Story
Big Rhonda has made incredible progress since arriving at the shelter! At first, she found the environment overwhelming and spent most of her time curled up in her bed, quietly observing the world around her. Since moving into one of our free-roam rooms, she has started to gain confidence and slowly come out of her shell. While she can still be a bit timid, Big Rhonda is learning to trust and has begun stepping out of her cozy hideaway to seek out gentle pets and attention. It’s been so rewarding to see her sweet, loving personality start to shine through when she feels safe and comfortable. Big Rhonda is looking for a patient and understanding home where she can continue to grow at her own pace. With a little time, love, and a calm environment, this shy girl is sure to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Story
Quiverbug is a delicate little soul who is still learning that the world isn't so scary. Shelter life has been overwhelming for her, and she tends to be very shy and nervous, often keeping to herself while she takes everything in. But beneath that timid exterior is sweet girl who has never shown a mean bone in her body. As she slowly begins to feel more comfortable, she’s starting to accept gentle pets and is learning, little by little, to trust the people around her. Each small step she takes is a big victory. Quiverbug will need a patient, understanding home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She may take a while to come out of her shell, but for the right person, watching her grow into her confidence will be something truly special.

Story
This sweet girl has been through more than most cats ever should. When Chiffon arrived, she was suffering from a serious injury that ultimately required the amputation of both her tail and one back leg. Her recovery was long, and there were plenty of challenges along the way, but through it all she remained remarkably patient, gentle, and full of love. Now fully healed, Chiffon is learning how to navigate life as a three-legged cat with no tail. She's still working out some of the finer points of balance and coordination, which can make her delightfully clumsy at times. Despite everything she's endured, Chiffon hasn't let it dampen her spirit one bit. She loves affection, enjoys playtime, and greets life with an enthusiasm that's impossible not to admire. Chiffon's just looking for a family who will appreciate her sweet nature, cheer her on as she continues to adapt, and give her the happy ending she's worked so hard to earn. She has been great with other cats at the shelter. All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
