With the start of a bright, shiny, new year, we thought it was best to start it off with featuring some of our brightest colored kitties looking for their forever home.
Sugar and Spice are two sisters that came to us as kittens. Originally, they were to be spayed and sent to a barn to live an outdoor life as barn cats, but Carol realized that they were sweet and friendly…perfect for the adoption program! They found a home quickly, but their new owners realized that they just weren’t ready to be pet owners right then. They came back to Carol’s Ferals because we stand behind our cats if they need a place to go, but we put them in foster because they needed a little more socialization. Sooner after, they returned to the facility so they could get the exposure to adopters that they needed. All the juggling from home to home made life difficult for these two girls and they had problems adjusting at first. Now the two girls have had time to relax, their personalities shine as bright as their golden eyes. 
Sugar is a true cuddle-bug and one of the most people-needy cats we have. She adores being held and will put her paws on your shoulders, her face against your neck, and will purr like crazy the entire time. If you let her, she will also perch on your shoulders whether you are sitting or walking around the adult cat room. Sugar is not very fond of others cats, including her sister, and would do best in a home with only no cats or 1 laid-back cat and no small children (under the age of five). A quieter home is ideal for her. Spice is less needy in terms of wanting to be held, but she still comes up for pets and lap-time whenever possible. Her favorite thing is a laser pointer or a string wand toy; she will bounce off the walls for it! Spice gets along fine with other cats and will even sit down and groom them whether they like it or not! She should be okay with small children and would be a great addition to a semi-busy household.
Oliver, one of our newest cats, came to us through our weekly TNR openings. He came in to be neutered and returned outside, but this gorgeous red-orange tabby boy purred himself right into Carol’s heart and, unsurprisingly, into the adoption program. We’re still learning a bit about his personality but he’s already proven to be very friendly to people. Other cats don’t seem to bother him much and even with the noise that comes along with adoption days, he stays out and about to watch. He is not a super-needy cat but doesn’t mind being pet and brushed. Sometimes he’ll even talk to you once he gets to know you. We’d think he’d be great with just about any home situation and should ease into new home life without too much of a problem.
Willard is one of Carol’s personal saves. He hung around the home of one of Carol’s friends for several days before she was able to meet him personally. The poor guy was scrawny, flea-ridden, dirty, and absolutely starving. Luckily for him, he was also extremely friendly and let Carol pick him up. Carol immediately brought him to the facility and got him started on fast-track to good health. Willard has proved to be a laid-back, low-maintenance cat; give him a soft bed to lay in so he can look out a window and he’ll be content. He is very tolerant of physical contact from kids of all ages and doesn’t mind other cats so much. A busy house should be no problem for him.
Last, but not least is Wayne. This boy was rescued from outside of a restaurant called Mangiamo where the traffic was a real danger. After several days of dumpster-diving, Kolene rescued him and brought him in to us. At first, we weren’t sure if he was going to work out as an adoptable cat because he was scared and people-shy, but he’s come out of his shell and have actually turned out to love attention. He’s not big on being picked up and carried around, but if you have a seat and let him come to you, he’ll be happy to warm your lap. Otherwise it’s not uncommon to see him tailing people as they wander through the adult cat room, hoping you’ll look down and see him begging for some attention. We think Wayne would be best in a no cat or single cat household with no small children.

Adoption fees are $75 for one cat or $100 for a pair. This helps offset our costs which include: spay/neuter, first round of shots, flea treatment, deworming, and negative test results for feline leukemia and FIV. Our adoption contract specifies all adoptables are to be indoor-only cats and are not to be declawed.
