Story
Lucy is a 10-year-old mixed breed calico lady, a gentle snugglebug who likes to lay alongside you or in your lap once she gets to know you. She was adopted from a shelter as a "teenager" (young but past kittenhood) and has been a sweet companion to an elderly couple. She can be a bit timid at first in a new situation, and likes to have a dark place to hide while she gets the lay of the land, but she has been the dominant cat in her two-cat household and won't take long to show her queenly colors again. Her companion, Little Bit (who is a larger but more timid cat) is also going up for adoption at the same time. They can be adopted together or separately.

Story
Oreo and Fury are a bonded pair with a gentle, quiet bond. Oreo came into our lives in May 2022 from a family friend and is calm, reserved, and sweet, taking time to warm up but offering loving companionship once he feels safe. He does best in a quiet, patient home and enjoys being nearby without needing constant attention. Fury was rescued in October 2022 from an abandoned garage and is a shy but playful and talkative black cat with limited vision due to glaucoma in one eye. Loud noises can startle her, but Oreo’s steady presence gives her comfort and confidence. Together, they are looking for a calm, loving home that understands shy pets and values patience and trust.

Story
My daughter had found her in the summertime in Palm Springs with her feet blistered and skinny with her ribs exposed. She was feral for a bit she was skittish at first but now she is a doll ! She is fixed and microchipped we expected her to fit in with our other animals . Well I have an older cat who she doesn’t get along with as well as my dog. I think she like all the attention and doesn’t share well ! She loves the windows and sunshine . Also enjoys being high up . She is a sweet cat very independent but she is getting better about being held . I she’s never been and she’s never scratched at any people . Definitely feel she needs to be the only animal. That can certainly change overtime.
