We have an #adoptionupdate from Kelsy who adopted Blossom (now Dust Storm) in November 2025. They had just come from Cat Fest, which spiked their cat fever. They had been considering getting a cat for some time, and a coworker of Kelsy’s fiancée had suggested CCS, so they decided to stop by and take a look. While visiting with all the cats, one with a small, nubby tail caught their attention. Dust Storm laid down right in Kelsy’s lap and fell asleep. When it came time to speak with an employee, she was gently lifted away and curled up in Kelsy’s fiancée’s lap and fell right back asleep. They had definitely been chosen!
“She has adjusted wonderfully! She still gets a little skittish from time to time but she always comes around for pets and treats! She knows where her treat cabinet is, and she is obsessed with churus. She loves to cuddle and refuses to move if you need her too. She sleeps with us every night. She likes to open cabinets especially at night which scares us with how loud it gets shut, so we had to basically baby proof the doors.
“She also has a very high pitched meow, which is amazing!! She meows a lot when we go to bed without telling her and she loses us. Her favorite toys are scratching posts and anything with a string, but her favorite thing ever is watching TV, or our phones. She will go out of her way to try and watch whatever is on our phones like a little iPad kitty. Her favorites are cat or dog videos, or squirrels, but she’ll watch anything really. When the squirrels are on the screen she likes to paw at them and make a little chirping noise.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from James who adopted Jessica (now Maeve) in February 2026. James came to CCS without a particular type of cat in mind but clearly found a purrfect match!
“She’s a bit of a couch potato during the day (literally my spot on the couch) after spending the first couple days in a bedroom I cleared out for her. She likes the mouse toy I was sent home with more than anything I got for her.
“She’s VERY food driven, will wake up and come running when I open wet food. She also will try to take food off of my plate while eating so now I put food down for her so we can eat together and it mitigates her thieving ways (which I adore). She also likes to loudly investigate the condo in the odd hours of the night.”
“She’s the best thing in my life. I LOVE my new little girl.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Kaleb who adopted Cinder in January 2026. Kaleb had seen a video of Cinder on Facebook and came looking specifically for him.
“He has adjusted great! He gets along with all of his new kitty siblings, and enjoys “helping” in the kitchen.
“He has been doing great, he loves breakfast and dinner time, helping clean out the dishwasher, loves carrying around his toys in his mouth and leaving them all over the house.
“He is the bestest, goodest old man.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Adara who adopted Cindy Lou in March 2026. Adara came to CCS looking for a boy cat since they had heard they were more affectionate; however, that stigma was proven false with Cindy Lou who was so sweet right away.
“She has adjusted great. I’m still in the beginning period where she is just in my room for now and in a week I plan to introduce her to a new room. She’s been very confident and playful. She also loves to snuggle at night which has been very nice.
“She tends to go crazy at night sometimes so I’ve learned to put some of her louder toys away. She has slowly been switching to a new food that she really seems to be liking. Her favorite toy so far is a wand that has changeable attachments. She has a butterfly and a fish that she loves.
“I’m glad to have her in my home. She’s turned out to be very friendly to new people and I’m glad that she’s finally in a giant space where she can feel confident and happy.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Carolina who adopted Chopin (now Chippy) in August 2024. Carolina wasn’t looking for any particular type of cat. When they were at the CCS, they were told Chippy was super shy but he came right up and was friendly, so they knew he was meant to be theirs!
“Chippy was brought into a very large family and initially was very quiet (like when we found him at CCS), but it didn’t take long for his confidence and comfortability to grow! He loves to window watch, take naps and climb on high surfaces and even though he is still quieter than most cats he is much more vocal now!
“Chippy has adapted well to his dog sibling Casey and they love napping together. He loves baskets and bags, string toys and making biscuits and loaves everywhere!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Amanda who adopted Buffy (now Miego) in January 2026. Amanda came to the shelter looking for a younger female all black cat.
“She’s named after Mie Goreng which is a sweet and spicy Indonesian noodle dish, and she’s also super sweet and spicy.
