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
A sweet cat who is a little shy. Poppy does have her claws still and I’ll make certain she is up-to-date on shots. She behaves well and likes a little 1-on-1 affection. Unfortunately, she doesn’t handle dogs well and my beagle puppy is just overwhelming for her.

Story
Bill came to my house with an injury. After taking time to heal up (plus get neutered and vaccinated), he is showing off what a sweet, playful boy he is! He loves to play with mice, tease sticks, and pounce at toys under a blanket. He loves to be pet and will cuddle up on your lap or next to you. He seems to be responding well to my cats but does not seem to get along well my dogs. He is felv/fiv negative. He seems to be responding well to meeting other cats but we are still working on slowly introducing them. I would really love to keep him but worry about his fear of my dogs. Rehoming fee covers the cost I paid for his neutering.
