Please help me find a new home for Larry & Lady💔🐈‍⬛🐈 I am looking for a home for Larry & Lady, 9 year old brother and sister who have been together since they were 6 weeks old. They have never been separated, so they must stay together. Larry is the sweetest cuddle bug you’ll ever meet and will happily watch TV in your lap for hours. Lady is a quiet, independent girl who loves cozy hiding spots and stretching out in the sunshine. They’re both healthy, fixed, and have so much love left to give. I’m willing to provide food, treats, a scratching post, a water fountain, truly anything I can to help make the transition easier. My only goal is to find them the safe, loving indoor home they deserve.

Looking for a very special home for Callie 🤍 This is hard for me to post because Callie really is such a special cat, but I think she deserves the chance to absolutely thrive in a quieter home. When we moved into our house last year, Callie was living outside in our backyard. She was around 8 years old (9 now), extremely timid, and wouldn’t let anyone get close to her. Raccoons were even coming and fighting her for her food. 🥺 Even outside, she was such a gentle, unassuming little cat. She stayed close to the house, never begged or fought, and you could tell she just wasn’t equipped to fend for herself the way some outdoor cats can. We trapped her, took her to the vet, had her vaccinated and bloodwork done, and eventually convinced her to come into our garage. Since then, watching her slowly learn to trust people has been so sweet. 🥹 Over time, she started venturing into the house. When everything was quiet at night, she would come into the living room, curl up with us

I moved to Florida 2.5 years ago after fleeing a very abusive marriage. After my ex was released on a $100,000 bond following an attempt on my life and subsequently given six months of rehab, three of those inpatient, I no longer felt safe in my home state and left. I originally settled in Biloxi, Mississippi, but in 2023 an aneurysm ruptured and I was life-flighted to New Orleans. After three weeks in the hospital, I was referred to Mayo Clinic, which is how I ultimately ended up in Florida. Recently I found out that I am dealing with another serious health issue that requires continued specialized care and potential organ transplant, and my doctors have strongly encouraged me to return home where I have an established medical team and a support system. My boss stiffed me on my final pay and without my pay I cannot afford to get home with Gemma. I also don't drive. If anyone can please help me, I do not want to surrender her. I love her so much she's been the only thing saving me

Hunter Bunn & TJ – Calico Queen & Curious Tortie 🐾🧡🖤 Hunter Bunn and TJ (short for Tortie Jr.) are a bonded pair of 5-month-old girls looking for a patient, loving home together. Hunter Bunn, our beautiful calico, is a (very) funny girl with a big personality just waiting to fully shine again. She loves playing with other kitties and is usually one of the first to jump into the action. She’s bold, expressive, and clearly believes life should be lived enthusiastically. Since moving indoors, she’s still adjusting, but once she feels completely safe and settled, we expect her playful, fun-loving spirit to take center stage. TJ (Tortie Jr.) is exactly what her name suggests — a gorgeous little tortoiseshell with that classic tortie intensity and curiosity. Any time something new appeared — a crate, a cat bed, a cat house — TJ was the first to inspect it. New object? She’s on it. She’s naturally brave and inquisitive about her environment. With people, though, she’s more timid and unsure. She’s slowly learning that humans can be kind and predictable, and she’ll need a patient home willing to let her build trust at her own pace. Together, they balance each other beautifully — Hunter bringing the spark and humor, TJ bringing thoughtful curiosity and quiet bravery. They are: ✔️ Spayed ✔️ Combo test negative ✔️ Up to date on vaccines They’re not feral — just young kittens who haven’t had consistent, positive human attention yet. With time, patience, and love, they will continue to blossom into wonderful companions. And now for the plot twist… We’re actually a dog rescue. When subfreezing temperatures hit in late January, we were focused on getting dogs out of the cold — including a very pregnant mama and a stray who needed urgent help. At the same time, we learned about a group of seven kittens facing the same freezing weather. When babies need help, you don’t stop to check species — you just step in. Before coming indoors, Hunter Bunn truly earned her name. Every few days she would proudly present her rescuer with a “gift” — a bug, a squirrel tail (🥹), or some treasure she had conquered the day before. TJ, meanwhile, was always the first to investigate anything new that showed up at the colony. So yes — the dog rescue has cats. And these two undercover agents are ready for a forever mission of their own. 🐱💕

Laverne – Sweet, Playful, and Ready for Love 🐾💛 Laverne is a 6-month-old kitten with a gentle heart and a growing love for human attention. She’s come a long way, and it shows in the sweetest ways — like how she leans right into pets and happily soaks up affection once she knows she’s safe. She has a soft, easygoing nature, but don’t let that fool you — Laverne also has a playful side! She loves to chase her toys, pounce, and show off her kitten energy, especially when she’s feeling comfortable. It’s the perfect mix: cuddly companion and playful entertainer. Since moving indoors, Laverne has adjusted beautifully. She may be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but it doesn’t take long for her to warm up. With a little patience and a calm environment, she quickly shows her affectionate, trusting personality. She is:
 ✔️ Spayed
 ✔️ Combo test negative
 ✔️ Up to date on vaccines She’s not feral — just a young kitten who needed a chance to learn that people can be kind. Now that she knows, she’s ready to share that love with a forever family. And now for the plot twist… We’re actually a dog rescue. When subfreezing temperatures hit, we were focused on saving dogs — including a very pregnant mama and a stray in urgent need. At the same time, we learned about a group of seven kittens facing that same brutal cold. And when babies need help, you don’t stop to check species — you just act. So yes — the dog rescue has cats. And Laverne might just be one of our sweetest undercover missions yet. 🐱✨
