Story
This little prince is the brother of the other cat on my profile, monkey. He is the big cuddle bug. Very quiet except for when you walk over to feed him. Then he says thank you! He loves nose bumps and having his beautiful hair pet. Monkey and him must remain together for his comfort, and for the bond they share. It breaks my heart writing this because they are such good cats. I just have three others and there is not enough room. I am so excited for whoever gets these boogers because you will never not feel loved when you are around them!!!

Story
So I found this little nugget a few years ago with her brother in our barn. I loved them so much that I brought them inside. I eventually had to move them out to our enclosed barn shop because there were just too many animals for the size of house we have. They love to play but are still chill and will collapse on you if you let them. They love to snuggle and talk quietly if you start talking to them. The gray one is the source of that black and white one’s comfort for sure so they must remain together no biting or scratching but there are specific spots I have for them to scratch in the main rooms. They have put on a little weight not having the room to run around but I am working on finding more ways to work them out. The vets say they are amazing cats. Well behaved and have good social skills. They have been away from our dog for a few months so they have not spent any time with one recently. However, they were fantastic with our two large dogs.

Story
Uni is a 4 month old girl still living with her mother, Pearl. They are both tightly bonded. The other 2 siblings have been adopted but these two also accepted in another kitten from our local humane society as if it were family. Uni is good around other foster cats and is also good with my house cats.Boy does Uni get the zoomies! She loves time on the catio, burning rubber through the house and she's quite the athlete at playtime. Uni is potty trained and has been a doll to care for. She'd be happy in a house with other cats but would absolutely LOVE to be adopted with her mother, Pearl.Uni was spayed, microchipped and given all of her vaccinations on 7/28/26.

Story
Goose is a 3 year old domestic longhair originally from Topeka Kansas. He is up to date on his rabies and his FVRCP vaccine. He is also neutered and microchipped. He grew up as a street cat but was rescued approximately a year ago. He was previously fostered in a home with dogs and other cats but I don’t believe he would do well in a home with young children. I am a college student living in a tiny apartment and the situation just doesn’t work for him. Goose would do best in a home where he has room to explore or where he can once again be an outdoor cat. He is very active, and loves to play. He can be standoffish at first but approach him with love and his fear will subside and he will love you right back. He loves chin pets and cuddles. He is truly a super sweet cat deserving of the best home.

Story
Buttercup is a large, neutered male with fawn/orange long hair. He’s a more reserved cat and is not very vocal, but you may hear a very quiet chirrup or meow if you’re lucky. He enjoys his space and observing from a distance. In quiet moments, he enjoys sitting near or on your lap. Consider his presence in a room a really big deal, as he is not to most outgoing cat, yet he will initiate and show interest in receiving affection. We adopted Buttercup from a small, local rescue group when he was approximately 7 months old (He is currently 3.5 years old). He enjoys being brushed, which is required a few times a week, if not daily. He also enjoys treats of all kinds, which helps when it comes to trimming his front nails. Our home includes three children and a dog. Buttercup is not "best friends" with the dog, but they both respect one another's space. He will simply leave the area when she gets too close or tries to play with him.

Story
Shadow is a 7-year-old handsome boy with a heart of gold and a sweet, sensitive soul. Once he knows he is safe, he is like a little shadow who stays close and always wants to be included. He loves to flop beside people for pets, as he is incredibly affectionate once he gets to know you. Shadow is a bit shy and skittish around loud noises, so he needs a home without dogs or small children; however, he is good with other cats once he has time to warm up to them. He is not aggressive by any means if near kids he’s just the definition of scaredy cat around crying/screaming babies and toddlers. After having two kids we want him to have a home he can truly live in instead of hiding from loud noises all the time.If you have a quiet home and some patience, Shadow would be an incredible addition to your family.
