Story
Isadora the Independent Diva Meet Isadora, a talkative, sweet, and affectionate girl—with a strong independent streak and a clear idea of how she wants her world to run! She loves to chat with her people and enjoys attention, but always on her terms. Isadora is the kind of kitty who will form a deep bond with her chosen person (or two!) and keep you company with her adorable commentary and quiet affection. Shelter life has been a bit overwhelming for her, especially with all the sights and sounds of other animals—she’s made it very clear that she prefers to be the only cat in the home. She may be ok with being introduced to a small cat-savvy dog or a pocket pet in a few years after she fully adjusts, but she does really prefer being the only pet. In a calm, quiet environment where she can truly relax and be in charge, we expect her to settle in beautifully and show her best self.Isadora is looking for a low-key home with one or two people who understand and respect her boundaries. She tends to prefer women and may not be a fan of men, though she can coexist with them as more of a “background character” in her story. If you’re looking for a loyal, expressive companion with a bit of diva energy and a lot of love to give, Isadora is ready to rule her new kingdom. Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Story
Meet Thorton (aka Thor) — A Gentle Giant of Love! Thorton, affectionately known as Thor, is a shy but incredibly sweet kitty looking for a calm home where he can feel safe and loved. Thor has spent his whole life indoors and knows the joys of having a family to call his own. While he may be a little reserved at first, once he trusts his people, he becomes an incredibly affectionate companion. Thor loves being near his favorite person and wants to be part of everything they do when they are home. He`ll happily spend his nights curled up with them and enjoys soaking up the sunshine while relaxing during the day.Thor is looking for a patient family who understands the importance of respecting his boundaries while he adjusts. He has lived with children and did well when they gave him space and listened to his cues. He has also lived with a small, cat-savvy dog and did okay, but any new introductions to dogs should be done slowly and thoughtfully. Thor will appreciate cozy beds, sunny windows, and a peaceful routine where he can continue being the loving, loyal companion he is. If you`re looking for a sweet shadow who will happily follow you through life, Thor may be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Pontoon & Sundancer - Two Gentle Souls Made for Smooth Sailing! Pontoon and Sundancer are shy but incredibly sweet kitties searching for a calm, mature home where they can settle in and enjoy life`s quieter moments. These two were found together in a dumpster, relying on each other for comfort through a difficult start in life. While they don`t have to be adopted together, they would love to continue their journey side by side. Even more importantly, they thrive with feline companionship and don`t do well without other cat friends, so they would be happiest going home together or joining a home with another friendly, confident cat. Once they begin to feel safe, their gentle personalities start to shine, making every little step forward incredibly rewarding.Pontoon and Sundancer will need patient adopters who understand that a slow decompression period is the key to helping them succeed. They`ll appreciate plenty of cozy hiding spots, soft blankets, and tall cat trees where they can perch up high and quietly observe their surroundings while they gain confidence. Their history with dogs is unknown, so any introductions should be slow and thoughtful. With a peaceful routine, feline companionship, and lots of patience, Pontoon and Sundancer are sure to blossom into loving, lifelong companions who will make every day feel like a relaxing day on the lake.Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not fully reflect behavior in your home.

Story
Meet Tanya — The Queen of Quiet Company Tanya is a very sweet, gentle girl who believes life is best enjoyed at a slower pace. This quiet kitty isn`t interested in chaos, drama, or unnecessary excitement—she`d much rather spend her days relaxing beside her favorite person, accepting affection, and making sure treat time happens exactly when it`s supposed to. Tanya has mastered the art of companionship and is happiest when she can simply be near her people, whether that`s lounging on the couch, supervising from a cozy bed, or keeping watch from the top of a cat tree.Tanya is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can be the center of attention and receive all the love, treats, and wet food her heart desires. She would love plenty of comfy beds, soft blankets, and high perches where she can relax and observe the world in peace. When it comes to other animals, Tanya is still figuring things out. Dogs are a mystery to her, and for now she very politely says, `No thank you,` to feline roommates. (Ask her again in a few years and she might reconsider.) If you`re looking for a low-key companion who values quality cuddle time, peaceful afternoons, and a well-stocked treat cabinet, Tanya is ready to claim her spot by your side.
