Story
Samwise is a male Domestic Shorthair and Tabby mixed kitten. He’s nervous in new or busy environments and would do best in a calm, quiet home where he can feel safe and build confidence at his own pace. This little introvert is looking for a loving family who understands that the best relationships take a bit of time and trust. He is described as a 'Secret Admirer'. When it comes to relationships, I'm very level-headed. I don't leap in paws first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I'll shower you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not see a lot of me, but I'll be thinking a lot of you!

Story
Due to some unknown reason this kitty has been with us for quite a while. So to help get this kitty adopted, we’re waiving the adoption fee! With an approved application, you can take this kitty home for free! Mocha is a male Domestic Shorthair kitten. If there’s fun happening, I’m already there. I’m a high-energy black cat who lives for playtime, action, and excitement. Toys? Yes. Zoomies? Absolutely. Late-night kitten chaos? Count me in. I bring the party wherever I go and keep things lively with my playful spirit and bold confidence. But don’t worry—I’m not all chaos and confetti. When the party winds down, I’m happy to crash nearby and soak up some attention before gearing up for the next round of fun. I’m looking for a home that’s ready for laughter, movement, and a whole lot of personality. Life’s more fun with me around, and I’m ready to prove it. This kitty is described as a 'Party Animal'. I'm a cat on a mission: PARTY! I love to play and explore and test my limits. I'd love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils, post-it notes, potatoes. If you're looking for some laughs and someone to liven up the party, think about inviting me.

Story
Pompei is a female Domestic Shorthair and Tabby mixed kitty who is about 2 years old. Pompei is a clever, confident little shadow who’s always close by. She’s curious without being reckless, loyal without being clingy, and has a sharp sense for when she’s needed. Equal parts playful and observant, she prefers to watch first—then act decisively. Strengths: - Quietly brave - Highly intuitive - Fast learner - Excellent emotional support Pompei doesn’t steal the spotlight—she enhances it. Whether offering silent encouragement, comic relief, or unexpected problem-solving, she makes every adventure better just by being there. She is described as a 'Sidekick'. Like all sidekicks, I'm just plain good company. I like attention, and I also like my solitude. I don't go looking for trouble, but I'm no scaredy-cat, either. If you are looking for a steady companion to travel with you on the road of life, look no further.

Story
Portia is a female Domestic Shorthair and Tabby mixed kitten. Portia is a tiny but mighty kitten with a big personality! She’s a natural “Leader of the Band,” full of curiosity, energy, and playful spirit. Portia has already found a special bond with her very protective adopted dad, Hozier, and together they make a dynamic duo. This little girl is ready to continue exploring, learning, and showing off her confident, spirited personality in her forever home. With her playful leadership and affectionate nature, Portia is sure to bring joy, laughter, and lots of purrs to the lucky family who adopts her. She is described as a 'Leader of the Band'. I'm a cat who does everything in a big way. I not only like to be in the middle of things--I like to lead the parade. I'm an adventurous cat, but I'll still make plenty of time to show you my affectionate side. I'm the demonstrative type, you might say. Want a cat who's brimming with confidence? That's me.

Story
Mitski is a female Domestic Shorthair kitten. I like to watch before I act. I’ve already learned that the best way to understand the world is by quietly observing it. From my favorite lookout spot, I keep track of everything—who’s walking by, what’s moving, and which humans might be worth investigating a little closer. I may seem mysterious at first, but I’m just thoughtful. Once I decide you’re safe, my playful side comes out in bursts of kitten energy and curiosity. I enjoy exploring, solving tiny mysteries, and sharing soft moments on my own terms. I’m looking for a home that appreciates a smart, observant black kitten with a hint of intrigue. If you like cats with depth, curiosity, and a little noir energy, I might be your girl. She is described as a 'Private Investigator'. I'm working undercover to keep an eye on you and your household. You may not even know you're under surveillance. I can vanish into thin air if anyone or anything interferes with my investigation. If you need a cat who knows how to stay out of trouble and will always keep your secrets, I just might take your case.
