Featured Cat:
Danica

My name is Danica, and I am The Executive
I have to say, I’m a busy cat.  First, I’ve got to check out what’s happening out the window.  Next, I’ll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into.  And then there are my naps-can’t be late for those.  I can fit a little socializing into my schedule.  Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner?  I hope you like kibbles.

Featured Cat:
Olivia

My name is Olivia, and I am a Party Animal
I’m a cat on a mission: PARTY!  I love to play and explore and test my limits.  I’d love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils, post-it notes, potatoes.  If you’re looking for some laughs and someone to liven up the party, think about inviting me.

Introducing Meet Your Match & Feline-ality

The Meet Your Match & Feline-ality Adoption Program is a research-based program developed by the ASPCA that pairs distinct personalities (feline-alities) with adopters whose lifestyle fit them best.
Good matches help make strong bonds, and bonding is the key to successful adoptions.
Simply Cats is PROUD to announce that we are now utilizing the Meet Your Match program to pair adopters with their new feline friends.  To our knowledge, we are the only adoption center in Idaho utilizing this program.
The research-based Feline-ality Adoption Program is built around the Feline-ality Assessment that   reliably predicts how an individual cat is likely to behave when the cat arrives at their new home. In addition, the Cat Adopter Survey identifies the aspects of the adopter’s preferences, expectations, and lifestyle that correlate with specific feline-alities.
All cats over 1 year old will be evaluated at our facility using the assessment developed by the ASPCA.  Once evaluated, each cat’s profile will be posted in their respective adoption room.  All adopters will be asked to complete the Adopter Survey in order to identify the appropriate cats for adoption consideration.

Feline-alities

Private Investigator


I’m working undercover to keep an eye on you and your household. You may not even know you’re under surveillance. I can vanish into thin air if anyone or anything interferes with my investigation. If you need a cat who knows how to stay out of trouble and will always keep your secrets, I just might take your case.
Secret Admirer


When it comes to relationships, I’m very level-headed. I don’t leap in paws first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I’ll shower you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not see a lot of me but I’ll be thinking a lot of you!
Love Bug


Do you seek affection? I do! If you also like petting, purrs, and paws kneading your lap, I think we might have a LOT in common. I’m looking for “someone who enjoys quiet times and togetherness.” Could that someone be you?
The Executive


I have to say, I’m a busy cat. First, I’ve got to check out what’s happening out the window. Next, I’ll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into. And then there are my naps —can’t be late for those. I can fit a little socializing into my schedule. Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner? I hope you like kibbles.
Sidekick
Like all sidekicks, I’m just plain good company. I like attention, and I also like my solitude. I don’t go looking for trouble but I’m no scaredy-cat, either. If you are looking for a steady companion to travel with you on the road of life, look no further.
Personal Assistant


You’re working on the computer? Let me press the keys. Reading the paper? I’ll hold the pages down for you. Watching TV? I’ll just plop in your lap so you can pet me. I love an orderly household, don’t you? I’ll help you with all your chores, and I’ll help you relax when we’re done. You’ll wonder how you ever managed without me.
MVP
I’m a savvy cat who knows the score. I’m pretty unflappable, too. I don’t mind entertaining myself, but a human companion at the other end of the couch and a nice scratch behind the ears always make my day. If you’re looking for a resourceful addition to your team, think about signing this Most Valuable Pussycat.
Party Animal
I’m a cat on a mission: PARTY! I love to play and explore and test my limits. I’d love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils, post-it notes, potatoes. If you’re looking for some laughs and someone to liven up the party, think about inviting me.
Leader of the Band


I’m a cat who does everything in a big way. I not only like to be in the middle of things - I like to lead the parade. I’m an adventurous cat, but I’ll still make plenty of time to show you my affectionate side. I’m the demonstrative type, you might say. Want a cat who’s brimming with confidence? That’s me.

Success Stories
Bella and Precious

Bella and Precious

These lovely sisters were adopted together as kittens, but sadly returned to us after their human mother passed away.  It took them over a year of grieving before they were finally able to adjust to life at our adoption center.  However, once they decided it was time to move on, Bella and Precious picked out forever families within months of one another!  We are so happy and thankful that these two beautiful ladies are finally in loving homes!
