Who’s black, white, and zooming all over? Sebastian! This boy is only six months old, and he still has his kitten energy.

As soon as you approach his cat condo, you can see Sebastian high-fiving the cat in the condo above him. If you open the door, Sebastian is ready to climb into your arms and come out to play. One volunteer described him as a “rapscallion” and a better word could not be found for such a mischievious young man.

We think that he would do best in a home with other active pets – we would not subject a dignified, older cat to the likes of Sebastian. If you’re looking for a calm lap cat, Sebastian is not for you. But if you love a scrappy, playful young cat and have the time to help him spend his energy, we urge you to come and meet this little scamp!

Have you ever watched a small child color a picture of a kitten? You might end up with something looking like three-month-old Katie Mae.

Her front legs are black, her back legs are white, she has a tiny white fleck off centered on her nose, and what’s up with those eyebrows? However her colors came together, Katie Mae is just gorgeous. And she has a super sweet personality as well. She is a bit shy, but very playful and cuddly once she knows you.

Katie Mae is full of energy and her favorite toys are bouncy springs and ping pong balls. She loves cuddling and wrestling with her siblings and would need to go to a home with another kitten or to a home with an affectionate and playful cat or a cat-friendly dog.

Without a doubt, the shelter is a wonderful place. It offers protection and care and helps pair animals with people, forming relationships of mutual attachment. For sensitive souls like two-year-old Belinda, however, the shelter is a bit of a paradox. From this busy building, she will find her next chapter – a family and home to call her very own where she will be loved and cherished. But this building is too busy, too loud, and too unknown for Belinda to be at her best.

Found as a stray, Belinda was taken in by kindlypeople who looked after her until space opened at the shelter. In these people’s peaceful home, Belinda thrived. She was affectionate. Happy. Engaged. Without rival cats, loud noises or frequent disturbances of routine, Belinda showed her true colors. But she packed her best self away once she arrived at the shelter, safely sealed behind a façade that portrays her as unhappy and rigid.

Belinda is not really the cat who you’ll meet at the shelter if you visit. She is instead a cat you cannot initially see, who like a seed in dormancy will sprout and bloom when her ideal conditions are met. She will require an adopter with a calm, cat-free home who trusts that the cat packed into the carrier on adoption day is going to change once she feels safe and secure. Trust is a process, built slowly over time, but Belinda is ready to show how rewarding it can be.

To find out more or to make an appointment to meet our available cats please fill out the application at www.poainc.org. If you already have an approved application, you can simply email poaplacement@gmail.com. And if you’re not looking to adopt, please consider spreading the word so that Belinda’s people can find her.

Three month old Zava is one of a litter of six, and his personality has shown to be gentle and caring. He likes to observe others before jumping into a situation and will never turn down an opportunity to get a hug or snuggle. In fact he could be doing tumbles and parkour then stop in his tracks when he realizes he could have a quick snuggle session before jumping back into playmode. He is such a sweet kitten and quickly wins the hearts of all who meet him.

Zava is very used to being in a loud environment with his five siblings and from daily visits from all of the neighborhood children (of all ages). He’s comfortable being held, carried and hugged thanks to lots of socialization from birth. He is an active boy and needs a kitten companion. He would love to go home with his sister.

While he’s lovable and charming there is a glimmer of mischief in Zava. He was the first of his litter mates to figure out how to get his collar off and off and off and off. He and three of his six littermates were born looking identical, so they all were given a different color collars so daily weigh ins (to ensure healthy growth) would be easier for the foster family. Everyone kept theirs on but Zava!

Zava is so eager to meet his forever family, and share his charming ways and loving purrs with them.

Kenya (aka Coco) is ready for the rain this weekend. This joyfu girl is not going to let a few showers damper her fun filled sniffari walks or zoomies in the yard. Kenya has been working on her manners and leash training and doing wonderfully with her foster family. She will need a patient experienced adopter to continue her training. She’d do best in a quiet home and introduction to new people should be slow so she can gain trust. Once this precious beauty gets to know you, she’s the most affectionate love bug. Interested in learning more about this sweet girl, go to poainc.org. For additional information email aileen.l@poainc.org
