Story
Meet Ellie Ellie is a sweet, affectionate cat who absolutely loves to snuggle. She will be 10 this year. Her favorite place is curled up in your lap or sleeping in bed with you. She enjoys playing with toys and spending quiet time relaxing with her people. Ellie would do best in a calm home where she can be the center of attention. She does not do well with dogs or other cats and would thrive as the only pet. She also needs a home without young children, as she has scratched my grandchildren who visit a few days each week. My goal is to find her a peaceful environment where she won’t feel stressed. She enjoys lounging in the sunshine on the back porch but is primarily an indoor cat. Ellie has gone camping with us and has her own cozy spot in the camper, though traveling isn’t really her favorite thing. Ellie is a loving companion who will make someone very happy in the right home where she can relax, snuggle, and be adored.

Story
Houdini and her sister were found behind a warehouse. We have had her for about a year and half (so she is about 2 years old). However her and her sister are not getting along anymore which has led to some behavioral issues. Houdini has decided not to use the litter box for bowel movements. We think this is because her sister will not leave her alone and unfortunately will not let her have her own litter box. When separated Houdini does use the litter box for bowel moments. There has never been an issue with urination outside the litter box. We feel she would be less stressed in a home where she is the only cat with her own litter boxes. She does well with our dog. She is a wonderful lap kitty where she will sit on your lap if you work remote during the day or if you watch a good movie in the evening. She loves a treat after a work day and has done great with free feeding! She also has a kinked tail. We just want her to not feel so stressed with another cat around and feel comfortable.

Story
Meet Bobsleigh, a gentle and mellow adult cat with a shy demeanor and an independent spirit. He takes a bit of time to warm up, but once he does, his affectionate side shines. Bobsleigh might enjoy the company of another cat who understands his need for gradual friendship. Ideal for a cat-savvy owner who appreciates a cat that blossoms on their own terms. Adopting Bobsleigh means giving him a chance to show just how rewarding a quiet and steady companion he can be.

Who are our Working Cats? Some cats are not social enough to live as indoor pets, and prefer an independent lifestyle. These cats have experience living outdoors and are proficient mousers. Since these kitties are happier and more successful outdoors, we put them to work in homes, farms, and businesses where they can do what they do best. All our blue collar kitties are spayed/neutered, ear tipped, and fully vaccinated. Why hire a Working Cat? By hiring a blue collar kitty, you can avoid using toxic pesticides, save money on a pest control service, and provide a home to a cat in need. Adoption fees are waived for our Working Cats. Cats are also more effective than other methods of pest control because they act as a deterrent!If you are interested in adopting a Working Cat, please visit the shelter in person to start the process.

Story
Not every cat wants to be held and that`s perfectly okay. Some of our most special felines are quiet souls who thrive in calm spaces, love cozy hideouts, and live for gourmet treats. They may not jump into your lap, but they`ll reward your patience with slow blinks, soft purrs, and quiet companionship.These cats are looking for homes where they can be themselves no loud chaos, just gentle voices, safe corners, and someone who understands that love takes time.Adoption fees discounted through our `Scaredy Cat` special
