We have an #adoptionupdate from Adara who adopted Cindy Lou in March 2026. Adara came to CCS looking for a boy cat since they had heard they were more affectionate; however, that stigma was proven false with Cindy Lou who was so sweet right away.
“She has adjusted great. I’m still in the beginning period where she is just in my room for now and in a week I plan to introduce her to a new room. She’s been very confident and playful. She also loves to snuggle at night which has been very nice.
“She tends to go crazy at night sometimes so I’ve learned to put some of her louder toys away. She has slowly been switching to a new food that she really seems to be liking. Her favorite toy so far is a wand that has changeable attachments. She has a butterfly and a fish that she loves.
“I’m glad to have her in my home. She’s turned out to be very friendly to new people and I’m glad that she’s finally in a giant space where she can feel confident and happy.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Carolina who adopted Chopin (now Chippy) in August 2024. Carolina wasn’t looking for any particular type of cat. When they were at the CCS, they were told Chippy was super shy but he came right up and was friendly, so they knew he was meant to be theirs!
“Chippy was brought into a very large family and initially was very quiet (like when we found him at CCS), but it didn’t take long for his confidence and comfortability to grow! He loves to window watch, take naps and climb on high surfaces and even though he is still quieter than most cats he is much more vocal now!
“Chippy has adapted well to his dog sibling Casey and they love napping together. He loves baskets and bags, string toys and making biscuits and loaves everywhere!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Amanda who adopted Buffy (now Miego) in January 2026. Amanda came to the shelter looking for a younger female all black cat.
“She’s named after Mie Goreng which is a sweet and spicy Indonesian noodle dish, and she’s also super sweet and spicy.
“Miego has been doing great. She came to live with 2 other older cats (they will be 10 and 11 this year), and has been hesitant to explore the greater house because of that, but she is very relaxed and spending lots of time purring and playing (with us, and sometimes the other cats!).
“She is for the most part healthy, is eating and using the litter box regularly, likes to nap during the day and run around like crazy at night, seems to really love tiny mouse toys, and loves her little cardboard box house that we made for her. Regarding her health, it is looking like she might have a heart arrhythmia, so we will be seeing a cardiologist in about a month and a half or so to get to the bottom of it.
“We are smitten with her!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Tiffany who adopted Uncle (now Shadow Rumble Tum Zagyi, First of His Name, Heir to the Throne) in November 2025. Tiffany came to the shelter looking for an older female tabby but then stumbled across Shadow and immediately placed an adoption hold him for the next day.
“Shadow has adjusted really well to our home and quickly became the absolute ruler of his kingdom.
“Shadow sleeps in the bed with us at night, wakes me up for breakfast, and enjoys a good belly rub and tumble/play (we allow bunny kicks and small nibbles) before I go to work. He uses the litter box like a pro, and he’s been eating well.
“Shadow is a chatty, funny boy that zooms around the house, but comes for snuggles and a quick nap before taking off again. He can usually be found in my husband’s office, watching the birds and squirrels from the desk. While he prefers the carpeted stairs to the scratch pads we’ve bought, there have been no other behavioral problems.
“We’re more than grateful to Cat Care Society for taking such good care of our boy. He’s happy, healthy, and the purrfect (yes, I did that) addition to our tiny family ❤.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Alayna who adopted Pippa in September 2025. While at the shelter, Pippa was part of our Lonely Hearts Club—a group of cats our staff believes need extra help finding their forever homes. These cats may be older, less eye-catching, have specific medical needs, or have simply been overlooked. Despite their challenges, we know they have so much love to give, and Pippa is the perfect example of that!
“Pippa has been the best girl!! She loves taking naps in odd positions, hanging in her hammock, and watching the world from the catio. She still attacks the heck out of some wand toys and goes feral for a Churu. Cat TV is one of her favorite things and I’m not sure the paw prints all over the screen are ever coming off haha.
“She loves to snuggle between my legs (as close as she can without actually laying on me lol) and has quite the purr. Got her to wear a cowgirl hat for Halloween which she was NOT thrilled about lol. She’s also quite the ice cream thief if you’re not paying attention (learned that the hard way).
“Love, love, love her :))”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Lauren who adopted Biggy (now Bo) this past January!
“My partner and I were looking for a younger, more adaptable and easy-going male cat to join our family. We have one other cat at home and she’s quite the diva, so we wanted the next cat we welcomed into our family to be unbothered by her attitude and quiet nature — just wanting to play and enjoy life. We’re also hoping his spunky energy will help keep her young. When I met Biggy/Bo at the shelter for the first time, I knew he was seriously the perfect fit.
