Tiny is 14 weeks old and, well… the name is extremely accurate. She is about half the size you’d expect for her age, but before you start worrying, her veterinarian has given her a clean bill of health. She’s healthy, happy and apparently just decided that being pocket-sized was the way to go. And don't let her tiny little body fool you. Tiny is fearless. This girl has confidence that some cats twice her size could only dream about. She loves people, loves other animals and thinks absolutely everything deserves to be investigated. Nothing seems to intimidate her. Not new surroundings. Not new people. Not other animals. And certainly not the 100-pound German Shepherd currently living in her foster home. Most kittens would take one look at a dog that size and think, 'Perhaps I'll stay over here.' Tiny's response? 'Oh! Hi! You're huge! Wanna be friends?' She will walk right up to him without a hint of hesitation, completely unaware that she is approximately the size of one of his paws. She is endlessly curious, loves to explore and seems determined to personally inspect every corner of her world. Tiny was rescued by one of our volunteers from a human homeless encampment, and watching her blossom into this confident, playful little kitten is pretty remarkable. Whatever her start in life looked like, Tiny has clearly decided that her future is going to be fun. She would fit beautifully into just about any home dynamic. A family, a couple, a single person, a home with other cats or a home with a friendly dog. Tiny isn't looking for a particular lifestyle. She just wants people and animals to love, things to explore and a whole lot of life to experience. She may be tiny enough to fit almost anywhere, but we're pretty sure she'll find a way to take up an enormous amount of space in your heart. Tiny: approximately 50% kitten by size, 100% kitten by energy, and approximately 900% confidence. All kittens have all been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair or $200 per kitten. August 19, 2026, 11:28 am

Orion Is Waiting. Some cats dream of climbing to the top of the cat tree. Orion assumes that's where he belongs. Named after one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky, Orion is a 1 year old Bombay mix who seems determined to spend as much time as possible up where the stars live. If there's a bookshelf to conquer, a high windowsill to supervise from, or the very top perch of a cat tree available, you'll probably find Orion there—looking down at his kingdom like the handsome little king he is. But don't let his lofty ambitions fool you. This boy is equal parts athlete, comedian, and cuddle bug. If you've never witnessed feline parkour, Orion would be delighted to provide a live demonstration. One minute he's quietly watching a toy... The next he's launching into the air, bouncing off furniture with Olympic-level precision, twisting, turning, and somehow landing perfectly every single time. We're honestly considering submitting his audition for the next action movie. His favorite prey? Wand toys. Springs. The occasional bug that accidentally wandered into the house and immediately regretted its life choices. Nothing escapes Orion's attention when he's in hunting mode. Of course, every superhero needs downtime. After a busy day of acrobatics, Orion transforms into an affectionate sweetheart who loves being with his people. One of his favorite little quirks is burrowing under blankets, where he creates his own cozy hideaway before drifting off to sleep. If you ever can't find him, don't panic. Check under the covers. There's a very good chance you'll discover one happy little cat tucked in like a burrito. Orion is wonderfully social and has the kind of easygoing personality that fits beautifully into many different homes.  He would also do well with another friendly cat, a cat-savvy dog, or respectful children. Orion approaches life with confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for being part of the family. If Orion could write his own wish list, it would be refreshingly simple: A tall cat tree. Very tall. Maybe taller. A basket full of wand toys and springs. A few soft blankets for his famous burrowing sessions. A sunny window where he can keep an eye on the birds. And people who occasionally applaud his athletic performances. (Trust us...they're impressive.) Imagine laughing as Orion launches into another gravity-defying leap after a feather wand. Imagine finding a mysterious lump under your comforter, only to discover it's your favorite little blanket-loving buddy. Imagine looking up at the highest shelf in the room and realizing, once again, Orion somehow got there before you even noticed. Some cats fill your lap. Orion fills your home with adventure, laughter, and just a little bit of stardust. Orion has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150. If you're looking for a cat who's equal parts acrobat, explorer, comedian, and cuddle companion, Orion is ready to become the brightest star in your home.  August 19, 2026, 11:28 am

Raven has a gentle, affectionate personality and loves being close to the people she trusts, whether she's rubbing up beside me or following me from room to room. She has an elegant, panther-like appearance that she shows off especially when she is outside and explores the plants and trees. With her calm temperament, loyal nature, and affectionate personality, she would make a wonderful addition to a caring home looking for a devoted and comforting feline companion.
