They just haven’t had any experience being pets. Clooney was born in 2014 and was abandoned. He’s in good health, and he gets along well with other cats. Shy cats like these have always been an important part of Best Friends’ culture. They have special spirits and deep personalities. And this beautiful cat would love to be a part of your life.

Solarflare is such a mellow guy that he would make the perfect companion for anyone who can handle his special needs.

He gets along with other cats but seeks out quiet spaces where he can be by himself. Milton has feline leukemia, so he will need to live with other cats with feline leukemia or be an only kitty.

Bess was born in 2014 and originally came to Best Friends from a shelter in Maryland. We found her a home, but then her new family lost their home, so she was returned to the sanctuary after two years. Bess has mild cerebellar hypoplasia, which causes her to wobble and sometimes fall over. She makes it to the litterbox most of the time but sometimes goes just outside the box. Bess is hoping to find someone with a big heart and lots of patience to take her home.

He has a heart issue for which he gets medication. He takes his pill very easily with treats. He also has dental issues that cannot be treated because of his heart condition. Kennedy loves people so much. We’d love to see him in a forever home where he could get all the attention he wants.
