Story
If you are looking for a cuddly and chill cat, look no further. I got my beloved cat 4.5 years ago, when she was a tiny kitten. Now she is 5 years old, and is the calmest and cuddliest kitty of them all. She is very low maintainance and will only meow when you go to pet her. Mostly, she will sleep in your lap or around you. I am moving out of the country and cannot take all 3 of my pets, so looking to rehome her, since she is the easiest to handle by a new parent. I am sure in my heart, that you will be able to give her the best life here in USA.

Story
If you need a calm, chill, super cuddly and overall low maintainance kitty, look no further! Oreo is all that. She plays in the morning and evening but sleeps about 14 hours a day. She loves watching the world from the window or relaxing on the screened patio. She has never been an outdoor cat, so it’s unclear how she would react to a home with a barn or outdoor roaming. Her daily routine is simple: she wakes up, eats, cuddles, plays, then naps peacefully throughout the day on the patio or on her cat tree. In the evening, she becomes active again for 2–3 hours before settling down for the night. She gets along well with pets (doga and cats), and people who match her calm, gentle energy — she’s not comfortable with hyperactive animals or rough handling. She is low-maintenance and, most importantly, thrives in a quiet, stable environment. She is fully up to date on vaccinations and does not require any medications.

This is Dust Mite and her brother Baron. They are 2-3 months old and have so much energy and love to give! We would hope they could be adopted together but are open to adoption of just one of them if it's to the right home.

Story
Cosmo came to my daughter as a young kitten. She was out for a walk and he boldly came out of the woods near our house. She scooped him up and brought him home. She moved to go to college, and because her roommates also have cats who aren't the best with other cats, Cosmo is staying in her small bedroom at all times. He's stressed and needs more space. He is used to being around other cats and dogs and does well with them if they aren't aggressive.

Story
This adorable little tuxedo kitty needs a good home! We rescued him recently and we are fostering him hoping to find a new forever-home and family. He is a neutered male approximately 2.5 years old. He has all his vaccinations and is in excellent health. He’s probably one of the sweetest kitties you can meet. He’s a cuddler, a purr-box and loves to be with you in your lap, snuggles next to you, crawls into your arms and rolls upside down so you can rub his belly. He loves to take a nap and cuddle with you. He LOVES people. He gets along with two of our cats, but not the oldest two which is why we need to find him a forever-home (yes we have 4 cats already!). This kitty is 100% heart and we truly wish we could keep him. Please let us know if you would like to meet him. There's no adoption fee requested... we only request that he goes to a very loving home and is cared for, doted on, and nurtured. His personality and heart are huge and he deserves a good human friend.

Story
Lila is a sweet, tiny (only 5.9 lbs!), quirky girl who would love a quiet household that will give her the attention she missed out on for so long. She loves snuggling with people, coconut flakes (instead of treats?!), toys, and belly rubs. She's also got a bit of RBF--all part of her charm! Lila came to us when her family lost their home. She is 6 years old, all of which she spent hiding in the garage because she was terrified of their dogs. Due to her trauma, she must go to a dog-free home. She is still adjusting to life as part of a family, but would thrive and may prefer to be your only cat, and not be around small children. We are experienced fosters with a local rescue, but are fostering Lila independently as her circumstances fall outside of the rescue's purview. We will still follow best practices to ensure that Lila is matched with the best home for her. :-) Learn more about our adoption policies, ask questions, & apply here: https://forms.gle/C5Rm2vDuyVyTi4zPA
