Story
🧶Lucy is adorable, playful, sometimes shy, and very gentle—like a kitten in a sweet 5-year-old body. She’s been the love of our lives. She snuggles with her brother but is uncomfortable with our older cat, so she may do best as an only cat or in a home with people around more, a steady routine, or even a mostly-outdoor/unique setup. 🐈‍⬛ Her challenge is occasional peeing outside the litter box. The vet believes it’s behavioral—loneliness, late meals, or territorial stress. She has her own box for pee, cleaned daily, and uses it, mostly reliably. She’s had a couple mild UTIs that respond well to meds, sometimes with a spot of blood, but further tests are costly. (Less than 1x/ year) 🐾She & her brother Merlin are secure together. we’re open to rehoming them as a pair. We aren’t home as much now, and while she uses her box most of the time, it's hard to manage with us gone a lot. We adore her and hope she finds a home that fits her needs. Ideally someone who can cover vet bills.

Story
Meet Olivia! She is a lovely girl with a big personality. This pretty kitty, deserves only the best! We think Olivia deserves to be spoiled - as the only pet in an active household. Olivia lived a wonderful life with her previous adopter as an only kitty. When another kitty entered the home Olivia developed behavioral difficulties. She was on Prozac,calming collars and had a cat behaviorist for 6-months. This was to no avail and her loving human returned her for Olivia's sake. Olivia has lots of energy and requires an experienced human who has time to play with her. She is also a very nosey kitty and will likely want to be included in everything you do! She will settle down after lots of play. Since she is long haired, you will need to assist her in keeping her gorgeous locks tangle free. Her bags are packed and she's waiting to go! If you think you have the time and energy to offer Olivia her best life, give TJO a call to arrange a meet and greet!.OTHER PETS: Should be Only PetOWNER EXPERIENCE:Some ExperienceKIDS: Olivia is best suited for anadult only home.ACTIVITY LEVEL:OliveVETERINARY CARE: RoutineLEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION:MinimalGROOMING: Routine BrushingFebruary 21, 2026, 6:00 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.

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.

This quiet, unassuming kitty would much rather be enjoying a peaceful nap than posing for photosâ&#194&#128&#194&#148and he made that very clear when it was picture time! True to his easygoing nature, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s a relaxed soul who prefers calm surroundings and cozy spots to snooze.He would likely do well as an only kitty or sharing his home with one or two friendly, social cats. Weâ&#194&#128&#194&#153 re unsure of his experience with dogs. Here, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s proven himself to be quite the couch potato, so a quiet, low-key home would suit him best. Andy is having a hard time here, his adopter must have lots of patience be on-board with helping him to ease into his new home.If youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153 re looking for a gentle companion who appreciates the simple pleasuresâ&#194&#128&#194&#148soft blankets, peaceful days, and unhurried affectionâ&#194&#128&#194&#148this mellow guy may be the perfect fit.OTHER PETS: We think Andy would prefer to be your one and only pet.OWNER EXPERIENCE: Andy's adopter must be experienced in helping scared kitties.KIDS: Andy is best suited for a family with teens and up.ACTIVITY LEVEL: Andy has been pretty quiet here.VETERINARY CARE: Andy is looking forward to meeting his new vet and receiving on-going regular vet care.LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: Andy's adopter will need to be patient as he learns to settle in to his new home.GROOMING:Andy takes very good care of his coat.February 21, 2026, 3:04 pm
