Read more about Bonnie
Bonnie is truly a cat who needs someone willing to give her the time and patience to let her personality shine.This sweet girl is fairly low energy during the day, but she does have little bursts of energy throughout the night. While she is fine having certain people around, Bonnie especially loves having one special person to bond with and snuggle up with at night. With the right person by her side, she’ll be your most loving and devoted companion!Bonnie was rescued from the outdoors and has spent much of her life confined by a cage, so she is still learning what it means to feel safe and comfortable in a home environment. She currently lives comfortably with two adults and would thrive in a calm, quiet home where she has the space to build her confidence. She would thrive as the only cat in the home where she can have her special person all to herself to bond with. Because of this, Bonnie would also do best in a child-free home where she is the only animal. Bonnie does best when given a small, comfortable space to start and given the opportunity to expand into larger areas as she becomes more confident over time. Once she becomes familiar with her surroundings, her curious side begins to shine, and she enjoys exploring. With patience and time, Bonnie will continue to come out of her shell and enjoy everything her new home has to offer.More than anything, Bonnie would love to bond with a kind, patient human friend with lots of love to give! She will gladly reward your patience and love with affection of her own with time.

6. Blaze
Hi there! My name is Blaze, and I’m a handsome, fluffy, 11-year-old Creamsicle gentleman looking for a loving new home where I can spend my days relaxing, playing, and being close to my people. I may be a little older, but don’t let my age fool you. I have more energy than you might expect and still have plenty of playful spirit!I’m a big fan of knit balls, pointers, and hanging toys, and I especially enjoy batting away at my scratching post.When I’m not playing, you’ll probably find me lounging comfortably in my cat tree, keeping an eye on everything happening around me. But honestly, my favorite place is wherever my humans are.
Read more about Blaze
I’m happiest when I can be close to my people, and I absolutely love curling up on a human chest or shoulder for some quality cuddle time.Right now, I’m living with three other cats and a Labrador. I’m the newest member of the household, so I haven’t had tons of time to get to know new friends yet. I’ve had positive interactions with each of the cats, though, and I’m comfortable lounging around the dog. I think I’d enjoy having four-legged friends in my new home, especially gentle ones who might occasionally want to play with me.I do have hyperthyroidism, which is currently managed with methimazole given by mouth twice a day. My medication should keep my thyroid hormone levels in the normal range, and I’ll need a family who is committed to continuing my care. I’m very proud of my lustrous coat, and will need a bit of help keeping it free of mats with regular brushing. My dream home would give me plenty of room to roam, explore, nap, and play while also making sure I get lots of time with my people during the day (a work from home setup would be great!) and at night. I’m looking for a home where I can be part of the family and enjoy all the little things that make a cat happy. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, playful older guy with plenty of personality left to share, I might just be your man. I’m Blaze, and I’m ready to find my forever family! One last thing you should know about me: I’m very interested in food! I’m clever enough to help myself if food is left where I can reach it, so my new family will want to keep food safely stored in a closed container. Think of it as a small reminder that I’m still a curious guy who likes to keep life interesting!There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

These days, you'll usually find me curled up in a soft bed, soaking up a sunny window, or relaxing close to my favorite people.

I'm not shy about asking for a few extra pets, and every now and then I'll give you a gentle little head butt to remind you just how much I care. I'm not much of a chatterbox, but I have my own quiet ways of letting you know when I'd love a little attention.I do have one little request: please be patient with me. I'm naturally shy, and new people, unfamiliar sounds, or changes to my routine can make me feel a bit nervous. When that happens, I'll probably find a cozy hiding spot where I can watch everything from a safe distance. I like to take my time getting to know my surroundings and the people in them. But once I realize I'm safe, you'll see my sweet personality shine. The trust we build together will be worth every moment.I'm looking for a calm, understanding family that will let me settle in at my own pace. Give me a few cozy places to nap, lots of love, and the time I need, and I'll reward you with loyal companionship, quiet cuddles, and plenty of sweet moments together. If you're hoping to share your home with a gentle senior cat who appreciates life's quieter side, I just might be your perfect match.Right now, I'm living in a foster home where I'm free to explore at my own pace. There's a Labrador Retriever here, and while we don't spend much time together, I don't mind having him around. I also live with older teenagers and do well with them. I may also do well with respectful younger children who understand that I like my space sometimes. I've lived with both cats and dogs before, so with slow introductions, I may fit in nicely with other furry family members too.Could you be the patient, loving person I've been waiting for? I can't wait to meet you.There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.
