Don't let the name fool you—Sphynx is a grey and white tuxedo cat with excellent manners and an even better attitude. New sounds, new smells, new furniture arrangement? Sphynx adjusts fast and gets on with his day. He's not the type to hide under the bed for a week sorting out his feelings—he's more interested in meeting you, checking out his new digs, and figuring out where the good napping spots are.

Underneath the confidence is a sweet, affectionate cat who likes people and isn't shy about showing it. He's friendly with new faces and easy to love once you get to know him, which doesn't take long. If you want a cat who can roll with whatever life throws at him while still being a total sweetheart, Sphynx is ready to make the move with you.

Apply to adopt Sphynx at felius.org/adopt or come visit him at the cafe!

Still looking for your perfect little weirdo? We’d like to reintroduce you to Loach. 🖤

This three-year-old gal is a little quirky, a little particular, and pretty darn awesome. She enjoys taking long naps, keeps a close eye on everything happening around her, and is happy to accept attention (when she decides it’s time).

Loach has spent the last few months getting comfortable with indoor life, and she’s doing things her way. She’s not looking for a busy household or a person who expects constant affection. She’s looking for someone who appreciates an independent cat, respects her boundaries, and enjoys getting to know a cat who does things on her own terms.

Think you might be Loach’s person? Come say hello at the café or apply to adopt her at felius.org/adopt.

Onyx is a dilute tortoiseshell who believes in a proper introduction period. Come in too fast or too loud and she'll retreat to assess the situation from a safe distance — nothing personal, just protocol. Sit down, ignore her for a bit, and watch how quickly "stranger danger" turns into "best friends forever."

Once she's warmed up, Onyx is a loving and affectionate cat. She likes cozy hiding spots, napping in sunbeams, and plenty of chin scratches once trust is established. New environments take her a minute; new people take her less time than you'd think. She'd do best with someone willing to let her come around at her own pace, which, for the record, isn't long. After that, she's not shy about a thing.

Apply to adopt Onyx at felius.org/adopt or come visit her in the playroom today!

If you’ve visited the café recently, you’ve probably spotted Totoro perched on top of the cat climbing wall or hanging out by the air vent, keeping an eye on the playroom from above. Totoro is a little shy at first, but he’s getting more confident every day. When things quiet down, he comes down to explore, enjoy some pets, and show off his sweet side. He enjoys his "introvert time" during the day (often burrowed safely under a blanket), but comes alive with energy in the mornings and evenings.

He’s not a lap cat, but he is a sit-next-to-you-and-keep-you-company kind of cat. Give him time to feel safe, and you’ll get a loyal, affectionate companion with plenty of personality. Totoro is clever and curious, and has figured out how to open cabinets, so get ready to find him in a few creative, cozy spots!

Totoro is currently taking anxiety medication to help him feel comfortable and confident. He may not always need it, and his future adopters should be prepared to work with their veterinarian as his needs change. Felius is always happy to answer any questions about his medication, care, or personality ahead of time to help potential adopters feel prepared.

Totoro is looking for a patient home where he can settle in at his own pace. Think you could be his person? Apply to adopt at felius.org/adopt. 🐾

Felius is hitting the road! Join us for a free pop-up cat cafe at the Waterloo Library on Saturday, September 26 from 9:30am to 1pm. We'll have cats, merch, and plenty of cat love to share. Open to the public, no cost to attend. Learn more at felius.org/events

Emmy walks into a room and has something to say about it. She'll greet you at the door with a soft little "hello," follow you from room to room like your most devoted shadow, and then settle into your lap for a biscuit-making session that could honestly go on forever. She's the kind of kitten who makes a quiet Tuesday night feel genuinely cozy just by being in it. If you've ever wanted a cat who is truly *present* with you, Emmy is that cat.

Start your application at felius.org/adopt and let Emmy tell you all about it herself.

Reminder that we are hosting Trivia tonight from 6-7:45PM! Grab your friends and come test your knowledge (no RSVP necessary). You can also pet some adoptable rescue cats.... like Sphynx. No pressure, but he will be sad if you don't come say hi.
