Looking for a cat who’s left his wild days behind and fully embraced the finer things in life? Meet Right Said Fred, a handsome, sleek gentleman and reformed rake tomcat who’s discovering that indoor living is every bit as wonderful as everyone promised.

These days, Fred’s priorities are refreshingly simple: a soft bed, a full belly, plenty of head scratches, and a reliable supply of treats. He’s adapted to his new life with remarkable enthusiasm and seems determined to make up for every uncomfortable nap he ever took outdoors.

Fred might still carry himself with the quiet confidence of a cat who’s seen many sides of life, his favorite adventure now is following his people around the house in hopeful anticipation that a snack might magically appear. He’s never pushy—just eternally optimistic.

Fred isn’t especially interested in high-speed zoomies or elaborate acrobatics. Instead, he’s perfected the art of leisurely lounging and believes one of life’s greatest pleasures is climbing into bed with his favorite person each night and settling in for a peaceful sleep.

Swipe to see Fred’s reaction to learning the treats ran out!

Betty Girl is the softest little purr machine you could hope to cozy up on the couch with!

This chatty girl loves attention and isn’t shy about asking for it. She’ll rub enthusiastically against your legs, demand pets, and if you pick her up, she may even rub her face right against your nose. She’s also wonderfully funny and has plenty to say.

When she’s not busy getting cuddles, Betty is ON THE MOVE. She zooms around the house like a torpedo, climbs her cat tree, plays with toys by herself, and goes wild for her favorite ball-track toy. She also loves wand toys and will happily chase mice that you toss for her.

Betty gets along well with other cats and is respectful of their space. She hasn’t tried playing with them yet, but she seems to enjoy having feline friends around.

Betty is looking for someone who will appreciate both sides of her personality: the energetic girl who needs plenty of playtime and the cuddly girl who wants to be your little shadow.
