Story
Meet Dorothy — a beautiful grey tabby girl with a gentle spirit and a playful heart just waiting to be discovered! Dorothy is a shy girl who takes a little time to feel comfortable in new situations, but she is slowly and surely coming around and the progress she is making is just wonderful to see. She is beginning to accept pets and is warming up more every day — she simply needs a patient, understanding person who is willing to let her set the pace. Once Dorothy feels safe and loved, her playful and sweet personality really begins to shine through. A calm and gentle home where she can continue to grow in confidence is just what this girl needs — and yes, Churu treats have been known to speed up the process considerably! Dorothy does well with other cats, so a feline friend or two is perfectly welcome. If you are the kind of person who finds joy in watching a shy cat slowly blossom into their full, wonderful self, Dorothy will reward your patience in the most beautiful way.

Story
Meet Spot, aptly named for the most adorable little spot on his nose, and trust us, it is even cuter in person! Those eyes of his might look a little sad in photos, but don't let that fool you for a second. Spot is one of those sweet, gentle boy cats who is just a lover through and through. Chill, affectionate, and genuinely one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet. He has a great purr and all the time in the world to share it with you. Spot loves other cats and actually prefers to have a buddy by his side. If you have a feline friend at home already, Spot will fit right in! If you know the particular magic of a sweet, easygoing boy cat who just wants to love and be loved, then you already know exactly why Spot is so special. Come meet him!

Story
Meet Calypso, a stunning calico tabby with a story that proves some cats are simply meant to survive. Calypso came to us having survived life on the streets and a FIP diagnosis, and she came out the other side happy, healthy, and ready for her next chapter. This girl is a fighter in every sense of the word, and she has come so far that it is remarkable. She deserves every good thing that is coming to her next. She is thoughtful about who she gives her heart to, but once she does, she gives it completely. She needs a patient adopter who will give her a little time to settle in and trust her new environment, but once she does? She will demand your full and undivided attention, and you will be more than happy to oblige. She loves to be petted, loves her wet food (this is non-negotiable, per Calypso), and has done wonderfully with the cats and even the dog in her foster home. She would do best with a kind, confident feline friend by her side. Calypso thrives in a calm, stress-free, zen home where she can finally just exhale and be loved. She has more than earned it.

Story
Meet Margaret, a beautiful kitten with a personality so big and loving it fills up every room she is in! Margaret is one of those kittens who just radiates happiness. She is playful, loving, and an absolute delight to be around from the very first moment. She loves people, loves to play, and loves to be right in the middle of whatever is happening. Life is simply better with Margaret in it, and she knows it! A note about Margaret: she initially tested positive for FIV antibodies, which sounds scarier than it is! A positive FIV antibody test in a young kitten most commonly means she received those antibodies from her mama, not that she has the disease itself. She will simply need to be retested at 6 months of age, which is standard practice. For more information, we love this resource from Kitten Lady: www.kittenlady.org/fiv Margaret is ready to bring all of her sunshine and kitten joy into her forever home. Is that home yours?
