Story
Fraser needs a new cat mom (or dad or both)! There is nothing wrong, and I wish I could keep him, but this is what is best for him, and that's what's most important. He's just the right level of active without being spastic, he's super sweet, and he's a very good companion. But my oldest daughter and her fiancé are moving in with me in a couple of weeks, bringing her nearly 20 year old boy cat, and so you can see where that could cause issues. Fraser is also a snuggly kind of cat. He doesn't really love being held, but every night when I am unwinding on the sofa, he jumps up onto my legs (curled up beside me forming a V shape), starts making biscuits, then, settles into the curve behind my knee purring. As I said...super sweet. Fraser is almost 2 years old, neutered, has been vaccinated, and is in good health. He also takes monthly heartworm meds, which he really needs to continue with if possible. He's completely an indoor cat an he's good with dogs and other cats.

Story
Tigerlily is a sweet, affectionate senior gal who’s all about comfort and companionship. She loves nothing more than curling up in bed with her foster, especially at night when she can snuggle in close and enjoy some peaceful rest. She’s not shy about asking for attention, either—Tigerlily will meow softly to let you know she’s ready for pets, and she’ll weave around your legs with happy affection as you give her the love she craves. With her calm demeanor and loving heart, Tigerlily would make a perfect companion for someone looking for a low-key, devoted friend to share their days (and nights) with. She’s ready for a quiet home where she can be cherished in her golden years—because she truly deserves it. 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!

Story
Meet Mr. Golly, a gentle and precious boy with a heart as soft as his purr. He came to the rescue after surviving an unthinkable start—being thrown from a car and needing his jaw repaired—but despite everything he’s been through, Mr. Golly remains incredibly loving. He can be a little shy and often prefers the safety of his cozy hidey holes, especially at first, but when it’s time to play or when gentle hands reach out to him, his true personality shines. Mr. Golly absolutely loves pets and will reward them with the loudest, happiest purrs. With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, this sweet boy will continue to heal and blossom into a devoted companion who soaks up love and gives it right back. Mr. Golly is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped with lifetime registration. His estimated birthday is 6/3/2025.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Biscuit is an incredibly sweet, fluffy kitten with a soft white coat, a black tail tipped in white, and the biggest heart. He is extremely affectionate—this little lovebug adores pets, purrs nonstop, and leans right in for attention. Biscuit loves burrowing into blankets, curling up in cardboard boxes, and has the silliest habit of moving his blankets to “bury” his food dish after meals. He’s gentle, cuddly, and happiest when he’s close to his people. Churu treats are a big favorite! Biscuit is currently undergoing treatment for FIP and is doing well. We are looking for a foster-to-adopt home, preferably with FIP or special-needs experience, or someone comfortable following his treatment plan with rescue support. If you’re looking for a truly special kitten who will fill your home with purrs and love, Biscuit is ready to meet you. Biscuit’s birthday is 4/30/25. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV tested negative, dewormed, and microchipped with lifetime registration.

Story
After being in rescue for 1.5 years, Corduroy is longing for a forever home of her own. This sweet girl may greet new people with a bit of a grumpy face at first, but once you earn her trust, she is eager to soak up affection. The moment she walks up for a head rub or melts in for chin scratches with a soft purr is worth every bit of patience it takes to get there. Cordy has plenty of tortitude and personality. She is talkative and uses her cute meow to ask for treats, attention, or her favorite thing of all: catnip. She enjoys scratching posts, crinkle toys, and toys with bells, and she likes to play on her own terms. She also loves her Churu treats and will happily let you know when she is ready for one. Under her sass, Cordy is a sensitive, shy girl who simply wants a quiet, cozy home where she can feel safe. She loves comfortable spots, especially the windowsill at night or a soft bed where she can relax near her favorite person. Cordy is our longest-term resident and has been waiting 1.5 years for someone to fall in love with her gentle heart and quirky charm. She needs a patient, understanding adopter who will give her time to settle in, and in return she will become a loyal, sweet companion who enjoys being near you while you relax. Please help us make sure Cordy does not have to wait much longer for her forever home! Corduroy is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV combo tested negative. As far as we know she spent the first 4 years of her life outside having litter after litter of kittens on a busy street, now she is finally comfy and safe. Her estimated birthday is 6/17/2020. Make Corduroy a part of your family today!
