Successful Adoption Stories
We are so grateful to the hundreds of families and individuals each year who welcome one of the Cat Care Society cats into their homes. Check up on how the cats are doing now and see the positive impact that these adopters made on our furry friends.

“We were looking for an adult cat, and we were open to older adults and/or cats with certain special needs. We chose Calista and Luna because they seemed to warm up to us, despite shelter staff’s observations that they weren’t particularly social otherwise. We also were concerned that their age made them less adoptable, so since we liked them it seemed like a win-win for them and us! Honey’s charming and quirky personality, as well as her age (maybe a senior?), prompted us to add to our adoption list after we chose Calista and Luna.
“Since Calista and Luna arrived a couple days after Honey, Calista has made it known that she would prefer Honey not be there. She stares her down, stalks her at times, and chases her. There’s some growling and hissing from both at these times and we promptly intervene when this happens. To keep everyone safe and as emotionally secure as we can, we have designated our spare bedroom for Calista to use with the door closed when we are sleeping or out of the house. Her room includes food, water, and a litter box. Honey chooses to spend most of her time in our upstairs living area, where she has access to food, water, litter box, and her cat tree. We have also purchased a plug in pheromone to help everyone chill out a little bit. We are hoping that with time and patience everyone will at least tolerate each other.
“Calista and Luna enjoy going to their home office with Nick. All 3 are very chatty and sociable with us. Honey enjoys spending time at the top of her cat tree, on our shoulders, participating in home workouts, and plays a lot with mouse toys. All 3 cats play with a wand toy when we are supervising them. Luna and Honey love the Hill’s canned food that was sent home with them. They eat it twice per day and always finish it. Calista is a bit pickier. She likes some of the Friskies canned food that was sent home with her, and does not like Hill’s canned food at all. We are still determining Calista’s favorite flavors and styles of Friskies (and trying to keep Luna out of it!). All 3 cats like the Hill’s dry food and eat a lot of it every day. We got a couple water fountains for them, after we noticed Honey tipping over bowls of water. Since that purchase, they all drink a good amount of water throughout the day. They are using the litter box as expected given their incredible food and water intake. We have no concerns about eating, drinking, or using the litter box.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Gabriella who adopted Eclipse (now Tizzy) in March 2026. Gabriella came to CCS not looking for any type of cat!
“At first it was rough—she was hiding and would not come around. Now she is always right by you!
“We absolutely just love her so much—she is a cuddle bug and your feet are never safe!! She loves to be right next to you even in the bathroom, she doesn’t leave your side!! I couldn’t have asked for a better friend than her. Thank you guys again for everything with her.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Irene who adopted Lily Pad this past March! Irene wasn’t looking for any particular kind of cat when she came to CCS but made a great connection with Lily Pad!
“She has had no issues using her litter box and eating and drinking regularly. She’s very shy but has been getting more comfortable each day.
“Despite her anxious behavioral waiver, Lily is slowly but surely getting more comfortable and investigating more each day. She loves her scratching post and Churus have been the perfect treat to help her open up!
“Thank you for rescuing Lily and keeping her safe and healthy. I am so excited to have her join my life!”
Thank YOU, Irene!

We have an #adoptionupdate from Arsalan who adopted Tiny Tina (now Goli Khanum) in December 2024. Arsalan wasn’t looking for a particular type of cat but found a great match at CCS!
“She adjusted well, it took about a year for her to get used to me and allow me to pet her but she fell in love with my tom cat Mirza very quickly, and that led her to adjust to us. She now allows me to pick her up and pet her regularly.
“She is doing well, her eating, sleeping are all regular. She is 10 lbs and has a very small frame. She loves chasing her toys and playing with her ball tower, and her other friend Termeh.”

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!”
