Macy, tortoiseshell
Macy is a charming female tortoiseshell cat currently residing at Independent Animal Rescue Inc.
She's already been house-trained. She has been vaccinated and spayed.
From Macy's current caretaker:
Macy is feisty. She can be shy when she visits somewhere new, but as soon as she gets used to her surroundings she becomes lively and friendly. She demands attention with a voice too loud for her tiny body.

Poe, domestic shorthair
Poe is a sweet male domestic shorthair cat staying at Independent Animal Rescue Inc.
Poe is looking for a dog-free household. He's already been house-trained. Poe is neutered, and he has all of his shots.
Poe's current caretakers say:
With raven fur and soulful eyes, young Poe was born to love and be loved. An offer of a cuddle and kisses will pull him away from even the most delicious of dishes, or the grandest adventure with his bold brother, Kipling.

From Thomas' current caretaker:
Thomas is a sweet cat who needs a patient, experienced cat person. He had a rough beginning and was not around people for his first two months, so it takes him some time to be sure of new people.
