3. Teddy
Teddy is a very sweet and shy kitten, about 5 months old. He was in foster care with two younger kittens and they all got along, but they were very active and Teddy is not.
Teddy loves to sit at the window and watch and observe what’s going on outside. He does play with soft mice toys and balls. He likes to spend time near the adult cats in his foster home and is respectful of them. He ignores the dog.
Teddy is still unsure of his world at times but with patience and lots of nurturing he becomes braver and more sure of himself. At the end of the day he likes to stretch out beside a human and get in gentle rubs under his chin and on his cheeks.

Meet Gordon! The Handsome Gentleman Who Demands Your Love!
Hi there! My name is Gordon, and I’m an estimated 3-year-old big, handsome tomcat with the cheeks to prove it! I may look like a big tough guy, but underneath this rugged exterior is a total sweetheart who just wants to be loved.
I’m not the kind of guy who likes to be ignored, so if you’re walking by without stopping to give me some attention, don’t be surprised if I dive right in front of you! I love being petted, rubbing against my human’s legs, and soaking up as much affection as you’re willing to give. Why walk past me when you could be loving me instead?

I’m a sweet, affectionate guy who wants to be part of your world. I also get along just fine with other cats, so I could be a great addition to a home with feline friends.
If you’re looking for a big, lovable companion who will make sure you never forget how much he adores you, I might just be your guy!
I’m neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, vaccinated and microchipped, and I’m officially ready for my forever family.

Adopting a cat in Richland
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
