Story
Rocco is a gentle, affectionate kitty who loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch and watching TV with his people. He's half Bengal, and true to his lineage, a personality thats more dog than cat. We adopted him as a kitten from a family member who owned his mom, and been a beloved part of our home ever since. He’s wonderfully calm, gets along well with dogs, and has shown exceptional patience with our toddler. We’re heartbroken to be rehoming him, but we’re expecting another baby and moving into a smaller space. With limited room, we won’t be able to keep a litter box safely out of reach of our toddler, and we want to prioritize both Rocco’s comfort and our children safety. He deserves a home where he can continue to thrive, be adored, and stretch out on the couch. If you’re looking for a calm, dog-friendly, toddler tolerant companion, he might be your purfect match.

Story
Turk is a mysterious and shy black cat with a wild side that only those who take the time to get to know him will truly appreciate. Named after the spirited gorilla from Disney's Tarzan, Turk is often reserved, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance but underneath his quiet exterior is a heart just waiting to connect with the right family! Turk is still learning that humans aren't all that bad to be around and is looking for a family who will accept him just as he is—quiet, quirky, and full of potential! If you're looking for a low maintenance cat to make the house feel less empty, Turk will show you how wonderful it is to love a cat who’s one-of-a-kind.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Janet — a shy beauty with a story to tell. Janet is a stunning orange kitty with striking eyes, but she’s a bit on the skittish side. She may take some time to warm up to new people and environments, so she’s best suited for a calm, patient home where she can take things at her own pace. While Janet isn’t the cuddliest or most outgoing cat, she has her own quiet charm and enjoys observing the world from a safe, comfortable spot. With the right person who understands her boundaries, she can feel secure and even start to show glimpses of her personality. If you’re looking for a cat who thrives in a peaceful environment and you’re willing to let her come out of her shell in her own time, Janet could be the perfect companion for you.
