Cami is ready for her forever home. She’s a beautiful calico girl, born approximately 11/5/2021. Cami’s spine is damaged but she gets around just fine. She does need her bladder and bowels expressed. She’s on a good routine now and spends the day in a diaper and sleeps without a diaper in a kennel at night. She’s a little shy with new people and she loves other gentle kitties. She is spayed, current on vaccines, tested Negative for FIV/FeLV and microchipped. We can teach you how to care for her! She’s adorable!! November 5, 2024, 10:32 am

Story
Cleo acts like she still is a kitten herself, she still has a lot of playful kitten behavior. Cleo came to us with her 5 newborns during Spring Training and now it`s her turn to find a forever family. She is shy but very sweet and loving. She will take some time to adjust and trust but once she feels safe and you give her freeze dried chicken she`ll love you forever and snuggle up with you at night. Cleo is curious and playful. She prefers free feeding on dry and wet food. She will do best with someone who has cat experience. She is cautious but not afraid of chill dogs and other young cats. Her fosters would love updates if adopter is willing

Story
Hello there! My name is Calypso, and I’m a beautiful calico kitty with a heart full of sweetness and love. One day, I just appeared in someone’s backyard, looking for a place to call home. I’m a gentle soul, with fur that’s as bright and colorful as my personality. I did spend a short time in a foster home and they learned a few important things about me. I am very afraid of dogs and should not live with one. I also do not like other cats.....so.......... I must be your one and only pet please. I`m a fantastic huntress and needs lots of interactive playtime each day to practice all of hunting skills. As for pets, I can sometimes get overstimulated with too many pets so I will let you know when I am done. My fur feels like silk though and you`ll know I`m enjoying my time with you when I weave in and out of your legs. Some might say I have a short fuse, but lots of playtime and enrichment tends to calm my nerves. I`m a smart girl and very food motivated and am currently learning clicker training. I am working hard to be the best version of myself and am excited to share with my new family all of my best behaviors! I’m ready to find my forever home, a place where I can give all my love, snuggles, and purrs. Experienced cat owners only please!

Story
Hi, I’m Dottie — your future best friend. One day, I showed up on a doorstep, politely announced myself (with a few gentle meows), and waited for someone to open the door. I wasn’t lost — I was just in between humans, and I knew it was time to find my forever person. You see, I’ve clearly been someone’s pet before. I know the comfort of a warm lap, the joy of chin scratches, and how to hold a full conversation if you’re up for a chat. I’m a classic Tortie — beautiful, unique, and full of `Tortitude!` I’m affectionate, but sassy, and I have my limits on how much I like to be pet. I`d love a family that allows me `to be me` and respects by sensitive nature and needs. I will show you `cues` for when I`ve had my limit and just need a pet parent who is comfortable with me having some boundaries and some `say` in our interactions. If you think I might be the right kitty for you, then I would love to meet you!

Story
Hi! I’m Bailey, a curious and playful kitten who loves exploring every corner of my world here. When I’m not on an adventure, I’m quite mellow, enjoying a good nap in a cozy spot. I'm a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I’m all purrs and play. I adore other cats and find their company very comforting. I’m also okay with dogs after a slow, careful introduction. No children please. They’re scary!  I’ll need a furry friend in my new home, unless you’re around most of the day to be my buddy.  If you’re looking for a sweet, independent, and loving companion, I'm your perfect match. Bring me home and let's start our own fun-filled journey together! I’m up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed,neutered and microchipped. My adoption fee is $100.December 28, 2025, 11:57 pm

Story
Meet Peanut — Your New Snuggle Buddy!   Peanut is a handsome fawn/yellow short-haired gentleman, around 11 years young, who’s been lovingly fostered since he was found in March. He’s a total lover boy who adores human company and will happily curl up on your chest for a cozy snuggle session. His gentle purrs and the cutest little meow will melt your heart in seconds.   Peanut has had some dental work done while in foster care, and now his remaining teeth are sparkling clean and healthy!   When it comes to other animals, Peanut prefers a calm environment. He does best without other cats, and while he hasn’t met dogs yet, we think he’d be happiest as either an only pet or with another mellow, senior companion.   Peanut is looking for a quiet, loving home where he can spend his golden years basking in affection and sunshine. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will always be there to greet you with love, Peanut is your guy!   Age: ~11 years Coat: Short-haired fawn/yellow Personality: Affectionate, gentle, snuggly Ideal home: No other pets or calm senior animals   Peanut is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, neutered, dewormed and microchipped. His adoption fee is $80.  January 6, 2026, 12:48 pm
