Meet Stasia. She is available through our rescue partner Treasured Animal Rescue
Hi! My Name Is Stasia
I'm Available
Hello, my name is Stasia and I'm about 1 1/2 years old. I'm a pretty grey tabby but some silvery highlights. My photos don't capture my beauty. I look too serious. I'm actually camera shy. I always wonder why my foster Mom takes so many pictures of us kitties. So, to see my prettiness I guess you're going to have to meet me. Check out all my beautiful photos on Treasured Animal Rescue's website!

When you meet me, you will meet the most confident and friendliest kitty of them all. I love affection and people. I like to be around you all the time especially when you are cooking or working on your computer. I'm very curious - my foster Mom calls me nosy. Sure, I'm nosy but that's how I become smart. See, I'm not just a beauty but I'm a smart cookie!

I've been around dogs and I've learned some of their traits. No, I don't bark but when I see something that I need to alert my foster Mom I let out a little growl. One day Amazon was delivering and it was dark outside. I saw him because of my penetrating cat eyes so I let my foster mom know someone's on the porch. She calls me her watch kitty. I think I was growling because 1) there's a box on the porch and I must play with it or 2) I'm alerting her to something new. I think both.

Speaking of play - I love to play! I love to play with other cats and my toys. I like to help other foster kitties that are shy or scared to come out of hiding. I tell them in my silent way "just watch me and I can show you how much fun being a cat can be!

I make my foster Mom laugh every day. My pictures may look serious but I like to be silly.

I love to play chase with the other cats. My silly trick is I run around and then slide under a rug so they can't find me. I then jump out and I'm the Chaser. If nobody wants to play with me that's ok, I then find a little ball or even better - when a dog drops their kibble, I play with that. It goes under my favorite rug and there I am again hiding and then jumping out.

I like laundry day. I like when my foster Mom is in between in folding towels. Towels straight from the dryer is my nap place.

Quiet time, I'm hanging out in a cat tree or a bed with other fur-babies. I'm good with dogs too.

I like the days when the doors & windows are open, and I can feel the fresh air. I never want to go outside but I like to look out the door or window. I like looking out the front door and watch the birds or squirrels eat. I stand on my 2 back legs like a dog does and checkout what they are doing. Maybe when I look out the front door, I'm looking for my forever family to come meet me or maybe that Amazon guy for more boxes.

Are you my forever Mom or Dad? I hope so and I hope we can meet soon!

xoxo,

Stasia,

Meet Po & Thumper. They are a bonded pair available for adoption through Treasured Animal Rescue.

Hi, my name is Po, and I am 1 years old. Thank you for reading my rescue story. Pull up a chair and I'll tell you my short story.

I was born on someone's porch and the nice family took care of me, my siblings and Mama until we were big enough to be separated from our mom.

I went into a foster home where I learned to live with other cats and Humans. Boy, my foster Humans take good care of me. They know how to make me happy - kitty treats!

I am a short haired kitty girl with a grey tail, and I have some grey spots on my head. I look like my mom and I think I got my Mama’s bravery. I'm a friendly kitty and I like when people come over as I get to know them. I might seem shy at first, but I will sneak my way onto your lap. I hope when we meet you give me the chance to get to know you as I might seem shy at first. I like to be petted, have my pretty coat brushed and of course, don't forget those treats!

I like to lounge in a window seat, snuggle with my sibling or even with my foster family’s cats. You might see in my pictures I am quite photogenic, and my sister is with me in some of them. You might see some of my pictures with my sister Thumper. I love my sister and of course, the other kitties that live here in my foster home. There's times we just have a big kitty pile and groom each other. When you come over to my foster home and you will see me & Thumper being BFS - best furry sisters. Maybe you would think of adopting us both but if not, that's ok too. I just hope I have another kitty friend in my new home to help me with my transistion.

Hope to meet you!

Po

Hello! They call me Thumper. I am 1 years old, and I am a medium haired grey kitty girl. I'm somewhat shy but if you give me time and know how to bribe me (kitty treats!) I will be on your lap.

I've learned while being in my foster home that the other kitties come to my foster family for affection. I say to myself “Oh, I wish I could do that too”. I watch and watch and guess what? I have started to come around and be closer to people in the past week. One day I got so brave I hopped on my foster Moms lap when she was watching TV. They call that baby steps but for a shy girl like me it's like one giant step. I like it when my foster Mom brushes my pretty fur. That's how my coat is so shiny and healthy. Also, I like it when me & my sister Po plus the other kitty girls hang out together. We have one big kitty pile and we groom each other. Got to stay pretty so our family's can see us.

I hope when you come to visit me and choose me as your new pet my new family will be understanding on my shyness and can understand that time & patience for me to come to you. I know you'll have a lap waiting for me.

I’ll tell some secrets my foster Mom learned about me to build my trust. Classical music calms down and I LOVE Made by Nacho treats, well really any treats get this girl motivated!

Know what I also love? My sister Po. You might have seen the pictures of me cuddling with a white kitty. That's Po. She's braver than me and I hope when a family comes to meet me, they can also meet Po and maybe we can go together. Two kitties are a blast to have and I will always have a best friend. Actually, I will have 2 BFs - my sister and my new family!

Meet Gaia. She is part of Treasured Animal Rescue.

Hello, my name is Gaia, and I am about year old. I'm a pretty young Tuxedo girl that loves to be around people. I'm a quiet girl that will hang out by you or on your lap. I like it when my foster Mom hangs out on the couch because I know it's cuddle time. I sit on her lap or on the arm of the couch. She brushes my fur and tells me nice stories of my forever family that is waiting to meet me.

I'm in a foster home that has other cats and dogs. I don't mind the dogs. There are some that bark or chase me and I just stay out of their way. But I am curious about their food. At nighttime, I sleep in my foster Mom's bed with her dog and another Tuxedo kitty. Sometimes my foster Mom can't tell us apart so that's why I wear a pretty bow on my collar.

During the day I hang out in a cat tree or look out a window. But my favorite spot is where my foster Mom is. I love it when she's on the computer and I lie by her. She gives me an occasional belly rub. But watch out! I like to sit on the keyboard. Maybe I'm sending a message to you?

I also love to enjoy your food. I love food but I'm not aggressive with the other cats for food. I share my food and treats because I know when it's my turn I have all the food I want. I like to share the mealtime with my foster Mom. She knows I love chicken but might seem silly, but I also love butter. Butter on toast or bagel - kitty de-li-cious!

I can't wait for my family to come meet me. I love to be held and if you have kitty treats - I'm hooked! Remember chicken is my favorite.
