Luigi, domestic shorthair mix

Luigi is an adorable male domestic shorthair mix staying at The Euclid Beach Cat Project.

Luigi would do great in a home with children — he loves being around people. He is neutered, and he has had all his shots. Have no fear: Luigi is already house-trained.

From Luigi's current caretaker:

Luigi is two years old. He was being given away by somebody on social media, and one of our volunteer team members saw it and wanted to help him. We were luckily able to take him to see a vet, have him neutered and complete the rest of his vetting process. He is super affectionate and loves to be held.

Here's what Isaiah's friends at The Euclid Beach Cat Project think of him:

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

Sasha's current caretakers say:

Sasha was adopted in January 2020 after being surrendered due to her caregiver’s health. Sadly, her adopter passed away recently, and now she finds herself in need of a family yet again. Sasha is pretty resilient and is taking change like a champ. She has a few pounds to lose but is otherwise healthy. Sasha would make a great companion for any family.

Picasso, domestic shorthair

Picasso is a darling male domestic shorthair cat being cared for at The Euclid Beach Cat Project.

Picasso is friendly as can be, and he's happy to keep company with other cats and dogs. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. Picasso is already neutered, and he has had all his shots.

From Picasso's current caretaker:

Picasso is a friendly stray who had to endure a few years on the streets. He did have nice humans feeding him. Actually, a few neighbors were giving him very generous helpings. However, he didn’t have a warm cozy home and family. Finally, a neighbor who was not able to take him inside because her cats were not cat-friendly with others asked us to please help Picasso. We agreed. He was a little worse for wear when we took him in. He needed a dental cleaning, which he has since had. Picasso is super-friendly and really is the sweetest.

Eilif, domestic shorthair

Eilif is a charming male domestic shorthair cat being cared for at The Euclid Beach Cat Project.

Eilif is friendly as can be — he's happy to keep company with other cats. He's already vaccinated and neutered. Have no fear: Eilif is already house-trained.

From Eilif's current caretaker:

Eilif came to us as a very shy, timid boy in need of a tail amputation last year. His tail had been removed; he was in extreme pain and needed quite a bit of healing time. He is a now recovered. Eilif has blossomed socially. He is fantastic with other cats and has become social and trusting of humans too. He doesn’t mind being picked up but doesn’t want to be cradled for too long. Eilif came from a place where there was a known presence of FIV. He is FIV-positive but is in great health. Eilif is fantastic with other animals, so he can be adopted into a home and live harmoniously with FIV-negative cats.
