Story
Drama is ready to bring a little flair and a lot of personality into her future home.Drama is a one year old tabby that came to us back in April as a sassy stray girl with plenty of opinions. In the beginning, she wanted attention strictly on her own terms and would dramatically demand affection with playful little headbutts before deciding she was done with you. True to her name, Drama always had something to say. Since settling in with us, Drama has come a long way and has shown us her softer side. While she still has her dramatic moments, she has learned how to coexist with other cats and should do well with a slow, patient introduction. Expect a little sass at first — she likes to make an entrance. Drama absolutely loves head rubs and never turns down wet food time. Once she trusts you, she enjoys soaking up attention and being the center of your world. If you are looking for a cat with personality, charm, and a little extra spice, Drama may be your perfect match. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed.

Story
Rita is a two year old tabby with a goofy personality and a heart full of love. She was surrendered to our facility alongside several other cats and arrived feeling pretty overwhelmed by all the unfamiliar sights and sounds of shelter life. Rita was quite thin when she came in and understandably nervous with all the noise and commotion around her. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for her true personality to start shining through. After just a day or two to decompress, Rita decided she was absolutely ready for pets, attention, and as much affection as she could get. Now, Rita is one of the silliest girls around. She’s constantly rolling around in her kennel, doing dramatic somersaults for attention, and meowing at anyone who walks by in hopes they’ll stop to visit her. She has a playful, charming personality that keeps everyone smiling. Rita also does well with other cats and would likely fit nicely into a home with feline companions. This sweet tabby is looking for a forever family that will appreciate her goofy antics, shower her with love, and help her continue gaining confidence and comfort. Rita has already come so far, and now she’s ready to trade shelter life for a cozy home where she can truly thrive. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed.

Story
Meet Flirt, a one-year-old sweetheart ready to find a loyal forever family of her own. Flirt’s story is a tough one—she was dropped off at a veterinary clinic for routine care and sadly never picked up by her owner. Through no fault of her own, she was abandoned and later brought to our facility. Now, she’s ready to leave that chapter behind and start fresh with someone who will truly cherish her. Flirt would prefer to be the only pet in the home so she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. She’s an independent girl who enjoys doing her own thing, but she’ll happily come over for affection, greeting you with adorable headbutts when she’s in the mood for pets. If you’re looking for a companion who will bond closely with you and be your one-and-only, Flirt is ready to steal your heart. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed.

Story
Cowboy Wayne is a four-year-old, big-hearted “thick boy” with a rugged past and a soft, loving soul. He was found as a stray in rough condition, with wounds on his legs and chin, a dirty coat, missing hair, and clearly in need of care. It’s evident that Wayne spent quite some time fending for himself outdoors, but through it all, he never lost his desire for human kindness and attention. Since coming into our care, Cowboy Wayne has been soaking up all the TLC he can get and has truly blossomed. He enjoys the simple comforts of indoor life—especially napping in his kennel on a soft, cozy blanket. He’s a big fan of wet food and absolutely melts for a good chin scratch. Wayne does well with other cats and seems to enjoy their company, making him a great addition to a multi-cat home. Cowboy Wayne is FIV-positive, but he wants future adopters to know that this doesn’t define his or limit his ability to live a happy, fulfilling life. With a low-stress indoor environment, quality nutrition, and routine veterinary care, cats with FIV can thrive just like any other feline. After everything he’s been through, Cowboy Wayne is ready to trade in the outdoor life for a safe, loving forever home where he can relax, be spoiled, and finally get the happy ending he deserves. His adoption fee is $80, and includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. He is already fixed.

Story
Harlow is a fluffy two year old cat with a quiet personality and a love for all things cozy. She was recently surrendered alongside a large group of other cats after her previous owner could no longer care for them. The cats had been living both indoors and outdoors, and each one had to be individually trapped and safely brought to our facility. Despite all the changes in her life, Harlow has remained a calm and gentle girl. She’s more on the shy and reserved side, preferring peaceful surroundings where she can curl up into a fluffy little ball and snooze the day away. One of her favorite spots at the shelter is inside our kitty casas, where she can tuck herself away for a comfortable nap. In her future home, Harlow would absolutely love a cozy nook, cat cubby, or quiet corner she can claim as her own. Harlow does well with other cats and seems comforted by their presence, making her a wonderful companion for a home with feline friends already in residence. She may not be the loudest or most demanding cat in the room, but Harlow has a soft sweetness about her that shines through once she feels safe and settled. She’s looking for a patient, loving home where she can finally relax, feel secure, and enjoy the quiet comforts she loves most. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed.

Story
Minnie is a bashful one year old girl that was found as a stray alongside another cat. When she first arrived, the shelter environment felt very big and overwhelming for such a sensitive soul. Minnie would often tuck herself underneath her blanket, burying herself away while she tried to adjust to all the new sights and sounds around her. But with patience, gentle pets, and soft words of encouragement, Minnie slowly began to let her guard down. Once she realizes she is safe, she absolutely melts in your arms and shows just how sweet and affectionate she truly is. She has a quiet, tender personality that makes every small moment of trust feel extra special. Minnie also does well with other cats and finds comfort in calm companionship. She is hoping to find a forever home with someone willing to give her the time and patience she needs to continue blossoming into the loving girl we know she is. Beneath her shy exterior is a cat that simply wants to feel safe, loved, and cherished. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed.
