Story
A neighborhood cat chose to have her litter in my yard shelter and I’ve since taken in her kittens. They’ve been spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Lil Dude and Poppy are two of the four siblings, and they’re ready for loving homes—either together or separately. Lil Dude is bright, “talkative,” and follows you around like a loyal pup. Poppy, with her velvety-soft coat, is gentle, affectionate, and equally devoted. Both are cuddle bugs who love snuggling in bed, soaking up kisses, and being scooped up for hugs. Playful and curious, they enjoy chasing laser pointers, batting yarn balls, and pouncing on crinkly toys. While they’ll need a little time to adjust to a new environment, their goofy, affectionate personalities shine through. They thrive on attention and would do best with an experienced cat owner who can give them the love and care they deserve.

Story
Meet Nugget and Toast!This is honestly extremely hard for me, but I'm looking for a loving home for my two girls, Nugget and Toast. Nugget will be 2 in June and Toast will be 1 in July. They are completely bonded and inseparable, so they have to go together. They absolutely love to cuddle and will happily curl up with you after a good play session. They both have their own little personalities that make them so special and thrive in a home where they can stay active, stimulated, and showered with attention. The adoption fee will include all of their things (litter boxes, food and water dishes, cat trees, toys, etc.) so they'll have everything they need to feel comfortable right away. Due to difficult life circumstances, I'm no longer able to care for them, and my biggest priority is finding them a loving home where they'll get all the cuddles, playtime, and treats they deserve. They are truly amazing cats, and anyone who adopts them will be so lucky to have them.

Story
Luna has been our family cat for 9 years, she is now around 11-13. We originally got her from the ARL. She was fully declawed by whomever had her before the ARL. She is a super sweet girl, just does not do well with my baby. She has become very territorial due to the baby and tries to bite her and has began spraying on her things. She does fine with older kiddos, dogs and female cats.

Story
This is Charlie! He is 11 years old, birthday on April 1st! I originally adopted him as a kitten from the ARL. He was my first baby! Charlie loves to snuggle, play fetch, get belly rubs, bird watch, and is still playful for being 11, but also loves his lazy lounging time. He is a very easy cat. He LOVES his food (as you can see by his size-he’s about 18lbs). He is a very friendly cat and does have patience for children, but only for so long. He has been such a good cat, up until my husband and I decided to have children. He would do best with a family with children 6 and older and who doesn’t have any dogs. Other cats he has been able to adjust to very well with time and proper introduction.

Story
Bella is a sweet cuddly cat. She loves scratches and kisses, she gets along with cats and dogs, it just takes a little time warming up. I love her so much but I have recently moved and cannot take her with me. I am looking for a good home, somewhere she will receive plenty of attention.
