Story
Lily was left in her previous owners apartment for 3 weeks without food or water. She will be getting her shots first week of February and ready to go off to a new home. She is a bit underweight due to being abandoned for so long without anything. She does have a bit of issues with food since she went so long without it she can be a bit impatient. She will need a ton of TLC and patience but is super sweet.

Story
Gia is a shy but gentle indoor-only cat who enjoys the company of both people and other cats. She tends to be distant at first and prefers to observe rather than jump right in, but she does well in a calm environment where she’s given time and space to settle in. Gia would thrive with patient adopters who appreciate a quiet, independent companion.

Story
Tiger is a sweet, affectionate, and cuddly indoor cat who loves being around people. Once he’s comfortable, his playful and energetic personality shines! He enjoys feather wands, toy balls, catnip mice, and especially chasing the laser light. Scratching posts are a must-have for this active boy. Tiger spends his mornings following his favorite humans, playing, and soaking up sunny naps, then revs back up in the evenings for more playtime. He loves interactive play before dinner and settles in for the night around midnight. He is an exclusively indoor cat and is sensitive to loud or sudden noises, so he does best in a calm home. Tiger needs slow, patient introductions to other cats but does well once adjusted. He loves kids and adults and has been comfortable around dogs. He does not enjoy harnesses, carriers, or vet visits. Tiger is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has no special dietary needs. He’s a loving, playful companion looking for a patient, caring home.

Story
Teddie Bear is a striking male kitten who embodies the perfect blend of independence and selective affection. As the largest of his litter, this athletic boy carries himself with quiet confidence and grace. What makes Teddie Bear special is his discerning nature - he's very much a "cat's cat" who appreciates respect for his independence. Well, he actually could be a "dog's cat" too since he gets along well with the resident dog and even tries to snuggle with her. While he may not be destined to be a lap cat, he offers something even more precious: selective snuggles with his chosen people. When Teddie Bear decides you're worthy of his affection, those cuddle moments become incredibly meaningful. This handsome fellow is blessed with gorgeous light eyes that captivate everyone who meets him, and his sweet disposition shines through in his calm, gentle demeanor. Teddie Bear is wonderfully quiet, preferring to communicate through body language rather than excessive meowing - perfect for those who appreciate a more serene household companion. His athletic build suggests he'll be an excellent playmate who can entertain himself while still being a loving family member. Teddie Bear would thrive with someone who understands that the best relationships are built on mutual respect and appreciation. If you're looking for a beautiful, independent companion who will reward your patience with genuine affection on his own terms, Teddie Bear is ready to find his perfect match. Behaviorally and socially, it’s best to adopt kittens in pairs, or into a home with a compatible playful cat. Kittens really need a feline playmate in their forever home…and then they can get to play, and snuggle while you're not home, wrestle with each other instead of with your ankles, and grow up with an always-available companion. Bored cats can become destructive cats. If you are only interested in adopting a single kitten, and you’re home most of the day, and able to spend interactive time with a kitten, we may consider adopting out a single kitten. We usually prefer that they be 4 months or older. But each application will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Many of our kitten litters may also be able to be mixed ‘n matched to make a pair if they are not particularly bonded with a sibling. Each foster home knows the kittens' personalities best, and we follow their recommendations for single placements or mix/matching. Teddie's date of birth is 9/15/25, and his adoption fee of $195 includes: medical exam, Feleuk/FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccinations, routine dewormings, microchip and neuter.

Story
Hi, I'm Gershwin, a handsome young fellow about 3 and a half years old. I was rescued from the outdoors and taken into this really nice lady's home where I have lived for the last year. I really love her, and she loves me, but I just can't seem to get used to sharing the home with her other cats. I'm more of a one-on-one type of guy. Lately I've been kept separated from everyone, and it's really not the kind of life that's good for me. I need a person who's looking for a one-on-one relationship where I can be the king of the castle. I am a VERY smart cat, I know my name & understand what my human says to me! If she leaves an open can of cat food on the counter (with a plastic lid on), I know how to open it! I'm very active, lots of energy…like to play & run a lot (inside only of course). I love to be brushed & always use my litter box. If you're looking for only one cat to be your loyal companion, I'm your guy. Come meet me! I know we can make beautiful music together. Gershwin's adoption fee of $120 includes vet exam, Feleuk/FIV test, rabies vaccination, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, deworming, microchip and neuter.
