Hi! My name is Ian.

I’m a handsome 2-year-old boy who has spent my entire life at Jim Beam’s Corner Cattery. I arrived when I was just one week old, along with my mama and siblings, and the Cattery has been the only home I’ve ever known.

There are lots of things I love here. I have plenty of toys to play with, lots of kitty friends, and I especially enjoy spending time in the catio. I can watch the world go by, see the cars pass, and take in all the exciting smells outside.

The last two years have been filled with love and care, and I’m grateful for every day. But what I want most is a family of my very own—a place to call home, a cozy spot on the couch, and people who will love me forever.

Could you be the one to give me the happy ending I’ve been waiting for? ❤️

My Name Is Squeaky

I am a 2½-year-old MARBLED TABBY who’s a big-time cuddler and lover who sometimes drools when I get really happy. 😊 I am sooooo soft and have a compact little body and a nice fuzzy tail.

I was born with my eye like this, but my mama said I’m still beautiful, and the vet says it’s doing just fine.

I came to the Cattery just a month ago because my human mama passed away from cancer. I miss her. ☹️

My new humans at the Cattery treat me wonderfully, and I love them, but I’d really like a new home with a sofa and a nice human to cuddle up with.

Please come visit me and all my new friends at the Cattery soon. We loooove visits and pets! ❤️🐾

Skittles’ mama passed away, and her world changed overnight. 💔

But sometimes, even after heartbreak, something beautiful happens. ❤️

Skittles has found a new mama to love her, spoil her, and cherish her for the rest of her days. These two are truly the perfect match, and we couldn’t be happier for them both.

Happy tails, sweet Skittles! May your future be filled with love, comfort, and all the cuddles you deserve. 🐾💕

They give and get hugs EVERY day but we all celebrated the special day! We got so busy in the shelter, we failed to post, but hope you guys now will give an EXTRA hug for the “Day After Hug Your Cat Day!” 🤗
