Kindle is about 5 1/2 years old as of November, 2025.   His intake picture shows the need for his rescue! He's been with us in rescue since March of 2025 and we have treated and helped him physically recover from the critical condition in which he was found. Kindle and a feline buddy (Sammy) showed up on a farm. Their story to that point is not known. Sammy had been shaved in what appeared to be professional cut and Kindle's hair appeared to have been cut yet not shaved. Sammy was not as physically ill as Kindle was, yet before we could get to help them, Sammy was hit by a car and humane euthanasia was required. We were so sad about Sammy, yet we were so happy to still be able to help Kindle. He's now neutered, vaccinated and healthy yet the trauma from whatever occurred to him mentally remains. He is a very scared boy, non-aggressive and he needs a special home that is quiet where love and patience can be given for as long as it may take to let him trust again. This will take time and we are not certain to what level he will grow to; he may never be a lap cat and that's ok! From his foster: My sweet Kindle I’m not sure what his story is but I know that it broke his heart. He is not a true feral but resorted back to being scared of humans during his life. He loves to take churu treats from me and I have finally after almost a year earned his trust to see his demeanor change from scared to calm during pets. He's absolutely stunning! He's not happy in rescue and we know he will move forward and thrive in a home. He sure deserves one; he's lucky to have survived.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

Coral is estimated to be about a 1/2 years old as of August, 2026.  Coral is a beautiful girl who had a rough life prior to her rescue.  Part of a colony of 14, they were lacking food and shelter necessary for them to survive.  At the time of intake, all were in need of treatment and required months of rehab to heal what had occurred.  The lack of food/nutrition did take a toll on her GI system leaving her with the need to have an easily digestible food; a a prescription diet.  Don't let that scare you away, the cost of the food is less than $2.00 a day; less than store bought food.  With her special diet, Coral has healed and all symptoms have subsided for months and she is ready for her home!  We will thoroughly discuss Coral with the proper applicant!  Coral is super sweet and outgoing and won't take much time to adjust to her new home.  She will do best in a segregated room at first where she can adjust to her new family and home.  Then, with proper introduction to other pets, she will fill your home with joy and love.  She's spayed and fully vaccinated.  Adopt Coral today!  Approved applications will be contacted within 48 hours Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

About 6 years old as of January 2026, Spokane is looking for a quiet home where he can let his guard down. He was adopted as a young cat, and sadly his person passed away. When he first came back to rescue, he was terrified. It took weeks of daily treats and soft words for him to feel safe enough to come down from his high spot. Now his true personality is coming out, and it's a beautiful thing! He's cuddly and sweet, and he adores other kitties despite being an only cat for most of his life. His first meeting with one of the resident cats was full of head butts and purrs! He's recently begun sleeping in his foster mom's bed, watching TV on the couch. He is still cautious, but he's ready for a real home!

His situation is a bit complicated, and he's spent most of his life in rescue. He was trapped as an older kitten with the intent of socializing for adoption. Unfortunately, his foster was unable to spend the time required to work with him, so he either needed to go back outside or be moved to a different foster. Cold weather was already here, so the decision was made to move him to a different foster. He's still quite fearful, but is very motivated by food. When he was confined to a cage, he learned to enjoy pets. Now that he has the run of the house, he's not easy to catch. At this point, he will likely never be a cuddly house cat. He loves other cats, and his behavior is much more relaxed when he's with his cat friends. At this point, we are looking for a safe option for him, because his foster mom is very ill and he cannot stay long term. If you are either an incredible person who wants to give this boy a home despite his fear, or if you have a very safe shop, barn, etc, please apply here! safehousepets.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.
