Story
Meet Milo 🐾Originally named French! I purchased him at Petco because looked sad and lonely, as a compassionate I wanted to provide him a home where he could be cared for properly. He’s a super sweet boy who loves attention and affection. A really relaxed cat and loves unconditionally. Please I would love to find him a better forever home. My lease is coming to an end and it’s really hard to find a new affordable place that accepts cats.

Story
Scrappy, a very lovable boy, isn’t working in our home because our other adult male cat has been accustomed to being a solitary feline for most of his life. Scrappy was a family member’s cat that I adopted. He was previously around 4-6 dogs and 7-9 cats, including both babies and adults. He’s nothing but a love bug! On some days, he’ll love to lick your face off, so be warned!

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Chance… and I’m here because someone gave me one. 🤍 When I was found, I was barely holding on. I weighed less than 5 pounds and was suffering from a severe respiratory infection that almost took my life. But somehow, I kept fighting — and with love, care, and time, I’ve gained weight, healed, and started learning how to trust again. I’m about 4 years old and FIV positive, but that doesn’t define who I am. I still deserve a safe home, soft blankets, and someone who sees how special I really am. I’m not the kind of cat who will rush up to strangers right away. I take time to warm up, and I need a patient, understanding home that will let me move at my own pace. But once I feel safe, I quietly become your companion. My favorite thing is finding a warm spot to curl up beside — near a heater, sunny window, or next to someone kind. I’ve already survived the hardest part of my story. Now I’m just looking for someone willing to take a chance on me. Because sometimes the cats who need the most love turn out to give the most back. 🐾 apply at www.bigdogsdontcry.com

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Serena Available for adoption beginning March 18 Serena is a tiny little sweetheart with a story as special as she is. She came to us pregnant and has been an absolutely incredible mama to her babies. Despite only having one eye, Serena doesn’t miss a thing — especially when it comes to soaking up love and attention. At about a year and a half old, Serena looks and acts like a kitten. She’s petite, sweet, and full of charm. She adores affection, happily leans in for pets, and will chat with you about her day in her sweet little voice. If you’re looking for a cat who truly bonds with her people, Serena is your girl. She’s gentle, loving, and endlessly devoted — both to her babies and to the humans lucky enough to earn her trust. Once her mothering duties are complete, Serena will be ready to find a forever home where she can be cherished the way she deserves.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 25, 2026, 7:27 pm
