Story
Meet Otis & Smokey: bonded brother cats (7.5 years old) looking for a loving home together. Otis and Smokey are incredibly friendly, affectionate, and love to cuddle. They enjoy being around people and make wonderful, gentle companions. They’ve lived both indoor and outdoor lifestyles and could adapt to either, though currently they spend about 90% of their time indoors. They are good with children, we have a playful toddler and they been patient and calm around her. Both cats are up to date on vaccinations, have no known medical issues, and are in excellent health. We can provide all accessories, including an automatic feeder, robot litter tray, cat house, and other supplies. This is a very hard decision. We’ve had Otis and Smokey since they were kittens and love them deeply, but due to allergies and our growing family, we’re no longer able to give them the attention they deserve. They are bonded brothers and we are hoping to keep them together in their next home.

Story
Presenting Lord Harrington, a truly regal gentleman with a magnificent, fluffy coat and an air of quiet sophistication. This distinguished boy may take a little time to warm up, but once you’ve earned his royal trust, he’ll reward you with loyalty, affection, and even the occasional royal headbutt. He prefers to take introductions slowly—after all, every great ruler must first assess his kingdom—but with patience and kindness, Lord Harrington reveals the gentle heart that lies beneath his noble exterior.

Story
Hello, I'm Lilly! As a spirited senior cat, I cherish my independence but love a good playful chase of my wand toys too. Although independent, I am rather indifferent and tolerant to dogs and other cats. Whether basking in the sun indoors or exploring the great outdoors, I'm always up for a mousing adventure. I've got plenty of energy and affection to share, purring and talkative with pets. I'm hoping for a safe, quiet home/yard during my golden years. If you're looking for a companion who's as lively as they are loving, I'm your girl. Adopt me and let's start our fun-filled journey together!

Story
Murphy is a sturdy, fluffy senior sweetheart with a talent for finding the coziest hiding spots. He was surrendered with his brother after their owner moved into assisted living. Friendly and gentle, Murphy enjoys attention but is just as happy curling up for a quiet nap—often tucked away in a comfy closet nook. Once a stray who found his way to a kind doorstep, he has lived mostly indoors but has enjoyed safe outdoor time before, making supervised or enclosed outdoor access a nice bonus.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Scamper is a curious, clever, and agile young brown tabby from Best Friends Sanctuary who’s always aiming for new heights—whether it’s a window ledge, cat tree, or the highest shelf he can conquer—and he loves observing his world from above. Social and playful with other cats, he’d enjoy having a feline friend to romp or snooze with, while with people he’s sweet but prefers a gentle, respectful approach as he needs a bit of time and space to open up. A quieter home without small children will help him feel secure as he explores at his own pace, and if you have room to climb and a calm vibe to match his, Scamper might just be your next great adventure buddy.
