Story
This sweet cat was a devoted companion to an international student, quietly sharing daily life and long study nights. He is smart, gentle, and exceptionally well-behaved—never causing damage and always respecting his home. His owner has now completed his studies and returned to his home country, and this cat is missing the person he loved. He is safe, but he needs a new family to give him affection, stability, and a sense of belonging again. If you are looking for a calm, intelligent, and loving companion, he is ready to begin a new chapter in a caring home.

Story
Ginger is a 1 year old sweet, loving, and playful cat. She is an inside cat only. She is a tabby mix breed with gray, orange/tan and white coat. Short haired and doesn't shed much. We found Ginger under our car when she was a little kitten. Her mom was a stray that died and our neighbors found the mom afterwards close to our house. The poor kitty was burnt on her side by the car she was sleeping in. After a vet visit, she is all healed and has a beautiful shiny coat. She has been fed high quality food only. Ginger is a pampered cat that loves pettings and attention. She is playful with her cat sister, Gypsy who is also available for adoption on here. We are only rehoming Ginger due to having to relocate to another state and we can't take her along. She is microchipped, spayed and has all immunizations. Vet paperwork provided with adoption.

Story
Meet Achilles!! He was born around 10/7/24. This gorgeous tabby came to us dragging his whole hind end. We were fearful of his prognosis. However, he is a tough fighter. He has had his back shattered leg removed and his pelvic bone is healing from fracture. He was a little standoffish and hissed when went to pet him which don't blame him with pain he must of been in. However, as he has healed he is becoming more and more trusting. He allows me to pet and love on him. He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, current flea/tick prevention and microchipped.
