Story
Johnny is a boy with a tender heart and a story that tugs at it. He and four other cats were abandoned in a cage on our property, left to face an uncertain future. Because of that rough start, Johnny is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. He can be cautious when meeting new people and isn’t one to give his heart away right away. He prefers to observe first and take things at his own pace. But with patience, kindness, and a gentle approach, you’ll see his walls slowly come down. Once Johnny trusts you, he transforms into an incredibly affectionate and loyal companion. He leans into your touch, melts into cuddles, and loves with his whole heart. Quiet, thoughtful, and sweet, Johnny will do best in a calm, patient home that lets him build confidence on his own timeline. Just like his namesake, he’s looking for that one true person who will stick with him through the shy moments and into the love-filled ones. If you’re looking for a cat you can truly help blossom and who will reward your patience with a deep, special bond, Johnny might just be your perfect match.

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!

Story
Like her striking name, Obsidia is bold, beautiful, and impossible to forget. She loves attention from her people and is happiest when she’s right in the middle of whatever you’re doing, soaking up pets and head scratches along the way. Obsidia has a wonderfully affectionate personality and all the makings of a perfect lap cat once she settles in with her person. She also has a charming little “supervisor” streak. Expect her to be nearby, keeping an eye on your activities and making sure everything runs smoothly. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will happily fill your home with warmth and personality, Obsidia is ready to make herself right at home in your heart.
