Meet this gorgeous girl, Gina🧡
Please share to help find Gina's forever home!

Gina is a sweet and reserved calico with a heart full of love, just waiting to find her forever home. Gina is an independent spirit who appreciates a peaceful environment and will need a bit of time to adjust to new people and surroundings. Though she can be shy at first, once she feels comfortable, she’ll show her affectionate side and become a loving companion. Gina thrives in a calm, quiet home and would do best as the only cat, where she can fully relax and bond with her humans. Due to her more reserved nature, she would be happiest in a home without children. If you're looking for a gentle and loving cat who will gradually warm up to you, Gina is the perfect match!

Gina is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Gina, please visit our website at https://thekenoracatshelter.com

Another special kitty post featuring our chatty boy, Uh-Oh🖤
Please share to help find Uh-Oh's forever home!

Uh-Oh came to us with severe head wounds from an animal attack and was suffering from blastomycosis in his eyes and wounds. He spent months recovering and learning how to adapt to becoming a fully blind cat. Now that Uh-Oh is fully recovered, and blasto negative, he is ready to find his forever home!! Uh-Oh is very talkative, and loves to have full conversations. He will pick up on sounds to follow you around the house and to find out where to step. He is very playful and loves finding toy mice around the house - he throws them up in the air and hunts them. Uh-Oh is extremely affectionate, he likes to bury his head into you and knead on your lap - purring non stop. He loves his belly being rubbed and lies on his back soaking it all in. Uh-Oh is velvet soft, and has the silkiest black coat.

Since Uh-Oh is completely blind, he will need a special owner that can take the time to teach him the layout of their house - but he is a fast learner! Uh-Oh would do best in a house without other cats as unfortunately, he can play very aggressive but he does do well with big dogs! Uh-Oh has ongoing congestion due to the injuries he suffered to his nose/forehead that crushed his nasal cavities - this gave him a really cute congested meow but he will need close monitoring of his eyes and nose for the rest of his life. This boy is an absolute gem and he would be the best cat for the right family.

Uh-Oh is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Uh-Oh, please visit our website at https://thekenoracatshelter.com

Meet our chatty girl, Stevie🖤
Please share to help find Stevie's forever home!

Named after the legendary Stevie Nicks, this fabulous tuxedo girl has just as much charm, style, and soul. With striking green eyes and a soft black-and-white coat, Stevie is a showstopper inside and out.

She’s got a lot to say (and she’ll happily tell you all about her day), but don’t worry—it’s all love songs and purrs. Stevie is endlessly affectionate, incredibly outgoing, and always up for a game or a cuddle. Whether she’s chasing toys or curling up in your lap, she brings a playful, loving energy to every room she walks into. If you’re looking for a talkative companion with a heart of gold and a rockstar spirit, Stevie’s your girl.

Stevie is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Stevie, please visit our website at https://thekenoracatshelter.com

Meet our lovely girl, Topaz💕
Please share to help find Topaz's forever home!

Topaz is a gentle, laid-back sweetheart with a quiet charm that shines once she feels at ease. She may be a little shy when you first meet her, but with patience and kindness, she’ll warm up into a loving and loyal companion. Topaz enjoys lounging in cozy spots and watching the world—and other cats—go by with calm curiosity. She's not one to be in the spotlight, but her soft presence brings warmth and comfort to any home. Topaz is currently on a urinary stress diet to reduce stress, and prevent reoccurrences of urinary infections. She may be able to come off this food once settled into a home. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate friend to share quiet moments with, Topaz is your girl.

Topaz's adoption fee has been paid for by the person who rescued her :)

Topaz is up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and dewormed. To fill out an application for Topaz, please visit our website at https://thekenoracatshelter.com
