6. Zoey and Ellie
Zoey and Ellie are CVRR alumni who are currently living with their owner. CVRR is listing these cats as a COURTESY to the actual owner. They are not currently in the care of CVRR, and CVRR makes no representations or guarantees for its behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed has been given by the cat's current owner and should be verified by any interested potential adopter.
Ellie and Zoey are sweet 8-year-old sisters who have spent their lives together, and we're hoping to find a special home where they can stay that way.
Although they're sisters, these two beautiful gray tabbies each have a personality all her own.
Read more about Zoey and Ellie
Ellie is the more outgoing of the pair. She's a short-haired, light gray tabby who enjoys attention and is usually the first to venture out and say hello once visitors arrive. She loves being petted—and she'll even roll over and invite you to rub her belly! Ellie is sweet, affectionate, and happy to soak up some love from her people.
Zoey is Ellie's long-haired sister, a gorgeous dark gray tabby with adorable white feet. She's the more cautious of the two and likes to take her time deciding that a new person is safe. She may hide when someone new arrives, but patience is the key to this sweet girl's heart. Once she's comfortable, Zoey enjoys being petted and brushed and has a gentle, loving nature.
Together, Ellie and Zoey enjoy a pretty peaceful lifestyle. They're indoor-only, litter trained, and perfectly content spending much of their day napping, with a little playtime sprinkled in. They've successfully lived with a dog in the past and can also do well with other cats who aren't aggressive.
Most importantly, Ellie and Zoey have been together since they were adopted through CVRR in 2018. After eight years side by side, we would very much like to find a home where these sisters can remain together.
For someone willing to give Zoey a little time to settle in, you'll get the best of both worlds: Ellie's welcoming sweetness and Zoey's quietly earned affection. And you'll have the joy of knowing that two sisters who have always had one another get to stay together for the next chapter of their lives.

7. Ash
Preciousand adorable boy who loves to give hugs! Thats Ash!! He loves all animals and just wants to be with you. He loves cats, dogs and children. He doesn't let the fact he only has one eye slow him down. He always wants to be with people (snuggling) or with his brother (Cinder). This cat's adoption fee is $75. Many cats do so much better in pairs, especially kittens, which is why we offer a reduced adoption fee of $25 for the second cat (or more!).

Dexter is the sweetest, gentlest boy with the loudest meow whenever he’s happy to see you.
Dexter is currently living with another cat and does great—he isn’t aggressive at all. His absolute favorite thing is getting his head and neck scratched. He loves it so much that he literally does somersaults because it feels that good!
This sweet guy is ready to find a loving home where he can share all his cuddles and adorable personality.

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
