DUDLEY
He wears his heart on his sleeve. Or maybe it's in his eyes. You can see if there, his hope for love.
Dudley originally came from a hoarding situation in the valley. We believe that he may have been bullied or pushed out by the other tom cats because he was so beat up, found hanging out around the neighbors house, and is easily bullied. He was infested with ear mites to the point that his ears developed hematomas that ruptured. There was so much pain and the ears became deformed. He got through that like he got through the fighting with other unaltered males. Life was hard.
And yet, Dudley ended up being a gentle, kind boy who just wants to live a peaceful life. He's not a scaredy cat. But he's cautious of hoping for too much. Expecting too much, like a loving family, a warm, clean home. A place where he can begin to heal his wounded soul and maybe even find joy. He's not sure yet if that is in his future or being alone and unloved is his whole life. We promise him that there are lots of good things to come.
We think he's maybe 4 years old. He's a big boy. Very fluffy. Sometimes he seems sorrowful but when he begin to trust that you are kind, there is a spark of hope in his eyes.
He could live with another cat that is gentle and welcoming. He seems to have been the target of other aggressive cats in the past and he's not a fighter. So he needs a gentle companion if there is another cat in the house. We don't know how he would be with a dog.
He does love to step outside and feel that freedom of the natural world, so he will need a safe place to go outside that is his home, his quiet and secure home. Where he can walk around the yard and then when he's ready, he can go back inside his nice home with his loving people and be contented. And be love and even be happy.
In Eagle River. If you are interested in this wonderful cat, please call 907 980-8898

LIL BEAN
Lil Bean! He's a bundle of love! Ever since he was a kitten, he's been a sweet lovable boy. It's just his nature.
He's about 10 months old now and even as a teenager, he is a darling. Happy to be friends with anyone who will be kind to him. He loves other kitties, in particular those who will romp and ramble with him. A playmate is important and he'll need one in his new home. He would love to roll and wrestle with another agreeable cat as well as chasing down imaginary creatures, like wind through the yard and blowing leaves.
He is ready to find his forever family to give his whole, sweet heart to. That could include a gentle dog and must have a feline friend as well as a yard to race across. Some bushes to climb around would be great too.
He's in Soldotna. Call or text 907 953-03333

TAZZIE
It's interesting to know a cat's history. But sometimes it's almost too hard to tell their story. That is the case with Tazzie.
Tazzie is so pretty, and an absolute sweetheart. If you want love; you need Tazzie. She is a friendly purring darling who loves to be with her people. Cuddle with you. Sleep with you. Be picked up and given kisses. Happy to see you walk in the door after work. The almost perfect best friend cat companion.
She is all that wonderfulness and more. She is amazing. But the most amazing thing is how Tazzie is such a kind and loving girl after she has suffered the pain and terror of being tortured. Except for the very obvious scars on her head and over her body, you would hardly know that Tazzie had ever been anything but surrounded by complete love.
She was loved; that is obvious. Her person loved her very much. And when she had to go out of town she asked a good friend to stay at her home to take care of Tazzie. When she got home, she found raw wounds all over Tazzie's body! It wasn't until she remembered the camera she had left on her shelter and saw the video that she found out what had happened to her beloved cat. The friend's boyfriend had screamed at Tazzie and chased her around the house and repeatedly burned her with a lit cigarette. All over her body.
The outcome for the torturer was a few days in jail, a minor fine and not being allowed to have an animal for some period of time. For Tazzie it was a painful recovery of healing from her wounds. The physical scars are still there; you can feel them on her head, her back, her sides. And overcoming the fear of torture. With the love and devotion of her mom, she has clearly managed to hold on to her trust of humans, her sweet way of being.
And then another tragedy. Tazzie's beloved mom died in a car accident and once again she found herself without a protector, this time homeless and loveless. And yet now, in her foster home, she is still, or again, a most loving sweet girl. Always ready for affection and reassurance that everything is alright. And full of hope that there will be a good life ahead. That there is happiness waiting for her. And that is what we intend to find for her.
Tazzie is probably around 6 years old. She does not seem to enjoy other cats; likely she was the only cat in her past home. She would love to be the one and only again but it's possible that another cat that can do their own thing would be fine. We don't know about dogs.
Tazzie will need a stable, loving, and absolutely devoted family where there is a little yard that she can go outside to enjoy and take in the peace of the natural world. Nothing less will be acceptable.

SUSHI
Meet Sushi: The Shy Sweetheart Who Will Steal Your Heart! 
Sushi may have started out a bit shy, but once she trusts you (and it doesn’t take long), she’ll be demanding pets and belly rubs like the true diva she is. Of course, it’s always on her terms – because she’s got standards, you know? 
Sushi is an independent soul who loves the company of other cats. In fact, she’s looking for a feline friend to share her new home with (because even a princess needs a bestie!). She’d thrive in a quiet, laid-back home with adults who understand the importance of letting her blossom at her own pace. While Sushi’s heart is full of love, she prefers a peaceful environment where she can relax and show off her affectionate side when she’s ready. She’s currently an indoor cat, but would absolutely love to explore a safe, fenced-in yard during the summer months, soaking up the sun and indulging her inner adventurer. 
If you’re ready to welcome a cat who’s as sweet as she is sassy (and can handle her royal demands), Sushi is your girl! Could you be the one to give her the cozy, calm forever home she deserves? Let’s make this love story happen – you bring the patience, and she’ll bring the purrs!

WILD THING
This is Wild Thing. Not wild like crazy wild. But wild like she once was a feral cat and now she loves living in a house with a family who loves her but petting is only when she is ready for petting. The rest of the time she hangs out with her cat friends, watches the dogs do their dog thing. Nap in cozy places, come for meals and snacks. Lives the easy life and is happy.
She has quite an interesting tortoiseshell coat. Browns and black and oranges patterned in curious dapples and dollops. Not so great for camouflage in the house but in an autumn forest, she would be invisible.
Wild Thing is not the kind of cat for everyone. But for someone who is that special wonderful person that will give a reserved cat a chance, the person who knows that love and patience pays off in the most amazingly joyful ways when a 'wild' cat comes to love you and lets you know how they finally finally trust that you are their family.
Wild Thing is probably a little over a year old. Shy, skittish, uncertain with people. But a great friend of all nice cats. If you are her special one, please contact us at 907 980-8898
