When One Is Enough

Are you looking to have just one pet?  Do you want that special pet to be a cat?  While many cats enjoy (or may even need) the company of their own kind, some cats do best on their own. 

CCS has several cats who would be purrfect as an only pet in the home:

Maren is a sweet female black and white cat.  She has a unique coat with individual white hairs throughout her black fur.  She is mild tempered and enjoys sitting on a lap or being petted while sitting in a cozy bed.  She can be a bit sensitive if you pet her along her left side as she has two bbs and some buckshot in her.  She is a good player and likes to play with balls or chase toy mice.  She tends to stay away from the other cats in her room whenever possible and will swat and hiss at them if they come too close.  As an only cat in a calm home she would be the perfect companion.

Veronica is a tabby striped cat and friendly with people.  She likes to be petted and will rub against a person’s legs to get their attention.  She does get testy with the other cats in her room and would love a place of her own.  She has a feisty feline attitude and will let you know when she wants attention or to be left alone.
 

Magnolia is a beautiful dark-colored tortoiseshell cat.  She hisses at most of the other cats in her room.  When you spend some time one on one with her she curls up in your arms and purrs.  She is a very sweet and beautiful girl.

Sparkle is a nice calico cat who loves attention.  She is timid around other cats and finds their company to be stressful.  She spends most of her time on a shelf or cat stand away from the others.  Spend some time with her and she will give you head-butts.  She has a distinctive meow and a loud purring motor.

Hyacinth has a medium-length coat in a mix of cream, brown and tan.  She is declawed on all four feet which may contribute to her distinctive personality.  She can be very affectionate, giving head-butts and wanting lots of attention.  However, when she is done with attention, she will make sure that you know!  She does so by swatting you with her paws.  It is best to take heed or she may come up with other ways to make her wants known.  Hyacinth would not be a good choice for a family with young children.  She requires someone who will take the time to learn her signs and likes a cat with attitude.

Roberta loves people and enjoys getting head rubs and lying in a cozy bed in the window.  She likes attention and is fond of being held or sitting next to you.  Being surrounded by other cats makes her very nervous.  Roberta would love to find a home where she could relax and receive the love she deserves.  Roberta has the best raspy meow and currently is able to roam the halls and office of the shelter on her own which appears to make her more content.
