Name: Big Red
Description: Big Red is a handsome orange tabby who is lucky to be alive! This brave kitty was found outdoors with bite wounds and an entire claw missing. Thankfully, he was rescued from the streets and brought inside where it is safe. He has blossomed in rescue and healthy and happy and looks so good! He is a social cat who loves to be around people. He is a perfect blend of being playful but is also quite content to 'sun tan' on a deck as well, so long as his people are out there with him. He likes to stare out the windows and watch the birds as well. He is a 'talker,' meaning he will meow if he feels he has something important to say but he has quite a nice voice so we don't mind. He loves to be the center of attention and is quite a charmer. He is fostered with dogs and does well with them, enjoys the other cat at his foster home, and likes kids. If you are looking for a playful, yet cuddly kitty, check out Big Red! He is 3-4 years old, current on shots, neutered, tested negative for feline leukemia, and is good about using his litterbox. For obvious reasons, all animals adopted from Homeward Bound MUST live indoors. You can email Rachel at lpuppylove4u@aol.com with questions. She can also send you a pre-adoption questionnaire.

Name: Elmo
Description: Elmo needs a home. This very affectionate, cuddly, purr machine kitty is seeking a home as an only cat. He adores people, and tolerates the other cats, but clearly shows preference for wanting a place of his own in terms of feline friends. He loves to be held like a baby and will make such a great companion kitty. He is neutered, vaccinated, and front declawed. For obvious reasons, all animals adopted from Homeward Bound MUST live indoors, no exceptions. You may email raylut@yahoo.com with questions.

Name: Rocco
Description: Rocco is pretty black haired kitten who is currently too young to adopt right now, but will be available in 2-3 weeks. She is affectionate and will form a very strong bond with her people. Already she is following her foster mom all over the house and wants to be held and sleep on the pillow at night. She gets along very well with other cats and should do fine with gentle, cat-savvy kids. She is already litter box trained and is so darn sweet.

Name: Stuart Little
Description: Stuart Little was born to a stray momma kitty and accidentally missed when animal control was called to pick up the little family. He made his appearance on the front steps of a family several hours later after the impound had closed for the day. Lucky for him, he was placed into a loving foster home with other cats, dogs, and kids to raise him, and teach him how to be a cat. He is absolutely adorable and sweet, super snuggly, and loves being petted and cuddled. Stuart is litter box trained and gets along well with everyone he meets and all other animals. Since he was hand raised by humans, he is exceptionally friendly and loves to be with people. You can email Libby at libby7521@hotmail.com with questions.

Name: Swift
Description: Swift is one spitfire of a kitten! He has quickly wiggled his way into his foster mom's heart with his silly kitten antics and no doubt will quickly move his way into yours as well if you're looking for an interactive, playful kitten. Swift is a 4-5 month old kitten who loooooves to play, explore, and play some more. Because he loves other cats so much, we'd love for him to go to a home with another playful cat. Some fun kids would be good too, but it isn't mandatory. What is mandatory is that he needs a home that will give him lots of attention, will appreciate his curious, inquisitive nature, and will love him forever and ever. His adoption fee includes his neuter, rabies shot, and kitten vaccines. Like all of the cats in our program, he is good about using his litterbox.
