Tamira
Senior • Female • Medium
DOB: 3/14/2018 EMS Report - Patient: Tamira DOB: 3/14/2018 Call Type: Surrendered for being too fabulous (and missing a few teeth) Disposition: Stable. Adorable. Slightly shy. "Dispatch, be advised-we've got a 6-year-old female feline, calico-tortie mix, presenting with extreme cuteness, no tail, and a couple dental vacancies. Patient was surrendered due to missing teeth-but alert and purring on arrival." Upon exam, Tamira is noted to be in overall good condition, minus the aforementioned dental gap and tail absence (believed to be congenital or previous trauma-unclear, but honestly, she rocks the look). Heart sounds sweet. Pupils dilated for love. Temperament initially shy but improves rapidly with gentle petting and kind words. Patient exhibits classic signs of "Shy Sweetheart Syndrome," including cautious curiosity, soft nuzzles, and tentative biscuit-making. No aggressive behaviors noted. Prognosis? Excellent-with the right human. Recommendation: low-stimulation forever home, steady doses of affection, and regular cuddles PRN (as needed). "Dispatch, we're transporting to Forever Home General. ETA: whenever the right person shows up. Over and out." Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center! All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. **If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.

Nicolette
Senior • Female • Medium
DOB: 10/17/2010 Meet Nicolette, a resilient and sweet tabby senior searching for a peaceful forever home where she can truly shine in her golden years. Her story began on the streets, where she was trying to survive until a kind person brought her to Colony Cats and Dogs. At 14 years old, Nicolette amazed us all with her youthful spirit and her determination to enjoy life. Nicolette has settled well in her foster home, and her foster describes her as an "easy keeper." She isn't picky about food or litter, and she has no obvious health issues. Her shiny, soft coat and playful nature make it hard to believe she's a senior cat. She loves string toys, catnip, and zooming through tunnels-she even gets the zoomies every night! She's incredibly engaging, following her foster around the house, supervising cooking sessions from the kitchen counter, and eagerly greeting them at the door after work. While Nicolette is affectionate in her own way-she'll happily curl up in your lap for hours-she's also independent and sassy. She loves pets and scratches but isn't shy about politely letting you know when she's had enough. Her chatty personality is endearing, even if her vocal moments can be a bit... persistent. She also has a small, adorable deformity on her front paw that only adds to her unique charm. Nicolette is looking for a calm, loving home where she can be the queen of the castle or live with other easygoing cats. She has so much love to give and so many playful, joyful moments left to share. Will you be the one to give Nicolette the peaceful, forever home she deserves? Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center! All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. **If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.
