Story
This Arlo he is 5-year-old boy who is outgoing, incredibly cuddly, super playful, and very curious. He loves attention, exploring, and being involved in whatever his people are doing. He is good with adults, children, other cats, and friendly dogs. He is also bonded with his silly younger brother Cyrus. They love to chase each other, play, and keep each other company. His little brother is a bit more shy at first, but once he gets comfortable and chooses you as his person, he becomes incredibly affectionate and loves to curl up and lay with you. We would absolutely love for them to stay together if the right family is willing to adopt them both. He/they are litter trained and up to date on shots. We are sadly looking for a new home because of infant allergies, and our biggest priority is finding them a loving home where they can stay together and be part of a family.

Story
Leo is a 6-year-old male tabby who is adventurous, outgoing, and incredibly cuddly. He absolutely loves attention and will happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give him. He’s the kind of cat who loves being around his people and getting plenty of affection. He does great with children, adults, other cats, and dogs, making him a wonderful fit for a variety of homes. He is litter trained and up to date on his shots. He also has a bonded little brother who is much more shy and reserved named Nico. They have grown up together, so if a family is willing and able to keep them together, that would be incredibly special. His brother may take a little longer to warm up, but Leo is the outgoing one who loves attention and helps bring out his brother’s confidence. We are sadly looking to rehome him/them because of allergies related to our infant. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and more than anything, we want to find him a home where he will be safe, happy, and deeply loved.

Story
Gizzy's Mom was a stray. We took her in at 6 weeks. She's been indoors. She's litter box trained. Gizzy needs a home with little activity. Maybe a home that has 1 owner... even a senior home. Our house has become too much for her. We have a dog, young daughter with friends over. Gizzy likes quiet. I think she gets over stimulated and thats why she bit me.

Story
Meet Vivi! Vivi came to us through the cat distribution system—she was a stray that walked up to me in my front yard and said “Hello! I’d like to live inside!” She is incredibly sweet and playful, and we brought her in with every intention to be her forever home. She has up to date vaccinations, has been spayed, has a microchip, and the vet estimates that she’s about 2 years old. She’s vivacious and funny with so much love to give. Among telling us how much she loves stuffed animals, fighting butterfly toys, and crunching on dry food, she also told us pretty clearly that she wants to be an only cat. Our multi-cat home is causing her distress and it’s time to find her forever family. If you want a love bug that will bring you her toy and tell you aaaall about it, Vivi is your girl. We will be fully fostering her until she finds her perfect match!
