Story
This cat is a great cat, and it hurts my heart to see him go, he’s very loving, he prefers to eat dog food, he’s great with all animals, dogs, cats, birds, snakes, etc. he’s very affectionate and will come right up to you. He’s not shy, a little stand off-ish when introducing to new pets. (May hiss for first few days) loves to loaf around, and very explorative, prefers sleeping in the same bed as you. Meows only for attention and food. Please treat him well.

Story
Moo Moo as we call him is approximately 15 yrs old. He is sweet and a lap kitty. He gets along well with other animals and people. He likes to be a part of the family and will stay in the rooms where people are gathered. He is an indoor cat. He is littler trained and not destructive. He is a beautiful long haired Maincoon mix and should be brushed to keep shedding down. He enjoys his catnip banana toys. Unfortunately allergies are making rehoming necessary. He was my moms cat and she has passed away. We have had him with us since her passing and love him very much. I would love for him to find a home for the rest of his time here on earth until such time he will join my mom in heaven.

Story
Hello!  I have a cat named Riley who has been on quite an adventure over the past few years. He was abandoned by his original owner about 6 years ago and I found him in an alley. He is very friendly so I took him in and brought him to a vet. They told me he had FIV so I unfortunately couldn't bring him home with me because I have another cat. My mother agreed to take care of him until I found him a place but I struggled to find anyone near here that would take him. He bonded with my sister but my mom has never really wanted a cat. She can no longer take care of him but I have no options here as we only have kill shelters and they will do it without giving him a chance. He is very cuddly and playful and deserves to have a home where he will be loved and cared for.

Story
Riley was found a few years ago outside his home and when we tried to return him to his owners they bolted and never returned. We are unsure of exactly how old he is but we think he’s around 12 or 13. He doesn’t act 13 loves to play like a kitten and always wants attention. He’s super cuddly but can’t be around other cats. He’s okay around dogs as long as they don’t get up in his face otherwise he doesn’t really care if there are dogs around. He’s the best cat but needs a home where he’ll actually get the love, attention and care he deserves.

Story
Sara is a short haired white Calico female estimated to be 2 to 3 years old. She was living as a stray for many years. She was rescued along with her 3 kittens, who have already been adopted. Sara is very sweet but shy and would do best in a quiet adult home or one with older children who will give her time to adjust and trust. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I am a caretaker of city cat colonies and a trapper. I do rescue a few cats and kittens along the way. Lately I have found many friendly cats and abandoned cats that I am trying to find homes for. I do home visit for ALL the cats that are up for adoption in my rescue. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO ADOPT A CAT TO ANYONE LIVING MORE THAN ONE HOUR AWAY FROM ROCHESTER, NY All the cats that are up for adoption are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations,combo tested and treated for fleas and worms. The adoption fee helps me to recoup some of the costs and allow me to continue to TNR and rescue homeless and abandoned cats in the city.

Story
Kati (mom) is a fully vetted Torti about 1 year old. Kelcy is her fully vetted Calico kitten about 5 months old. Mom Kati is super sweet. Kelcy is shy at first but once she gets used to you she loves to be petted. These two have to be adopted together because Kelcy needs her support to come out of her shell. They were both strays living on the Rochester city streets and a bit thin due to their lack of food. They are very loving and deserve a very special home. The best home for them would be a quiet home with no other pets. One with older children that will give them time to acclimate or someone who lives alone and is looking for loving companionship. Their adoption fee is $150 for both kitties. They are both spayed , combo tested and up to date on all vaccinations. If you would like to give this loving mom and baby a home please complete our online Cat Adoption Interest Form or send us an email. _____________________________________________________________________________ I am a caretaker of city cat colonies and a trapper.
