Breaking mews, hoomans:
Four pawsitively purrfect cats are waiting at Castaway Critters for YOU to scoop them up and give them the forever homes they deserve.
We’ve reviewed their bios, conducted our extremely thorough nap-on-it research, and unanimously agree: these cats pass the Vibe Check. Big time.
Whether you’re looking for a snuggly lap cat, a chill older dude, or a resilient little survivor with a belly rub addiction—this list’s got it all.

Popcorn: The Sweetest Snack You’ll Ever Adopt
Popcorn’s Resume:
✅ Friendly
✅ Spayed
✅ Up-to-date on shots
✅ Calico (hello, bonus points)
✅ Good with other cats
Popcorn is that kind of cat who shows up with snacks and emotional support. Found raising 4 kittens all by herself (give this mama a medal), Popcorn is ready to retire from mom life and step into her new role: adored housecat.
She’s easy-going, loves cats, and is the kind of quiet companion who’s happy to nap while you binge true crime podcasts.
Apply for her at: www.castawaycritters.org/adopt
Terk: The Snuggle Champion of the Year
Terk’s Resume:
✅ Dog-friendly
✅ Cat-friendly
✅ Kid-friendly (as long as they’re cool cats themselves)
✅ Survived MAJOR surgery
✅ Master of belly rub requests
We call him Terk. Or Turkey. Or Mr. Velcro Paws. Whatever you call him, you’ll never call him far away—because this boy lives to snuggle.
After surviving a scary surgery and bouncing back stronger than ever, Terk is ready to trade in vet visits for endless cuddles. He’s laid-back, loving, and already practicing his biscuit-making for his future home.

Melody: The Soft-Spoken Church Cat
Melody’s Resume:
✅ Declawed (front)
✅ Low-energy couch companion
✅ Loves head pats
✅ On a weight management journey
✅ Has her own Lifetime movie backstory
Melody’s story? Pulled from a church parking lot as a baby, raised by a loving hooman until life threw a curveball and landed her at Castaway.
She’s cautious but sweet, prefers lap time over playtime, and is perfectly content watching Hallmark movies with you. She might meow along.
If you’re looking for a gentle soul with good taste in TV, she’s your girl.

Carl: The Senior Gentleman with Sass
Carl’s Resume:
✅ 10 years wise
✅ FIV/FELV negative
✅ Survived a hoarding situation
✅ Loves a good chat (seriously, he talks a lot)
✅ Ready to be someone’s spoiled only child
Carl might be older, but his spirit? SPUNKY. He survived terrible conditions and bounced back with charm to spare. He tolerates other cats but dreams of a retirement home where he’s your one-and-only.
If you love a good conversation with your coffee, Carl’s your guy.
