Story
Zoey is a lovely, gentle cat who would prefer to live in a home with a human to interact with during the day. Zoey was rescued from the SPCA in September 2025 and has been living in a small condo without access to the outdoors, but this does not agree with Zoey. Zoey would prefer to live in a loving home with access to the outdoors. Zoey feels frustrated that she only has 500 square feet of territory, and that her people are only awake in her home for 5 hours a day. She would prefer that her humans worked from home or are retired so that she may play and cuddle with them between her naps, then be let out at night to play, but only after she's comfortable in her new home. Zoey is scared of new people, but warms up to them with treats. Zoey is 2 years old and the SPCA shared that she doesn't get along well with other cats. Zoey comes with everything you need for her: carrying bag, litter box, a 5ft cat tree, toys & food. Please reach out if you think you can provide what Zoey needs.

Story
Meet Martique - a gentle soul with a soft heart and a shy sparkle.Martique is a lovely domestic medium hair girl who carries herself with quiet grace. She can be a bit shy at first, but once she feels safe, her sweetness shines through in the most endearing ways. She's the kind of cat who blossoms with patience, calm voices, and a cozy spot where she can observe her world at her own pace. Martique has lived with other cats and may do well living with a feline friend. Looking ahead, Martique will likely need a dental procedure in a year or two to keep her teeth healthy and comfortable - a bit of routine care that will help her stay feeling her best. Martique is awaiting a spay surgery and will need a local family who can drop her off back to us for her appointment. If you're hoping to welcome a gentle, affectionate companion who will reward your kindness with quiet loyalty and soft purrs, Martique may be the perfect addition to your home.

Story
Moose's ideal home is a calm, patient household with predictable routines and no small children, where he can feel safe and slowly build trust. A home with one or more friendly, cat-savvy cats would is needed, giving him companionship and confidence! He could also do well with a very respectful, calm dog in addition to a cat friend. Above all, he needs a family who understands that the most meaningful bonds are built with time, patience, and gentle love.Moose is the kind of cat who feels deeply and loves quietly. After spending the last four weeks in foster care, his true self is beginning to emerge-a gentle, sensitive boy with the softest heart. Moose takes his time learning who is safe, watching carefully before offering his trust. When the world feels overwhelming, he doesn't lash out or get angry. Instead, he tucks himself away, waiting patiently for calm and kindness. And when that kindness comes? Moose slowly blossoms.With a quiet voice, a steady presence, and a few reassuring scritches, Moose begins to step out of his shell. First, he'll linger nearby. Then he'll politely ask for pets... and before long, he'll gently insist on them, complete with his sweet, chatty little commentary. He's a vocal boy when he wants to tell you something, and it only adds to his charm.Moose has an especially tender heart for other cats. He truly adores them and is incredibly kind and gentle when meeting new feline friends. Their companionship helps him feel safe and confident, and he would thrive in a home with one or more friendly cats. He loves to play, has a big appreciation for mealtime, and enjoys curling up on the bed at bedtime-though he's also perfectly content with quiet "cat time" when the house is calm.Moose is a loving boy who doesn't ask for much-just time, reassurance, and space to be exactly who he is, without pressure or expectations. In return, he offers a deep, steady kind of love that grows stronger every day. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 3.6 Age: 1yrs 2mths 0wks

Story
Meet Beef Stew 🖤-a sleek black cat with a gentle heart and a name as comforting as his personality. Beef Stew is on the shy side at first, preferring quiet corners and slow introductions, but once he feels safe, his loyalty shines through. He's the kind of companion who will keep you company from a respectful distance... until one day you realize he hasn't left your side.He's also the kind of cat who thrives when he has a bit of the outdoors to observe safely. Access to a catio or other secure outdoor space would be a wonderful enrichment for him - he loves fresh air, bird-watching, and lounging in sunny spots where he can keep an eye on the world. He has lived with other cats before and may do well with a friend.Right now, Beef Stew is a bit rounder than he'd like to be, and he's looking for a patient, caring human to help him on his weight-loss journey. With encouragement, playtime at his pace, and lots of understanding, he's ready to become a healthier, happier version of himself. If you're someone who believes love, consistency, and a little teamwork can change a life, Beef Stew might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Astrid - a striking Savannah mix with a personality as vibrant as her markings. She's the kind of cat who always has something to say, whether she's chirping for attention, narrating her day, or simply reminding you that she's nearby. True to her breed, Astrid is curious, clever, and wonderfully interactive. She'll follow you from room to room, supervise your tasks with great seriousness, and then happily curl up beside you when it's time to unwind.Astrid has recently undergone a nasal flush to investigate some ongoing nasal discharge. While we're still waiting on results, there is a possibility she may have a chronic condition that could require occasional management in the future - things like periodic antibiotics or additional nasal flushes to keep her comfortable and protect her nasal turbinates. Aside from this, she's a healthy, active indoor cat who's ready to bring joy, conversation, and companionship into the right home.If you're looking for a cat with spirit, affection, and a whole lot of character, Astrid may be your perfect match. She's eager for a family who will love her, listen to her stories, and give her the forever home she deserves. Primary Color: Brown Tabby Secondary Color: Spotted Weight: 5.2 Age: 2yrs 7mths 4wks
