Story
The kitten Panther and his sister Sissy were brought to the house by a stray. I took in from the cold two years ago. Their age is under a year. I'm looking for a home that will keep Panther and his sister together. My cat Gavin doesn't like them. That's why I can't keep them. Trying to give Gavin peace. Very playful with each other. Beautiful kittens. He sounds like he is singing when he wants something. Sissy is a female short hair calico. Use Panther profile. She loves to be held. Sissy is smaller than Panther. Likes touching your face with her paw. They both are indoor and outdoor kittens.

Story
A few weeks ago, we discovered sweet Figgy tucked away in our garage. She had just given birth and had made a cozy little nest for her kittens in the bathtub where we store our outdoor couch cushions. At first, Figgy was understandably frightened, but it didn’t take long for her true personality to shine through. She’s incredibly loving and craves human interaction. She's always happy to receive pets, scratches, and attention. When we first found her, Figgy had two tiny kittens by her side. Sadly, and for reasons we don’t fully know, only one kitten remains. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been caring for Figgy and her baby, making sure they’re fed and safe. As much as we wish we could keep them, we already have a female cat who does not get along with other cats. Because of that, we feel the most loving decision is to find Figgy and her kitten a home where they can stay together and receive all the care, comfort, and affection they deserve.

His name is Gordy, I’ve had him since birth. He is such a loving boy. I would love to keep him and his brother but I can’t. His brothers name is Fatsy Kline. If you could take the together that would be amazing but Gordy is a one of a kind. If you want a cat that will sing with you, want to stand in the shower while you shower, and snuggle up on your chest at night then he is your guy. I love him and he’ll love you too. I just want him to be loved.

Story
I found midnight at a gas station back in October 2024. I was told she was dumped by a family earlier that day. She is great with other cats. She is trained to pee in the litter box however she has never pooped in the litter box. It has been like this ever since I brought her home. I have tried different litters, medication, and countless vet visits with no solution.

Story
Puzzle is a sweet 6 year old. Once she's decided you are one of her humans, she loves curling up with you to make biscuits. She is not much of a meow-er but, omg can she purr. She loves claiming a spot close to you, she's also very playful. We adopted Puzzle from the Cat Cafe ~2023 and she took a few weeks to adjust to our home, but then everything was great. We moved and changed jobs in July 2025 and unfortunately something about the new hours or schedule doesn't work for her. In spite of trying myriad suggestions from the vet and the internet, she's very anxious and attacking the other cats (she didn't used to do this.) She's been on Prozac about 4 months, but might not need it in a less anxious situation. We are devastated but cannot find a way to decrease her anxiety. She currently doesn't do well with other cats, but she used to, so I don't know if she necessarily needs to be an only cat or not. She may just need people who are home more than we can be now with our new jobs. :(

Story
Gary is a 5-year-old neutered male I rescued from a farm that didn’t have the resources to care for him. He’s a laid-back, sweet cat whose biggest priorities in life are snacks, naps, and cuddles (on his terms!). He loves chasing a laser pointer and then settling in for long naps wherever he can find a sunny spot, often in my dog’s bed. Gary is affectionate but independent and prefers to initiate attention. When he wants love, he’ll come over for cuddles and give the cutest little sandpaper tongue licks to get your attention. His meow is more of a scratchy squeak, and you’ll definitely hear it when he’s hungry. He’s great with kids and other animals and has lived with cats and a dog. Gary does have feline herpes, which just causes the occasional sneeze and doesn’t seem to bother him. He’s an indoor-only cat, and I’m looking for a loving home where he’ll be cared for and spoiled.
