Layla, tabby and Bengal mix

Layla is a female tabby and Bengal mix currently housed at New Hope Animal Rescue NFP .

Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she's spayed. Fear not: She's already house-trained.

Layla's current caretakers say:

I was only three weeks old when I was abandoned at a shelter. Now, I've got a foster mom who has taken me in and nurtured me. I'm a nurturer at heart too, but I sometimes have a little sass. I'm a torbie after all. My best friend right now is Butter's, because she is shy and needs me the most. If you think I'd make a great addition to your family, apply today to adopt me.

Butterscotch, domestic shorthair and tabby mix

Butterscotch is a charming male domestic shorthair and tabby mix staying at Cats' Angels, Inc. (Cats Angels).

Butterscotch wants all your attention: He will need a home free of other cats, dogs and children. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He's neutered, vaccinated, and has tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV.

From Butterscotch's current caretaker:

This handsome boy has striking aqua eyes and lots of love to give. Confident and cuddly, he will follow you around the house, purring and wrapping himself around your legs. His mom has been hospitalized and can no longer take care of him. We hope to place him in a quiet home as the only cat. Could it be yours?

Notes from Sasha X's caretakers:

This sweet, loving girl was rescued from a hoarding situation. She appreciates head and chin scratches, and will coo while you do it. Sometimes on the shy side, she is starting to talk a lot and explore her Siamese voice. She is used to being around other cats, but is also independent enough to be by herself. All she wants is a quiet home, a few toys and someone to love. If you are a cat whisperer, this shy kitty will be totally worth the effort!

Notes from Bootsy's caretakers:

Bootsy is energetic and curious kitten. She is becoming quite the quilting cat and loves to sit in her foster mom's studio and watch all the activity. The window sill is another favorite spot where she watches the bees and hummingbirds outside. She also carries around soft cat toys and hides them under her bed. She's fun to be around and gets along well with the older cats in the family.
