 Fiona  McGhee |
McGhee and Fiona (Fee)
DOB August 28, 2011 McGee is very loving and outgoing in his foster home. He is also very playful and full of adventure. The affectionate and adventurous side of him does not show up at adoption events because change and new places make him very nervous so he growls. McGee would be ok with other cats and dogs who are cat friendly and adults and older children.
Fiona (often called Fee) is sweet and gentle and playful.
She is able to adjust to change even if she does not approve of
the change. Fiona would do well with other cats and cat friendly
dogs but would prefer older children and adults.
McGee and Fiona would love to be adopted together. (Aliceanne)  |

OLIVER DOB June 2010 What a beautiful boy Oliver is! He is a 1 1/2 year old buff and white cat. He likes being petted and likes playing with toys. He gets along with other cats and he doesn't mind the dogs, as long as they aren't always chasing him. This little guy was adopted as a kitten and returned to us recently due to his owner developing allergies. Do you have room in your heart and home for this friendly boy? (Mary Ann) |
  |
MAYFLOWER and her son PILGRIM DOB 2006
Mayflower and her son Pilgrim are both very sweet and
sociable. Mayflower has been a great mom and takes very good care of her
one and only baby. They are very attached to each other and it would be
wonderful if someone would find it in their hearts to adopt this mother
and son pair. (Linda) |

CARA
DOB: April
2009
Cara is currently in a foster home with other cats. She enjoys the company
of other calm animals, but would probably be just as happy as an only cat.
She is not the most active cat, but she loves chasing a laser pointer.
Cara’s ideal home would be quiet and she would like nothing more than to
be someone’s lap cat. Do you think that you could provide Cara with a
loving forever home? (Christina) |

CHELSEA
DOB June 2011
Chelsea came in with Hannah, Jack and their mother Emma).
She is a very well behaved and beautiful kitty and gets along great with
all her foster siblings. Chelsea will need to go to a home with someone
who has lots of patience and love as she is not quite sure who she can
trust yet. She's a little jumpy as she gets to know you, but as she learns
she can trust you, she will slowly start showing you a little more
attention. Belly rubs are a good way to win her over. (Amy) |
 Hannah  Jack |
HANNAH and JACK DOB June 2011
Jack (the red tabby) and Hannah (the torti) came in with
their mother (Emma), who looks identical to Hannah and is about 1 year old
and is also available for adoption. They are both very friendly, love to
play, and they are so full of energy they rarely sit still. Hannah
immediately wants your attention, rubbing on you, purring, crawling in
your lap. Jack needs a little extra time to learn he can trust you, but
once he realizes he can, he too loves to be petted and loved on. Hannah is
probably more of a lap cat than Jack is but they both will curl up in bed
with you at night to keep you toasty warm. They love to keep each other
company and play together, so they would love to be adopted together. But
they are also available to be adopted by themselves. (Amy)

MARA DOB March 2008
Mara would love a quiet home because she really gets upset when there
is a lot of noise especially loud noises from children and dogs. She
is ok with cats but not too many of them. Although she enjoys human
company she really would prefer that people not pick her up. Mara is a
very sweet girl with a little spice and she would love to find a home
that would appreciate that combination.

BABYDOLL DOB 2006 BabyDoll is approx 5 years old and pure love! She loves to be held like a baby, cuddled in your lap, or just looking out the window. She's pretty mellow, but still talks for her breakfast and follows you around. She is scared of cats and dogs-they seem to know this and pick on her-so she needs to be an only cat. She was originally found as a stray by an older couple. They took good care of her but could not bring her into their house because of their very territorial cat. The wife became ill and on her deathbed asked her husband to promise her he would find a good home for BabyDoll so that she would always be taken care of. She passed away and the husband continued to care for BabyDoll, but he had to leave town for a few months. So he called Pet Refuge and we want to help him keep his promise to his wife by finding BabyDoll her purrfect forever home! She is fine with older children, prefers a calmer environment, and would be the perfect constant companion offering loads of love! (Amber) |

children 5 years +, small dogs, and other cats. Gabe is involved in every
family activity.

