Nimble Nimbus only needs 3 legs to do what others need 4â for! Our incredible grey tuxedo tri-pod is a fun feisty free spirit who is known to bite the hand that feeds her, or pets her, albeit very softly. Playful and goofy, she gets along with all creatures great and small: human, feline and dog varieties. But do know she will run any home she is in! Her best friend is a handsome fluffy fella named Flanagan. When not zooming around all corners of the rescue, she spends her quiet afternoons cleaning Flan's forehead and then chomping his ears, so if you are looking for an instant feline family the two of them would keep you entertained for many years to come. Wanna watch her work out on our cat wheel? Stop by and watch as she picks up more speed than youâd think possible!

His BFF is a tri-pod named Nimbus! You can often find them grooming and fighting just like family does. A more purrfect pair is not possible. Come by Sante DâOr and see why for yourself!

Lady Grey is many things. She is beautiful and super fluffy of course, but also incredibly goofy and playful! Laser toys bring out the kitten in this mostly dignified older lady and she has yet to meet a treat that she would not eat! She is particular, so we do believe she is best suited as the only feline of the manor, but we promise you she is all the cat you need. Sheâs petite, polite and pretty, because she a true Lady. Prepare your best manners and come to the rescue to meet her.

Though still quite young Chandler was already a seasoned street mama in her pre-Santé DâOr life. Our pretty and petite grey tuxedo lady is still learning how to be an indoor kitty, so she is not going to be the ideal fit for every home. Sheâs looking for a quiet and loving home with an easy-going human who wants to watch her grow into the cat she is meant to be. She is still quite nervous, but she has a gentle fan club holding quiet & cozy meetings to teach her the perks of the great indoors. Put on your slippers and join her club!

Domingo is a handsome brown tabby sweetheart. Affectionate and goofy, heâll roll over ad give you his belly. Want to get his purr motor rumbling? All you need to do is to pet the stripy guy. Sure, he can be shy when you first approach him, but once he loves you he loves you forever. Heâs a quiet fella so heâll probably prefer a quiet home where he can build up his confidence. Have another cat? Thatâs great with Domingo! But heâs also happy to be center stage. Visit the rescue and give him focused attention and we promise you will fall in love with this delightful dude.

Sweet little Jill Paws can be nervous at first, but if you give her love and time she blossoms into a wonderful kitty. This beautiful buff girl also has a white pendant and an ear tip (which just means she was rescued from the streets). Our young Jill does have the softest fur you have felt. And while she will make you work for it before you touch it for yourself, we promise you it will be worth it. She gets along great with other cats, especially her pal Jack, but we also think sheâd be a wonderful only kitty for the right home. Meet our special gal pal in person at the rescue.
Young, Female, Medium
Curious, playful and handsome, our Jack Paws is the total dark-red-headed package. This guy has energy to burn⦠and he does! Looking for a high jumping feather professional? This guy is Olympic quality! Heâs a young cat, so heâll need a playmate to hang out with, or a human (or humans!) whoâll like to engage in lots of playtime with their cat. Heâs an excellent snuggler and will make any home happier just by having him in it. Interested in this bright ginger fella? Visit him at Santé DâOr.

Our big olâ boy Ballou is really a gorgeous guy. Affectionate, outgoing, and confident we know in the right home heâll really come into his own. He does seem to be a solo artist, so heâd prefer to be your one and only, but a kitty like him is ALL the fluff you will need. He came to us heavily matted, fearful of brushing and required a professional very short lion-cut. He is now a truly stunning and fluffy beast, who needs a patient person to reintroduce him to regular, gentle brushing and general handsomeness maintenance as his coat grows back out. He does have a history of improper bathroom usage, so his patient, loving home must also be fastidious in litterbox cleaning. Will you be his fur-stylist, home decorator, and friend? If so, come by and offer him a consultation and/or treat.

