Story
Winnie is a sweet, vocal girl who came to us as a hungry and pregnant stray in January 2025. We gave her a safe place to regain her health and have her litter of kittens. She is now spayed and her kittens have found their forever homes. She loves human company and knows her name well. She has a special love for wet food and churus, but also enjoys chattering with her humans and cheek scratches. She does not like other cats, which is why we need to find a new home for her for where she can feel secure as the only kitty in the household. Though she spent some time outdoors as a baby, she would be better suited to an indoor-only lifestyle, but she is microchipped just in case. // Likes: Human company, eating wet food with water mixed in, chatting back and forth with her humans, made-up songs with her name in it, and cheek scratches. // Dislikes: Other cats, dirty litter, and an empty food bowl.

Story
Moreover is a big 17lb boy. He loves food and treats. He does have all of his claws as he was too big to get declared when we got him. He loves to play. He gets along with dogs and children. If you aren't careful, he'll try to sneak outside. He is pretty lazy and loves to cuddle/snuggle on his terms. He is litter trained and has a special diet due to growing full size before he was neutered. Hoping to find him a good home where he is cared for.

Story
This is Obi. He is roughly 5 months old. I say roughly because he was found outside wandering in November 2025. The vet said he was around 6 weeks old at that time. Obi knows what he wants and he'll ask for it too haha. He will tell you when he wants to be picked up and held, cuddled, and when he wants food. He is free fed so just whenever he's hungry we feed him. He is fully litter trained as well. As kittens do, he will get a little fiesty when he wants to play. As long as he is playing with toys (dont use hands to play!) He wont get comfortable biting you as he matures. All in all Obi is full personality and there's never a boring moment with him in your life. So I'm looking for someone preferably who has owned cats/kittens before and knows their behavior patterns. Also someone who will give him the time he needs to play and socialize.

Story
Thereso came to us as a stray, but not in the usual way—a staff member found him taking shelter in their vehicle, trying to find a safe place to hide. It was clear right away that he had been through a lot and was unsure of people, but underneath the fear was a gentle and affectionate soul just waiting to come out. Though still shy and learning to trust, Thereso is making progress every day. He may take some time to feel comfortable, but once you're holding him, he melts into your chest with the sweetest purrs. He wants to be loved—he's just figuring out how. Thereso is looking for a calm, patient home with someone who understands that trust takes time. If you’re willing to give him that space and kindness, you’ll be rewarded with a truly special bond. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Thereso doesn’t need much—just a quiet place, a warm lap, and someone willing to let him blossom at his own pace. Could that someone be you?