(with lots of treats). (Athena) |

Snow Tiger is a gentle giant. He likes to lay around and take in the
scenery. And he was giving us all kinds of funny poses and facial
expressions for his photo shoot. When he wants attention he will find
you. He would do well around other cats or dogs. Older children would
be best. (Bonka)

eyes. She would do well with older children. (Bonka)

 Malibu (left) & Daisy (right)  Daisy cuddling with one of her kittens  Malibu  Daisy |
DAISY and MALIBU DOB 2010
Both Daisy and Malibu are about 1 year old. Daisy found her foster home in
March 2011 along with her 5 newborn kittens (who have all been adopted).
Malibu found her foster home in May 2011 along with her sister who has
been adopted.
Daisy is friendly and affectionate. She’ll lie on your
lap and loves to be petted. She would like a quiet environment to be able
to rest and relax in the sun. She also prefers to be the top cat.
Malibu is very well behaved and gets along great with
other cats. However, something traumatic must have happened to her before
she found her way into her foster home. She’s not quite reassured just yet
that she can trust people but she is slowly learning.
She would need someone with a lot
of patience and understanding to accept her the way she is.
|
 |
TOBY DOB May 2008 This big, beautiful Maine Coon mix might be a bit shy when he first meets you, but he warms up quickly to people. Once he knows you, he is very sweet and loves attention. Toby does well with other cats and loves to play. (Linda) |
 |
MISSY DOB June 2006 Missy is a very sweet grey tabby who likes to play with her toys. She get along very well with other cats and small dogs. (Linda)  |
 |
CHUCK DOB January 2011
My name
is "Chuck". I am a Buff colored Tabby. I was rescued in very
poor physical condition.
I just
hate going to adoption events at Petsmart and Pet Refuge. Loud
noises and people poking their fingers through the cage scare me so bad
that I growl and will bite if continuously annoyed. However, I would
like to emphasize that I do not display this negative attitude when at
home in my foster care. I am curious, playful and often too smart for my
own good. I would very much like you to call my foster Mom and make
arrangements to come and see me. I will do my best to prove to you that I
am worthy to share your home with me. As an added point, somewhere
in my ancestry, I have Siamese in my bloodline with large pointed ears and
sharp facial features. I am anxiously waiting to meet you..........
(Judy) |
  |
MELVIN DOB March 2010 Melvin is a beautiful Lynx Point Siamese who likes to roll around on the floor and flirt with people. Melvin is a happy, healthy cat these days, but when he was little, his chest didn't develop properly. He still doesn't like to be picked up and carried around much, but he will gladly sit in your lap to cuddle. He gets along well with other cats and doesn't mind dogs at all, but he should go to a home without small children. (Kim) |
 Veronica  Vanessa  |
VERONICA and VANESSA
Veronica and Vanessa were left outside of Pet Refuge in a box with 5 other
cats. We believe that they are sisters. Both of them are still kittens –
they are very playful and active and even though they are clearly attached
to each other, they also like other cats in general.
Veronica
(the dilute tortie) is still a bit more shy than her sister, but with the
right person and some patience, she will hopefully forget about her
traumatic past and continue to improve. Vanessa (the brown tabby) looks like a Maine Coon mix. She is more outgoing than her sister Veronica, but can be a little timid when meeting new people.
|
 |
XANDER
When you meet Xander now, it’ll be difficult to believe that he was found
as a starving stray just a few months ago. Since then, Xander has made an
amazing turnaround and he has blossomed into a big, handsome cat with a
shiny black medium-length coat. Xander is very sweet and playful and
clearly likes to be around people. However, he tends to be fairly dominant
around other adult cats. He would probably do best in a home without other cats,
but he might also do well with a laid-back female... or, as we recently
learned, a kitten. (Linda)

