Story

Marcy is a sweet 12 years old snuggle bug. She loves attention and making biscuits near anyone willing to let her. All she wants is love. She may be shy at first but she is quick to warm up to friendly people. Unfortunately, with one child and another on the way, I can no longer give her all of the attention that she rightfully deserves.

Story

Meet Meowidith Grey! 🩺🐾Paging Dr. Adorable! Meowidith Grey is a one-year-old medical meowracle and proud mama of the Grey’s Anatomy litter (plus one surprise intern who snuck in for snuggles). She was found by one of our amazing volunteers—skinny, alone, and still fiercely taking care of her tiny patients… we mean, kittens. Classic Meowidith: putting others first even on an empty stomach.With her elegant white and gray fur and soulful eyes that have seen things, Meowidith has the air of a cat who’s been through a whole dramatic season arc—but still purrs through it all. She’s got short-to-medium fluff and an emotionally complex meow. She’s been caught monologuing dramatically into her food dish, probably about life, love, and snack time.Now that her little ones are growing up and preparing to scrub in on their own adventures, Meowidith is ready for her own happy ending. She’s currently available for pre-adoption while she wraps up her mama duties.Is your home ready for a little drama, a lot of purring, and a whole season’s worth of cuddles? Adopt Meowidith Grey—stat!

Story

Meet Mrs. Buttersworth! 🍯🐾 This sweet, squishy tabby girl has a story that will melt your heart. About three years old, Mrs. Buttersworth was rescued from the middle of I-35 where she was desperately trying to climb onto a concrete barrier to safety. Her poor little paws were raw, and her nails worn down to nubs—but despite her rough start, she’s shown nothing but love and gratitude ever since. Mrs. B is a true people-cat. She adores cuddles, naps with her humans, and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. Don’t let her round figure fool you—she still enjoys playtime and batting at toys! And yes, she loves her treats and isn’t shy about reminding you when it’s snack time. She does fine with calm, respectful dogs but would really prefer to be someone’s one-and-only feline queen. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart (and an even bigger purr), Mrs. Buttersworth is your girl. ✨ Ready to let this syrup-sweet tabby pour a little love into your life? ✨
