Story
2 years.....not only is that how old Violet recently turned, but that's also approximately how long she has been at TAPS. Violet wants all of your love and attention and is actually very affectionate she just doesn't fully know how to express it. She unfortunately never learned how to properly socialize since she didn't grow up with her littermates so her excitement gets the best of her sometimes and then her teeth get involved with a few love nibbles. She is a staff favorite because of her sassy, playful personality and we believe In the right home where she is the only pet with the right UNDERSTANDING human(s) this sweet baby will thrive and become the cuddly cat we all know her to be! If you have the patience and thick skin to work with Violet, please complete an application online at tapsshelter.org.

Story
Hi, I'm Tigress, I'm 1 1/2 yrs old, and I'm what they call a Torbie. That means I look like a tabby cat, but I have apricot coloring also which makes me part Tortoiseshell, too! All that to say is I am gorgeous and very regal looking. My siblings and I were born outside, and we didn't have much human contact until we were a few months old, so I am slowly coming out of my shell. It has taken months to get me to this point. Somehow, I have decided that I occasionally like to go belly up so my foster mom and dad can rub my belly. Yet, I still will run away if I am not ready to have petting and affection. Just like all of my siblings, I do not want to be alone. I need one of my siblings or another kitten to help comfort me and be my friend. I love treats, toys, and I also come around if I hear rustling to see if it's a treat for me. I am looking for a patient new family to help me with trust and lots of love. If you think I could be the girl for you, please fill out an online application, so we can meet. Let's find out if we can be that perfect fit!

Story
Kyra is an estimated 6 year old cat that entered the shelter system when her owner passed away. Kyra is currently in a kennel because she does not like to be approached by the other cats but she was raised with another cat so with time, space and appropriate introductions in a home, we believe she would adjust. Her surrender form reports that she is good with children as well but as always, children should be respectful of her space and body languageAdoption Fee: $25Estimated Date of Birth: 3/15/2008Intake Reason: surrender, death of ownerAnimal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. If their kennel card on display at TAPS shelter facility is marked as unaltered, the animal will be altered prior to being released for adoption.

Sushi: The Sophisticated Single Lady This regal beauty is Sushi, and she's about to celebrate a milestone birthday - turning 4! Sushi came to us as a tiny kitten and found a loving home, but after two years, she returned due to feline incompatibility (turns out, she's not a huge fan of her canine housemates!). Nor feline friends!Sushi is a low-maintenance lady who appreciates the finer things in life - comfortable naps, delicious (prescription!) EN/ID food, and of course, chin scratches and gentle pets. Don't even think about picking her up though - she prefers to be on her own terms, gracing you with her presence by your side.While she might unleash a little sass if overstimulated (we all have our limits, right?), Sushi is a purrfect companion for someone who enjoys a calm and quiet relationship.Is Sushi the independent queen you've been waiting for? Come meet her and see if you can melt her sassy heart!Adoption Fee: $40Estimated Date of Birth: 7/16/20Intake Reason: Return, brought home new dog and Sushi didn't like the dogAnimal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption.
