My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Jeff. I am a brave soul with a remarkable journey, and I have overcome so much to find my place in the world. For years, I lived outside as a feral community cat, fending for myself and keeping my distance from humans. But when the cold became too much, my kind caretakers brought me inside, and my life completely transformed. I now live happily with four other cats who have become my friends, and I've discovered the joys of indoor life—soft blankets, cozy spots, and endless affection.

I'll be honest: trusting humans didn't come naturally to me. But these days, I absolutely love being petted! I give enthusiastic head butts and purr so loudly you might think there's a motor running nearby. I'm still learning what it means to fully trust, but every day I'm getting more confident and comfortable. I enjoy the company of my feline roommates, and I'm proving that even cats who start out wary and independent can blossom into loving companions when given patience and care.

I'm looking for a forever home where someone understands my journey and appreciates the incredible progress I've made. I have so much love to give, and I'm ready to continue my transformation with a special person or family. If you have room in your heart and home for a cat who has truly earned his second chance, please reach out. I promise you won't regret it—my purrs alone are worth it!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our fees are $50-$150 depending of the age of the kitty and the amount of vetting. Most of our adult kitties are $50, most of our kittens are $125-$150, which includes all shots, microchip and spay/neuter.

We will send you an application, once approved, we will schedule a playdate with the animal. We do require a home visit. The animal then goes on trial for a couple weeks to a month. We want to make sure the animal is a good fit for your family. Even after the trial period if you can not keep the animal at anytime we will take them back into our program.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster home based rescued. Therefore, the majority of our animals are in peoples homes. This is perfect for adopters who have very specific needs on the animal they adopt. We know our animals well, and what types of homes we feel they will thrive best.

More about this rescue

We specialize in healthy, fiv+ kitties. But do have other kitties in our program as well. Fiv is an immune deficiency which kitties get from fighting. Usually unneutered males fighting for territory, food sources and females. Once fixed and loved and fed daily the need to fight for these things disappears. Most of our fiv+ kitties are fostered with other non fiv kitties, and proven to be friendly.

There are lots of myths and misinformation about fiv. To simply it, an fiv kitty is a kitty with a lower immune system. If they get hurt or sick it could take them longer to heal. Fiv does not cause disease, it is a secondary issue of how your kitty will react to primary issue. Most fiv kitties die from geriatric issues without any more vet care than other kitties.
