We have an #adoptionupdate from Mia who adopted Miss Kitty (now Cowgirl) this past July! They weren’t looking for a specific type of cat when they came into the shelter, just one that pulled at their heartstrings.
“She’s adjusting perfectly, we already have an older cat named Moose and they are getting along great!
“She’s been surprisingly eating a great amount lol she loves all kinds of toys and she’s super playful.
“Thank you for taking care of our girl before she had her forever home <3.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Terra who adopted Twinkle (now Gremlin) this past June! Terra had been looking online and saw some good candidates but chose Gremlin because of how friendly and affectionate he was.
“He has settled in amazingly, he loves his cat scratchers and loves to play fetch! It’s so funny to see him chasing after his Kong, if you ignore him and don’t throw it again he will bite your hand, so we are working on patience manners!

We have an #adoptionupdate from Sedona who adopted Arthur (now Finneas) this past June! Sedona came to the shelter looking for a long-haired cat and found Finneas waiting!
“Finneas loves to sleep, play and get allll the attention. His favorite toys are rope toys and balls with bells, he loves his scratchers and his cat tree. He’s quite the talker and is always yapping when he wants attention or food. He’s also quite the beggar and wants everything I’m eating.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Annette who adopted Koala (now Cooper) this past May! Annette came to CCS looking for an older, short-haired male cat, but Cooper stole her heart! He was skittish and frightened, but then he came out from his hiding place, let her pet him, did some roly-polys and she knew he was coming home with her.
“Cooper was very frightened and hid for what seemed to be days on end, only coaxing him out of his hiding spots in the room with patience and treats. He’d give me a little tiny hiss but then head butt me for scratches and soft pets for a minute or two and then back to hiding. I thought this is going to take quite some time for him to trust, but has come so far very quickly. He is now a curious, playful, happy young boy who follows me everywhere.
“Cooper is a good eater and is growing by the day. He uses his litter box faithfully. He loves to snuggle and be petted, and believe it or not, he likes to be brushed. I wasn’t sure if I could ever brush that big fluffy tail. He purrs the whole time I’m brushing him. He runs and plays all through the house with his toys. He loves climbing one very tall scratching post to groom himself while sitting atop it. And oh my gosh toy wands! He’s nuts for them and tends to gather them all in one place or another ha ha! He only uses his scratching posts, never the furniture. He’s a very smart little guy.
“I’m looking forward to many years with this boy. Thank you for allowing me to adopt Cooper!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Hanna who adopted Bob and Pearl in October 2023. They had recently lost their senior cat and were looking for a bonded pair of kittens. Bob and Pearl were from the same litter, they saw them sleeping together in a kitten room at CCS, and knew they had to bring them home!
“We moved to Kansas about 6 months ago and they are absolutely loving their new home. We are so happy to give them more space to explore and play with each other. They love to look out the windows and watch all of the critters in the backyard.
“Bob and Pearl are the best cats we could’ve asked for. They love to play with string toys, springs, and each other! They love their crunchy treats and their Churus. Bob is the biggest cuddle bug and has never met a stranger. Pearl is our hunter and protector, but has really opened up to us as she’s gotten older.
“We adopted Bob and Pearl when they were 3.5 months old and we are about to celebrate their 2nd birthdays on 7/15! They make our house a home and we built a catio specifically for them to enjoy the outdoors!”
Please wish Bob and Pearl a happy birthday from all of us at CCS!

We have an #adoptionupdate from Janette who adopted Mayan (now Luca) this past April! Janette came to the shelter looking for a black kitten and she found one!
“He is adjusting very well with his sister ‘Esme,’ who we adopted from you, too!
“Luca loves toys and cuddles with me and his partner in crime, Esme. He is eating well and loves running around and making Esme chase him.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Cas who adopted Casper (now Toast)! They were looking for a social cat who could be a buddy to their cat, Thelma. Thelma was beginning to show signs of loneliness so they wanted to adopt a second kitty to give her some companionship.
“Toast was definitely shy when we brought him home. He was very shy and did not like to be touched, but after a week of gentle introductions to us and Thelma, he started to come out of his shell! He has adjusted well to our home and is still gaining courage and overcoming his shyness.
“He has been doing really well! He loves to snuggle all day and night, and play with our other cat. He only had a few teeth and limited vision, but neither of his conditions hold him back from being a goofy, lovable cat! He is VERY chatty and expresses himself through lots of meowing, chirping, and making small noises- he always has something to say! He enjoys playing with small shiny toys, and trying to steal food right off of our plates.
“We would like to thank CCS for taking the time to meet his medical needs before we brought him home. He was definitely in pain for a while there due to having multiple teeth pulled, but he is enjoying life now! We would like others who are interested in adopting cats with disabilities like Toast’s to not be afraid—many cats (like Toast!) live really normal lives!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Alyssa who adopted Bella this past April! Alyssa wasn’t looking for any particular kind of cat when she visited CCS but Bella was the right fit and has adjusted very well!
“She was eating and drinking just fine and using her litter box as soon as I brought her home. She seemed very happy right away.
“She’s been doing wonderful. When I adopted her she was having a severe allergy issue and I’m happy to say that with the medication and prescription food it has cleared up. Her paws have stopped hurting and have cleared up, her hair stopped coming out in small clumps, and she is no longer super itchy. Bella is also at a healthy weight and is eating very well. She loves to cuddle and is always on my lap when I’m reading, gaming, or doing homework. She hops in bed with me every night as well and snuggles up with my hand all night long.
“She loves lounging around on her favorite chair and even comes to my church and hangs out every once in a while when I’m working on things. The only downside is I’m pretty sure many of my friends now only come over to snuggle with her rather than hang out with me :).
“I’m so grateful the Cat Care Society put so much effort into treating her so that once I brought her home she would be set up for success. She’s such a wonderful cat and deserves a fun and happy life despite her health issues.”
Thank you, Alyssa! We appreciate your kind words and for giving Bella such a loving home.

We have an #adoptionupdate from Karli who adopted Mirabella (now Isabella Bébé, Izzy for short) this past May! Karli was thinking of getting a kitten since she hadn’t had one in 15 years as she had just lost her little lady in January. After a few visits to shelters to give some cats some love that may need extra affection and love, she came to CCS and appreciated that we have wonderful cats to adopt at all ages and stages of life.
“Izzy is so in love with her new life. She has been thriving and she’s quite the affectionate cuddle monster! She follows me into every room and is right by my side. She loves crawling up to my face and snuggling my nose. She has such a sweet loving soul.
“Izzy loves using me as a jungle gym and she’s quite active after she’s had her au jus chicken or salmon food. She loves playing with her catnip banana and looking outside when I have my front door open. She loves basking in the sun!
“Thank you CCS for creating such a relaxed environment to roam and cuddle the cats in your shelter. The staff was informative and answered ANY questions I had in regards to her records, her health and the whole adoption process. I’m so grateful to know you all!”
We appreciate YOU Karli and your kind words!