Q T Pi arrived at the rescue from a difficult hoarding situation... on March 14th, Pi Day!
Though she is now settling in nicely, she HATED being in any kind of enclosure so much, with repeated rubbing up against bars, she turned the tip of one of her ears inside out! We think this only adds to her cuteness, but is also something to keep in mind for planning how to share space with other cats, trips to the vet, and so on. She is also on a special diet to keep her delicate senior digestive system in good shape. We think she is about 12; plenty of years of fun and cuteness in store for the family who would like to share their home (preferably without kittens, human or feline) with a valiant and sweet survivor!

Tiny little I-O-Ne has a tale to tell! This petite senior lady came to us from a difficult hoarding situation. She is now very happy to have a space to roam and call her own here at the rescue. She is SUPER affectionate and loves to be brushed. But she does have her special priorities: she doesn't like a lot of loud noise or lots of quick or rough play, so children (both human and feline) are not for her, though other adult cats are fine. What is for her? Special treats, laps, and soft bristle brushes. Also, compliments and high perches to survey her Queendom from. She'd love some appreciation from you!

Can you handle this level of handsome and this level of cuddle? Our Sam Niko invites you to try. Wanna rub his belly? He will let you! Rub those big ol' cheeks and let him fall asleep holding your arm! He is truly a dreamy low key love muffin. But please be aware he has a sensitive soul and really does not like being left along for significant periods of time. So people who travel a lot are not a good fit. Interested in meeting out gentle ginger giant? Stop by the rescue and say hi.

His hobbies include taking long naps, looking out of windows and some good old fashioned lap cuddles. We hope you have plenty of space because you'll want to take his sister Ursula too.

Beautiful petite Naomi came to us when she and two other cats had to be given up by their elderly owner. The other two were quickly adopted, but at that point poor Naomi was not in very good shape. She had recurring skin and ear conditions that clearly were making her itchy and miserable, and her coat was matted and patchy.
Over the months, we tried to solve her issues, but nothing worked for long. Finally through much investigation with the vet, it seems she was allergic to, among other things, grain... and fleas! With some ongoing skin and ear treatments, our flea-free environment, and a raw meat diet, she is now truly on the mend! The gorgeous and sweet tiny lioness she always was inside has come out for all to see.
She is happy to be with the people and other cats of the rescue mixing and mingling with everyone on adoption days (though kittens are not her fave). If you are willing to stick with her special diet (it's easy! and available at most pet supply stores), Naomi might be the lovely and fluffy lady for you!

Enjoy morning cuddles with a sweet and mature little lady? Gracie might just be your cup of tea! Her hobbies include looking out the window, napping and watching tv with you! As our dilute calico lady came to us declawed, she's looking for a relaxed and calm household with no animals and preferably no small humans. And because she's been known to have some tummy issues in the past dietary consistency is key, and of course a clean litter box is a must!
Good at self play, she's independent, but also very cuddly on her terms, especially in the am. She's still new to the rescue from foster, so we're seeing more of her shy side right now. Ask to meet her and her adorable bob-tail!

Looking for a fuzzy best friend? Someone who thinks you are the cat's pajamas? Well your searching days are over because Maverick would love to love you! This snuggly, chatty guy really loves spending time with his humans, so if you work from home and are looking for a companion this guy has your lap covered! Like to boop noses? He loves getting booped! Want to crawl under the covers? He's gonna join you. Cats aren't his thing and we don't think other animals would be either, so he's be best suited for a single cat household. Humans though, he adores, so expect him to request pets from all his visitors. He can be a bit of a handful sometimes, but it is a handful of love and adoration.
Please note that Maverick lives in a foster home, so we'll need to schedule a special visit in order for you to meet him!

Our gorgeous medium haired tortoiseshell girl has a coat that is filled with seemingly every possible fur color and it is almost as unique as her personality! A climber, a hider and an avid bird watcher, she enjoys playing and cuddling just as much as any cat and also enjoys some quality alone time. Because she is all the cat you need we think she'd prefer to be all the cat you have, so an only cat life for her! A conversationalist when talked to, a simple head scratch can win over her affection. Swing by the rescue and meet our fluffy lady! You will be glad you did!