“Miego has been doing great. She came to live with 2 other older cats (they will be 10 and 11 this year), and has been hesitant to explore the greater house because of that, but she is very relaxed and spending lots of time purring and playing (with us, and sometimes the other cats!).
“She is for the most part healthy, is eating and using the litter box regularly, likes to nap during the day and run around like crazy at night, seems to really love tiny mouse toys, and loves her little cardboard box house that we made for her. Regarding her health, it is looking like she might have a heart arrhythmia, so we will be seeing a cardiologist in about a month and a half or so to get to the bottom of it.
“We are smitten with her!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Tiffany who adopted Uncle (now Shadow Rumble Tum Zagyi, First of His Name, Heir to the Throne) in November 2025. Tiffany came to the shelter looking for an older female tabby but then stumbled across Shadow and immediately placed an adoption hold him for the next day.
“Shadow has adjusted really well to our home and quickly became the absolute ruler of his kingdom.
“Shadow sleeps in the bed with us at night, wakes me up for breakfast, and enjoys a good belly rub and tumble/play (we allow bunny kicks and small nibbles) before I go to work. He uses the litter box like a pro, and he’s been eating well.
“Shadow is a chatty, funny boy that zooms around the house, but comes for snuggles and a quick nap before taking off again. He can usually be found in my husband’s office, watching the birds and squirrels from the desk. While he prefers the carpeted stairs to the scratch pads we’ve bought, there have been no other behavioral problems.
“We’re more than grateful to Cat Care Society for taking such good care of our boy. He’s happy, healthy, and the purrfect (yes, I did that) addition to our tiny family ❤.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Alayna who adopted Pippa in September 2025. While at the shelter, Pippa was part of our Lonely Hearts Club—a group of cats our staff believes need extra help finding their forever homes. These cats may be older, less eye-catching, have specific medical needs, or have simply been overlooked. Despite their challenges, we know they have so much love to give, and Pippa is the perfect example of that!
“Pippa has been the best girl!! She loves taking naps in odd positions, hanging in her hammock, and watching the world from the catio. She still attacks the heck out of some wand toys and goes feral for a Churu. Cat TV is one of her favorite things and I’m not sure the paw prints all over the screen are ever coming off haha.
“She loves to snuggle between my legs (as close as she can without actually laying on me lol) and has quite the purr. Got her to wear a cowgirl hat for Halloween which she was NOT thrilled about lol. She’s also quite the ice cream thief if you’re not paying attention (learned that the hard way).
“Love, love, love her :))”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Lauren who adopted Biggy (now Bo) this past January!
“My partner and I were looking for a younger, more adaptable and easy-going male cat to join our family. We have one other cat at home and she’s quite the diva, so we wanted the next cat we welcomed into our family to be unbothered by her attitude and quiet nature — just wanting to play and enjoy life. We’re also hoping his spunky energy will help keep her young. When I met Biggy/Bo at the shelter for the first time, I knew he was seriously the perfect fit.
“He loves being at home! He follows us around and happily “helps” us do everything — sweeping the floors, rummaging through the fridge for dinner ingredients and everything in between. He is so playful and has the zoomies often. We got him a tunnel he loves to plow through and surprise attack his toys/one of us. He is also very vocal so the bathroom is one of his favorite spots where he can listen to the echo of his meows which is so funny and cute. He and his sister still aren’t completely introduced to one another yet — they are separated by a gate in our big hallway, but have had a few positive interactions as of late. We knew it would take some time with our diva girl to warm up to such a rambunctious little guy, so we’re taking it super slow.
“Bo’s favorite toy is his fish toy on a stick string that he’ll bring over to us to wave around the living room. I purchased it the first day I brought him home, so he’s had it since then. He also loves his red panda stuffed animal…it makes a crinkling noise that he finds intriguing. We’ve brought him to the vet twice now for a first time check up and to follow up on some loose stools he had been having in the shelter that persisted for a little while, but everything is resolved now after some probiotics and slow transition to kitten food!
“Bo is so wonderful and fun, he is my best friend. Thank you for providing me with such a great companion. Our little family is perfect!”
