Story
Peaches is a very sweet, shy baby. She was rescued when she was very tiny (we think about 6 weeks old) as she was abandoned by her mother on a farm. She has lived in one house her whole 10-year-old life with two older sisters who just passed away at 17 and 19 years old. She never bonded with either housemate as she has always kept to herself. Peaches is a bit anxious, and there have been too many changes in our home. So we feel she would do best in a single-cat home where she can bond with her owner and not worry about other animals. Peaches is affectionate and will hop on your lap when the weather is chilly but she is not really a cuddler. However; if she was a single cat she just might become more likely to cuddle. She is playful and curious. She loves Chicken and Churu Treats! Peaches will lie in a sunbeam in the window as long as the sun can reach her! Peaches has been fixed and declawed in the front paws only.

Story
Looking for the perfect companion to snuggle up to at bedtime? Or a plus one for your trip to the bathroom? If so, Kahvi is your guy! He feels most at home sitting in someone’s lap, content to just spend time with you (though he does love spring toys if you have any to spare). Kahvi is a little over 2 years old, and was found wandering the streets with some allergy issues. He is currently being treated for this, and he’s already grown most of his glossy hair back! Since becoming an indoor cat, we have discovered that he does not like to share the spotlight and does not do well in environments with other cats, but would adore having his very own human (or humans!) to call his own.

Story
Say hello to Mary-Kate and Ashley! These sweet girls were abandoned around Christmas, and we took them in to get them out of the cold. We took them to the vet- they are healthy, spayed, and vaccinated. They are 5-6 years old. They have been through a lot together and are very close. That is why they are listed together- we do not want them separated. They are very calm and loving cats. They are very affect to each other and people. They love attention and are social. Thanks for considering these two. Because we have other rescues, they are staying in our garage. They deserve a home where they can get more attention and love.