Handsome, intelligent and playful, this grey stripy monarch is looking to rule your roost. A young royal, King George, is into all the good things in life like food, play and love, but all on his terms of course. Because his majesty deserves all the attention we think that he would prefer to be an only cat, but if you have an extremely loyal feline subject in your house he might acquiesce to sharing a kingdom. Come and meet and then fall in love with his royal highness King George. He is one of a kind.

Tabby boy Wonder Cat is learning how to be an indoor kitty, so he is looking for someone with patience and love.

Timid sweetheart Lapis can take her time, but she is worth the wait! If you have the time and the treats she'll soon be purring and rolling over. You have other cats? Great!

In fact, although he can come across as shy at first our guy Murray loves everyone and everyone loves him. Heâs just naturally charming.

Tortoiseshell Lady Longcat is incredibly selective. Beautiful and refined, this slightly older cat is looking for the right person to call home. Not just anyone will do! She can be nervous when you first meet her, but if you take the time to get to know her you will see exactly how remarkable she is. After some time with us at the rescue, her friendly side is beginning to come out: she is now offering head-bumps and side-sweeps to her most loyal subjects, and will accept her favorite treats from even new visitors to her realm.
As unique as her markings, Lady Longcat would very much like to live on her own with you to serve, honor, and protect her.

Sashimi is an incredible and very handsome cat! Mysterious and aloof, heâd prefer to judge you from a far, but if you have patience, and more importantly treats, heâll come and meet you in person and let you pet him. Heâs not the cuddliest of cats, but that just makes the love he gives more special because you have to earn it. He enjoys being up high, so heâd love for you to have some shelves he can perch on as well as comfy beds to nap on. Heâd probably be okay if you have other cats if given time and a proper introduction, but for the most part heâd rather be alone.

This handsome guy came to us with a nasty wound on his side and a seizure condition, but after some intensive TLC, he's now right as rain!

Ms Honey Rider is all her own woman. She is friendly when she wants, and a loner when she wants, too. A recurring skin condition made her cranky at first, but is now well-treated. Every so often, a bit of irritation will return-- and so will her irritation!
But mostly she is a content and funny lady, happy to find a cozy perch from which to judge all the wacky goings-on. When the mood strikes, she joins in and surprises us all!

Beautiful Sylvia loves her wigwam for "getting away from it all" in the hubbub of a busy rescue, but if you come to her and give her a gentle warm greeting, turns out she is full of interest and affection! She will even walk up onto the shoulder of a person who really grabs her fancy.
Sylvia will probably always need the ability to find a little "alone time" when needed, but she is a really great, mellow, and truly poetical girl.

Affectionate, playful, smart and just the most delightfully bit sassy she is seeking a loving home with plenty of treats! Please note that our girl is FIV+, but sheâs very healthy. Sheâd do best in a home where she can be an only kitty, with other FIV+ kitties or with non-aggressive cats. (NOTE: FIV cannot be transmitted to other animals or humans: it is only a concern between cats, and even so is primarily passed through blood, not saliva or air; so most FIV+ cats can expect smooth and happy adoptions, just like our other cats!)

This dilute calico is an independent and sassy lady who knows what she wants and what she wants is a nice, quiet calm house where she can take her time to shine. Affectionate with those she likes and aloof with those she doesn't, Moxie would not thrive in a loud home.

Sabrina is our tailless wonder! She came to us after being hit by a car-- at 6 weeks old she had major surgery, and the surgery to remove her tail left her with some nerve damage, poor little girl! The little puff on her rear only makes her cuter, though-- like a bunny/cat hybrid. She is a friendly, sweet cat who has an unassuming nature and enjoys being petted, especially on her chubby round cheeks.
The surgery left her with some residual quirks that mean Sabrina likes to potty in an extra water bowl in her cage, and sometimes needs help getting her bottom totally clean, but she does not have accidents and knows what she's doing even if we don't. Sabrina would make a great pet for an experienced cat owner or a first timer despite these minor inconveniences, though, given her gentle nature. She gets along with other animals as easily as she does with people!
