Rachel, Siamese and domestic shorthair mix

Rachel is a female Siamese and domestic shorthair mix staying at HOPE (Homeless & Orphaned Pets Endeavor).

Rachel is a social butterfly — she loves other cats. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She's already spayed, and she has had all her shots.

More from Rachel:

Hi, my name is Rachel!  I am very sweet and curious. I like to be next to my foster humans or in their laps. I like to nap, give kisses and groom my foster humans, even their hair! I can be talkative when I'm hungry and love to play and roughhouse with my siblings. I can be cautious in new situations but give me some time to warm up and I'll be very interested in you! I'm very active and love to play with all of my toys.

Zoe, domestic shorthair

Zoe is a darling female domestic shorthair cat being kept at Friends For Life Animal Shelter & Sanctuary.

Zoe needs special time to bond with you: She'll need a home free of other cats. She's already house-trained. Zoe is already spayed, and she has had all her shots.

Here's what Zoe's friends at Friends For Life Animal Shelter & Sanctuary think of her:

A regal lady of discerning taste, we find that Zoe does get scared and shy at times. Zoe would love someone who understands her special needs (she wants all your attention for herself, she would prefer to be an only pet) and let her come out of her shell in her own time. Zoe loves head rubs and conversations, and is ready to be there for you no matter what.
