"I first came to the shelter just before Christmas of last year and fell in love with Joy (fka Mamacita). She purred when I picked her up and followed me around while I was visiting with the other cats. Fast forward to January and I found myself at the shelter again looking for a friend for Joy. Cassie (fka Mama Cass) was a new arrival, and once again it was love at first sight. The introduction period was a bit tricky, but with the help of Cat Welfare, my girls are now best friends. They play, sleep, and hang with each other all day long. Coming home to find my girls waiting for me by the door and the unconditional love they provide is truly priceless."

"We adopted Slider (formerly Clint) in spring of 2016. He was the last of his siblings left and the only kitten to cry out at us when we walked in the room! He was a tiny little runt of a kitty and now he is quite a big boy! I am a big Cleveland Indians fan, so I named him after their mascot. His favorite activity is kneading our older cat, Oliver’s, belly. A little less than a year later we found Pilot who, upon his cage being opened, immediately climbed out onto Brian’s shoulder. It was love at first sight! He is still a climber and a cuddler who absolutely loves to be held. We kept his very fitting name (he was found at the airport); I thought it was especially cute because my dad is a pilot! Thank you, Cat Welfare, for these boys who bring us so much joy!

"I adopted Scarlett January 5th 2018. To help her settle in I gave her a space in the guest room. After an hour she was out exploring the house! Scarlett loves to cuddle and even sleeps with me at night. In fact, if I don't go to bed at a regular time she gets feisty! Scarlett enjoys napping, looking out the window, climbing and batting around my cell phone charging cord. My house is now a home because of her loving and playful spirit! I'm so glad we have each other!

"Without Nelson, our house would not be a home. He is such an amazing cat who melted my fiance's heart from day one (formerly self-proclaimed as "not a cat guy"). We adopted him over two years ago. He loves playing on his custom built kitty tree, watching birds out the window, and "zooming" through the house as he attacks our legs. He finds a toy in everything (currently an Amazon box), but listens VERY well (no issues with getting on counters and responds to commands). He is a very social cat who waits for us to get home, then immediately lays down and cries for some rubs and attention. With such an amazing personality we just HAD to give him his own Instagram and document the cuteness. Follow Respect.the.Nelson for more adorable pictures. Thank you, Cat Welfare, for your very important work in giving these amazing companions a chance!

"We brought Emmy home in January as a buddy to our previously adopted cat (Chaz). She was shy at first and hid under the bed a lot, but recently she has started to come out of her shell and loves to chase and play with Chaz.

"Chaz is such a sweet boy. He is so calm and loves cuddles. We are so happy to have him!"

"Joe was adopted 2 years ago and was very skittish and shy. Now he is the most social and wonderful little buddy. He enjoys catnip, cuddling, popcorn, and taking six to eight naps a day. He is loving and perfect!"

"My family and I adopted the beautiful Lady Grey on Feb 6 2018. She didn't seem to want much to do with us after all the attention she got from us at the shelter, she was a bit aggressive and overwhelmed. I was a little worried but wanted to give her a chance to warm up to us in our home where it was relaxed and quiet.We brought her home and prepared her a room to relax and become acclimated to her new home (as we have other cats), but she wanted nothing to do with it! She cried and cried to be let out into the house from our bedroom. Surprisingly enough after a few hours of exploration and sniffing around, She was running and playing as if she had been with us for years. She is loving her new home and we are loving her even more! She warmed up to us beautifully right away. She loves to snuggle and loves the belly rubs.

"Sweet little tripod girl has been doing very well since I got her. She likes to hop around and attack her feather wand. She's still a little surly about having a brother but they're getting along better every day. She's still the puffy ball of purrs and head rubs I adopted."

Adopted by Kathryn Maynard.

"Daphne (formerly Miss Berry) is completely settled in our home! She LOVES to play with her mouse and her feather stick. She's great at purring, eating, and snuggling in her bed. We love her. Thanks, Cat Welfare!"

"We adopted Cookie after Christmas 2017, and he is such a sweet boy that we love him so much! He would wake us up when he hears our phone rings the alarm clock, and uses soft sound to say good morning to us. We believe he grew up in a family with dogs, as it's very interesting to find some of his habits are very similar to dogs'. He likes us to throw the toy mouse, and he will fetch it back, just like a retriever!

"Luna quickly became a permanent resident of our happy home. She is everyone’s favorite roommate, greeting everyone at the door, demanding face rubs and talking to you if she doesn’t get them. She’s the most lovable cuddly family member, sleeping on top of her mom every single night.

"A week before Thanksgiving 2011 I ventured into Cat Welfare looking for a cat or kitten. I was given a tour and fell in love with (then) Becky. A beautiful DSH grey kitten. Love at first sight- she was adopted that day! Fast forward 5.5 years later (now) Bella Ninja Kitty has a filled life! She has a younger (much larger) sister, a Great Dane; Audrey Hepburn. She enjoys long afternoons on her cat perch and chin scratches!

Adopted by David & Sondra Hays.

"Starry chose us over a year ago! We couldn’t imagine our family without her. We are crazy about her and she is a little spoiled. She has come a long way with us and you can tell she is just as crazy about us! Thank you."

Adopted by Daysa & Emani.

"We adopted Bella as a kitten she is so spoiled such a loyal and innocent kitty. Yes, she is! She loves to chase and play with kids and made everyone in the house want more cats! Glad we adopted her!

-Kiki is living her BEST life (as am I) now that she is adopted! She has such a huge personality and loves loves loves to play at all hours of the day! Her favorite thing is knocking all my necklaces off my dresser at 7am sharp each morning. She also enjoys taking the dirt out of my plants and swatting all the little rock’s around (even though she has plenty of toys!) she also enjoys sleeping in her cat tower while looking out at the birds through the window and when it’s time to rest her favorite spot is on top of the couch right above my head. She is very well loved ❤️.
