Max is a 9 year old Siamese that was brought to us through a joint rescue effort between PAWS and PALS after his owner could no longer care for him. He is super friendly and has even shown an affinity for laps. We believe that Max is really short for “Maximum Love!” Max has kidney issues and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and we’re working with vets to stabilize his condition and help him gain weight back.  His current position as Walmart greeter means he is often the first one you will meet at the cafe. 

Meet Persephone’s dad, a two year old who was rescued as a stray by PALS. Over time, Jack has really come out of his shell, allowing humans to give him pets. He loves nothing more than to snooze atop the cat tree, occasionally tilting his head to watch other cats (and people) go about their day. Jack can sometimes get a bit overstimulated with too much love, but really enjoys just being in the company of humans, sitting near them and observing the cafe happenings. Jack has FIV, which can only be transferred to another cat through a deep bite, usually in the wild, and can live a normal life given good nutrition and routine vet care.   Jack has an approved adopted and will be going home with his daughter Persephone in a few weeks!

“Don’t stop loving me. Can we play now? Are we there yet? I’m ready for a snack.”  We think those are just some of the thoughts that go through Monty’s head in the course of a minute. This high-energy two year old boy was rescued as a stray by PALS before coming to the cafe. Unfortunately, he had lost a lot of fur patches, the likely cause being stress. With the help of the cafe, he has flourished into quite the snuggly, playful cat that he is inside! His favorite activities include hoarsing around with a turtle wand toy and wrestling with his buddy Kermit. Through the efforts of the cafe, we are working to help Monty build his courage and find him the right diet so he can be a model for the Fur Regrowth Club for Men.

Do you see a huge pair of eyes staring at you from behind the couch? A monster? No, it’s just Lord Briar, a beautiful 6 yr-old flame point siamese. This adorable boy was surrendered to the Odd Cat Sanctuary after coming from a tough home life. He started out shy and prefering to hide behind the couch, but has started getting braver and even climbed on a few laps. Lord Briar will accept head pats, brushing, and might even eat treats from your hand with a little encouragement. When you touch him, you’ll notice his indescribably soft fur! Lord Briar has serious Irritable Bowel Disorder which can be managed with the right dietary restrictions and vet care. Lord Briar has an approved adopter and will be going home in a few weeks.

Jack’s daughter is here! Persephone is about one year old and pretty shy right now, sort of like her sister Freya when she first came. She is super curious about other cats and has a lot of resemblances to Jack! When Persephone saw Jack after 8 months, she ran out to greet him and now he grooms her :) Persephone will be getting adopted together with Jack in a few weeks!

Bobbi (aka Ms. Suits) is a 7 month old tuxedo superstar who was rescued by PAWS. She is still quite shy, but very curious and playful once she gets used to you. Bobbi also sports the cutest bobtail that we’ve never seen yet on a tuxedo cat!

Talk about 2 degrees of kitty separation! 3 year old Sam happens to be both the sister of Maisy (adopted two years ago) and the mother of Persephone (currently here at the cafe). She was rescued 8 months ago by PALS along with Jack, Persephone, and Freya. She’s a bit shy right now, but she loves taking a peek at the other cats and is getting more used to pets (especially with the back scratcher!)

Step aside Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan….the real 007 has arrived! Meet James Bond, a friendly energetic 2 year old who is constantly looking for adventure and ways to sneak in to all the restricted spaces. He was rescued by PALS when he was left behind by his previous owners. He’s already started to claim laps and is very into meeting other cats. James Bond has an approved adopter and will be going home in a few weeks!

Behold Coco’s sister Peaches who was also rescued by PALS. Peaches is barely one year old and has already had kittens. She is a purr machine and loves to show her belly. Peaches isn’t quite sure how she feels about the cats in the cafe so we’re working on slow introductions.

Meet Amelia, a sweet almost one year old dilute tortie who was rescued as a pregnant mama by PALS. Amelia starts out shy at first, but as she gets confident she comes out for pets and has even gotten on a lap already. We’re still introducing her into the cafe so we don’t know yet how much she needs to be with other cats.
