Story
Cali, aka Cali Alley Cat, aka Cali-fornia Pizza Kitchen, was found outside with her two siblings when they were just 3 weeks old (May 2025). Cali was (and still is) the bravest, most curious kitty of her siblings and the only one who likes to be pet. In fact, she likes it so much, she's begun demanding it with these short little quacking meows that won't stop until you give her an adequate amount of scritches. We've started calling it The Quack Attack. Though she is brave, Cali is still somewhat of a skittish cat, and is very scared of strangers. She will need lots of time to warm up to someone new but is surprisingly easy to win over with a good wand toy and ample amounts of play time. She will get along with other cats once the proper introductions are made. She eats both wet and dry food every day and loves Churus. She has only just lapsed on her vaccines (she received them last year in early October) but is otherwise a healthy (indoor only) cat!

Story
She is 6 years old, (birth month is 01/2020) I adopted her at the Eau Claire Humane Association in early 2022. Very cuddly and sweet, but gives some love bites. Mostly lazy but sometimes playful. Good with litter box, other than occasionally not covering up the best, as well as scratching the sides of the litter box. Prefers to be an only pet but can warm up with other cats over time, good with small, non-aggressive dogs. No experience with children. Sheds a lot. Very vocal. A bit overweight. I would like to find her a home where she can get a lot of love and attention. Hasn't been updated on shots since adoption.

Story
Lucy and Ethel are a bonded pair from Texas, Lucy is the mother to Ethel and they are incredibly sweet. Lucy is a pretty vocal kitty and loves to let you know when she's hungry or wants attention. She is much braver than Ethel, who is skittish and very anxious. After she's warmed up to you however she can be pretty sweet, though she's a bit of a brat with the litter box. She's picky about the cleanliness of it if you don't keep up with their potty breaks Ethel also tends to try and eat Lucy's food if they aren't separated, and they will beg a little bit for people food. Don't give into their cute looks, however. Also, neither of them really like being picked up and held. Overall they're wonderfully sweet girls, they are very good with people and other pets but a little more on the shy side, as long as you're patient with them they'll show off their wonderful personalities eventually. (They can't be separated)

Story
Snake is a stray cat that we’ve been feeding for a few months now. He loves to curl up in a warm lap and be swaddled like a baby, but only likes head scritches. He purrs like a motorboat if you scratch his head or chin just right. Pet him anywhere else and he’ll let you know to stop with a little warning nip… he’s never actually punctured skin or attacked anyone though. He’s very playful and loves following people around, often walking right next to them or running between their legs. He definitely does it for attention, so if you want a cuddly little guy who will never leave your side, please consider giving Snake a home.

Story
Void, aka Void Girlie, was found outside with her two siblings when they were just 3 weeks old (May 2025). Though she's been an indoor cat ever since, she is still very skittish and has not yet learned to fully trust humans (I was unable to separate her from her feral mother in time to properly socialize her), but is far from a lost cause! She's every bit a normal housecat, who loves to eat, sleep, and play, especially if a human has a good wand toy or a laser pointer. Void can get along with other cats, as long as proper introductions are made, but would probably do best on her own or with her siblings (also available on this site). I truly think a quiet home and patient, loving owners is all she really needs to come fully out of her shell and discover the joy of scritches! She eats wet and dry food daily and loves Churus. She has only just lapsed on her vaccines (she received them last year in early October) but is otherwise a healthy cat!
