We have an #adoptionupdate from Corina who adopted Potato in March 2025!
“We were not looking for a cat when we came to the shelter, we actually came to help my partner’s parents find a cat. But as cheesy as it sounds, Potato chose us.
“Potato is settling in very well. She spends her day sleeping on her heated blanket or napping between pillows on the bed. She has three siblings that she has quickly shown that she now runs this house by telling them with her raspy meow. Still at almost 17, she occasionally gets the Zoomies and it’s kind of scary how fast her little 7lb body can go. She spends the evenings sleeping on our chests.
“Everything is great! It’s been a little bit of a struggle to find a kidney food that she likes, as she loves her siblings’ food. But I think we finally found one. She uses the litter great and drinks lots of water. She also enjoys the occasional Wendy’s chicken nugget.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Annika who adopted Leonard (now Bean) in September 2016! They came to CCS looking for an orange cat, and they definitely found one!
“Bean quickly adjusted to being the younger sibling to our past cat, and now he is the older sibling to our 2 other cats!
“Bean is the most human-like cat you will ever meet! He is always talking to us and finding ways to get attention. He loves twisting and curling up in between our legs. He loves sleeping in the sock drawer, and he goes CRAZY for churu!
“Fun fact: If you quickly blow on him, he will circle himself, chirp, and eventually flop. Also, he has the most scratchy, high frequency squawk!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Tariana who adopted Grapefruit (now Billie) in August 2024 on our Clear the Shelter Day! Tariana and her partner came to CCS with an open mind and heart, though Billie had caught their eye on our website before they came in.
“She seems to absolutely love it here to the point of her calling the shots! She loves above the tail scratches and purrs on immediate contact. Sometimes she’ll start purring as soon as the door opens. We took her to the vet to get the rest of her shots. They brought her back holding and snuggling her then told us she was “perfect.” Clean bill of health and all the love from the vet techs!
“She has just been an absolute treat. We initially got her labeled as a “fearful cat” with special instructions on how to acclimate her to her new home. She had been with the cats that have kidney disease simply for the quiet room. It took her about three days of consistent hiding in her hidey home in her bathroom before creeping out and exploring ever so slightly. About 2 weeks in she was (timidly) crawling onto our laps and falling asleep on top of us/directly next to us. By a month, she was waiting at the door for when we got home from work and giving us sass for not immediately petting her. She’s become quite the diva, and we fully support a lifestyle that’s fit for one! It’s what she deserves.
“She is heavily food motivated and will eat absolutely anything that she sees her humans eating, we of course are mindful of what she cannot eat, but the things that are cat friendly we let her indulge in. She’s only 7.5 pounds despite her large appetite. If she’s not eating, then she is most definitely sleeping. Favorite spots include her hammock on her cat tree, a mini fluffy bed next to the couch so she can be close to us while she snoozes (her preference and our happiness).
“We have gotten Billie almost all the toys we were told cats love. She has found the most pleasure with dryer balls, a mini fuzzy green rat, and blueberries. She’s a pretty cheap date to be fair. She is also the chattiest little kitty I have ever met. Always talking to us and asking for pets. I told my partner on the way home from the shelter after she didn’t make a peep for the whole car ride that we must have had a non vocal kitty. She certainly showed us pretty quick that this was not the case for her. She loves scratching the sides of her cat home in our bedroom. She’s the most well behaved kitty—no messes, no scratches, no jumping on counters, and no chewing on things. Could not have asked for a better or cuter kitty girl. We are over the moon with Billie and feel extremely lucky to have such a love bug.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Jordana who adopted Cookie and Jelly this past July! They were looking for a senior cat to adopt, and as a bonus, they got two!
“They are the sweetest girls and we’re so happy to have them in our home. They both have settled in very nicely and we have created a daily routine to help provide extra support for our very senior gals. Keeping them together as a bonded pair was very important to everyone and their ability to acclimate together has really helped their personalities come out. They are both very sweet, chatty and love pets!
“As the oldest, Jelly definitely moves at a more relaxed pace but she’s still got that spark and loves spending time watching nature! She suns all day in her many beds, and enjoys getting fresh when their slider is open. Cookie is our goofy girl and has such a fun personality! She loves to be around people and get scratches, but her favorite is treat time and she lets you know! Her little meows and paw shakes are absolutely adorable and she gets us for treats every time!
“Despite their older age and health maintenance they are doing amazing and we’re so happy to have them in our family!”
We appreciate you adopting a bonded pair—it means so much to them!

We have an #adoptionupdate from David who adopted Pedro (changed to Snickers or Sir Snickerton) in October 2006! David wasn’t looking for a specific type of cat when he came into CCS.
“Snickers loved his new home. He would run, play fetch, even bring toys to you to play with him. And when not playing he was the best cuddle/lap cat.
“Snickers loved his home. He was never sick, and just an overall great cat. Didn’t shred the furniture, or have any bad habits. Would greet you at the door and jump in your arms. He always knew it was Xbox time from the ding and would come running to be a lap cat. His favorite toy was a straw of all things. His morning ritual included the required fresh tub water. He never did learn how to roll over when playing in the dirt, he always needed to stop, stand, and flip. He also figured out how to get under the table, but not back out. And he always had to be on the tallest thing in the room.
“He recently passed away at the age of 19 from a neurological issue affecting his legs, and ability to walk without falling over. He was the best and will be missed immensely.”
It sounds like Snickers led a wonderful life, and we appreciate hearing your update, David.

We have an #adoptionupdate from Mary who adopted Lady Dixon in December 2024! Mary wasn’t looking for a specific type of cat, just one that had been in the shelter for a longer period of time.
“She is adjusting well. I had been warned she is very food motivated and she did not disappoint. She is quick to come downstairs or wake up when she smells food. She is also quick to wake me up first thing in the morning to get her breakfast. This usually consists of pawing my face and gradually extending her paws if I’m not moving fast enough.
“She seemed low energy for a bit and her new vet confirmed she needed to be back on insulin. She is back to the friendly and social cat I first adopted.
“Dixon has slowly been getting comfortable with her new home. Once she started her insulin again she seemed a little more adventurous. I’m thankful to Cat Care Society for helping me meet Dixon.☺”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Mia who adopted Miss Kitty (now Cowgirl) this past July! They weren’t looking for a specific type of cat when they came into the shelter, just one that pulled at their heartstrings.
“She’s adjusting perfectly, we already have an older cat named Moose and they are getting along great!
“She’s been surprisingly eating a great amount lol she loves all kinds of toys and she’s super playful.
“Thank you for taking care of our girl before she had her forever home <3.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Terra who adopted Twinkle (now Gremlin) this past June! Terra had been looking online and saw some good candidates but chose Gremlin because of how friendly and affectionate he was.
“He has settled in amazingly, he loves his cat scratchers and loves to play fetch! It’s so funny to see him chasing after his Kong, if you ignore him and don’t throw it again he will bite your hand, so we are working on patience manners!

We have an #adoptionupdate from Sedona who adopted Arthur (now Finneas) this past June! Sedona came to the shelter looking for a long-haired cat and found Finneas waiting!
“Finneas loves to sleep, play and get allll the attention. His favorite toys are rope toys and balls with bells, he loves his scratchers and his cat tree. He’s quite the talker and is always yapping when he wants attention or food. He’s also quite the beggar and wants everything I’m eating.”
