Adopt Chaka Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female Good with Cats

Chaka is one of our more shy cats that we have at the moment. At around 7 years old, she is a beauty with a cute little half-mustache! Chaka came to us with many other cats, so we knows she enjoys some feline companionship. However, due to her shy nature, we feel that it would be best if she was in a home without dogs or young children which may frighten her. Chaka is very scared here in the shelter, but we know that an animal's behavior in a shelter is much different than in a home. Her previous owner reports that while she takes some time to earn your trust, she loved being pet and will actually come over to get your attention if you're giving it to another cat instead of her! She would love a home with another cat, since she likes to play with other cats, too. Maybe you're just looking for a friend for your current cat. If so, please consider Chaka or one of our other shy cats! Being in a home will bring out their true nature and they will be so thankful to you for rescuing them!

Adopt Eleanore Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Senior Female

Eleanore is a beautiful name for a beautiful cat! She is scared being at the shelter so we hope to find her a home soon where her adopter will help her open up and become the confidant cat that is hiding deep inside. A senior at around 12 years old, Eleanore is an FIV+ cat, which should not impact her quality of life in any way as long as she is properly cared for. You can learn more about the condition here - https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv Eleanore did come to us with several other cats that she lived with. Because of her FIV status, it would be best for her to live with other cats who are also FIV + or to be an only cat in the family. Since she is very shy, we feel that she may not do well with dogs or young children who may startle her. Eleanore is a great cat who just needs a second chance. Are you able to give it to her?

Adopt Petey Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male Good with Children Good with Cats

Petey is a sweet boy who is just a little scared being here at the shelter! Don't let his shy demeanor fool you, he has the potential to become a really great cat once he's in a home. Petey will probably hiss at you the first time he meets you - but within minutes, you can be like our receptionist Breanna pictured here, petting him with ease. Petey's previous owner reports that this 4 year old cat is choosy with kids - sometimes he will go to them and sometimes he will be more shy. We imagine he would do best with older kids who know how to be patient with him. We don't know how he is with dogs, but he does get along with the cats in our free-roam room and has previously lived with other cats. Right now we believe that Petey is becoming depressed from being in the shelter for so long. We want his new family to know that while he will be scared when they first meet him, if they have room in their hearts to give him a little time, he will become a cherished member of the family! Since Petey is on the shy side, his adopters should know to give him space and be prepared to work with him to help him gain his confidence. He would be a great companion to cats you may already have at home who need a friend! To meet Petey and learn more about him, be sure to apply at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt

Adopt Hurricane Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male

Hurricane came to us after a rough, but eventful past. He would love nothing more than to walk into your arms with a big "Hello!" - literally! He is a big talker, confirmed by both his previous owner and his foster mom! Hurricane was named because he was found on the street right before Hurricane Sandy hit. He was wandering around looking lost. The woman who manages the feral colonies in the area rushed outside where he meowed at her in greeting! She was easily able to get him in a carrier and later took him to the vet where they noticed he had a urinary infection. Because of this information we believed that he was someone's cat who they let outside because they could not cope with his urinary infection. Now, Hurricane is with us and learning how much love there is for him! We aren't sure how he is with dogs or kids, but he is incredibly affectionate towards his foster mom so we feel that he would likely do well with older kids, and kids who are calm and respectful of him. At first we noticed he wasn't getting along with other cats at the shelter, but his foster mom reports that he does well and is interested in the other cat she is fostering, so we feel that it depends on the other cat's personality as to whether or not they will get along. If your current cat has a lot of confidence, they may be a good fit! Hurricane has definitely been through a lot, but he still has so much love to give! Look at him giving his foster mom kisses! If you want to meet this handsome guy (and who wouldn't!?) fill out our adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt

Adopt Sally Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female Good with Cats

Sally is a sweet, but somewhat shy girl who came to us with several other cats. We are loving to get to know this beautiful cat here at the shelter! We hope that you will want to get to know her, too! Sally is a quiet older cat who would do best in a quiet home. We aren't sure how she would do with kids or dogs, but we think she would be ok with kids who are respectful of her and accept that she is on the more mellow side. We do know that she enjoys the company of other cats, as she came to us with 5 of her feline friends! Sally does get nervous while traveling, although her previous owner moved several times, so she may need to be reassured while in the carrier. She absolutely loves attention and if you're petting another cat, she will come up to you to get in on the action! If you want someone to keep you company, consider Miss Sally! Who wouldn't want a cat as loving as Sally in their home? You can apply for adoption at https://www.fatherjohns.org/adopt/

Shepherd - Presa Canario

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Young Female

Hey I'm Tyra and I am so happy to meet you! I came all the way from Virginia to find my new forever home. Me and 4 of my sisters made our way to Father John's. We all came from a small house who had a few too many dogs. 3 of my sisters and I found out that we were pregnant and about to have babies! The kind people here set me up in my own room so I had my privacy to have my babies. Shortly after settling in, I knew it was time to have my babies! Late one night I started to have my pups and ended up have 11 beautiful pups! Now that my puppies are starting to find their new homes, I would love to find mine as well! I am looking for an active family who can keep up with my energy level! Playing in the yard is my favorite thing to do. Nice plush toys are the best for me to throw around in the yard and after I am done, I would love to snuggle up on the couch! I am still young myself and have a lot of training that I need. Ideally, my new home would have NO other animals as I love to hog all the love for myself and coming from a home with many dogs, I still need time to adjust to other dogs again. If you think I am a good fit for your family, please fill out an application today! Considering adopting from Father Johns Animal House?

