Maeve's current caretakers say:
Maeve's hobbies include making muffins and sweet purrs. She loves a good, soft blanket to knead. She has a cute meow that sounds like an old-fashioned wind-up toy winding down. She is sweet and calm and would probably do fine in a household with children.

From Lacey's current caretaker:
This beautiful young kitty was either left behind or put out quite some time ago, as she was found with a collar she had definitely outgrown and was so happy to have it removed. Though a bit scared at first, once she felt safe, Lacey quickly showed her absolutely sweet and loving personality.

She is vaccinated and spayed. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. Cali is a special-needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
Notes from Cali's caretakers:
Cali is an outgoing lady who was abandoned at the Refuge in October and has been waiting for a happy home ever since.

If you are looking for a cat who is curious, outgoing and playful, Murphy is your man. He is very friendly and comes up to say hello to everyone that passes by.
