1. Gary

Young · Male · Tuxedo / Maine Coon / Mixed (medium coat)

I'm a six month old medium haired boy who started out trapped behind a wall for three days in a campground laundry room! I was rescued by a guy who was seeing the world in his RV. We had many adventures until medical problems forced him to give me up. I'm a cuddly boy who loves playing with feather toys. I'm now charming everyone at North Cascade Vet Hospital where I plan to rule the lobby - stop by and see me, I bet you won't be able to leave without me!

2. Jesse

Adult · Male · Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat)

I’m Jesse a big handsome tuxedo boy. I’m seven years old and I have a lot of stories to tell. My first family moved away and left me behind. Then some kind neighbors adopted me since I’m so lovable. Fast forward six years and THEY moved across the country and had to leave me here! Seems like the van driver didn’t want to listen to my commentary all the way to Illinois. Ok, I am pretty vocal I’ll admit. Maybe there’s some Siamese in my family tree, who knows? I’ve got a lot to say but I’ve heard some people find it charming. If that’s you, get me out of here! I’m lonely. But only for people, I’m not a fan of cats. I’m all the cat you need!

3. Buttercup & Jet

Adult · Female · Bobtail / Calico / Mixed (short coat)

We are four year old sisters who are one half Kurilian Bobtail. That was our dad, and mom was a calico house-cat. Our foster mom had never even heard of that breed until today! She googled it. I’m Jet (Black) and I’m the one who loves to be held and packed around while Buttercup (Calico) takes more time to decide if she should trust you. She calls it being discerning. We are both litter box trained and easy to have around. We have bob tails and beautiful markings. We’ve always been together but might consider going solo for the right home.

4. Skye

2 Years · Female · Russian Blue / Mixed

Russian Blue Alert!

Say Hello to Skye, our 2 year old Russian Blue Mix!

Skye is a little more reserved than her sister, Molly and wants to make sure you're trustworthy before she allows you to bask in all her glory. She isn't above a little Churru bribery though. Like her sister, she does enjoy those full body pets. Once you've won this girl over, she's all yours.

Skye is looking for a quiet, patient home that can let her get comfortable and show off that amazing personality on her own terms. She also is fine with hanging out at home while her person is at work, but would prefer there to be a cat tree or shelves that she can claim as her own.

5. Poppy

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Female · American Shorthair / Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat)

Got an extra cat bed and a big heart? I'm looking for a patient, loving person who will give me the time I need to blossom. I was rescued from under a house with my five kittens, and its been quite a journey. My foster mom says I'm the gentlest cat she's ever known — I would never bite or swat. For most of my nearly two years, I didn't know people could be a source of love and comfort. I was a devoted mom who always let my babies eat first and kept them safe when things got scary. Then something wonderful happened: I discovered pets, purring, and even laps! Im still learning, and I sometimes hide when I feel unsure, but Im doing it less and less. More and more, Im coming out to watch the household action and even join in.

I love being around other cats and don't mind dogs. Im a litter-box pro and, best of all, I've decided I never want to live outside again. I'm ready to become the soft, spoiled housecat I was meant to be. I just need someone who believes in me and will be patient while I learn how wonderful life can be. Maybe you're my special someone?
