Happy Mature Meower Monday everyone, you can call me Vino! I'm 15 years old and I'm a handsome orange boy!

I came to the Hermitage in January of 2025. I'm a very friendly boy, and I'll usually introduce myself when you come in to visit! Most often I'm up on the catwalk, lazing in a cubby or looking for a warm sunbeam to nap in. Once I've noticed you though, I'll stand right up to introduce myself and chat with you!

My favorite time of day is lunch time. I absolutely LOVE food, and I'll follow our volunteers or staff around until they give me my bowl! As much as I love food, all I really want is a human of my own to spend time with! I want someone to chat with me, and cuddle with me, and give me all the pets I could ever want. I have to share with all the other cats here, but I would love to have you all to myself!

Medical: I have FIV, but don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds! The staff is more than happy to answer any questions you may have before you bring me home.

Picture this: a rescue cat, curled up safe and warm, paws tucked beneath them in that perfect "loaf" position. Those soft little toe beans—safe, content, and cared for 😻
That's the moment your generosity creates.

For 60 years, The Hermitage has been a place of second chances. Every day, we provide shelter, medical care, nourishment, and love to cats who need us most. And every day, supporters like you make it possible 💜🧡

Make a gift of $100 or more during our Giving Tuesday campaign, and we'll send you a pair of adorable, cozy cat socks as our thank-you gift 🧦 https://bit.ly/49xmT8u

Good morning, I’m Fabiana! I’m 8 years old and I’m a petite house panther!

You can come meet me over at ! My favorite thing to do is hang out up high and observe from above. You can frequently find me curled up with a friend in one of the beds. You'll know you've found me when you see my cute bobbed tail. I get along well with a lot of the other cats and I'm a popular nap buddy! I'm still slightly shy, but if you have food or treats, I might come over to say hi!

Once I am comfortable with you, I'm a sweet love bug and will give headbutts. I also really like being brushed. If I really fancy you, you'll hear my sweet purrs of love and see my famous "elevator butt" and when you give me butt scratches! I'm just waiting for my human, someone patient and understanding to make me feel comfortable opening up on my own.

Happy FeLV Friday, my name is Fairchild! I am an 8 month old beautiful panther girl!

I came to the Hermitage in April of 2025 as a stray. You can usually find me relaxing out on the catio. I am a pretty laid back lady! The other cats are okay, but I mostly do my own thing. I love to sunbathe and nap in cozy cubbies.

If you let me give your hand a good sniff, I will let you pet me! Ideally, we just hang out while you pet my gorgeous black fur. I love a good ear scratch, I will start purring in your hands! Once I decide we are besties, I might even climb into your lap.

Medical: I am FeLV+ but don't worry, I'm doing great! The staff is more than happy to answer any questions you may have before bringing me home.
