Story
Marmalade is a beautiful, independent girl who likes to take life at her own pace. She can be pretty aloof at first and may need extra time to feel comfortable in a new home. While she isn’t usually the type to run up asking for attention, she does occasionally come over for pets when she’s ready. Her funny little love language? Sleeping right on top of her person! If you wake up at night and the blankets are feeling a little heavy, just know your friend has quietly chosen you as her favorite nap spot. Marmalade will likely do best with an adopter who understands shy or independent cats, is willing to give her time, and can start her in a smaller space while she adjusts. She may not be the best fit for someone looking for a super social, cuddly cat right away — but for the right person, she has her own quiet, quirky way of bonding.

Story
Posie is a gentle, kind-hearted soul who is looking for a peaceful home where she can simply enjoy life's quiet moments. This lovely middle-aged girl may be shy when meeting new people, but beneath her reserved exterior is a sweet and affectionate companion just waiting to blossom. Posie prefers to take her time getting to know someone. Once she feels safe and comfortable, she'll begin seeking out gentle pets and attention, rewarding your patience with her quiet trust and companionship. There is something truly special about earning the affection of a cat like Posie—it feels like a gift. While she enjoys the occasional play session, Posie is much more interested in relaxing nearby and keeping an eye on the world around her. She is perfectly content observing household activities, lounging in a cozy spot, and spending time with her favorite people. Posie would thrive in a calm, low-key home. She is very afraid of dogs and needs a canine-free environment where she can feel secure. She can coexist peacefully with other cats after a proper introduction, especially if they are respectful of her space and understand her gentle nature. This well-mannered girl is the complete package. She faithfully uses her litter box, prefers her scratching posts over furniture, and asks for very little beyond kindness, patience, and a comfortable place to call home. If you're looking for a quiet companion who will fill your home with gentle companionship rather than chaos, Posie may be the perfect match. She won't be the loudest cat in the room, but she just might become the one who quietly steals your heart. ❤️🐾

Story
Meet Caleigh, a stunning calico queen with a spunky personality and an endearing charm that will steal your heart! This shy beauty blossoms with calm, respectful interaction, quickly building trust with her favorite people. Caleigh is a cat who loves her independence but also craves affection. She enjoys exploring, and while currently residing in her own room, she relishes her daily tours of the house and yard in your arms. She’s surprisingly calm, never attempting to escape during these adventures. Expect snuggle sessions, purrs, and playful solo romps with toys—even if they sometimes end up in her water bowl! Speaking of water, Caleigh has a fun quirk: she loves to "swim" in her water dish, so an anti-tip bowl and frequent cleaning are a must! This smart girl will let you know when her food dish is empty or when she desires attention, a true communicator. While she tolerates car rides (with some vocal commentary!), she's a trooper at the vet and allows for nail trims (a few at a time!). Caleigh thrives as an only cat, as she can be a bit feisty with other felines. She has not been around dogs or children. She has a dedicated scratching routine on her towers and an upholstered bench, so provide plenty of scratching options. Important Considerations for Caleigh's New Family: Diet: Caleigh requires Royal Canin SO Rx kibble due to a history of bladder crystals. This specialized diet is essential for her health and can be costly, so please factor this into your budget. Weight Management: She'd benefit from a family dedicated to helping her reach a healthy weight. Litter Box: Caleigh is a "high urinator," so a top-entry litter box would be ideal for her comfort. Ceiling Fans: She's not accustomed to ceiling fans, so a gradual introduction in a larger space would be best. Caleigh is a truly special cat, full of personality and waiting for a patient, understanding home where she can shine as the queen she is!

BlueJay is a beautiful grey and white (with a hint of brown) kitty! BlueJay is a sassy girl who knows what she wants, when she wants it. She loves to speak to let you know what she wants. She loves to eat all kinds of food (kibble and wet), especially tuna in gravy. She is litter box trained and uses it perfectly. BlueJay has some strict boundaries and she will let you know. Don't touch her on her cat tree, she is in her hunting mode!! She loves to bird watch and will mimic the birds, it's adorable! BlueJay does fine with multiple adults, a teenager and a child (8+). She has not been around other cats or animals or young children (below 6). She doesn't mind being picked up but not for too long. BlueJay is a SLEEPER. Her human catches her sleeping 25/8, but she is the most adorable sleeper ever!!! She loves to sleep with her human when she can, often sleeping at their feet rather than on/by their face. She also loves to lay in their lap and loves head/neck scratches!! One of her favorite weekly routines is her combing time. She loves to be combed and won't switch sides until she says so. Trimming nails is a little tricky, but as for your furniture, she is a little lady and will retract her nails before pulling them off (she won't destroy furniture). At the end of the day, BlueJay is a sweet, self-conscious, and adorable companion to have. She loves hard and is loyal to the end. While she loves to do her own things, she loves your company the most. As long as you're there, she is content.

Story
Looking for a cat to pair with your art? Cheesecake’s natural grace and preferred recline positions makes him an ideal companion piece to your Modern abstract expressionist art collection. He spends most of his days in statuesque poses, on the softest surfaces he can find, his immaculate white fur spotted with black, an instant classic! This comes to no surprise as he hails from Mother England and still carries the poise and manners of a British gentleman. At 8 years young, he prefers a life of indolence, the playfulness of youth long behind him. Yet, as he gets comfortable with his caretakers, he would lie on his back, baring his belly, paws folded forward, unabashedly asking for pets. He is particularly fond of his head being scratched and produces the most melodious meows to obtain them. When he first arrived, he was fearfully skittish and spent the first week under the bed. But as time goes on, he warmed up to the humans around him and now, even with guests, would be seen prancing around in his black and white coat. Still, his proud old man spirit refuses to be picked up. He needs trickery and bribes to get into his carrier or take his medicine. A suitable caretaker for him should have the patience and experience tending to distrusting cats, who find it rewarding to earn trust more so than instant gratification. Once this trust is earned, he is a soothing companion who comes up to you with bouts of affection and pure joy.

Story
My siblings and I were born to a feral mom. When we were old enough, some nice people took us in so we could have a better life. Being around humans and in a home is all new to me, so I've been pretty scared. Mercury is making progress, but will need more reassurance. She needs someone with lots of love and patience while she learns this new world. A quieter home without small children is best. Another confident cat in the home would also benefit her. She loves to play and get crazy like normal kitten and gets along well with the resident cats in her foster home. While adopting a scared kitten is not for everyone, I promise it will be worth it when you win over my trust! Our foster mommy keeps telling me that some of the best kittens she’s had were scared just like me in the beginning. Grab a wand toy and some treats and I’ll be putty in your hand in no time! Want to meet me? Fill out an application and my foster mommy will contact you for a visit. Located in Spring Lake Park. ---- Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
