Story
This is Matilda. She's a beautiful kitten, the daughter of a wild mother we used to feed in our garden. Last winter, Matilda turned up pregnant, and since we've been rescuing cats for years, we took her in and gave her a safe place to stay. When the kittens grew old enough, we found them loving homes, but Matilda was left behind, waiting for her chance. Matilda is now spayed, vaccinated, and fully adapted to indoor life. She's a quiet and shy kitten who doesn't like being held, but enjoys being around people. She gets along very well with other cats and loves the quiet of a home and looking out the windows. Unfortunately, we have too many cats at home and will be moving soon. Because of this, we haven't been able to give Matilda the time and attention she truly deserves. By giving her an important place in your family, you can build a strong and lasting bond with her, and in return, she will give you her love and gratitude for ever.

Story
Pluto was adopted by my brother, 2 weeks out of the litter. He only provided basic provisions like feeding her, giving her a littler box and affection. This did not include any vet visits, I got her spayed at 3 years old, her only vet visit. This was not the right home for Pluto. She was kept mainly in his room, my mother didn’t want a cat and constantly spooked her or got loud with and shooed her aggressively (never physically hurt her) to try and get her to stay off of furniture and such. My brother then left her behind in my other brothers care, he took better care of her, but was barely home, she was alone often. And he’s moved as well now. She’s not socialized and gets spooked and triggered easily and bites at the ankle or attacks randomly. Never anything severe. She’s a sweet cat, but she needs someone experienced. She’s very cautious, shy, and mistrusting. But she’s very curious and while I believe in the right home, she will thrive. I feel for her and want what’s best for her..

Story
This cute little one was born about 8 weeks ago, with other siblings. There was already cats and a dog in the house, so we’re looking for a new, INDOOR home. There was a little confusion as to the gender, but we think it’s a male. Bailey’s healthy and likes to play. Kittens need extra care while they’re growing.

Story
Six Little Scared Kittens Seeking Safe HomesSix tiny lives were rescued from the cold outdoors and are now beginning their journey toward trust and connection. With their wide eyes and cautious hearts, these babies remind us how resilience can grow when given safety, patience, and compassion.Special Needs:Best suited for homes without other pets or small childrenShould begin in a quiet, separate room with limited hiding spotsRequire consistent, gentle socialization at their own paceWhy They Matter: These kittens have never known human kindness before. They need caregivers who understand that healing takes time, and that building trust is a process. Just as social workers nurture vulnerable individuals, adopters will be offering these kittens the chance to thrive in a supportive environment.Meet the kittens:Margo (#1)Edith (#2) – already adopted!Gru (#3)Bob (#4)Kevin (#5)Agnes (#6)Our Walk-in adoption days are Monday`s, Wednesday & Thursday 12:00-4:00.
