Story

Introducing Tai Shan, the adorably rotund senior cow cat with a heart of gold! Tai Shan may not be the most energetic feline in the shelter, but he’s certainly earned the title of “Cuddle King” among his fellow residents. You see, he’s not just a favorite among humans; every kitty in the shelter adores him. It’s as if Tai Shan exudes an irresistible charm that transcends species boundaries! This somewhat shy, low-energy, laid-back feline is all about the fine art of lounging. If there’s one thing Tai Shan truly excels at, it’s perfecting the art of relaxation. He’s content with finding the comfiest spot in the room and settling in for a leisurely nap. All he really needs in life is a plush, cozy bed, a sunbeam to bask in, and perhaps a feline cuddle buddy or two to share his peaceful moments with. Tai Shan’s journey began behind Mailee’s Thai restaurant in Scottsdale, where he and his three litter mates were rescued as kittens. While his fellow siblings found loving homes early on, Tai Shan remained in the shelter, patiently waiting for his forever family. Now, his plump and endearing presence is a testament to his resilience in holding out for his perfect human and the love he’s ready to offer.

Midnight is a shy and mysterious mini panther beauty. She loves to climb in high or hidden places, and lives for dinner time, treat time, second dinner time, catnip time, and string toy time! Midnight knows what she wants and has a distinct and unforgettable meow, which she will use to tell you all of her thoughts on the speed her food is being delivered (hint: not fast enough). Never fully growing to trust people after a difficult early life, Midnight has spent a lot of her life in the shelter and gets along great with other cats. It would warm our hearts to find Midnight her very own forever home to retire in, with a loving and patient human family who let her be her shy self.

FAQs

What is the best age to adopt a cat or kitten? ›

Why are senior cats not adopted? ›

Is it better to get a kitten or an older cat? ›

Is it better to adopt an older cat or kitten? ›

What age is a good age for a cat? ›

Older dogs and cats can be a great fit for a variety of owners. They might require a little extra care and attention, but they can be as companionable and affectionate as a younger pet—even more so in some ways.
