Story
This is Blair. We found Blair underneath a bridge when she was just a baby. She had fleas and a badly burned paw from the pavement. We immediately took her to the vet for shots and tried to find her a home then. We had no luck. All our local rescues are also full. We got her spayed shortly after at our local vet. Blair has been with us for almost 2 years. We have 2 senior cats at home and while Blair was small everyone got along just fine. The older Blair has gotten the more aggressive and territorial she has become to our seniors. She's incredibly playful, curious, and high energy. We've tried for over a year trying everything for a peaceful co-habitation. But now my seniors live in constant states of stress running and hiding and being attacked. I think Blair would do great with younger cats that want to play or in a single cat household. She is very loving and wants to be around you wherever you are. We'd love her to get a second chance before having to go to the shelter.

Story
Looking to re-home our sweet, playful little street Taco! He's estimated about 6-8 months old, and is completely healthy and "normal" despite having an FeLV diagnosis. This post is intended for pet parents educated about Feline Leukemia, with no other cats, or with other cats with confirmed FeLV diagnoses. We rescued Taco when he suddenly appeared outside our house, emaciated and VERY sick with an upper respiratory infection. After some intense care getting him nursed back to health, we're looking for someone dedicated, who's willing to give this baby a calm, specialized environment to thrive in. He's been de-wormed and had flea treatment, and will be neutered and given shots when an adopter has been found. Adoption fee is intended to offset the $600~ we've put into his care, but I'm willing to discount or waive the adoption fee for the right pet parent. I'm also willing to throw in his favorite toys, some treats, and whatever else will help ease his transition to his forever home!

Story
Hi! I’m reposting Fiji and Coco again. I’ve tried to keep them but due to allergies, they really must go :(. This is Fiji (grey) and her sister is Coco (brown). They are 2 bonded sisters. I have had them since they were kittens. They were born ~ June 2023. They came vaccinated and I had both of them spayed (Apr 2025). They are such good cats. They are great with kids. They play very nicely with each other. Potty trained. They will come with everything we have for them: litter boxes, food and cat wall shelves. I am very sad to have to rehome them but unfortunately, I cannot keep them. I want them to go to a home together. I really need to know that they're going to a good home.
