Story
Ruby is a lovely 3 year-old shorthair adopted by our family when she was a kitten. She's a wonderful housecat who is quiet, keeps to herself, and loves to snuggle up in some nice blankets. She currently has a younger sister and does well with her, so she may be okay in a home with another cat. However, she experiences anxiety and stress responses with any changes in her life or too much stimulation, so she would be best in a quiet home without young children. She's non-aggressive and very sweet, but has some toileting behaviors when she is under this kind of anxiety. Ruby is house-trained and if given a few clean options of litter boxes, uses them 90% of the time...however when there is a life change or some anxiety she sometimes does her business on the floor. Her human mama is currently expecting a baby, and unfortunately Ruby must be rehomed to a family without any young children so she can be most secure and have her extra needs taken care of.

Story
Scarlett is a sweet 15-year-old gray kitty who’s ready to enjoy her well-earned kitty retirement. This friendly, chubby girl is affectionate and loves curling up next to her people, often choosing a cozy spot nearby to nap and keep you company. She still has a playful side and enjoys batting around string toys, and she’s fascinated by birds and squirrels, so a comfy window seat would be perfect for her retirement lifestyle. Scarlett also loves being brushed and soaking up gentle attention. Scarlett gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, strangers, and people of all ages. She’s an easygoing, loving companion looking for a calm home where she can spend her golden years cuddling, bird-watching, and relaxing with her family.

Story
Pretty girl Zinnia has had a rough start to life, but you’d never know it from her bright spirit and loving heart. After spending some time behind the scenes getting the medical care she needed, she’s finally out on the adoption floor, and she’s doing wonderfully! Zinnia doesn’t let the hard stuff get her down. She’s always in high spirits and ready to soak up attention. This girl is the definition of a love bug. The moment you start petting her, her purr motor switches on - loud and proud! She makes the sweetest little biscuits and will gently rub her head against your forehead like she’s giving you a kitty kiss. All Zinnia wants is to be close to her person, sharing affection and companionship. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion who will fill your home with purrs and cuddles, Zinnia is ready to start her next chapter with you.

Story
Meet Zuri, a beautiful 3-year-old tortoiseshell with a big personality and clear opinions. Zuri prefers not to be picked up and would do best in a calm, dog-free home. She needs a home with no kids and no other pets, where she can feel safe and relaxed as the only queen of her castle. She can be bashful around strangers at first, but offer her a Churu treat and you’ll win her heart in no time. Since moving into a larger space at the shelter, Zuri has been opening up wonderfully and showing more of her confident, curious side. She enjoys having room to explore at her own pace and has been growing more comfortable each day. Zuri loves nibbling on fresh cat grass and really enjoys having catnip sprinkled on her scratcher, happily rolling and rubbing against it with contentment. Sweet, sassy, and full of charm, Zuri is looking for a quiet home that respects her boundaries and appreciates her unique personality. Please ask about her medical needs when applying.

Story
Minerva (Minnie) is about 9-10 years old. She is on the petite side about 9-10 lbs. She was adopted in Mississippi and moved up here with us several years ago. We had 2 kids and unfortunately our oldest is showing signs of allergies and it's believed to be from our cat (runs in the family). We are hoping to find a loving home for her. She is sweet and affectionate. She has done well with our two kids, no issues, and we also have a fairly large dog she gets along well with too. I think she'd do great in a home where she can get more attention than we'e able to give her in this phase of life.

Story
Felicity is a lovely 2-year-old dark tabby with beautiful markings and the cutest pointy ears that give her a constantly curious look. Found as a stray, she’s still adjusting to the busy shelter environment, but her sweet, gentle personality is shining through more each day. She seems to really enjoy attention and relaxes with soft pets and calm company. Felicity would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can continue to build confidence and feel safe. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted, quiet companion with stunning tabby good looks, Felicity may be the perfect addition to your family.
