I am a beautiful black cat with a once-broken foot that makes me a little jumpy when you first start to pet me. But once I realize you are the affectionate sort, I am really friendly and happy to be at your service.

 Gavin

Breed: DSH
Color: White
Sex:  Male
Age: Mature Adult

I am a sleek youthful man who is in great shape! I am a quiet, peaceful lover. I will squint my eyes with pleasure when you give me chin, cheek & head scratches. I would do best as the only cat, because I am a loner who wants all of your affection
 to myself!

Meow, meow! Are you looking for a sweet young cat? My sister Shoshi and I are explorers who love to climb. I am litter box trained, and good with other cats.

Tony

Breed: DSH
Color: Brown Tabby
Sex:  Male
Age: Adult

 

I am a wonderful cat that often gets looked over because of my quiet ways. However, when you pet me, my personality comes to life. I am looking for someone who will love me for who I am and give me a stress-free lifestyle.

Tilley

Breed: DSH
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Female
Age:
Young Adult

I am in love with my best friend Chamberlain, who frequently throws his paw around me and lets me nuzzle close. When I am not with him I am shy if you are a stranger. Chamberlain and I just met a few months back, but our connection has been electric. Please consider taking the both of us home, because he makes my life complete.



Nellie

Breed: DSH
Color: Orange Tabby & White
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult; 4 years

I am peaceful lady that gets along with other cats and waits patiently for her lovin'. I will sit with you forever and let you pet me, but when you visit me here at the APS I will wait for you to approach me.

Breed: DSH
Color: Tortie
Sex:  Female
Age: Mature Adult

Will you be the one to take my calm kitty-ness home? I love those who give me chin scratches and pet me gently, and soon I will adore you and be asking for more. I have a "squeek" as a meow that will charm you completely. I would prefer a child free home. I'm looking for a place where I can feel comfortable just lounging around. I've successfully with other cats and dogs.
Demi

Breed: DSH
Color: Calico
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult



I was a fabulous mother to 5 kittens who have all been adopted. I also helped take care of 6 other kittens that weren't biologically mine -- but I loved them like they were my own. I get along great with other felines.



Rainbow Kit


Breed: Oriental Shorthair
Color: Gray
Sex: Female

 
Daisy

Breed: DSH
Color: Black
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult

I'm looking for a very special person to look past my plain black coat and see the sweet kitty cat I really am. I like my quiet time but I do shower lovin' on humans to get scratches, rubs, or to see what you might be puttin' in my food dish! I love to be up high and watch the world around me.


 
Balen

Breed: DSH
Color: Brown Tabby & White
Sex: Male
Age: Adult; 1.5 years

I am a mellow being that causes ZERO trouble. I love laps, tv, sun rays, and crunchy treats. I want a companion I can spend lots of time with and I promise to keep their lap warm. I get along great with other cats! I like to groom them affectionately, especially my girl Mattie.

Honey

Breed: DMH
Color: Black
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult


I'm an extremely friendly, loving cat who will let you love on me for a very long time. I don't even mind my belly rubbed as long as you are nice and gentle. I have an extra pound or two, but since I love the feather wand so much, I could probably lose that in no time with frequent play sessions.

Shoshi

Breed: DSH
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Female
Age: Young Adult

I was in a very nice foster home for a few months, and here is what my foster mom has to say about me:

“Shoshi is a WONDERFUL cat. Very playful and vocal, not one bad habit. No furniture scratching. Very well-behaved. She is  very sweet and loving, not afraid of anything (she's not a scaredy-cat!) and loved my dog. They would often cuddle up together. No one was a stranger to this cat!  I can't think of one negative about Shoshi.  She is VERY smart too; she knows the word "no" really well. Certainly among the brightest cats I've ever had, if not the brightest!”


Lucy

Breed: DMH
Color: Black
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult

I get along with other cats, but I like to be the boss! I have a lot of pride and can kill a feather toy with the best of them! I would be a good cat for those experienced with spunky cats because you will need to understand my body language when I am ready to be Miss Independent. I have good litter box skills, and a great sense of humor. And if you couldn't already tell, I am soft, fluffy, and beautiful. I want to be treated like the queen of your abode!


Miss Sammy

Breed: DSH
Color: Calitabby
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult

 

I am a quiet girl that loves a window hammock in the sun. I am good with other cats and adore people. I will roll around on my back when you start to pet me; I can't control my excitement.




















 


Nutmeg

Breed: DSH
Color: Tortitabby
Sex:  Female
Age: Mature Adult; 9 years

I am a quiet lovely lady. I love to sit in laps and get petted for hours. I get along with other cats and love cozy, snuggly beds. I would like a more quiet home , but I still have a lot of life and love in me!


Scooter

Breed: DMH
Color: Brown Tabby
Sex:  Female
Age:
Kitten

I am a really neat kitty cat that will make you laugh. Yes, my expression is nearly always that wide-eyed and comical. I always think you are playing when you reach to pet me, and will playfully swat you. Some don't mind; but others do, so make sure you are ready to be my playmate if you take me home! If you have lots of feather wands and other interactive toys, we'll get along and have a fun-filled life together!








 


Mattie

Breed: DMH
Color: Tortie
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult


I love all toys and shiny objects. Even though I am playful, I am a mellow lover also. I have been caught loving on my boyfriend, Balen, with lots of kisses and grooming.


Siggy

Breed: DMH
Color: Tortie
Sex:  Female
Age:
Young Adult

Do you usually end up in the relationship with someone whom is hard to train, but just so lovable? That's me. I do fine with other cats, but I am slow to trust people. Once you have proven yourself to be worthy of my affection - you are my God/Goddess.


