Meet May! May is currently in foster but will need a place to stay while her foster mom is out of town. Her foster mom mentioned "She hides behind the blinds most of the time, but she enjoys watching the birds from the windows. I am on meds twice a day.  When I remain sitting down for a while, she'll come out and ask for pets and scent mark the surroundings, even rolling around; and this happens multiple times of the day depending on how often I remain seated, and each session lasts about 10 minutes. When I'm in the same room as her, she won't come out to eat immediately, but will wait until I no longer move or make some noises. And she quickly hides after she eats some portion of the food. She likes wet food. Initiating playing toys still scares her. At night when I'm at the other side of the room, she'll come out and explore a little bit, showing some interest in the environment, playing with random stuff on the floor, and sometimes she sleeps in the cat cube bed."

Cinderella is currently in foster. Her foster parents will be heading out of town so we'll need someone to take over her care, as she is fearful in a shelter setting. Cinderella is a bit shy at first, but don't let that fool you. Once she warms up, she's as cuddly as they come. Her sweet demeanor is sure to melt your heart. Cinderella has a particular fondness for bird videos, providing endless entertainment. However, she prefers a calm environment, as sudden movements can startle her. Her favorite pastime? Playing with her cat dancer toy, a simple pleasure that brings her immense joy.
