Story
Pete (yes a girl!) is a sweet kitty who needs a quite home. She is completely deaf, which has caused her to become more scared and jumpy as she has gotten older. She is front declawed and would come with all of her items! Hoping to rehome her to a great home!

Story
Levi is one year and 3 days old. Very very friendly. Very playful. Very ditzy typical orange cat. I adopted him and his brother from Virginia Beach a year ago and they have grown up together. However, his brother is the more social of the two when it comes to a household of more than two cats. Levi does not get into fights with cats, not from his litter and he does not aim to intimidate however, there are more than two cats in the household. We hypothesized that he will misbehave due to territorial reasons, especially other males. As his owner, since he was a kitten at 8 weeks, I'm confident whoever adopts him will be very glad they did so. I would love to keep him, however I believe a better home is out there for him.

Story
Delilah is about 4 years old. I originally got her from my mom, who found her as a kitten. She is a very independent “cat-like” personality- she enjoys her space and isn’t overly fond of constant petting. That said, she has a sweet and affectionate side in her own way. At bedtime, she loves to curl up between your legs and sleep, which is her special way of bonding. Delilah absolutely loves Churu treats and will happily come running for them! She would do best in a home without other female cats, as she hasn’t gotten along well with mine. I’m looking for a patient and understanding home that will appreciate her unique personality and give her the love and stability she deserves.

Story
We found Spooky back in October of 2025 and she has been living in our basement since! She is a spunky lady, loud, and not scared to tell you how she feels. Very sweet and cuddly. Absolutely LOVES laps. She also likes playing with string toys in her car tunnel. DOES NOT get along with other cats! I'm not sure if it's just because of mine but they do not get along :( Hence why we need to rehome her.

Story
Ama is a super-sweet 6-year-old cat with a big personality! We adopted her about 5 years ago from a foster rescue. She’s a great companion and loves to play and cuddle. She has the most beautiful black coat and yellow eyes. She loves people! She will snuggle with you on the couch, watch birds out the window, and hang out in the sun while you work. She’s an independent diva while also being a cuddly lap cat. She’s really a great girl!She’s gotten more stressed over the years in our home though, which is why we’ve made the difficult decision to find her a new home. We have three small kids, and while she’s never been aggressive towards them, she’s gotten very anxious over time and we believe she just needs a calmer environment that we can’t provide. Ama will make a great friend for someone with a quiet environment for her where she can get all the snuggles but feel in charge. If you’re looking for a playful cuddle-buddy, Ama’s your girl!

Story
Peaches is approximately 3 and a half years old and has been spayed. She is up to date on all her vaccinations. She has been an indoor only cat and we have had her since she was 10 weeks old. We adopted her from a local family and have been the only owner since she was a kitten. One look at her, and you will see why she stands out and not just for her beautiful soft coat, which is the softest I have ever felt, but for her lively personality. She can be shy when meeting new people. If you are patient and allow her time to adjust, you will find she is incredibly friendly and loving. One thing to note is that Peaches has a single bad habit: she is attracted to chewing on adhesive labels, plastic and cords. Simple cord protectors have worked well. We hope to find someone who will cherish her as much as we do.
