Story
Isis is apart of a long line of kittens that I had. I gave her to my mom when she was a baby My mother is elderly and currently in transition for medical reasons and Isis unfortunately needs a new home. We are deeply sad to see her go. She is the last of the line of cats from our family. Isis is 3yo bday 7/4/22 raised by my mom, they lived in a 5 story apartment building; since moving with me she has been outside and does well when called & perimeter acclimating. Isis has not been around young children throughout her life, when she is around toddlers she’s usually scared of them and hides with new people until feeling trust. She does good with adults. Isis loves to play her favorite fish flavored temptations cat treats. She loves to play with string toys & wands, paper bags & loves to cuddle. She does express when she doesn’t want to be bothered by walking away or swatting but does listen and responds to No, Come here, Go, & she knows her name and loves anyone with treats.

Story
Ghost and Pepper are a sweet bonded pair who found their way to TJO when their loving human encountered some difficult life circumstances and could no longer keep them. While this change has been hard for them, these two girls have each other for comfortâ&#194&#128&#194&#148and we are committed to keeping these best friends together as they search for their new home.Ghost, a beautiful long-haired grey tabby, is the more social of the pair and tends to be the brave one who helps lead the way. Pepper, her sleek black companion, is a bit more cautious and takes a little time to feel comfortable with new people and surroundings. Once she settles in, however, she enjoys the same gentle affection as her best friend.Both girls are calm, quiet kitties who appreciate soft voices, gentle pets, and peaceful companionship. They are not looking for a busy household, but rather a home where they can relax and feel safe.Ghost and Pepper would do best in a quiet home with older teens and adults, where patient adopters understand that shy kitties need time to adjust. A family with experience helping timid cats build confidence would be ideal for these lovely ladies.With a little patience and a lot of kindness, Ghost and Pepper will reward their new family with quiet companionshipâ&#194&#128&#194&#148and the special joy that comes from helping shy kitties feel safe and loved again.OTHER PETS: We believe social kitty friends may be OK. They have no experience with dogs.OWNER EXPERIENCE: Adopter should have experience with worried kitties.KIDS: The girls are best suited for older teens and up.ACTIVITY LEVEL: The girls are currently couch potatoes. We expect once settled,the girls will become more playful.VETERINARY CARE: The girls are looking forward to meeting their new vet and receiving on-going vet care.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: The girls require patient adopters to help ease them into their new home.GROOMING: Ghost will require some brushing to help her keep her gorgeous coat matt free.March 10, 2026, 12:23 pm

Story
Sweet little Poppy is so fortunate to have made it to us when she did! When she arrived, she required an emergency spay due to a life-threatening uterine infection. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s a shining example of why we strongly advocate for spaying our feline friends â&#194&#128&#194&#148 it truly saves lives.Poppy is a worried little girl right now, but beneath that uncertainty is a gentle, loving heart. She is accepting of soft petting and cuddles, and you can see her wanting so badly to feel safe. What sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s really searching for is a soft place to land â&#194&#128&#194&#148 a calm, patient home where she can blossom at her own pace.Her adopter must be committed to helping her adjust and understand that trust takes time. A confident, social kitty friend would be a wonderful role model for her and help show her that the world isnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153 t such a scary place.With patience, kindness, and love, Poppy is sure to grow into a devoted and sweet companion.OTHER PETS: A social kitty friend would be wonderful for her!OWNER EXPERIENCE: Poppy is best suited for an adopter who has experience with worried kitties.KIDS: Poppy is best suited for an adult only home.ACTIVITY LEVEL:Poppy is currently not very interested in play.

Story
Meet Coco â&#194&#128&#194&#147 A Busy Little Tortie with Lots of Love to GiveCoco is a gorgeous tortie girl with both beauty and personality to spare. When she was first adopted from TJO, she was a worried little kitty, but thanks to the patience and love of her family, Coco blossomed in her home and truly came out of her shell.Unfortunately, changes in her familyâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s situation have brought Coco back to TJO, and now sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s looking for another special home to call her own.Her family describes Coco as a playful and engaging kitty who loves being the center of attention. She has grown into quite the busy girl and enjoys interactive playtime with her people. Some of her favorite toys include tunnels, fishing pole toys, and little mouse toysâ&#194&#128&#194&#148anything that lets her pounce, chase, and show off her playful side.When sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s not busy playing, Coco is also the queen of making biscuits, happily kneading away when sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s feeling content.Coco will do best with an adopter who is excited to actively play and engage with her, as simply leaving out a pile of toys wonâ&#194&#128&#194&#153 t be nearly as fun for this social girl. Because she can become over-stimulated, Coco is looking for an adult-only home where her family can understand and respect her signals.For the right person, Coco will be a fun, lively companion who will fill your home with play, personality, and plenty of adorable biscuit-making.OTHER PETS: Coco is not too fond of other kitties. She'd be happiest as your one and only.OWNER EXPERIENCE: New cat people may find Coco challenging as she can become over stimulate..KIDS: Coco is looking for a very quiet, adult only home.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Coco is not yet ready to play as she is concerned as to why she is here with us.VETERINARY CARE: Coco is looking forward to meeting her new vet and receiving annual vet care.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: Coco's adopter will need to be patient while she learns to trust her new familyGROOMING: Coco will need minimal assistance in keeping her coat nice.March 10, 2026, 12:23 pm

Onyx is a very gabby and energetic kitty who has a lot to say and even more enthusiasm for life. He was surrendered to us because he took a bit too much interest in the pet birds and fish in his previous homeâ&#194&#128&#194&#148clearly, his curiosity knows no bounds!This high-energy boy needs adopters who can keep up with him. Active play is a must to help meet his physical and mental needs, and heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153 ll thrive in a home that enjoys engaging with their cat. Onyx would do best with other non-alpha but playful feline companions who can match his energy without overwhelming him. Cat-respectful dogs should be just fine.Onyx is a social shadow who will most likely want to be wherever his people are, taking part in the action and chatting about it along the way. If youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153 re looking for an interactive, lively companion who will keep you laughing and on your toes, Onyx may be your perfect match.OTHER PETS: Onyx may want a few social kitties to play with. Cat respectful dogs may be OK.OWNER EXPERIENCE: Adopter should be familiar with higher activity level kitties.KIDS: Teens and up would be best suited for this kitty as over-stimulation may be an issue.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Onyx is a very active kitty. No couch potato adopters for him.VETERINARY CARE: Onyx is looking forward to meeting his new vet and receiving on-going regular vet care.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: We expect Onyx to move pretty easily into his new home.GROOMING: Onyx takes very good care of his handsome tabby oat.
