• Name: Molly
• Age: 1-2 years
• Breed: DSH
• Gender: Female

Molly is a very lucky kitty. She was rescued and the very next day went into labor and had complications requiring an emergency room visit and one of the kittens died. If she had not been rescued she would have died a very painful death. Now she is healthy and ready for her new home. She gets along well with other cats, loves to play with strings and toys, and look out the window. She is very petite girl at maybe 8-9 lbs. We believe she is around 1-2 years old. She is very affectionate, vocal, and sweet. She still has some trust issues with new people, so her new home would need to be understanding and patient and let her open up on her terms. You can see in her video that she is very playful and loving. She even makes biscuits on her foster mom’s back. With love and affection she will make a great addition to a cat loving home.

• Name: Puss N Boots
• Age: 1 year
• Breed: DSH mix
• Gender: Male

Puss N Boots reminds of us of the character in Shrek. He does what he wants on his terms and is super cute doing it. His face is extremely expressive and it leaves you wondering just what he is thinking. Puss has come a long way in the short time we have had him (6 months). He is now playful (loves strings and toys), LOVES his treats, and now lets us pet him for short periods of time. While Puss is unsure sometimes of being touched, he never hides. He is very curious about his surroundings and always wants to be on a chair, bed, shelf, or table. You won’t find him hiding in a dark corner. He was rescued from an abandoned house with 5 other cats.

• Name: Wilson
• Age: 3 years
• Breed: Domestic shorthair mix
• Gender: Male

Wilson is a very odd cat. His mom sadly had to give him up due to severe illness, and he’s still sad about that. Wilson talks a LOT – you never have to worry about whether there’s food in the cat bow or not, because if there ain’t, Wilson will definitely let you know! He is a little shy around people, but we think he would do a lot better in a quieter home where there aren’t so many other cats around. He will co-exist with other cats, but he doesn’t like to hang out with them. Only one cat has ever managed to make friends with Wilson, and that is Palmer (check out this special cat’s bio as well!). Wilson would rather just kind of hang around than mingle. He is a worry wart, and will pull his hair out when he gets stressed. At one point he was nearly hairless from the top of his belly to the tip of his tail! He also has a flea allergy, so he has to have his flea treatment right on time every month or he will get sores. I know this is a lot to ask of a new home, but Wilson deserves a chance.

• Name: Blaine
• Age: about 1 year
• Breed: DSH
• Gender: Male

Blaine is right at a year old (as of 9/09) and is a very affectionate, good natured cat. He adores people, other cats and dogs and loves kids. He takes great care of the foster kittens in his foster home, giving them baths and playing with them. He always seems to have his arms wrapped around another cat. he also adores people and likes to sleep on his foster mom’s chest – which can sometimes be a problem because he’s a little bit heavy! Blaine has had a cold since he was a kitten that he can’t seem to shake. We think he might be able to clear up if he were in a home where there wasn’t another cronicly ill cat (his foster mom’s cat Singlewide also has a cold nearly all the time). If you’re willing to help get this sweet boy well, we would provide medicine and vitamins, which in addition to a fresh environment will likely help him get rid of this cold. If this sounds like something you’re up to, and would like to adopt this amazingly gentle and affectionate cat, email his foster mom – rmorris@netcommander.com

Meet Ugly Betty, affectionately named that because of her, um, “different” appearance. She’s a tortie, but is mostly black with orange randomly sprinkled in. Unfortunately, it isn’t really her appearance that keeps her from getting adopted. Though she’s been in foster care and had constant contact with people since she was three weeks old, she is still very skittish around people, and will only allow you to pet her once you are “approved”, and then only fleetingly. It was a year before she started sleeping on the bed with her foster parents, and she does get more affectionate when the house is dark and quiet. Now she jumps on the bed and head-butts her foster mom nearly every night. She is also known as “Wrap-Around” Betty, because when she rubs against you, she throws her whole body into it and you often have a tail in your face.

We know Betty isn’t the most adoptable cat, but she really deserves a chance to have a home of her own, where there aren’t so many other foster cats and so much change going on around her. She does have a reduced adoption fee. Please ask about Betty – email rmorris@netcommander.com for more information.

Aspen was found in the woods at 4 weeks old, scrawny and near death, with a raging eye infection. We were able to bring her back to health with lots of love and good food, but her right eye will always be smaller and have very limited vision. There’s no reason to remove the eye, so it’s just a physical trait she will always have. It doesn’t bother her one little bit though! She is very spunky and loves to play. She adores other cats, dogs and kids, and would be great in just about any home that has some time each day to play with her – she loves the laser light!

Angelique was found as a 5 month old kitten at a hunting camp by a nice couple who brough her to Circle of Friends. She is very sweet, but is pretty shy thanks to her late introduction to the kindness of people. She purrs when you pet her, but she will probably hide for a week or so once she goes to her forever home. At night, when the house is quiet, she gets on the bed and loves to snuggle with her foster mom. She loves other cats and dogs. If you have the patience to give this sweet girl a chance, email her foster mom – rmorris@netcommander.com for more info.

Lana is a very sweet 8 year old cat. She doesn’t really like other cats, but she will co-exist with them. She doesn’t mind dogs, either. She is an extremely affectionate cat. When I first brought her home, I showed her the litterbox, food and water, and went to lay down because it had been a long day. I was shocked when, 3 minutes later, she jumped on the bed and snuggled with me. I had just met her, and she had lived for several years with her previous owner, yet she adjusted to life in a new home almost immediately.

Helena is a very sweet cat. She’s about 1 1/2 years old and is very laid back. She is okay with living with other cats and dogs, though she isn’t thrilled with them.
