Story
Two males both bonded since young (they are now 1&2 years old) Ginger, sweet and loving, the one year old is a little more easily scared and takes a little longer to adjust than the 2 year old. They have been around big and small dogs as well as babies and toddlers(I now have a 17 month old). They are litter box trained and very strict/clean cats and need their litter box tended to daily. Extremely sweet, love making biscuits, they are cuddly when laying down or chilling they love love. Mufasa (1 year old, darker) is more energetic, a little skiddish to loud noises, likes to play in boxes, scratch posts, and chasing things. Milo (lighter, 2 years old) likes to lay down, get rubbed on and eat. he will play with mufasa and likes to chase people when playing but wont initiate. (If you stare at him too long he thinks you’re initiating). Both love to eat a lot but I try to only let them eat twice a day (maybe 3). Looking for a calm, loving home for them whos patient

Story
Bunny is a loving affectionate cat. Bunny likes to look out the window from the highest location she can find. Sometimes she wants to curl up on your lap and other times she is content for hours hanging out in her cat tree. She is very curious.

Story
NOTE: The listing says she is microchipped, but she is not. I don't know how that got set and I can't find any way to edit this.I adopted Rozzy from a local shelter 3 years ago. She was a 5 month old kitten from a feral litter found after the mother was likely caught by a coyote. She is sweet but very skittish. She does not allow herself to be held, she would do best with other cats.

Story
Freya was rescued late January 2026. A mutual friend found her outside, abandoned by a family that moved away. Our family took her in. She was instantly comfortable in our home, and was very affectionate. Later, we discovered she had become pregnant while outside, and in March, she had her litter of kittens. Before rescuing Freya, we only had two boys, Guilly and Solaire. Guilly would hiss at Freya given the chance. We think that his reactions put her on edge and might have caused her to become physically defensive, as she's almost gotten into fights with both of the boys. For months we've tried unsuccessfully to reintroduce her to the rest. She's very lovey, playful and vocal. She's also very strong, and gives forceful head bumps. She's about 1-2, and has been spayed and gotten her shots done. It's heartbreaking, but we want her to find a home that can give her the focus she deserves. We don't like having to keep her separate but its for the safety of the other animals we do have.

Story
Chowder came to our shelter after suffering a urinary blockage in his original home. His owners sought medical care immediately, but when a second episode happened, they were not able to commit to his special needs for life. We took Chowder to our vet right away. Thankfully he was not blocked again, but instead had an episode of FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease). He did not have an infection or crystals, so our doctor can only assume stress caused his episode. Thankfully, Chowder recovered quickly and was back to his sweet self in no time. To keep him at his healthiest, he should remain on a wet food only diet (NO DRY) to assist in preventing any future episodes. A low stress home is ideal for him as stress is often what sets off episodes of FLUTD. Hero loves other cats and would love a playmate in his new home. Chowder is about 5 years old. He is neutered , vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped, feline leukemia/FIV negative, and is current on flea/tick preventative. Interested in meeting Chowder?
