Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This sweet boy has truly exceptional behavior everyone who meets him absolutely falls in love! He’s affectionate, loves to snuggle, and greets everyone with warmth and curiosity. He’s understandably a bit wary of dogs after being chased by one, but he doesn’t seem to mind cats at all. He’s a very chill, go-with-the-flow kind of cat who adapts easily to new environments. Quiet, calm, and relaxed even in the car, he’s the perfect easygoing companion for someone looking for a loving and gentle friend. Owen will be having his leg amputated due to an encounter with a dog before joining rescue.    Owen is from a local impound.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Loppy is a very energetic young man who absolutely loves interactive toys! His favorites are a rechargeable ball that he can chase for hours and, of course, the classic laser pointer. He’s an affectionate and curious boy who always wants to be where you are, “helping” with whatever you’re doing. While he may not be a lap cat, he never turns down pets and doesn’t mind being picked up. With time and slow introductions, Loppy does very well with other cats—though he hasn’t had any experience with dogs yet. Loppy is from an owner surrender.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Butternut came to us as a stray who found himself inside someone’s trap. He was very scared, shaky and hissed a lot. He has come so far and allows us to get close. He is starting to realize he is now safe and that there is always food and water so he no longer eats too much, too fast.   We have been able to pick him up and hold him for a little bit before he gets too scared. He is accepting head and chin scratchies and has showed us his motor! He is becoming more playful and no longer hides in the cat cave! With time, this little guy will make a great pet! And he has the cutest little face and showed us hit little meow now!  He’s come a long way in the short time we’ve had him!   Butternut is from stray surrender.

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.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 30, 2025, 1:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This kitty definitely thinks he’s the man in charge! He loves his food and can’t resist snuggling into a cozy basket or box. While he’s still a little guarded with new people, he’s making great progress and learning to trust more every day. With patience and love, he’s sure to blossom into an even more affectionate companion.     Chandler was found as a stray.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. We’ve had Pepper since we picked him up from a local impound on June 21. He joined his two siblings, who we had rescued a few days earlier. Watching Pepper’s transformation over the past three and a half months has been amazing. From the start, Pepper adored his siblings and would happily lick treats off our fingers—but he made it very clear that he had no interest in being petted, picked up, or convinced to love us… at least for the first three months. Once his siblings were adopted, Pepper seemed to accept that he was stuck with us. Slowly, he began to let us pet him more and more—and then, one day, he even let us pick him up! Now that he’s realized what he was missing, he lives for affection. He loves cuddling on the bed and never stops purring. Pepper gets along well with other cats, is comfortable around dogs, and uses his litter box faithfully. This sweet boy is finally ready to find his forever home and soak up all the love he deserves for the rest of his life. Pepper is from a local impound.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Chantilly — the tiny drama queen who survived outdoor life, four different meds, and probably her own attitude… and somehow came out even friendlier than she went in. After a long battle with coccidia and diarrhea (truly, a saga for the ages), this fluffball is growing like she has somewhere important to be — and honestly, she does: your lap. Chantilly has decided indoor life is absolutely her vibe. She’s litter box trained, eats like she’s preparing for winter, sprints to greet you like you’re a celebrity, and takes her meds like a professional patient. She’s great with all ages, and before being rescued she lived around dogs and other cats, so she’s basically got a glowing résumé. Her hobbies include: Being held like the royalty she is Sleeping on you, not near you Purring at a volume that should count as a noise complaint Playing with literally anything, including her sibling, Lace Chantilly would thrive in a home with her partner-in-chaos, Lace, or another playful friend — because tormenting, uh, loving, another cat is her love language.  Here’s a sweet video of Chantilly and Lace playing.  If you’re looking for a kitten who has survived the trenches and still acts like sunshine on legs, Chantilly’s your girl. Chantilly is from an owner surrender with her sister. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
