Baxter is a very affectionate cat who invited himself into my house one day. He purrs loudly while wrapping himself around my legs.

Simba, tabby and domestic shorthair mix
Simba is a male tabby and domestic shorthair mix staying at Fortunate Feline Adoption League.
Simba loves other cats. He's vaccinated and neutered. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. Simba is a special needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.
Notes from Simba's caretakers:
He went into a foster home where he did not receive the kind of attention to help him learn to totally trust humans. Consequently, he is still somewhat shy and reticent around humans. He chooses when he wants attention. When he does, he will come and sit or lay by you and at times wrestle with you. He leaves no doubt that he wants attention.

Clarice is very shy and unsure of new situations. She tends to not want to rush in to any situation. She likes to be petted but is low key about it. Quick movements and noises startle her. She may not be a good fit for children. Clarice also did not get along with the dogs in her previous home.
