Braveheart was born on or around March 23 and was found in a garbage can. His mother didn't come back. He was fortunately discovered, taken to the shelter and was able to be fostered by a mother with a litter perhaps a little younger than himself. When he came to his foster he was shy, hid and did not purr. He was very close to his adopted brother Tate. They were weaned, but had to learn how get on solids. His foster mom taught him how to eat bites from her hand. In 3 days, he learned to purr. Now, in addition to his normal healthy kitten energy of exploration and athleticism, he follows her all over the house, and any time she sits down, comes up to talk (he has the cutest little voice) and to cuddle. He lives up to his name. He's also called Ravi for short. His foster says, he may have been born in a garbage can, but he's destined for the Taj Mahal, a temple that was built on undying love.

Braveheart is being raised with his adopted brother and with two Papillon dogs, whom he would just love to sleep next to if they would only allow it.

Little Man Tate is a little fellow, hence his name. He is the cuddliest, floppiest, most relaxed wanna be in your lap little dude! He and Braveheart, his adopted brotherfrom another mother, are best friends. If you see the photos, they are draped over each other all of the time. He follows his foster mother around the house, and he's a little bit of a talker. He has now gotten to the point where he's becoming much more athletic, and he and his brother like to wrestle. His brother, who's a little bit older, seems to win more often but he's pretty good at setting boundaries. As soon as his foster mother sits down he comes up to get in her lap. He would also love to sleep in the bed with his new family. He is being raised with his adoptive brother, Braveheart, and two papillons, whom he is not afraid of at all. He's a wonderful lap cat and entertainer.

Franklin came to us after being abandoned on the street and surviving on his own for a few years while being watched over by neighbors. During this time it's clear he experienced many injuries, resulting in his signature crumpled ear, though he doesn't seem to feel any pain in his ear now. When he came to us, he had issues walking properly on his back legs and showed signs of pain if his butt or tail were touched too much. Despite this rough period for him, and his obvious pain, he was immediately one of the most cuddly cats his foster mom has ever met. He wants nothing more than to hang out with his humans on their lap or peer out the window thoughtfully, but he's also happy to chill out alone when you're gone. He is very inquisitive and curious and likes to hang out and watch what you're doing. Though occasionally playful, he's not the kind of cat you need to buy a lot of toys for. A warm bed or lap, and some tasty food, is about all it takes to make him happy. Seeing him slowly open up and get comfortable in a house has been absolutely heartwarming after knowing everything he experienced.

Laser therapy on his back legs has drastically improved his strength and mobility, and seems to have decreased or even eliminated his pain in his back limbs, so he is now able to jump and tolerates having his back and butt brushed very well. He would likely do better in a quieter home and seems to be scared of dogs, likely due to his time on the street, but he may be all right with other cats if introduced at his own pace. Franklin is truly a special little dude with a funny little personality and would be a great companion for someone looking for a lap cat. When he meows he opens his mouth really wide, and it makes it look like he's screaming, but the smallest, gentlest meow comes out instead. His sweet little serious face and big tomcat head will win you over immediately.

Do you want a cat who is eager to help you with whatever you are doing? If so, we have the cat for you. Holmes is an orange tuxedo tabby bobtail whose nickname is Short Tail. He is about a year old (5/9/22). Those gorgeous amber eyes will just melt your heart. He is very friendly and he views every lap as a place to cuddle. He loves people and gets along with other cats. We haven’t tried him with dogs. If you aren’t doing something that he thinks needs his expertise, he is often found sitting on the screen porch or by a window observing the activities of the birds and chipmunks in the yard. His other favorite activity is wrestling with Watson.

Watson is an orange tabby, half-tail/bobtail cat. He’s about a year old (5/8/22). He is shy so it takes a while for him to warm up to new people. Once he does, he loves to be petted. Watson does get along with other cats; we’ve not tried him with dogs. Besides observing nature from various windows and the screen porch, his favorite activity is wrestling with Short Tail. He would do best in a home with just one or two people.

Mr. K's foster dad has this to say about him: "Mr.K is one lucky 12-week-old -- as of Aug 9, 2021 -- male orange tabby! I was walking down the road a few weeks ago when I heard a few faint mews comming from a hedge of bushes across the street. I went to investigate, I looked into the hedge, and he was looking at me. I motioned for him to come out, and I asked him if he would like some food and a place to stay. You could see the joy in his eyes! He was dancing between my feet as I headed home. He was so hungry I think he ate about 40 cans of cat food before he slowed down. He was one skinny guy. Life is an adventure, isn't it? Now, I could have never imagined that this cat was so special. He's very playful, intelligent, caring, respectful, and he's great with his litter box and food area. Yep, I'm the lucky one. He's also very respectful of my 9-year-old cat -- maybe because he outweighs Mr.K by 10 pounds. Ha! But I do think he would like a roommate who is closer to his age. He is a true joy to have around. If he's not playing, he likes getting on the couch with me and snuggling and being petted. He has a cat bed, a stadium blanket, a scratcher, and his toys. He's had his first shots and has no issues. I've had many cats and this is a good one. I'm glad he's here!"

Fern is a six-year-old gray tabby girl with white legs and vest. SARG took her into the program after learning that Fern had been living outdoors for some time — a declawed cat in significant danger because she had no way to defend herself. Fern has excellent litter box habits, in spite of her time outdoors. This is a lap cat, a lover who just wants to purr on a lap. Even when she first arrived in her foster home after living outdoors for a long time, she didn't hide — she just wanted someone to pay attention to her. She isn't a fan of being picked up, but since she jumps up next to anyone sitting down and walks into a lap, that's just fine. This little girl is special!
