Sophie, domestic longhair and tabby mix

Sophie is a darling female domestic longhair and tabby mix in the care of Street Paws Rescue.

Sophie gets along well with other cats. She has had all of her shots, and she's spayed. No need to worry: She's already house-trained.

From Sophie's current caretaker:

Sophie is a beautiful dark grey and silver kitty with fur like a Mainecoone. She is around 4 years old, extremely gentle, loving and truly appreciates everything you do for her. She shows her gratitude by constantly rubbing her face and body against you. She is a lap cat, an emotional support cat and would follow you around and love you forever.

Emmy, Siamese and tabby mix

Emmy is a darling female Siamese and tabby mix currently residing at 13th St Cats.

Emmy is a social animal — she loves other cats. Fear not: She's already house-trained. She is already spayed, and she has had all her shots.

From Emmy's current caretaker:

Emmy is a sweet gal. She was being cared for in the backyard of a woman who passed away. She is too nice and too old to be returned to the street. Emmy deserves a safe, warm and loving space at this point in her life. She loves to be pet and comes to call to you when you walk into her area. Not a lap cat yet- but definitely has the potential.

Loki, American shorthair

Loki is a charming male American shorthair cat being kept at 13th St Cats.

He's already been neutered. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.

Here's what Loki's friends at 13th St Cats think of him:

Loki is a playful, confident and happy guy! He is a bit chunky (14 pounds), and unless there is a step he can use, he doesn't usually jump onto the counters since he doesn't seem to have much confidence in his leaping abilities. He knows the words "play" and "string" so that usually gets him going (he will chirp and wag his lower body in response). His meow is very small and very squeaky—it is adorable. He gets along with other cats once he gets to know them, though I am not sure how he'd react to a dog. He loves to snuggle at night and his favorite places are nestled between your legs or leaning against you all night long.

The Grey's current caretakers say:
