Gumball
Gumball is a great cat and a perfect fit for our household. We are crazy about him! Our house is his jungle gym, he prowls all over the beams and climbs the ladders and makes daring leaps from place to place — a veritable acrobat. He has our dogs eating out of his hand. He's a great mouser. He loves his people and loves attention, as you can see from his big smile when he gets a head rub. He just amuses us to no end. I'm so glad I checked your website the first day he was on it!

Rascal now Magnus
We adopted Rascal (now Magnus) a week ago. He is such a great cat! Just settled in like he has been here forever as far as being a big lovebug. He and our other cat, Reyka, are still figuring things out. But he is super with our dogs. I know kittens are so cute and adorable, but we like taking adult cats.

Laney now Clover
Clover was adopted in August 2023 after we moved to Maine and has since become the biggest source of joy in our home. She’s the perfect blend of affectionate and playful and silly. She loves to watch the birds, lay in a sun patch and hide behind corners to scare us. Her greatest love is playing under the Christmas tree and knocking off all the ornaments though. She’s the most vocal cat and nothing makes us happier than her greeting us when we get home. We had a great experience adopting from AWS and can’t image life without Clover.

Tabby now Tappan Zee
Yes, she is named after the bridge over the Hudson River. Apparently she originally came from upstate New York and spend a fair bit of time in the animal shelter system. It took about a year, a year and a half, for her to warm up to us. Even though she tries to hide it, she loves us. She’s a pretty great cat (but don’t tell her I said that).