“He loves being at home! He follows us around and happily “helps” us do everything — sweeping the floors, rummaging through the fridge for dinner ingredients and everything in between. He is so playful and has the zoomies often. We got him a tunnel he loves to plow through and surprise attack his toys/one of us. He is also very vocal so the bathroom is one of his favorite spots where he can listen to the echo of his meows which is so funny and cute. He and his sister still aren’t completely introduced to one another yet — they are separated by a gate in our big hallway, but have had a few positive interactions as of late. We knew it would take some time with our diva girl to warm up to such a rambunctious little guy, so we’re taking it super slow.
“Bo’s favorite toy is his fish toy on a stick string that he’ll bring over to us to wave around the living room. I purchased it the first day I brought him home, so he’s had it since then. He also loves his red panda stuffed animal…it makes a crinkling noise that he finds intriguing. We’ve brought him to the vet twice now for a first time check up and to follow up on some loose stools he had been having in the shelter that persisted for a little while, but everything is resolved now after some probiotics and slow transition to kitten food!
“Bo is so wonderful and fun, he is my best friend. Thank you for providing me with such a great companion. Our little family is perfect!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Ellen who adopted Nova in November 2025. Ellen was looking for an older female cat and as soon as she saw Nova’s profile on the website, she fell in love. Ellen says she would have even adopted Nova without even meeting her!
“Nova has adjusted well. Nova and my other two cats tolerate each other, but are not friends yet. Two weeks after adopting nova we had to move into my father‘s house for the last three weeks of his life. There she has really thrived. Surprisingly she gets along great with my father‘s two miniature schnauzers. They actively play together.
“Nova eats like a champ. Occasionally, she will still have an accident, but she’s an old lady so she always gets a pass. Nova has become the queen of the bedroom and everyone has to pass by her to get onto the bed. She tucks herself in under the blankets at night. And will come and snuggle by my face. Surprisingly, she loves to play with the dog toys. She loves to chirp at anything outside the window and chasing feathers in the air is her favorite activity.
“Nova was so amazing with my father, the last three weeks of his life. She was still new to the family and was not very affectionate. She slept with my father every night and would love all on him and let him pet her. The day before he passed, she stayed right by him. It brought my dad so much joy and comfort in the end. I cannot imagine not having her in my life.”
While at the shelter, Nova was part of our Lonely Hearts Club—a group of cats our staff believes need extra help finding their forever homes. These cats may be older, less eye-catching, have specific medical needs, or have simply been overlooked. Despite their challenges, we know they have so much love to give, and Nova is the perfect example of that! Thank you, Ellen, for recognizing how special Nova is!

We have an #adoptionupdate from Jeanne who adopted Pippa in December 2022. Jeanne saw Pippa’s photo on Instagram as a part of our Foster Friday posts—she had been in foster care for two years.
“Pippa has adjusted very well to her new home. Pippa was very shy initially. In fact, she was described as somewhat “feral.” It took about a year and a half before she finally revealed herself to be a lap kitty. Now she likes warm cozy bagel beds, laps, snacks and watching squirrels.
“We hope Pippa’s story encourages people to take a chance on shy kitties. She’s turned out to be a little love bug who still drools when she gets brushed and scratched under the chin. It’s been a joy to watch her “come out of her shell” and be willing to show her affection to her people.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Molly who adopted Scampie (now Radar) in October 2025.
“The day I came to the shelter I was just there to play with the kitties and kill some time. I had been looking at adopting a senior cat for awhile, but something about this kitten stole my heart – so I decided to put a hold on him, think about it for a day, and make sure I wasn’t making a rush decision. Mostly surprised I ended up with a kitten when I had initially had my eyes on older cats.
“Radar has adjusted well and quickly to his new home. Initially, I was a bit concerned about how my other 2 cats would react – but there really haven’t been any issues. He is using the litter box without issues, eating well, and always wants to snuggle.
“He is very playful and particularly likes these cloth multi colored balls that he can carry all over the house. He also seems to enjoy playing with the simple things (string, boxes, paper bags) more than fancy toys we bought. Radar plays well with one of our other cats (Moochie), and they like to chase each other upstairs and downstairs. His health is good, his appetite is endless, and he seems to be fascinated every time we open the dishwasher because he tries to jump in.”
