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
Squeaky came to us as a stray, so her past is a mystery, but her gentle spirit shines through the moment she feels safe. She may be shy when you first meet her, taking her time to observe and settle in, but patience is rewarded with the sweetest affection. Once she trusts you, she leans into gentle pets and offers soft, adorable meows that sound more like squeaks - the charming quirk that inspired her name.Squeaky would thrive in an indoor home where she can become part of the family at her own pace. With kindness, consistency, and love, she blossoms into a loyal companion who brings quiet joy to her people.If you're looking for a tender, sensitive soul to welcome into your home, Squeaky might be the perfect match.

Cookie is a petite gal with a big personality and a whole lot of love to give-to the right home.

She prefers to be the only cat in the household, but she has successfully lived with-and even befriended-a dog in the past, so a cat-savvy canine friend could be a great match.A fully indoor kitty, Cookie is looking for a forever home that understands cat behavior and can offer her both love and mental stimulation, whether that's playtime, enrichment, or cozy companionship.