PYEWACKET
DOB April 2005
Pyewacket is
a long-haired Lynx Point Siamese. He is very social and does well around
other cats and small dogs. But, most of all, Pyewacket loves people! He is
very sweet, loves to cuddle with his foster mom and sleeps at her side
every night in bed. Unfortunately, he is not too crazy about going to
adoption events and does not show well. |
 |
DELILAH
This
beautiful girl is a Lilac Tabby. Delilah came to Pet Refuge with 3 of her
kittens and now that they have been adopted, she is ready for a home of
her own. Delilah’s ideal home would be quiet and without small children.
Delilah has done well around small, gentle dogs, but she is petrified of
large dogs after having been attacked by one. (Linda) |
 |
SANDY
DOB May 2008
This gorgeous Maine Coon mix has long, silky hair and enjoys getting all
of the attention. Sandy would probably do best as an only cat in a quiet
home with no children. She would much rather be the center of attention
and not share with anyone else. And she is not shy to show her affection
and will climb into your lap and follow you around – but she’ll also
tell you when she’s done getting petted. (Rox) |
 |
PEPE DOB April 27, 2010 Pepe was found by a Jimmy John's delivery driver who was kind enough to pull over when he noticed a cardboard box in the middle of the road. Imagine his surprise when he found a litter of tiny kittens in the box. Despite being abandoned at such a young age, Pepe is a sweet, well-adjusted little kitten who loves to play with his brother Hunter and his other foster siblings. He also enjoys sleeping cuddled up to his foster mom. (Linda) |
   |
ANDREW
DOB November 2009
Andrew has quite the story to tell – and he really wishes that someone
would have listened to him right when he arrived at Pet Refuge. Andrew was
left in box with 4 kittens outside our shelter. Without ever thinking
twice about it, we assumed that Andrew was the mother cat to those kittens
and we set them up in a cage at the shelter. The kittens immediately tried
to nurse on Andrew and everyone seemed comfortable. However, after moving
into a foster home, his foster mom started to notice that Andrew didn’t
seem very motherly and was trying to spend more and more time away from
the babies. Since they were old enough to be weaned, she brought “the mom”
to the vet to get “spayed.” Imagine her surprise when the vet called to
let her know that, after shaving “Aurora’s” belly, they realized that this
was not the mother cat after all – but that he was probably the dad. No
wonder he was tired of babies of trying to nurse on him. He was trying to
tell us all along that he is not their mommy.
Despite all of this, Andrew is a very sweet cat who
loves people. He can be somewhat quiet and reserved at first, but he would
blossom in a nice home. And he sure doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.
(Linda)

"DOBERMAN" DOBIE ROSE When Doberman first came into Pet Refuge, her foster mom thought that this pretty girl needed a new, pretty name for a new beginning - and she was renamed Dobie Rose. Dobie Rose has a very unusual smoky grey fur with white tuxedo markings. She is still settling into her foster home but she is starting to enjoy human attention and her once skinny body is filling out very nicely. (Linda)  |
 |
Dublin
DOB April 2009
Poor Dublin was abandoned in a box when he was just a little kitten. To
make matters worse, he was injured when a volunteer found him. Our vet
determined that his leg had been pulled so hard that all off the nerves
were damaged and Dublin would never be able to gain full use of it.
Dublin thus had his leg amputated as a kitten. However, he has no
problems getting around and climbing up on his favorite cat trees. He is
a sweet kitty that enjoys human attention and doesn’t mind other cats.
To make his life perfect, Dublin just needs a home of his own! (Rox) |
 |
Little Miss Muffet
DOB March 2010
Little Miss Muffet is a sweet girl that knows what she wants. She
will come up to me in the evening and walk around on me and sit and
look at me until I follow her upstairs and fill the kitten food dish
for her. She is a typical kitten that loves to run and play and
chase anything that moves. She also loves to snuggle once she winds
down. (Dawn)
|
 |
Raven DOB 2007
Raven came in with a litter of kittens from a hoarding situation.
She was very skinny and her hair was very thin. Her kittens were all
adopted and now she is looking for her forever home. Raven has
filled out and she has a very thick, fluffy coat. She loves to play
with balls. She is very sweet and loves to be stroked and have her
chin rubbed. She is a little shy around multiple cats but should be
very comfortable in a quiet "only cat" home or one with only one or
two other cats. (Dawn)

LAYLA
DOB December 2009 Layla is a classic brown tabby and she is cute as a button! When Layla first made it into Pet Refuge in February of 2010, she was unsure of people and was hiding for a few days. Layla has come a long ways in her foster home. She loves her playtime, especially her squeaky mouse and feathery toys. She is also enjoying the company of other cats and kittens and will need an active playmate in her new home! Yet while Layla is doing well around people she knows and trusts, she is still shy around strangers. She will need a quiet home that will give her time to adjust and allow her to meet her new family at her own speed. (Christina) |

