Story
Lenore is a sweet old lady who is ready to settle down and find her soulmate in her forever home. While it takes her a few weeks to really truly show her personality, once she gets comfortable in her space, she is such a sweetheart. Her favorite activity (no matter the time of day) is looking out at the world through the window. She is a lazy girl most of the time, but she is a kitten at heart. A toy mouse, puff ball, and anything on a stick are her favorite toys to play with (especially if they have feathers). She is an extremely curious girl but she's very respectful when she does so. It's adorable to watch and let her explore her space. She's very sneaky and quiet but is mostly full of manners. She's never had an issue with the litterbox when I've had her. As she does have long hair, it's important to prioritize brushing her for at least a few minutes a day to prevent hairballs but don't worry, she loves being brushed! I'm not sure how she would be with kids and/or other animals but since she has lived most of her life in a quiet house, I would think that she would appreciate keeping it that way.

Story
Camilla is a bright, curious girl with a playful spirit and a whole lot to say. She and her siblings had a rough start after being rescued from a dumpster, but with time in foster care she has blossomed into a chatty explorer who loves roaming around and announcing herself until she finds a friend to play with. She enjoys hide and pounce games, climbing to the highest spots she can reach, and batting at fishing pole toys. All of Camilla’s siblings have been adopted except for her and her brother Grover, and these two would absolutely love to find a home together. They comfort each other, boost each other’s confidence, and make an adorable, entertaining pair. Camilla can still be a bit wary in busy environments, so she will do best in a calmer home without young children, ideally with someone patient and gentle who will let her settle in at her own pace. Under that cautious exterior is a fun, affectionate kitty who just wants to feel safe and loved. If you are looking for a lively duo to bring joy and personality into your home, Camilla and Grover are ready to meet you.

Story
Hello my name is Nomad! I am a curious and chatty young man. I came in with my brother Shibl, so I would do good in a house with another kitty. I am a relaxed dude who would love to cuddle up on a couch or lay by a window for hours. I'm doing great in my foster home- litterbox trained, don't mind the dogs too much as long as they keep sleeping on the couch while I roam, and I'm anxious to get into the rooms I haven't explored yet!

Story
Hello, I'm Zeke. I am what the internet would call a very smol boi. I'm 2 years old, and weigh only 3 lbs. I am looking for a quiet household where I can feel safe and relaxed. I can be quite shy with new people and surroundings (again, I am small-- everything is giant and scary), but I'm very sweet once I have time to get acquainted. I am quite talkative and will meow and purr to you all day! I enjoy cheek rubs, back scratches, and catnip stuffies.

Story
Hollys' litter is a sweet, social little family who has settled into foster care beautifully. Their mom, Holly, is friendly, playful, and affectionate, and the kittens — Gingerbread, Noel, Rudolph, and Elf — are all happy, outgoing, and full of energy. They’ve been great with young children, are fully litter trained, and love climbing, interacting, and getting lots of attention. Mom is still learning to avoid counters and use her scratch post, but she’s improving every day. This cheerful bunch would do well in just about any home and is ready to bring lots of love and joy to their adopters.

Story
Jack and Witchy are sweet kittens. They are still rather shy and take time to trust people. Once they are comfortable with you they love to be petted and have the loudest purrs. They love to play with toys of all kinds and really enjoy cat treats. They will need understanding and patience in their new environment while they adjust.
