Story
She’s about a year old very loving and playful. Loves kids. Will probably need a little time to adjust and warm up to a new home but she’s a sweetheart. She will come with cat tower a litter box and toys and food and everything to get started. She has been spoiled. She’s also front declawed so indoor only!!!

Story
Astrid is a very loving cat and loves attention. She loves to sit on laps and nuzzle with someone who wants to hold her. She loves to look out the window and chirp at birds. She has been stressed ever since we found out we were pregnant and brought our first baby home. She has thrown up a few times and we've adusted her food accordingly. We’ve had her to the vet and they say this is just stress related to having a change in environment. Otherwise she has been healthy and wonderful. She has lived with a second cat for 4 years now. She has not become the best of friends with the other cat, but tolerates her and they play together sometimes. I think she would prefer no dogs and no children or older children!

Story
Cali, who is 10 years old, came into our care as a temporary foster, but unfortunately she was abandoned by her previous owner. She has formed a close bond with Lady, and ideally they would stay together if possible.Cali has been through a lot of change, so she can be a little grouchy at first. Once she feels safe and settled, she enjoys having a quiet place to relax. She would do best in a calm, patient home that understands senior cats and will give her the stability she deserves.Because she prefers a peaceful environment, a home without young children would likely be the best fit. My hope is to find her a permanent, loving home where she and Lady can enjoy their golden years together.

Story
Honestly wish I didn’t have to do this but due to demands of my career requirement for travel I want Mo to have a stable home with someone that can gives her the attention that she needs. She is very high energy and knows how to trick you into treats. A very affectionate cat that will purr as loud as your tv in the best way possible

Story
If you're looking for a cat with personality, look no further than Margot. This one-year-old calico has never met a stranger and believes everyone is a potential new best friend. She's curious, outgoing, and always has something to say, so be prepared for plenty of adorable conversations! Margot is FIV+, but that doesn't slow her down one bit. Cats with FIV can live long, normal lives, and Margot is proof that a diagnosis doesn't define a cat's spirit.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Tinker and I am a black & white domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 1 year and 7 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 05/01/2026 due to the fact I was not a good fit with the children in the home. My owner said I played too rough with them, and would sometimes get carried away and bite/scratch too hard. This can sometimes happen if a kitten does not have a feline playmate, or if children play too rough with a kitten. The child in the home was about 5 years old. My family originally adopted me from the shelter when I was a small kitten. I lived with them for over a year before they had to return me.I am used to staying inside during the day and inside during the night. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a high energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home, but the shelter staff always recommends owners be mindful that I do not accidentally sneak out on their way out the door. I can be good with men, women, and older children. I can be good with other cats, but I do not like living with dogs.My owner described my personality as very loving, active, and playful.