Adopt Butterscotch Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Young Female Good with Cats

Butterscotch is one of our "ice cream topping" young cats who came to us when someone's relative passed away. Because of this, we don't know much about their lives before they came to us, but we are loving to get to know these beautiful cats! We believe Butterscotch is a little over a year old. She is definitely the most shy of the group, but she is still young which means she has plenty of time to open up and learn what it means to be a great house cat! She will need an adopter who has time to be patient and work with her as she comes out of her shell. Butterscotch did come to us with her siblings and has been enjoying her free roam room, so we know she gets along with other cats, but because she know little about her past we aren't sure how she would get along with other animals, including dogs, or children. Since she's a bit shy right now we feel as though a calm home would be the best thing for her. Butterscotch may be the perfect companion to keep your current cat happy and company! If you'd like to meet this beautiful young girl, fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt

Adopt Carole Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female Good with Cats

Carole is one of the more shy cats that we currently have at the shelter. But just give her a calm home and some love and she will begin to open up to you! Carole is around 8 years old, and came to us with many other cats, so we know she gets along well with her feline friends. Due to her shy nature, we feel that it would be best if she went to a home with no dogs or young children, as they may frighten her. Although Carole is a little scared here in the shelter, we know that a cat's behavior at home is much different than in a shelter. Her former owner reports that while she is a little shy, she does love to be pet, so once she feels comfortable with you she'll be asking to be pet all the time! Carole would also make a great addition to your family if you're looking for another cat to keep your current cat company. Over time, she will grow to trust you, too!

Adopt Todd Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male Good with Cats

Todd is an 8 year old cat who is looking for a new chance at life! He is the kind of cat that takes a little patience to get him warm up to you, but once he does he will be the sweetest guy you know! He came to us with many other cats from a hoarding case, so he is very nervous being here at the shelter. We aren't sure how he would do with dogs and kids because he is scared in the shelter setting, although we feel he would do best in a calm home. He came from a home with many other cats so we know he gets along with his feline friends! Todd may be scared here at the shelter, but his previous owner reports that he was the friendliest of the cats that she surrendered to us. He will need his claws trimmed because he loves to hug his owner! He will gaze into your eyes and loves being pet! We are hopeful that getting him into a calm, steady home will bring this sweet nature out of this scared cat. This is the kind of cat where adopting him and bringing him into a steady home life will truly change his life for the better.

Adopt Faith Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Young Male

Faith is a shy young cat who needs a little time to warm up to you but when he does, he will love you and love cuddling with you! Faith is used to being in an older household without kids. Even though he is only 2 years old himself, he prefers a calmer lifestyle! Because he is on the shyer side, he doesn't always get along with other animals, and he hasn't really been exposed to kids, but we imagine he wouldn't do well with especially young kids who may be loud. When you first bring Faith into your home, you'll want to keep him in one area where there aren't many places to hide. Once you start spending time with him, he will become a lovebug who won't want to leave your side. Have faith in our sweet boy Faith! Come meet him by filling out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt and you'll want to bring him home in no time!

Adopt Dolley Today

Dolley is a girl who knows what she wants! She might be an older woman at around 10 years old, but she has a fiesty side for sure! Dolley came to us with many other cats, so we know she gets along with her feline friends, although it seems she can pick and choose her friends. Because she is a little on the shy side and will sometimes show that fiesty side, we feel that she would not do well with dogs or young children. Dolley would do best with an experienced cat owner. Right now, she is nervous at the shelter, so we hope to find her a home soon with someone who can see past her shy behavior to the great cat that she can be, and work with her until she is comfortable in your home. Her previous owner reports that she enjoys petting once she gets to know you, but will show signs of when she's had enough of being pet. And don't let her age fool you - she still likes to play!

Adopt Mystique Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female Good with Cats

Mystique is our longest kitty resident! She has been here since January when she came in with her family, all of which were polydactyls (meaning this girl has an extra toe on each paw!) and named after the X-Men. Now, Mystique is looking to FINALLY find her forever home! When she came here, Mystique was very shy, so she was fostered by one of our volunteers. While being fostered, we were able to learn about her while she became more comfortable. Here's what her foster mom says about her! "Mystique is a fun, sassy girl! She likes to be pet along her back and up her tail, once she's comfortable with you, although she will be shy when you first meet her. She is quiet and very clean! She will bond with you, but at her own pace, so she would make a great cat for someone who doesn't need a snuggler. She can be bossy with some other cats, and may swat at you if you try to pet her head before she's ready, so be sure to let her lead the pace." Mystique would likely do best in a quiet house without dogs or young children. She needs someone who has had a cat before - someone who is willing to spend some time letting her warm up to them and not rushing her. Once she does warm up to you, you will have an unbreakable bond! She may be a great friend to your current cat, as long as they understand that SHE is the one in charge!
