Story
It breaks my heart to have to do this, but I’m looking for the perfect home for my sweet, two year old boy, Luke.Luke is one of the most loving, gentle, and cuddly cats you’ll ever meet. He loves to curl up beside you, follow you around the house, and soak up all the affection he can get. He’s incredibly sweet-natured and just wants to be near his people.This decision hasn’t been easy, but I know Luke deserves more time, attention, and love than I’m able to give him right now. My biggest priority is finding him a home where he’ll be cherished, spoiled, and given all the cuddles he deserves.If you’re looking for a loyal companion with the sweetest personality, Luke could be the perfect addition to your family. I want to make sure he goes to a loving home where he’ll be happy for the rest of his life.

Story
Monkey is my 6-year old sweet girl who has spent her entire life deeply loved, and I am saddened to have to look for a new home for her. I adopted Monkey when she was 8-weeks old.Monkey thrives in quiet, predictable environments, and her ideal home would be with no other cats or dogs (we are currently a 3-cat household), so she can relax without the stress of sharing her space. Because of an incident 3 years ago where she saw a stray cat outside our window, she has developed severe anxiety surrounding other cats, which causes her to lash out at her cat-siblings if she is feeling feisty at them. When Monkey feels safe, she is affectionate, sweet, and fun! She loves peaceful naps, being pet, brushed, and lets me know she loves me with her slow blinks and head-nudges. She takes a while to warm up to other humans, but I'm confident it would work well. Monks adapts easily to moving homes as well. She is currently on Prozac for anxiety which is a daily pill (easy to give in a squeeze treat!)

Story
Ethel, a beautiful black tortie with green-gold eyes, was taken in as part of a TNR effort in our neighborhood along with her sister, Lucy, an orange tabby. After their spay surgeries, we realized the sisters could be socialized, and we've been fostering them since then. We estimate they are around 12 months old. Once shy and cautious, Ethel has blossomed into a sweet, gentle kitty who enjoys being petted and talked to and lives for chasing a laser toy at top speeds. She may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, she'll seek you out for petting sessions and will express herself with the sweetest quiet mews. She has a silky coat and is growing into a sleek and elegant kitty. She’s a love! Ethel and Lucy get along wonderfully, enjoying playtime and naps together, and would be great buddies if adopted together. We've put a lot of love into helping Ethel become the confident kitty she is today, and now we're hoping to find a loving owner and a forever home!

Story
I adopted Koda in 2024 as my older cat seemed to be lonely. He has since become the most loving animal I have ever known. He is extremely cuddly and wants nothing but to be closest to me and my roommate. We do not know anything about his life before the adoption center. He is very loving, playful, and a great pet. I am devastated that I can no longer keep him as some financial struggles have made me need to move and I cannot bring both cats. A house with 1 dog or cat would most likely be best for him as he loves to play. When he is not playing he is normally making biscuits or sleeping in adorably hilarious positions.

Story
T'challa is a wonderful feline! I took him in from a farmer's home when he was a little over a month old (supposedly; born March 12th 2025). With my work hours and having to care for him at such a young age. It was a challenge presented as a blessing in disguise. He's over a year now. Full of energy (so, yes, playful). Oddly enough, he is also easy to bathe (he's calm for the most part, as I would sing or talk to him). The challenge is the claw clipping. I'd leave that to a professional. Sometimes, I would take him for a walk, preferably an area with fewer others around (he gets uncomfortable). He's prone to motion sickness. So it is ideal to keep him kenneled. Placing him in a closed in litter box worked great. No messes. It is unfortunate, the reason for my having to place such a post. He and I have learned that he doesn't get along with other animals. I take it that he territorial of his space and human companion.

Story
Nezuko (“Nezzie”) is a sweet, affectionate 6-year-old former barn cat who has been with us since she was a baby. She is up to date on her veterinary care and truly loves attention. She is gentle, loving, and happiest when she can be close to her person. A few years ago, she became extremely stressed around our other cats and has since shown that she needs to be the only cat in the home. She needs a home where she can have full access to the space and receive more consistent companionship. We are looking for a calm, loving home with no other cats, where Nezzie can feel secure and be treated like the affectionate companion she is. She would do best with someone who wants a devoted, cuddly cat and has plenty of love and attention to give.
