Story
Mushroom is a 10 month old cat that needs a loving home. He is very friendly, litterbox trained, and good around other cats.He is neutered, rabies vaccinated, and ear tipped. I want him to have a good home, so he is free. His vet records are pictured and will be given to you with your adoption. He is currently living outside, so he probably has fleas. He sticks around everyday and loves to rub up on my legs. He is playful and a good cat.

Story
Bella is done being a mommy to not only her own litter, but others I've brought to her for help. It's her turn to find a family. She is now permanently living in my enclosed porch and I am just not able to keep her there forever. She deserves more attention and a bigger space than I am able to give her. She would thrive inside or be an inside/outside cat if you had a farm or barn. She is very loyal to her person. She is weary and protective if unknown people come into her space. She is my guard "cat". She is great with kittens but doesn't care for adult cats in her face. I wouldn't suggest children because I have not tested her with them. Bella is absolutely perfect with me. If a stranger were to enter my home without me nearby, she may attack. That being said, she loves to lay on my lap, be held like a baby and watch out the window. She truly is an amazing cat, but needs someone who understands her boundaries and limitations with other humans.

Story
Princess was born in a barn during winter and brought inside to survive the cold. She later got pregnant by her brother and had kittens, but did not care for them. She has been inside all her life. She loves people, but does not enjoy being touched or cuddled, but tolerates it. She likes to sit next to you and vibe. She loves other cats, especially kittens. She tolerates dogs. She'll stand her ground with my cat chasing dog. Unfortunately, she's just not good with the litterbox and we can't figure out why. We're not sure if it's because we aren't clean enough. She would do well in a clean house with some other cats. She eats well and doesn't shed much. She has caught and killed mice before. She's not super playful. She's never scratched anyone as far as I know and she's been around very grabby toddlers. Let me know if you have any other questions, we just got he fixed.

Story
This sleek, all-black beauty is the perfect mix of playful energy and affectionate charm. With bright, curious eyes and a soft, glossy coat, she loves to explore her surroundings—and then curl up nearby to keep you company. We rescued her in Herrin last summer. She is small for her age and very friendly. She loves to play with us and our other cats.

Story
ooking for a loving home for this sweet girl. ❤️🐾 I wish so badly I could keep her, but she and my other two cats just aren’t getting along, and it’s causing everyone a lot of stress. She is incredibly sweet, loves both being inside and outside, follows me everywhere, and is very cuddly. She would do best as the only cat, where she can get all the love and attention she deserves. If you or someone you know is looking for the sweetest companion, please message me. I’d love to find her the perfect home.
