Story
Little is young tuxedo kitty with a big personality. She loves chatting with you as you go about your day, sitting on your lap, being held, galloping around the house, playing with toys, and anything else you want to try with her. She is a social eater and will go to her food bowl when the family sits down to eat. She needs to live entirely indoors because she is not good at avoiding dangers outside or finding her way back home. She is litter-box trained, never had an accident. She is small and chubby and will be super cute for life. She's in perfect health, no meds or chronic problems. She will do great in a home where she is the only cat - she likes to be the center of attention - with a single person who wants great company or with a family that wants a dynamic kitty who has a lot of life left in her. Shes not afraid of strangers - walks right up meowing and ready for a snuggle. We can give you a large cat tree to take home with her so she has something that smells familiar.

Story
Joshua found under a tree during a thunderstorm. Joshua was almost unresponsive and needed immediate medical care. Early in life, this poor little guy has struggled with maintaining his weight and staying hydrated. While in rescue, he was diagnosed with seizure disorder, but happily, he has responded brilliantly to his daily anti-seizure medication and hasn’t had a seizure since his medication was started in summer 2024. Joshua is a quirky lil guy. When overstimulated or stressed, he becomes overwhelmed and quickly seeks food as a way to sooth his anxiety (don’t we all?). He has kitty OCD, which makes him highly focused on daily routines and habits. But, as Joshy has gotten older, his quirks have smoothed out a bit. These days, he will join you on the couch in the evenings for some pets and company, he will play with a teaser toy, and he even gives lip kisses - but sometimes he misses. But given all of that, Joshua is simply the sweetest lil guy and everyone absolutely adores him. He is wonderful with dogs (and cats), of any temperament, because he really doesn’t pay any attention to anything except his food. Joshua is a long-haired tuxedo.

Story
Little Monica was wandering alone, as a tiny little kitten, around an apartment complex. She was very scared and extremely malnourished. She is semi-feral and initially was very cautious around humans, but she gets more and more comfortable and affectionate with us with each day. She is a Churu thief - she loves these little creamy treats and will do practically anything for them. Being with other kittens and cats is calming and reassuring for her. She would do well in a house with another cat for support. Monica is unique in that she is a bobtail (Manx)

Story
This sweet cat was abandoned and has been hanging out with me for about a year. He seemed well fed but acted like he hadn’t had a meal in months. So I named him Frank Abagnale after the con artist depicted in the movie Catch Me if You Can. He finally came in the house a few months ago because something in the woods scared him. He likes to go out during the day, but seems fine indoors. He is extremely sweet and loves attention. Unfortunately my other cat does not like him at all so I have to keep them separated. For this reason I’m unable to give him all the love he deserves and it’s becoming more stressful for me and my cat. He loves the litter box, his cat bed and belly scratches.

Story
Meet Our Sweet 4-Year-Old Fluffy Girl 🐾 This beautiful 4-year-old cat is looking for a new loving home through no fault of her own. We originally rescued her from a pet store that was closing and needed to rehome their animals, and she has been a wonderful companion ever since. She is incredibly soft and fluffy, fixed, and very affectionate. She loves being petted and spending time near her people. She can be a little shy at first around new faces (as many cats are), but once she warms up, she becomes a total love bug. She is great with babies and kids and has been gentle and patient in our home. Unfortunately, our 1-year-old has developed severe allergies, and after much thought, we’ve realized the kindest choice is to find her a new home where she can continue to be loved and comfortable. She would make a fantastic companion for an individual, couple, or family looking for a sweet, cuddly cat. We’re hoping to find someone who will give her the love and attention she deserves.

Story
Meet our sweet boy 💕 He is a 5-year-old male cat with the biggest heart and the biggest cuddle instinct you’ll ever meet. He is incredibly loving and truly lives for companionship. If you sit down, he will be right beside you—snuggled up, purring, and happiest just being close. He’s the kind of cat who wants to be your shadow and your best friend. If you feed him and take care of him, he will not leave your side. He bonds deeply with his person and gives so much affection in return. He has been the best cat we could ever ask for—gentle, loyal, and endlessly loving. Unfortunately, due to our 1-year-old’s allergies, we can no longer keep him, and this decision breaks our hearts. We are looking for a safe, loving home where he can get the attention and cuddles he deserves. He would be perfect for someone who wants a constant companion and a true cuddle buddy. He means the world to us, and we just want to see him happy and loved. 💖
