Ruth

  
Ruth is a sweet mama that would do wonderfully in any home. She was found outside and pregnant in Albany right on time. She had five babies in her foster home a week later on international women’s day. Now that everyone is fixed and vetted, mama Ruth is ready for adoption! Ruth is sweet and friendly and just wants to be loved. Ruth will do well in a home with friendly children or other friendly pets, but would also do great as an only pet or with a single person or couple without kids.

Garuda

  
Are you looking for a companion who enjoys snuggling and loves to greet you when you get home, but who also happens to be a cat? Garuda might be the one for you! Garuda was an urban stray cat, outside for an unknown amount of time. He was seen on a trail camera during the winter months. We caught him in April 2025, and in under two weeks indoors he has become quite friendly. He loves to get petted and combed (which is great, because of his medium-long fur). He even likes to sit on laps. Garuda is young and playful. He does like to hide away at times, in small spaces, probably to stay safe like he did outdoors. He nipped his foster person after probably "too much" petting ... because of that we don't think he should be in a home with children. However, if you try to leave him and he thinks he should be getting more attention, he will tap your ankle or grab your leg. If you pet him a little more, he'll let you depart. Garuda can be startled by sudden sounds, but he recovers quickly. There are things he doesn't seem to like, such as toys with bells in them. Catnip toys are good, though! He is still adjusting to his new life. Are you ready to give Garuda the loving, indoor home he deserves?
