Story
Hi, i'm Sam. I am a year old. My temp mom had me fixed and also got me a rabies shot. I will keep you entertained for hours running around your house, chasing whatever/everything, or trying to attack my tail. My "mom" has also made sure I have my flea prevention thank goodness.... those pesky fleas! Smoke is gross and my "ma" told me that she ain't letting me go to a smoker! She wants me to be healthy. I have been told that I am a great hunter. I think I might like to live in a barn where I can kill lots of mice! I know "ma' loves me but she can't keep me. And she also said she is going to "vet" anyone who applies for me, just to make sure I will be safe and happy wherever I go. Oh and I really love going outside and hunting mice and terrorizing birds (mom yells at me). When I find a new home, "ma" will send me with my food and some toys.

Story
We found Spooky back in October of 2025 and she has been living in our basement since! She is a spunky lady, loud, and not scared to tell you how she feels. Very sweet and cuddly. Absolutely LOVES laps. She also likes playing with string toys in her car tunnel. DOES NOT get along with other cats! I'm not sure if it's just because of mine but they do not get along :( Hence why we need to rehome her.

Story
Rizzo is a charming, affectionate, and playful cat with a big personality! He loves to lounge in cozy spots like laundry baskets or perch proudly at the top of his cat tree. But don't let his chill side fool this guy has serious moves when it's playtime! Fresh laundry? Rizzo sees it as an invitation to pounce and play. Whether it a feather toy, a t-shirt, or a laser pointer, he will put on a show with leaps and even backflips if you really get him going. When it comes to affection, Rizzo has his own flavor. His favorite way to show love is by hanging out near your feet while you're sitting, happily soaking up foot pets. Rizzo was declawed when he was very young and as a result has always been an indoor cat. He will be most at home with a family that is able to periodically play with him and give him love and attention during downtime.

Story
Hi everyone! This is Lily! Lily is 1 year old and her birthday is November 15th! Lily is a silly, cuddly, and sweet cat. At first, she is very timid, but warms up with cuddles and treats! Her favorite treats are the Delectable Squeeze Tubes! Lily loves getting scratched behind her ears and chin. Although she is not a huge fan of getting her nails clipped, feeding her a treat tube before always works! Lily is a tough cookie to crack, but once you do, she will love you indefinitely!

Story
Snickers is looking for an experienced, one-pet household where he can receive the love, care, and attention he deserves. We rescued him from outside and are committed to finding him a home rather than placing him in a shelter ; he truly doesn't deserve that. He is sweet and affectionate with people, but he does not get along with other cats, which unfortunately makes him not a good fit for our home. He has not been around children or dogs. At this time, we are not able to have him neutered. Our biggest hope is simply to find Snickers a safe, calm, and loving home where he can thrive as the only pet.
