Story
Izzie is a petite senior girl who spent her early years surviving as a community cat. When it became clear she wasn’t thriving outdoors, a kind-hearted volunteer helped her find her way to safety and eventually into our care. At just under 4 pounds when she arrived, this little lady was in rough shape—but with love, good food, and a soft place to land, she’s blossoming. Now over 5 pounds and gaining strength, Izzie is showing us her true self: sweet, snuggly, and completely lovable. She adores being held like a baby and will purr away in your arms without a care in the world. Izzie gets along beautifully with other cats and has a calm, mellow demeanor—though every now and then, her playful side comes out in the cutest ways (ask her about her paper towel roll obsession!). Izzie does have a minor medical quirk—due to age or past health issues, she sometimes has a little trouble with her bowels. She knows to use the litter box, but on rare occasions, poop slips out without her realizing. It’s not constant, and she’s still a very clean girl, but she’ll need a patient and understanding adopter who can love her just as she is. This darling girl has overcome so much and still has so much love to give. If you have room in your heart and home for a senior sweetheart who just wants to be close and cherished, Izzie would love to be your girl. Izzie's estimated birthday is 9/22/2015. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, and microchipped with lifetime registration. She also had bloodwork and a UA done that both came back normal! Make Izzie a part of your family today!

Story
Simba is a 12-year-old cuddle machine who doesn’t just love attention—he insists on it. This big, sweet boy is aggressively affectionate in the best way possible. He’ll headbutt your hands for more pets, press himself into you for full-body snuggles, and happily nap in your arms for hours like it’s his full-time job. There’s nothing shy about Simba—he meets everyone like an old friend and dives headfirst (literally) into love and attention. Whether you’re reading, sleeping, or just trying to sit down for five minutes, he’ll be right there, ready to soak up all the affection you’re willing to give (and then some). Simba is ready to spend his golden years exactly how he wants to: wrapped in love, lounging in a warm bed, and being the center of someone’s world. If you’re looking for a companion who’s confident, cuddly, and completely devoted, Simba might just be your perfect match. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV tested negative, dewormed, and microchipped with lifetime registration. He also had bloodwork and a UA done that came back normal.

Story
Lottie’s story is one of resilience, love, and second chances! This 12-year-old sweetheart was rescued from an outdoor cat colony, and she is absolutely thriving in the comfort of indoor life! She’s making up for lost time with all the cuddles, soft blankets, and cozy naps she can get. Despite her tough years on the streets, Lottie has never lost her love for people. She adores curling up in your lap, soaking up chin and face rubs, and rolling over on the bed for the deepest, dreamiest naps. Earlier today, she climbed onto the pillows and started making biscuits—it was the cutest thing ever! Lottie is missing all but one of her teeth, but don’t worry—it only adds to her charm, and she eats just fine! She’s still regaining her strength from her time outside, but every day she gets stronger, happier, and even more affectionate! Lottie would love to be the only spoiled queen of her home, soaking up all the love just for herself. But she’s also open to sharing her space with other calm pets who respect her need for peace and relaxation! Lottie is spayed, microchipped, FIV/FeLV negative, and up to date on vaccines. Now, all she needs is a loving home to see her through her golden years. Could that be you?
