and people going by. Then it’s time to play with wand toys with a mouse, feathers or worm on the end of it. Your job is to make those things dance so I can show off my catching skills. I will head butt you to remind you that it is time to pet and scratch my head so I can purr at you. I am not real thrilled to be picked up, but I can stand it for a little while – then I will squirm to get down.

Like many cats moving into a new environment, I might seem a little shy and timid at first, but with time and encouragement, I will show you my playful, affectionate side and may approach our visitors for a few pets. I have had minimal exposure to other cats and dogs – the cats I did not like but the dog was sort of OK. I will sit beside you or on your lap for a little human TV watching and keep you company at night.

So, what do you say? Please come to the shelter so we can meet and decide if we are fated to be companions forever.
