Story
Hi my name is Derrick.  I am an all black and slinky kitty, with a white mark on my chest- wide eyes and a long tail! I am very affectionate with my siblings.  I used to snuggle with them and clean them often! One of my brothers was adopted right after Christmas and the other one was adopted on January 20.  I miss them but am now ready to find my forever home.  Hopefully it will be with you.  I am food driven, love treats and a cozy spot on the couch or near the fireplace. I am a very social boy and I stay out and about the home but can still be a little scared of QUICK human contact.  You just have to go slow.  I do though follow my foster mom around! I like to know where she is and I love her attention.  If you are looking for a snuggle buddy for your kitty this I am your guy!  Derrick is neutered, current on all shots, FIV negative and microchipped.  To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net,  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Derrick is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)March 17, 2026, 5:12 pm

Story
Sylvester and Stallone are a lovable pair who are ready to bring twice the charm and companionship to their new home. These sweet boys enjoy spending time together and sharing their affectionate personalities with the people around them. Sylvester is a friendly and loving cat who has experience with other cats and isn’t shy about chatting with his people. Stallone is just as affectionate and has a soft spot for curling up in a cozy lap when it’s time to relax. He also enjoys sharing soft chats throughout the day. Together, Sylvester and Stallone make a wonderful duo full of love, personality and companionship!

Story
Simpson is a sweet, gentle 3½-year-old cat that I adopted from a farm in Vermont. He loves relaxing on a porch or windowsill and watching the world outside. Unfortunately, in my multi-cat household he hasn’t been able to stabilize medically. Over the past two years he has experienced recurring pancreatitis with occasional vomiting, which may be related to stress. I’ve been dealing with my own health challenges, and managing Simpson’s special medical needs has become difficult. Ideally, I would love to place him with someone who has veterinary or vet tech experience so he can continue to receive the attentive care he needs. I’m also open to helping his new adopter financially to support his ongoing care. Simpson’s favorite thing is sitting on my second-story porch and watching the wildlife, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature. I’m hoping to find him a home—ideally one with a three-season porch or another safe outdoor viewing space—where he can enjoy this.