NOLAN
DOB April
2009
Zoom-zoom-zoom!
This fun cat is a little race car. He's always on the go, always on
another adventure, and always entertaining. |
  |
NIKI
DOB December 2008
This Beauty doesn't miss a thing!
Actually, it may be more accurate to say Niki doesn't miss a person!
Ever! If she sees someone coming to visit, she likes to be one of the
first cats to greet that person. After all, this little opinionated
spunky girl doesn't see why she should be the second one to get petted,
when she could be the first!
Niki loves balls but mostly, she loves people. When she first meets you,
she may seem like she's playing hard to get because she'll sniff you as
if to say, "I'm just checking to see if you're worthy of me." But don't
worry; it will turn out that you ARE worthy of her, and then she can't
get enough attention. She's not a lap cat, but she loves to be
petted and will lie beside you. Yep, Niki thinks a home with a couple of
people and maybe a couple of other cats just like her would be paradise!
Maybe you could take her to your paradise? |
 |
MUSIC DOB August 2008
Music is such a beautifully colored Tortie! She loves sitting on your
lap and purring for you. Sometimes she can be a little hand-shy when you
go to pet her but she is getting better at allowing you to pet her. She
gets along well with other friendly cats and doesn't seem to mind the
dogs in her foster home. Music gets very stressed when attending
adoption events so if you would like to meet her, let us know and her
foster mom can contact you. Music would be your best friend if you allow
her the time to get to know you. (Mary Ann) |
 |
TOASTY DOB 2006 Toasty is a cute DSH black and white female that was found in an empty apartment with her three babies (Pancake on the buddy cat page is one of her now grown kittens). She is very curious and playful and likes to be petted. She would do best in a quieter home as she prefers to avoid a lot of activity. Toasty would do well as an only cat being the center of attention. (R&B) |
 |
MEI QUI DOB April 2008 Mei Qui is an adorable DSH brown tabby and white female. She loves to be held and if you are not petting her when she wants to be petted, she will keep nudging your hand with her nose until you get the hint. She likes to pick things up and carry around her "treasures". She loves her head rubbed. Her name means "ROSE" in Chinese. (R&B) |
 |
BABY CHOO
DOB May 2005
Baby Choo is a DSH white & black male. Baby Choo is
a very active and nosy young man. He likes to be into everything. He is
not big on being picked up and held, but he loves to be petted and will
let you know when he wants to be loved on. He does well with other cats
(after a short adjustment period) and enjoys running around the house
playing chase games with them. Baby Choo is current on all of his
vaccines, neutered and micro-chipped.
**UPDATE**
Choo WAS adopted by a loving family recently but
was, unfortunately, returned due to being too active and playful for the
older cats already in the household. The older cats developed behavioral
issues due to his presence so the family reluctantly had to bring him
back. Baby Choo will need a home with other active and playful
cats or else to be an only cat in the home. (R&B) |
 |
BONZAI DOB April 2007 Bonzai is a sweet, Domestic Medium Hair Brown Tabby & White female. She is very petite and looks to have some Maine Coon mixed in her as she has the fluffy tail and prominent ear and paw tufts of hair. Her favorite thing is to jump up onto the sink and drink from the faucet. She loves playing in the water. Since she has a dominant personality, she would prefer to be an only cat, but would do ok in a house with one or two others. She is sweet and playful. Not big on being picked up and held, but likes to be petted. (R&B) |
|
|
SUSHI
DOB March 2005
Sushi is a
sweet dsh grey female. She enjoys being petted and playing with toys on
strings. Sushi also gets along well with other cats. She is a bit shy in
new surroundings and around new people, but once she gets used
to things, she is a very happy girl. She loves canned food and napping
in the sun. Sushi is spayed, current on her vaccinations and
micro-chipped. (R&B) |
 |
BOBBIE DOB 2007 Isn't Bobbie a
fluffy-eared cutie-pie? This nice little brown tabby has medium
length, silky fur. She is playful, has a very sweet personality,
and gets along well with other cats. LG

LEVI
DOB
January 2004
This handsome DSH black male was rescued from a house fire. Levi loves everyone and does great with other cats. His best friend is Frisco (see the Buddy Cat Page for Frisco) and they can often be seen leaning on each other while they walk together (why not adopt a pair?) He does great with children too! Levi is the perfect combination of being both affectionate and playful. He would be happiest in a home where he can get plenty of love, preferably with another feline friend to keep him company while you are gone. (Angela) |
