Meet Sailor – The Stunning, Independent Queen! 😻✨

Sailor is a gorgeous feline with a personality as captivating as her looks! She’s an independent lady who enjoys affection on her terms—expect plenty of flirty head tilts and slow blinks before she graces you with her presence. But don’t be fooled—Sailor knows exactly when she’s had enough love and will let you know with an adorable little bap or a gentle nibble. 💕🐾

Currently living with other cats, Sailor coexists peacefully but certainly enjoys her own space. With a diva streak and a penchant for being the center of attention, she would thrive best in a home without small children and with an experienced cat owner who understands her need for patience and independence. 🏡👑

Sailor’s health would benefit greatly from a specialized kidney diet due to kidney disease. This diet is essential in helping to slow the progression of her condition and keeping her comfortable and happy for as long as possible. While she is doing well, the sooner she finds her forever home, the better—consistency in her diet and stress-free surroundings will make a world of difference in her long-term health. She needs a loving human who is committed to her care and ready to give her the best chance at a healthy future. 🥣💖

If you’re ready to welcome a little sass, beauty, and charm into your life while providing the care she needs, Sailor might be your perfect match. Apply today to meet her by visiting www.ewhiskers.com/adoption! 😽❤️✨

Cowardly Lion will be ready for adoption in March and is now accepting adoption applications! He was found starving and limping in the city of Albany. The vet thought he may have been hit by a car and he required surgery to fix his leg. He's recovering well and is about to get his stitches out, which means he's packing his bags and getting ready to move to his forever home. He's sweet and gentle, and will lean in to get all the head scratches you are willing to give him. He would do best in a quiet home where his person is home more than not. He would do well in a home with another cat, but prefers a home without dogs. You can apply online at ewhiskers.com/adoption

Hi, I'm Prometheus, all of my siblings were adopted in April of 2024. But I'm not as outgoing as them so I'm still waiting to find my forever home. My foster mom wanted to post about me this Valentine's Day to see if we can find the right match for me. Here are some pros and cons about me:

Pro: I am an incredible buddy cat. I am friendly and social with other cats. I like to play and snuggle. I have spent time with my mom and 3 siblings, 4 foster siblings, and more than 10 other foster cats.

Pro: Even though I'm a little shy, I LOVE to play. I especially like chasing toys like laser pointers, string/ribbon toys, etc.

Pro: I have an excellent singing voice. I will be happy to sing to you, especially while you're doing chores or getting ready in the morning.

Pro: I am interested in hunting so I'll probably hunt any mice that make their way into your house.

Pro: I am an aspiring plumber and would like to know more about how water works! I will probably visit you in the bathroom to explore your sinks, tub, and shower.

Pro: I'm an adventurer! I have explored so many nooks and crannies in my foster house! Don't worry, I always come out to eat.

Con: Physical touch is not my love language. I'm a quality time type of guy. I don't really want you to approach me for pets but I do want to be near you.

I hope you can see that even though I'm not a touchy feely kind of guy, I'm still pretty awesome! You might even have another man like me in your life? I bet he and I would get along just fine! And just like him, as we get to know each other, I'll open up and let you in. Will you be my Valentine?

Meet Mariah and Alexandra ❤

Mariah (shorthair) and Alexandra (longhair) are 3 year old sisters looking for a new home together! These girls are just the sweetest pair you will meet and their affectionate personalities will shine once they are settled into their new home. They are both big time lap cats and love to give their human lots of kisses.

Mariah likes to be hugged while she purrs and rolls around in your arms. She is a bit of an adventurer; her favorite hobby is finding the highest lookout spot in a room, so she kindly requests that there be a nice tall cat tree in her future home... or at least some space on your bookshelf for her to perch!

Alexandra is a gentle giant with extra toes (polydactyl) giving her front paws the appearance of wearing big mittens! She absolutely loves being talked to and will shiver her tail and trill back at you, then run off to pounce on her favorite unconventional toy, a green Starbucks Splash Stick. She will need her family to take time every day to brush her lovely, thick fur, and to portion her food to help her maintain a healthy weight.

The sisters have not met dogs or children and were previously the only pets in their home. They may be best as your only cats, but might be okay with a slow introduction to an easy going cat or okay with a future kitten addition to the family.