Chamberlain

Breed: DMH
Color: Gray Tabby &   White
Sex:  Male
Age: Adult

I am a very likable kitty cat. I even enjoy being picked up. I have a regal name but my personality isn't always so serious -- I'm quite laid back. I have a girlfriend too; her name is Tilley. We are soul mates, because when we met we didn't hiss or swat - we just cuddled.


Bosco

Breed: DSH
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Male
Age: Young Adult


I am full of personality and spunk! I often hear people ask around me, "Who is that cat?", and that's because I am always running through the halls or after a feather wand, making people shriek with delight. I can easily leap a person's height to catch toys and other objects of interest. I like other cats but have no problems occupying myself with anything I can bat around. You will enjoy me as your new family member if you like entertainment from your felines, plus pizazz to spare. And would you mind sharing your dinner with me? I love the smell and the taste of delicious meal fresh from the microwave, or sharing a bag of potato chips.

Chloe

Breed: DSH
Color: Calitabby
Sex:  Female
Age: Mature Adult

I am part of the office staff here at the APS adoption center, and if you've been here before, you've probably petted me a time or two. How about taking me home then, and stop toying with my emotions? Don't let my age be a distraction. My previous owner had to go overseas and thought the travel would not be good for me. I would love to find a home where I can sit on your lap and take a long nap. I love when people talk or sing to me. It makes me purr and give head butts. I really hate dogs I don't know, and am not afraid to show it. However, I have made peace with a few canine regulars around here, so I might be able to cope if necessary. As long as those darn dogs understand that I'm the real boss, and leave my calico tail (and the rest of me!) alone.

 


Squirrel Kit


Breed: Oriental Shorthair

Sex: Male
Age: Kitten

Simba

Breed: DSH
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Male
Age: Mature Adult

My first owner gave me up because I didn't want to hunt mice and kept on trying to come inside to get warm. At heart, I'm a gentle giant of a cat. If you adopt me,  I'd be a calm and peaceful presence in your home. I am also very inquisitive, as shown in my picture. I don't mind being picked up or held, and am happy to be a lap cat for hours. I do enjoy going outside to sunbathe, so an indoor-outdoor home in a rural setting would be fantastic for me.

Tennessee

Breed: DSH
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Male
Age: Adult


I'm so sweet and handsome but being black and white, folks just keep looking me over. If you happen to visit when I'm not taking a cat nap, I'll come right on up to say hello. Often I am out patrolling the parking lot because I enjoy greeting new people and being aware of the world around me. I have so much love to give the right family. Could it be you?
 


Cali (aka Meatball)

Breed: DSH
Color: Tortie
Sex:  Female
Age: Mature Adult; 8 years

Okay, okay, I need to lose some weight. I do have a lot to love and a lot of love to give. I adjust quickly to new situations, love all people, and get along wonderfully with other cats. I love to be brushed and am a super easy going girl!

Crimson

Breed: DLH
Color: Orange
Sex:  Male
Age: Adult



 


Maxx

Breed: DSH
Color: Black
Sex:  Male
Age: Adult

I would be a lucky guy to go home with you, and I will pay you back tenfold with my friendly nature and laid back ways. I don't mind being picked up and am really well behaved at the vet's office (the APS was impressed)! I also like children, I like to be there protectors if you have any, so don't mind me following that kid around! I just want a few pairs of legs to rub up against. Lately, I have shown interest in going outdoors and exploring. Perhaps an indoor/outdoor home would be the way to keep me entertained and fulfilled. I am maybe a dog in a cats body, because I also love water, and going on car rides!

 

Maureen

Breed: DSH
Color: Calitabby
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult

I'm satisfied with the basic things in life. A rug to lay on in the sun, a bowl of food and water, and a few head, cheek, and chin scratches; and I am content. I don't mind sharing these fine things with a cat friend either. I'm the quiet type and don't act too obnoxious when visitors come by like some of my feline counterparts. The way I see it, if someone takes the time to notice me --the polite girl in the corner-- than they're worth the time I've spent waiting for that special someone.

Goldie

Breed: DSH
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult

I love to be petted and held, and I'm not afraid to let you know it! You may notice I bear a striking resemblance to Shoshi and Wave. Well, they were my little babies when I first came here to the adoption center. I was still a kitten myself when they were born. We've all become affectionate kitties that love other cats and people too.



 

Bunny

Breed: Japanese Bobtail
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult


I'm alert & inquisitive, accepting loving from everyone. I do well with other cats, yet wouldn't mind being the soul 'Queen' of my new abode. I love watching TV and laying atop it trying to catch the critters on the screen. I will make you laugh and sigh with joy every single day.

Monty

Breed: DSH
Color: Black & White
Sex:  Male
Age:
Mature Adult

I'm dignified and retiring, just as an older gentleman should be. If you visit me, I’ll probably wait for you to make the first move. But don't take my aloofness as indifference. Once you decide to give me a pet or two, I'm grateful for the attention. I enjoy the company of other cats and am good with dogs.

Sadie

Breed: DMH
Color: Tortitabby
Sex:  Female
Age: 2 years

I am an affectionate cat that loves having my head rubbed, comes when called by name, likes one on one attention and just relaxing on living room couches as well. I likes to chase my own tail on occasion too! I would do best as an only pet, or perhaps with other cat savvy pets. My foster mom has had me since the beginning of summer  when I was nursing four baby kittens. Now I'm on my own and ready to be the center of attention. I have made a fabulous foster cat and would like someone to be my family forever!

Lena

Breed: DSH
Color: Calico
Sex:  Female
Age: Adult

I’m a relaxed and quiet observer who believes that a slow gentle pet from a visitor is the key to enjoying life. I would truly be a calming presence in my new owner’s life. My laidback attitude means that I get along quite well with my feline friends and would do well in a multi-cat household. I would do well with respectful dogs.
