Story
We received Banana and his brother Bob in the fall of 2025. They were both on a farm on their way to a shelter and we wanted to try to keep them out. We quickly realized that my husband was very allergic to cats. We have tried to rehome to family and friends due to not wanting them to go to a shelter and that brought us here. They are the sweetest kittens and very loving. They love all dogs, cats, kids, or really any living things. They’re incredibly desensitized to most things so they’re not skittish, and they’ll be your closest companion. This adoption is for both Bob and Banana. (Bob is the brown tabby, also a neutered male with shots up to date) They are bonded brothers and we can’t imagine separating them. Our adoption fee is set because we truly just want them to go to a loving home and I also have loads of supplies. This includes a cat tower, water fountain, food, litter, litter box, toys, hygiene products and more!

He is a great, sweet, and very affectionate kitty who loves being with his people and snuggling at night! Binx will come with his litter box, cat tree and kitty toys. We are rehoming due to extreme cat aggression with our two bigger dogs it has gotten very dangerous for him.

Story
We adopted Ellie Mae 5 years ago. A lot has changed in our lives and sadly have to seek a new home for Ellie. She is spayed, declawed, and is truly one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. She has a gentle personality and does wonderful with kids of all ages (from newborns on up), dogs, and other cats. She is also fully litterbox trained. This sweet girl is very treat-motivated — she’ll happily show off her best manners for a cat treat! 😊 She loves when people come to visit and enjoys being part of the family activity. Playtime is one of her favorite things, especially with toy mice and anything that rolls across the floor. We have a chair by the window that’s her preferred napping spot, and at night she faithfully sleeps at the foot of the bed. We are looking for a loving home where she will be spoiled and given lots of attention. We want to be sure she goes somewhere safe and caring.

Story
Meet Handsome 🐾 True to his name, Handsome is a strikingly beautiful boy with a gentle soul and a heart that’s just waiting to blossom. This sweet male kitty is looking for a calm, quiet home with a patient family who understands that some cats need a little extra time to feel safe and secure. Handsome may be shy at first, preferring to observe the world from a cozy hiding spot while he learns that he’s truly home. But with kindness, routine, and gentle encouragement, he begins to show his soft, affectionate side. Once he trusts you, you’ll see the tender, loving companion he was always meant to be. He would thrive in a peaceful environment without a lot of hustle and bustle—somewhere he can settle in at his own pace and build confidence day by day. A patient adopter who celebrates small victories (like a curious peek or a brave step closer) will be rewarded with the quiet joy of watching Handsome come out of his shell. If you believe that the deepest bonds are built on trust and time, Handsome may be your perfect match. Give this deserving boy the safe haven he’s been waiting for, and you’ll gain a devoted friend for life. 💙 Fill out a Match Me form online at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Cat All C.A.R.E rescue cats are vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested, spayed/neutered, current on parasite prevention and microchipped!

Story
Check out this sweet, special needs bonded pair! MARMALADE is a petite fella who was found all alone on the steps of a local bank - people went in and out for hours and he sat right there...watching and waiting...frozen in fear. He is looking for a calm home with his buddy COLONEL. 😻 COLONEL has a mild case of cellebellar hyperplasia as he is on the wobbly side. He came to us in need of a variety of assistance as a tiny thing and he even had FHO surgery on his hip. He has been learning to walk well again and is a fan favorite of the volunteers because he is the sweetest and most cuddly boy. ❤ He sure loves MARMALADE and together they take care of one another. IF you have a laid back, calm home on one story these boys may be just who you are looking for. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/edit/a.3248190108779294 WOW cats are fully vetted to age with a lifetime microchip.
