Story
Stella is a 4-year-old female. She is spayed and microchipped and updated on her shots as of May 2026. She does have claws. Her first owner went into a nursing home and her friends asked me to take her but I was given almost no information about her other than she was 4, not spayed and no vet care. She does seem to have been treated very well.I have had her since May but she is being very aggressive with my 15-year-old cat so she is being kept in her little penthouse suite for now. Stella is a princess and sweetheart. She loves string and toys with feathers but finds other toys boring. Boxes are fun. Put a blanket on your lap and she will settle in immediately. She loves treats. She prefers wet food - chicken is ok but fishy flavors are best. She prefers Fancy Feast and Blue Buffalo Tasty Tastefuls. High maintenance kitty! I think it would be best if she were in a home with no other cats unless they are kittens. Ideally adults with no kids/older kids.

Story
She was an outside cat but she got clipped by a car and we had to bring her inside to heal about a year ago and we didnt have the heart to put her back outside. She is very affectionate and loves attention. We just cant keep her having 2 males cats she does not like. She does not like sharing a litterbox with the boys and will pee elsewhere if the box is not completely clean. We tried everything to get her to stop, adding more boxes, sprays, calming pull-ins, even fixing her but that did not work either. She does have anxiety and does not like to be picked up but will sit on your lap as long as you dont try to hold her down or confine her.

Story
Luna is older and a calm cat that needs someone who will show her attention and love her as we did. Unfortunately I’m unable to take her with us on our move. Luna loves to snuggle, & meow when I’m on the phone.She does have some anxiety so being around other animals isn’t a great environment for her!

Story
I found Louise outside in March, and immediately fell in love with her sweet and playful personality. Unfortunately, she does NOT like other cats and YES we have tried everything. She needs to be in a one-cat house, but is the biggest sweetheart with people.

Story
Meet Poppy – A Sweet Soul Ready to Blossom 🌸🐾 Born on May 19th, 2024, Poppy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. She’s a little shy and looking for a patient adopter who will help her come out of her shell and let her true personality shine. Poppy loves the company of other cats, so she’d thrive in a home with feline friends who can help her feel comfortable. Poppy is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus positive), but don’t let that discourage you! With the right care, she can live a long, happy life. She’s searching for a cozy, loving home where she can be the only feline enchantress or live with other FIV+ kitties. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will blossom with your love and care, Poppy is ready to find her forever home with you.

Story
😺 Meet Matthew! 😺 Matthew is our big baby boy — a little ham-and-cheese who loves to talk, talk, talk! He’s full of personality and will happily keep you entertained with his constant chatter and goofy charm. Matthew is looking for an adult-only home where he can be the star. He does great with other cats, but because he is FIV+, he’ll need to go home with another FIV+ cat or as the only cat in the household. 👉 What’s FIV? Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is a condition that weakens a cat’s immune system over time. With good care, FIV+ cats can live long, happy, healthy lives — they just need a little extra monitoring. Matthew may be FIV+, but what really defines him is his sweet, talkative, and silly nature. 💕 He’s ready to find his forever family who will love him just the way he is! 📍 Come meet Matthew and see if he’s the ham you’ve been missing in your life.
