Story
Johnny is a handsome gray and white kitten with a tender heart and a story that tugs at the soul. He and four other cats were abandoned in a cage on our lawn, left to face an uncertain future. Johnny can be cautious when meeting new people—he’s not one to hand over his heart right away. But give him patience and kindness, and you’ll see his walls come down. Once he trusts you, Johnny transforms into one of the most affectionate, loyal companions you could ask for. He leans into your touch, melts into cuddles, and loves with his whole heart. Just like his namesake, Johnny is looking for that one true person who will stick with him, through the shy moments and into the love-filled ones. If you’re ready to give him the steady, forever home he deserves, Johnny will give you a lifelong duet of love and devotion.

Story
Lil Boo Thang is equal parts sweetheart, diva, and drama queen in the most lovable way. She’s a very affectionate girl who enjoys attention, but only when it’s on her terms. She prefers to be the star of the show and doesn’t love sharing the spotlight with other cats. When she’s away from them, though, her softer side truly shines. She’ll happily curl up in your lap, purr contentedly, and even nudge your face for extra love. She can be a bit feisty and independent, confident, a little grumpy at times, but full of surprising bursts of sweetness that make those moments extra special. Lil Boo Thang enjoys doing her own thing, lounging nearby, and keeping an eye on her favorite humans, but when she chooses you, it feels like a true honor. One unique thing about Lil Boo Thang is that she has no teeth, which only adds to her charm. She had them removed after coming to LCHS due to chronic stomatitis, and she’s doing wonderfully. She still loves treats and will happily enjoy them (don’t worry, she manages just fine!). If you’re looking for a cat with personality, independence, and a heart that reveals itself over time, Lil Boo Thang could be your perfect match. She’s ready for a home that appreciates her sass, her sweetness, and everything in between.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Clovey is a gentle, laid-back girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life: peace, quiet, and a cozy spot to nap. Being a young adult, she’s past the kitten chaos and firmly in her chill era. Clovey is an independent soul who prefers to do her own thing. She’s not overly needy and is perfectly content snoozing the day away, especially from her favorite perch at the top of the cat tree—where she can keep an eye on the world while staying above the fray. She may not be the first to ask for attention, but her calm presence brings a soothing energy to any home. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, peaceful companion who enjoys her space and her sleep, Clovey is the perfect match. She is Spayed, Microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Feline Distemper vaccines!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Like her striking name, Obsidia is bold, beautiful, and unforgettable. She loves attention from her people and isn’t shy about letting you know she wants to be the center of your world — and she’d prefer not to share that spotlight with other cats. Obsidia adores pets, head scratches, and quiet moments spent by your side. With her affectionate nature, she has all the potential to become the perfect lap cat once she finds her person. She also has a bit of a “supervisor” streak — always nearby, watching what you’re doing, and making sure you’re doing it correctly. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s happiest when she’s your one and only, Obsidia is ready to make herself at home in your heart.

Story
Nutty Buddy lives up to his name in the best possible way. He’s sweet, a little silly, and full of personality. This affectionate boy loves being around his people and will happily follow you from room to room, making sure you never feel alone. If he thinks you’re not giving him enough attention, he’ll gently tap at your legs to remind you he’s there and ready for love. He’s also known for his adorable little “love bites,” his way of showing excitement and affection. Nutty Buddy doesn’t mind being picked up or hugged — in fact, he soaks it all up like the social butterfly he is. He’s the first one to greet you at the door, always ready to say hello and make your day better. Treats are another one of his favorite things. The moment he hears the treat container shake, he comes running with pure joy and excitement. With his playful, loving nature and his fun, nutty charm, Nutty Buddy is ready to bring laughter and affection into his forever home.
