Story
Very affectionate kitty! I found her in the middle of the road very recently and took her in as she needed some care. Cat allergies had other plans and I sadly cannot keep her. She is a really good kitten that will sit in your lap and make biscuits all day long. She needs a good home so I’m not asking a price but just a really good home for her.

Story
This is Scoots! A neutered male. He is just under 4 years old. Currently no health issues or allergies. Can be anxious when being vetted. He prefers to run instead of bite or anything like that. Enjoys when he can have his own space, as long as it can be close to you! Loves attention but not too much affection. Not super active. Tolerant of dogs and older children. Unknown with younger kids. Unknown with other cats. Tolerates baths fairly well.

Story
Meet Birdie: an affectionate, cuddle-hungry, and playful kitten! Like her namesake, Birdie is gentle, sensitive, and easily startled. Given the choice between fight and flight, Birdie chooses flight every time. Birdie has struggled to adjust to living with other cats because their presence causes her significant stress and anxiety. Rather than interacting with them or standing her ground, she withdraws completely. This isn't a behavior she has outgrown with time, and it has become clear that a multi-pet household simply isn't where she feels safe or comfortable - this is why we sadly have to part ways with her. We have found her personality shines when isolated from other pets (with exception of one of our cats she plays with who is stunted in growth - no fear due to size). Birdie deserves a family that will appreciate her gentle nature & give her the opportunity to be their one and only fur baby. In return, Birdie will offer endless cuddles, loyal companionship, love for life ❤️.

Story
Meet Maple! She was abandoned by my neighbor and has been living with us for about a month. Maple is about 3 years old. She is friendly, affectionate, and loves being around people. We would love to keep her, but our female cat rules this house, and she has made it clear there is no room for more. If you have another pet, we are happy to do a trial period to see if they work well together. Maple has had her Rabies vaccine, and we can get her the rest for a committed adopter. If you are looking for a playful, friendly lap cat, then this girl will bring you endless joy.

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 gentle and calm. 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. His foster parents have been working on his socialization. With gentle whispers, soft pets, and Churu he is learning that not all humans are bad. Mr. Golly’s personality would truly shine with a confident feline companion. He is currently residing with one of our other adoptable kittens, Fred. They would be a great duo together in a forever home, but it is not necessary. This shy boy absolutely loves his feline companions; he will play, wrestle, and zoom with them for as long as he can. This adorable boy is looking for a home that is willing to help him navigate the hardships he has been through. He deserves a gentle and nurturing hand that will continue to remind him that not all humans are out to hurt him. Bonus if you are looking to adopt a pair from us or you have a confident resident kitty! 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.

Story
Patrick is a handsome and adorable white and brown tabby boy with the silkiest soft coat and the sweetest little face. This playful guy absolutely loves batting toys around, soaking up pets, and—most of all—Churu treats. He’s especially fond of his kitten friend Sporty, but he’s a social boy who enjoys the company of his other kitty friends too. Patrick’s journey hasn’t been without challenges; he came to the clinic for what was supposed to be a TNR appointment and ended up winning the indoor life (and a devoted team) after being diagnosed with calicivirus. Patrick is still learning that people aren’t just around to give medicine—but once the treats come out, he knows you’re safe. Each day he grows more comfortable and outgoing, and it’s only a matter of time before this sweet boy blossoms into the confident little lad he’s clearly meant to be. Patrick is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped with lifetime registration. His estimated birthday is 6/11/25.
