Story
Lizzie and Gordo are a lovely bonded pair of tuxedo cats looking for a home on the quiet side. They may be a bit shy at first (mostly Gordo), but give them a little time to adjust and watch their personalities come out! Lizzie is a sweet, vocal girl who loves to show affection with rubs and head bunts. She enjoys wand toy play and helps boost Gordo's confidence. Gordo takes a little longer to warm up, but each day his playfulness and affection grows. He needs a gentle approach and a safe place to hide until he feels safe. These two kitties wanted outside time in their previous home, so they may enjoy playtime in a safe yard. If classy, tuxedo cats catch your eye, you have a bit of patience while they acclimate, and you're ready for double the love and fun, Lizzie and Gordo may be your match! ***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 8.6 Age: 1yrs 3mths 2wks

Story
Tuna (previously Luna) is a confident, curious, friendly girl with an adorable bobbed tail! This beautiful young cat loves people and enjoys head rubs. Our shelter volunteers say she's the "life of the party", charming everyone with her friendly antics and irresistible sweetness. She is not only outgoing and social, but also playful and affectionate.Tuna thrives on company and attention, always ready to dive into any game you can dream up. At just two years old, she's full of playful energy and endless curiosity - break out the wand toy and she's ready to have a ball. She's also got her own delightful quirks - watch her pounce after her favorite "mousey" toy or chirp out a cheerful greeting when playtime calls. But every star needs an intermission, and when Tuna's tail starts twitching and those eyes grow wide, she's just asking for a little solo "Tuna-time." !Become Tuna's trusted human, and you'll gain a loyal sidekick - one who's always eager to "help" with chores or simply lounge by your side, purring away and sprinkling your days with joy and laughter.. Tuna did not do well with the young children in her previous home, nor has she been crazy about other cats at the shelter. If you are ready for loads of fun and love, Tuna has a lot to give! ***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Buff Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 13.6 Age: 2yrs 5mths 3wks

If 2026 is your year for endless cuddles and heart to hearts with your new BFFs, then you'll want to take home these super sweet companions, Mac and Charlie! They are handsome boys with very soft sleek black coats! They would love being social and lots of playtime activities. Give them plenty of time to get used to any new friendly pets and also their new homes, in a kitten proof room to start and enjoy lavishing them with all of the treats and toy spoils that they deserve, either adopted as a pair or individually.

Story
Zingo is a fun-loving 12-week-old brown tabby boy with a white underside and an endless supply of energy. Playtime is his passion, and he's a master at multitasking his entertainment: zooming through the cat tunnel, then popping his head out to swat at a ring toy without missing a beat. He loves to surround himself with his toys and play with each one in turn. He nibbles on pipe cleaners and balls, tosses them into the air, and proudly carries his treasures around in his mouth. None of your office supplies are safe either; he'll happily knock a pen onto the floor just for the fun of it. His siblings are equally entertaining partners in crime. Zingo might initiate a chase, do a dramatic pre-pounce butt wiggle, or leap straight into the air when a sibling charges at him. True to his namesake, Zingo has boundless spirit and will keep playing long after the others have curled up for a nap, often sprinting through the house at top speed. When it's time to slow down, Zingo enjoys his quieter moments too. He's happy to sit by your side, keeping you company and soaking up your presence. Like his siblings, he comes when called, especially if food is involved. Zingo is bonded with his siblings Yahtzee, Boggle, and Jenga and should be adopted with one of them, or there should be a young active cat in the house.

(Notes from my foster home)Tinsel is a fabulous kitten playful, snuggly, so soft, not scared, not shy. Happy being held and scratched by anyone. Great attitude and vibe, purrs when I walk up to him. Sometimes comes when called. Loves running and jumping and climbing and jumping and wrestling with his siblings. Would do well in any household.

Hi, I'm Lorena! I'm a sweet, gentle kitty who loves cuddling, pets, and play. Although I may be a bit shy and need a little time to warm up, I'm eager to make new friends.
