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
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
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
Lisa & Lopez are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together! These two wayward souls are looking for a safe haven to call home. Lisa and Lopez are a bonded pair of 12 year old FIV+ street kitties that are in no shape to go back outside. Both of them had dentals and Lisa only has one tooth left. After spending so long outside these two cuties are very fearful of people, so will need lots of patience and a home that will provide them with food and love (maybe from a distance) and not expect anything in return. When they're snuggled up together peaceful and safe that is enough. They love soft blankets and pillows and will spend the whole day cozied up together. They aren't aggressive, just very scared. We are looking for a home that is willing to work with them as they slowly gain confidence. Will you be the sanctuary these sweeties have dreamed of? Lisa is spayed, vaccinated, and FIV+. Her estimated birthday is 5/13/2013. Make Lisa & Lopez a part of your family today!

Story
Chummy is a playful, snuggly little tuxedo girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart! She’s the is very outgoing, and she loves being in the middle of the action. This silly, rambunctious girl will keep you laughing with her kitten antics and then melt your heart as she curls up in your lap to observe the world—or just snooze while purring away. Chummy is also quite the chatterbox and will happily chat with you while weaving between your legs, asking for love or attention. She and her sister Cynthia are the perfect blend of cuddly and playful—they wrestle, zoom, and then crash into a snuggly pile together. Chummy may have started off a bit shy, but she’s truly come out of her shell and is now a confident, affectionate sweetheart ready to bring joy to her forever home. Chummy's estimated birthday is 6/11/25. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, and microchipped with lifetime registration.

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.
