Story
I was supposed to temporarily foster Mina. Her parent, cut off all contact and surrendered rights to me. She is known to be about 1 1/2 years old. Has grown up with an adult cat and does well with her. Loves to play, with lasers and rolled up sticky notes are her favorite. Very needy and attention seeking. Would probably do best in a house with children or older children who can give her the play time she needs.

Story
Petunia is a very special kitty. She was found running the streets, with one front leg being deformed/undeveloped. The vet recommends it be amputated so she will be adopted out as a three-legged kitty. She's very sweet and loves attention. She gets around just fine on three legs so don't let that deter you! If you're interested in meeting Petunia or any of our other adoptable pets, visit us on Saturdays and Sundays during our open hours between 2 and 4pm!January 17, 2026, 1:05 pm
