Mariposa, domestic

Mariposa is a female domestic cat being cared for at Animal Aid Inc.

She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She's spayed, and she has had all her shots.

More from Mariposa:

I’m the soft and beautiful Mariposa. I’m currently eating a prescription food for urinary health as I had some crystals in my urine which may have caused some inappropriate urination briefly in my past. I had a hernia fixed some months ago on my tummy but that issue is completely resolved. I’m a love bug. I’m very friendly with people. I’m ok with other cats but don’t really seek out their company. I can be a little shy at first but I’m a cool cat.

Tiffa, Egyptian Mau

Tiffa is a female Egyptian Mau cat currently housed at Northwest Animal Companions.

She's already house-trained. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she is spayed.

Here's more from Tiffa:

Have you ever been to the pyramids of Giza? If you have, you may have seen my ancestors. Hi, my name is Tiffa, short for Latifa which means delicate. I am certainly the cat’s meow. Why? Well, I love to “talk” like a Siamese cat. You see, my genes are from the original cats of Asia. I am a Mau, an Arabian Mau to be exact. My ancestors were the ones who inspired the great sphinx monuments. I may not have been around during Cleopatra’s times but I can assure you that I would have certainly been chosen as one of her palace felines. For that reason, I have a very queen-like personality. I definitely prefer to be the only feline queen of the house. I love to cuddle on your lap or somewhere just near you.

Chester, domestic shorthair mix

Chester is a male domestic shorthair mix staying at Oregon Humane Society.

Chester is already neutered.

Here's more from Chester:

I came all the way to OHS through the Second Chance Program. My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. I have been worried during my stay at OHS. It may take me a while to settle in to my new home. I love treats and catnip! You can use them to help gain my trust! I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.

Cougar, domestic shorthair mix

Cougar is a male domestic shorthair mix staying at Oregon Humane Society.

He's already been neutered.

Here's more from Cougar:

I am worried about the big world around me. Limiting me to one room of your home (at first) may help me feel safe. I will need daily interaction with you as I get used to my new life. I may benefit from having another confident feline friend in the home. Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy! I have lived with other cats in my last home. I enjoy being around people but I also appreciate my alone time where I can do my own thing. I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.

Lee, domestic shorthair mix

Lee is an adorable male domestic shorthair mix staying at Oregon Humane Society.

Lee will do best in a home without small children. He's already been neutered.

Here's what Lee has to say:

I am worried about the big world around me. Limiting me to one room of your home (at first) may help me feel safe. I will need daily interaction with you as I get used to my new life. When I feel safe I am known to shower my favorite people in love! I need to go to an adult only home. I would prefer to be the only cat in the home. I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
