Story
My name is Kimchi and I’m as cute as they come. I’m equal parts playful and cuddly. I’m very sweet and will snuggle up to you when it’s time to nap. When I’m awake, I love to play! I am a kitten after all. I have lots of energy and I love company. I would love a kitty/cat friend to play with. I’m looking for a fun and loving furever home!

Hi, I’m Jack! I’m about 5 years old, and I’m a strong, handsome tabby guy. I spent my youth bouncing around from foster home to foster home, and now I’m at the lounge where I’m looking to meet my perfect match. I’m a calm, gentle, easy going guy who likes pets from my human friends and naps at the top of my favorite cat tree. I enjoy the company of other cats, but I would be just as happy being your one and only. I’m excited to meet my human who will be the lucky recipient of all my love!

Story
**Currently on hold pending vet appointment for dental cleaning, but still able to meet potential adopters** Smudge and his brother Oreo were adopted from us 5 years ago as kittens and recently surrendered back to us due to their owner’s failing health. They are adjusting to their new circumstances and are coming around more day by day. Smudge is incredibly affectionate and loves pets from volunteers. They are looking for a quiet, predictable and understanding home that will let them adjust on their own time. They have lived with a calm dog but have not been around children. These two sweet boys are hopeful for their second chance at forever. If you have it in your heart to give them what they deserve, please make a reservation to meet the guys.

Story
Helloooo friends, my name is Tori. I’m a 2 year old gal who is looking for a home alongside my sister Sia. We were both teen moms, and now that our babies have all found their homes, it’s our turn! We are great friends, and we are often seen cuddling and grooming each other. We are social with cats and humans, and quite stunning if I may say so myself. I’m a little more of an observer than Sia is, but trust me, I love playtime like no other! I like to hunt puff ball toys around the lounge, carry them in my mouth, and sing the song of my people while proudly waltzing around the lounge so all the humans look at me and tell me what a good job I did. If you have it in your heart to open up your home to two wonderful gals, we promise to provide unconditional love, loads of purrs and tons of laughs.

Story
Hey friends, I’m Betty. I’m a year old and I was born with the cutest tail known to mankind; it looks like a corkscrew! When I arrived at the lounge with my mom and brother Ben, we were quite scared, but we’ve really settled in and started showing our personalities. I enjoy pets from my favorite volunteers and have even accepted a belly rub here and there when I’m feeling extra relaxed. I’m the master of playtime and I may or may not have dismantled a few wand toys during play sessions. Sorry, not sorry! I enjoy the company of other cats, and I have main character energy, so the other cats I live with should be ok with taking a little direction from said main character. What does my forever home look like? I’m flexible. I get along really well with my brother Ben, we “get” each other, and I would be happy going home with him. I would also be up for meeting a new well matched pal, and I sure as heck wouldn’t say no to being the main character forever in my home.
