Story
Rigatoni (nicknames include Toni & Bubby) has been our beloved cat for over 3 years. He is currently 5 years old! We have recently ran into financial issues regarding treating him for urinary crystals as we cannot afford the prescription food on a monthly basis. As a result of this, it is with a heavy heart that we have made the hard decision to try and re-home. He is the friendliest cat I have ever owned and gets along extremely well with our other cat, Beans. As far as cats go he is unusually cuddly and loves being around people. We’ve never heard him hiss once. Please note he is more vocal than normal and chirps and meows throughout the day, a lively gentleman overall! Please keep in mind he has a requirement for prescription food, and we prefer someone who has experience with such matters, however, this is not explicitly necessary as long as he receives regular vet visits to ensure his well being! We have a large amount of toys and supplies, all free as needed :)

Story
Karma is a 1 year old female, spayed with ear tipped. Her mom was TNR’d when we found her litter and reunited them inside so mom could recover and finish weaning. Karma is 1 of the 5 kittens. Beautiful black with rust swirls in the right light. She is playful but very shy or timid. She is good with my older cats that respect her boundaries but she is fed up with her brothers bullying her. She loves to cuddle and very politely grabs your hand for pets (without claws)! She is so sweet and gentle. I am looking for a home with calm energy and patience for her to feel safe and become the companion she was meant to be. New home visit required before adoption. Transition supplies are included and covered by adoption fee.

Story
Bella is a 3 year old orange tabby who has bounced between homes. She does not get along with dogs or other cats, so I am looking to rehome her. She is an absolute sweetheart whose purr-motor works at 110%! She loves to explore and play. She has perfected the butt wiggle and pounce! She is very friendly with people and will come up and demand pets and scritches. Her meows sometimes sound like cute little frog erps. She is FIV/FeLV negative, had recent bloodwork (all within normal limits), is spayed, and has no medical conditions or current medications. As for adoption fee, I just ask that you demonstrate you are able to care for a pet with a receipt showing purchase of $200-300 worth of cat food, toys, litter/litter boxes. I also ask that you sign her up for pet health insurance - she is a perfect candidate as she has no pre-existing conditions.

Story
Meet Mama Bandit 🖤🤍 Bandit is a beautiful 2-year-old black and white tuxedo cat with striking green eyes who is finally ready for her first real home. She spent her early years as a stray, raising multiple litters and surviving on her own… never quite close enough to trust anyone. But she made it, and now she’s ready to just be a cat for the first time in her life. Calm, gentle, and simple in the best way♥️ Bandit wants love, a warm spot, and someone to play with. She’s not demanding, just ready to be someone’s whole world after a life of giving everything to others. She does best as the only cat or with younger cats. As a former stray and mother, she’s naturally dominant and can be territorial with cats her own age or older. Spayed ✅ | FVRCP & Rabies vaccinated ✅ (Spay and vaccines provided through PACC’s Snip n Tip program)

Story
She is a very sweet, but shy, girl! Overtime , she'll warm up to you and become very tender. She was likely mistreated when she was little by previous farm owners, so start slow. She loves taking care of, and being taken care by, her brothers. We love her, we just can't take care of her anymore. Treat this cuddly princess well.

Story
Teflon is a handsome young man (~3 years old) with a bit of a backstory. He came to me with no history other than animal control had brought him in with a degloved tail that needed to be amputated. His days of recovery have been spent melting into laps, sprawling out on the desk over arms, and begging for belly rubs. This cat is an absolute ham that just wants to spend hours sitting on your lap or in a kitty bed. In his spare time he can be spotted gazing out windows and bird watching or begging for some delicious cat food. Unfortunately, it can be assumed that a dog or coyote is the source of his tail needing amputation and he does not do well around dogs. Teflon would prefer a quiet household where he can be the center of attention and receive all the pets someone has to offer. He can cohabitate with another kitty if they are quieter but would do best in a home with 1 or no other cats. He is up to date with his vaccinations and is FIV / FeLV negative.
