sanctuary residents
This page features our permanent cat residents, from sanctuary cats to feral cats who live protected and cared for in our feral yard.
Here at Fat Cat Rescue and Sanctuary "Every Cat Counts".
Smoky
This stunning gentleman is on a journey from reserved to social butterfly. Initially, Smoky's social interactions were limited to his fellow felines, but he has recently begun to explore human companionship. You can now find him venturing up to the third floor, where he cautiously approaches people in hopes of a pet. Though he may be tentative at first, once you start petting him he just melts, his purring becoming loud and persistent. Smoky will then follow you around, eager for more affection and love.
Lacy
Lacy, the sassy resident of Room Nine, often prefers hiding when humans are about. Recently, however, she’s grown more comfortable with those who sit quietly in her space and has even started emerging for treats. This newfound trust has revealed her quirky signature sleeping position: Lacy loves to nap on her side with one leg in the air. Volunteers are charmed and delighted by this endearing glimpse into her silly, relaxed side.
Muffy
Muffy may sport a perpetually grumpy expression and an aloof demeanor, but beneath that tough exterior lies an absolute softy. With patience and a slow approach, you'll find that Muffy adores pets. When you hit the perfect spot on her cheek, she leans into it so deeply that she often ends up sprawled out, boneless, on the floor. Though she may be shy about showing it, Muffy truly loves to be loved and will reward your kindness with heartfelt affection.
Hobo
Hobo is a distinguished elderly gentleman who has embraced his retirement years in the feral yard with grace. This sweet boy finds bliss in napping amidst the grass and soaking up the sun. When he’s not enjoying his serene outdoor life, Hobo adores human affection. His response to pets is heartwarming; he melts into your touch and may even press against you in pure contentment. His appreciation is further expressed through a unique, loud, raspy purr that resonates with his joy.
Freddy Krueger
Freddy Krueger embodies a classic “Jekyll and Hyde” personality. When treats are involved, his namesake becomes evident—he's not shy about using his claws to slash both humans and fellow felines. Yet, when treats are absent, Freddy transforms into a timid, shy boy who is gentle with other cats and wary of humans. His dual nature proves that even cats with a fierce front can have a soft, affectionate side. Just remember: don’t touch Freddy’s food!
Gypsy
Though naturally shy, Gypsy has been making valiant efforts to step out of her shell. She has a favorite spot—a particular table on the third floor—where she likes to sit beneath and watch you with her large, expressive eyes until you notice her. Approach slowly, and this gentle lady will graciously allow you to sit next to her under the table, where you can earn her affection with tasty treats.
Queenie
Her Royal Majesty Queenie reigns with beauty and grace. Although she is not inclined to entertain the physical touch of her subjects (a.k.a. humans), she graciously accepts tributes in the form of delectable treats. Recently, she has deigned to approach her loyal subjects, to signal her readiness to receive these offerings. In addition to her noble demeanor, Queenie possesses a remarkable talent for snatching treats mid-air using her dexterous paw with the precision of a seasoned athlete. Her subjects eagerly anticipate the day when they might be granted a closer audience with this magnificent monarch.
Bean
Buckley (Bean) " Buckley is a senior feral cat known affectionately as Bean due to his small size. Bean's primary mission in life is to befriend every cat he encounters, regardless of their initial response. This often results in him receiving slaps from less receptive cats, but Bean remains undeterred in his pursuit of friendship. On the other hand, Bean takes a lot longer to warm up to humans. It can take months of bribing him with treats and being very patient, but once he accepts you, you have a friend for life. Bean truly has a boundless capacity for love and a one-of-a-kind character."
Flooffers
Flooffers is named so because he is an absolute flooffy cloud of a cat with gorgeous teal eyes. He embodies the essence of a handsome celebrity, requiring admiration from a distance as if you are the paparazzi. Whether he's striking a pose in the afternoon sun or curled up indoors in the cutest ball of fluff, Flooffers captivates with his distant allure. However, recently Flooffers has shown signs of boldness by accepting treats and occasionally coming closer to his admirers. There is hope that one day soon, his beauty will be fully appreciated up close."
