Story
We rescued Pierre when he was barely 8 weeks old. We were driving along the interstate and saw one mama cat and two kittens run across the road. Little Pierre was so weak he was stumbling and sat right down in front of a semi-truck which luckily was able to stop and not hit him. We nursed him back to health and discovered an incredibly loving and playful personality. He was very eager to get to know our older cat and was very good with him and loving (although often overwhelmed him by being too playful.) Pierre is now about 5 months old. He is very energetic and sweet. Sometimes he will nip to be playful but we have been training him not to and he’s gotten better. He is very easy to entertain and loves to chase around toys. He is well behaved despite his high energy and does not destroy our apartment or belongings other than occasionally knocking something over. He needs an attentive home that can give lots of playtime and attention. Someone who is well versed in cat care.

Story
I adopted Ellie from a local shelter about two years ago, and she is approximately 4–5 years old. She is a sweet, affectionate, laid back and loving cat who enjoys spending time with people and being part of the family. She is fine with other animals, kids, etc. Unfortunately, I am relocating for work to a place that cannot accommodate pets, so I am looking for a safe, loving home where she will be well cared for. She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a friendly and affectionate cat.

Story
Malibu is 6 years old in May 2026, she’s a very sweet girl who loves to sleep above my head on my pillow, but does enjoy her own space and quiet time. She gets along with my other cats, but I think she’d also be fine to be an only child as she didn’t always have her siblings. I’ve never let her outdoors so that’s not something I think she’d enjoy. She definitely has an orange cat attitude sometimes, and the rest of the time she just likes to cuddle up in a cozy spot and nap. She loves food and treats (she is slightly on the chonkier side because of it, but we’ve been helping her lose some of that weight). I think she’d do best in a home that isn’t particularly chaotic (she’s met kids and done totally fine but never lived with them), but she does get stressed if overwhelmed or overstimulated understandably. With that, I don’t think she’d do best with smaller children with more energy.

Story
This is Bug! He loves being held by people that he’s familiar with. He’s super friendly and will introduce himself to anybody as soon as they enter. He meows after he uses the litter box and he is not a fan of dogs. But otherwise, he’s incredibly friendly and he loves meeting new people and new cats.
