Story
Freckles was part of a huge animal neglect case in a local county and our rescue took in 17 animals. He is a great cat and very loving but can be a bully to other cats. He enjoys being outside but we find he has snuck in all the time so we think he would love to transition to an inside baby.

Story
Dakota came to the rescue as a kitten over 2 years ago with her sister. They were not sociable and disliked the Petsmart environment so after a while we just stopped taking them. Recently, during vaccine updates we noticed Dakota seemed much more friendly and loving so she is back on the list and available. She has waited a long time.

Story
Darcy showed up at someone's house and they thought she was a kitten. Turns out she was an adult and possibly had already had a litter of kittens herself. Darcy is the most mild mannered and sweet cat I have ever brought into my rescue. Right away she was fine with all the other cats and is very affectionate and loving. She keeps to herself but when approached is always ready to kiss your hand
