Story
Cleo, born 2/15/23 (best estimate) was rescued from a life outdoors right before she turned six months. She is a very shy girl, with humans, but absolutely adores playing with toys, especially flies that sneak in the house, and other cats. She has the cutest little squeak for a meow and does not back down from her giant foster brother cat.  Cleo does not care to be picked up but does adore Churu and will allow pets if there is Churu involved.  We believe she will come out of her shell in a calmer house with older children and chill kitty playmates.  Will you give this sweet kitty a chance?  She’s been spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and is up to date on her vaccinations.  Her adoption fee is $160.  January 31, 2025, 1:23 pm

Story
Hello humans! My name is Ellie, I was born approximately 4/25/22.  I’m a beautiful white and grey tabby girl with a super soft short coat. I can be a little timid at first, but I will warm right up to you with some treats!  I am very playful and I love my mice toys, I’ll throw them around in the air and catch them while you cheer me on.  I don’t like to be approached too fast, but I am a secret snuggle bug and will soon be sleeping at your feet every night.  I would do best as the only feline in your home.  I think I could do okay with older calm dogs that aren’t too rambunctious, as long as we do a slow introduction.  I’ve been with my foster for a while now and she is great, but I am ready for my forever loving home.  Could it be you?  I am up to date on all my shots, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. My adoption fee is $160.February 20, 2025, 10:31 am

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
Meet Nugget, a youthful spirit with a heart of gold born on 10/22/2023 (best estimate). This sweet and mellow feline is a little shy at first, but give him time and he'll warm up, showing his playful side. He’s especially motivated by wet food and Churu. He's not just a bundle of fun; Nugget is also quite the intellectual, always curious and eager to learn new things. His intelligence is not limited to solo activities; Nugget loves the company of other cats, and he's known to be quite the team player in feline games.  Nugget would do best in a quiet home with other cats to play with, some tall cat trees to hang out on, and a home without children. Nugget is a sweet boy, but he gets startled with a lot of commotion. He does fine around quiet calm dogs. Adopt Nugget, and let his sweet, playful spirit brighten your days. He is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $160. February 20, 2025, 11:15 am

Story
Hello my name is Charlotte and I was born approximately 2/15/2019.  I am a very sweet loving tortie girl that  gets along well with everyone including cats, dogs, and kids.  I know they say torties have big attitudes, but I promise that my tortie-tude is pretty small.  One thing you need to know about me is that I have allergies, and sneeze from time to time. Vets have told me that maybe it’s caused by the Herpes virus.  I’ve been on antibiotics and they don’t help, so sneezy is just the way I am.  It does not bother me one bit, but I need a human that doesn’t mind cleaning my nose and maybe wiping up the occasional snot rocket.  I am spayed, current on vaccines, negative for FIV/FeLV and microchipped. My adoption fee is $80.February 20, 2025, 10:53 am
