Noogie, American shorthair
Noogie is an adorable female American shorthair cat in the care of St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.
Noogie likes to socialize — she'll get along great with other cats and dogs. She's spayed, she has all her shots, and she is already house-trained.
A note from Noogie:
My brother, Munchie, and I just celebrated our first birthday. Even though we are no longer tiny kittens we still love to play. We love our foster mommy very much but we want to have a human we can call our own. We are both shy until we learn to trust you then we turn into purring lap kitties. We would need a quiet home with no children but we get along with other kitties and cat friendly dogs. Won't someone give us a chance? We have so much love to give. *Bonded pair, must adopt with Munchie*

Jilly, American shorthair
Jilly is a sweet female American shorthair cat being kept at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.
Jilly is happy to keep company with other cats and dogs. Jilly is spayed, and she has all her shots. She's also already house-trained.
A note from Jilly:
I love laying on Mom's lap, getting kisses and exploring. What I do not like is is the other kitties rushing me. I can get a little testy and let them know. I love older kitties and snuggling with them. When I was little, I was roughly handled by some children, so I can get a little nervous when there is chaos or I am grabbed too quickly. If you give me a moment, I settle right down. I am a happy girl though, and once I know you, I love to climb in your lap and love you. Are you looking for me? I sure hope so. Love, Jilly. XOXO.

Namaste, American shorthair
Namaste is an adorable female American shorthair cat currently housed at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.
Namaste is ready to make friends, and she'll get along great with your children, cats or dogs. She's spayed, and she has all her shots. She is already house-trained.
From Namaste's current caretaker:
This funky mamma is an outdoor kitty who likes to be around people. A woman who was feeding her realized she was pregnant, and that's when St. Francis Rescue stepped in. She had four babies and was a very loving mother. Because Namaste was an outdoor cat for so long she is weary of loud noises and new people. She would prefer a quiet home. Other than that Namaste is not picky at all and has great house manners. Although her right eye may look a little cloudy she has no vision problems and loves to play.
