It's Caturday! Meet Patchwork and Grayson

On this Caturday meet two wonderful felines that will make great companions.

Meet Grayson, a handsome gray male with four white paws born around June 18, 2011. He currently lives at the adoption center with lots of kitty roommates. Grayson loves being petted and gets along great with other cats too. He enjoys taking long naps after chasing his toy mice. He's a very sweet kitty who's been patiently waiting for a new home and would make a great addition to yours.

Meet Patchwork, a beautiful female calico born around December 16, 2010. Patchwork currently lives at the adoption center where she shares a room with three male cats that can get a bit rowdy. Usually she takes that as a cue and finds a quiet place to curl up and sleep. She is such a sweet girl and loves to be petted and is patiently waiting for her forever home.

Did you know at any given time roughly 70 percent of all the animals in our program are in foster homes? That is an incredible number made possible by people who care passionately about animals and believe in the NO KILL mission.

We work very hard to make fostering a positive experience for anyone willing to provide temporary care for one more animal. We accommodate special circumstances such as vacation-coverage, switch-out for unsuitable matches, short-term-only restrictions, breed-specific preferences and even "low-shed” or "housetrained-only" requests. We have dedicated Dog and Cat Foster Program Coordinators who are available even for late night emergency phone calls from foster parents. Read here for more details about fostering with us.
