Story
Hello! My name is Shine, I am 2years old, spayed Female. I am still learning to trust but would love it if you would give me the chance to learn from you! I love head rubs, squeeze tubes & my wet food. As I am still unsure about the world, I think I would do best in a home without children. I'd love somewhere to have some good naps, somewhere calm & loving. I currently live with some friends from the same property as me and I like having them around. If you think I would be a good match for your home, or you want to know more about me, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. I look forward to meeting you!

Gulliver is a very sweet boy looking for his forever home. This little guy LOVES people and he will let you know! He loves to talk to you and tell you how upset he is if you are not paying enough attention to him. Although coming from a home with other cats, he would prefer to be the king of the castle with only you to serve him. He is playful and cuddly and looking for a home that can keep him company while he tells you stories. Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 3.485 Age: 0yrs 7mths 1wks

Story
Tiny Tim - The Heart of the LittleTiny Tim isn't named for his size, but for his sweet looks and gentle, lovable personality. Though he may be overlooked at first because of his subtle coloring and slightly gimpy appearance, to the right person he will be a constant reminder of hope, resilience, and love.Tim may start out shy, but once he feels comfortable, he blossoms into an affectionate, kind, and gentle little companion, spreading joy and warmth wherever he goes. He loves playtime, enjoys company, and thrives in a home where he feels appreciated, safe, and supported.Tiny Tim would do best in a low-to-mid energy household with people who value patience, quiet companionship, and lots of affection. He also enjoys the company of friendly pets, making him happiest in a home where he can share love and play with gentle animal friends. Tim is the perfect little heart-stealer for someone ready to appreciate his unique charm and shower him with love. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 3.56 Age: 0yrs 6mths 0wks

Story
💙 Meet Blue - A Gentle Senior Seeking a Very Special HomeBlue is a sweet, 12-year-old senior gentleman who deserves the very best affection and companionship. He's looking for a very patient, understanding adopter who can offer him the calm, loving home he truly deserves.Blue has ongoing urinary issues that require consistent monitoring, a stable routine, and an experienced caregiver who understands (or is willing to learn about) managing feline urinary needs. Because of this, Blue will do best as the only pet in a peaceful, low-stress home where he can feel safe, supported, and never rushed.Despite his medical needs, Blue has so much love left to give. He enjoys gentle attention, cozy resting spots, and simply being near his person. He's a loyal soul who forms deep bonds with those who care for him.Blue's ideal family is patient, compassionate, and committed to giving a senior cat the comfort and dignity he deserves in his golden years. If you have experience with urinary-prone cats-or are dedicated to learning-and want to make a meaningful difference for a senior friend, Blue may be the perfect match.Blue is ready to share his quiet heart with someone special. Could that someone be you? Primary Color: Chocolate Secondary Color: Seal Point Weight: 6.445 Age: 12yrs 4mths 0wks

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Brownie is a sweet boy who is full of character. He came in with his siblings, Cupcake and Oreo, through a large-scale intake. After a couple weeks of love and care, he is now ready to be adopted! Brownie is a little shy at first but once he opens up, he is the funniest cat you'll ever meet! Not only is he a professional ball chaser but he is also quite good at gymnastics. Often, he can be found on the tallest cat tree in the room. His balancing skills are almost as good as his landing skills! If you would like to learn more about Brownie, or even one of his siblings, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire to see if he is a good match for your household.
