Story
Hello, I am looking for a new home for my sweet girl. She is 10 years old and is a great cat to have. I have to move and unfortunately cannot bring her along… she may take time to get comfortable so she could possibly be temperamental, but once she is she is very sweet! She is amazing if you’re looking for a kitty who is a very good lounger and isn’t very needy, doesn’t mean she doesn’t love attention and pets though!

Story
Emi is an affectionate, cuddly cat. She looooves people and approaches them kindly and with purring. Emi does not love other animals, as she has had past cats chase and attack her. She gets scared and defensive and hisses when our dog tries to play with her too, although they do lay around in the same room or bed just fine. Still, she is best in a home without other pets. When she is stressed, she marks territory by urinating outside her litter box, usually in about the same area of the floor. I have carpet and unfortunately can’t afford to change to hard flooring to accommodate this. Emi gets annual vet visits. She had a teeth cleaning and one extraction last year, and her last checkup and shots were Oct. 31, 2025. I believe Emi needs a loving, cuddly owner without other pets to love on her in her senior years. If you have a heart for cats who need some attention and love cuddles, Emi may be perfect for your home. Let me know if you have questions or would like to meet her.

Story
Poppy-Female- DOB 06/01/2024 Well who do we have here?? We have a Poppy! A Princess!! A Petite and tiny lady that is Full of 'Cat-it-tude' and 'Tort-it-tude'!!! Poppy is a dreamy, cuddly, sweet, and beautiful fluff muffin, however we do have a few things to do a chat about..... Poppy LOVES HUMANS!!!!!! Little humans, Medium humans, Big humans. Poppy is happy with all humans!!!!! However Poppy will NOT be thrilled to live amongst other cats though....... after all, she is A Princess! Poppy is such an amazing cat, however she spent her early months of life on the streets and has had a few "street cat" behaviors follow her into her young adulthood. Food, water, and shelter can be hard to come by for a street cat. Poppy will do best as a single cat so she knows that she will always be safe, warm, and fed. Poppy has been doing incredible at her foster home. She has her basic needs easily met and is purrrrrrrfect. Another situation that naturally occurs amongst animals that are in an environment where a hierarchy (or 'pecking order') is displayed... is the freedom to alleviate themselves appropriately. AKA- Go potty where they prefer to go potty. Now, while we can only assume what Poppy endured during her life as a street cat, we are assuming that because of her tiny stature, gender, and desire to be friendly to humans, she was more than likely bullied far more than other cats. Because of this, Poppy has a condition called Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC) otherwise known as Sterlie Cystitis. When Poppy is stressed, or if she doesn't have her preferred litter box style to urinate in, her bladder becomes inflammed and she starts to urinate blood. This is not a UTI (urinary tract infection), it is just the way her little body reacts to a potentially stressful scenario. And rounds of antibiotics do not help solve it. What DOES help is a tiny little pill called Amitriptyline. She is NOT on a prescription urinary diet, she has just been on this medication since the beginning of April and has not had any accidents or issues since the middle of April. She is actually tapering off to the lowest possible dose at 1/2 tablet every other day now!!!!!!!!!! We are so thankful that we found a solution to help Poppy!!!! FIC is not only frustrating for the humans involved, it is also very painful for the cat! But now we are solving the problem and excited to help find Poppy the purrrfect home that will be able to cater to her needs the way she deserves. **Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals!

Story
Scarlett - Female - DOB- 7/1/2023 Meet Scarlett Scarlett is a lovable little weirdo who adores people, cats, and dogs — she just has a very unique way of showing it. Her love language? A dramatic "hiss hiss hiss"... followed by rubbing all over you like her long-lost best friend. Once she's said her awkward hello, she's all sweetness and snuggles. If you appreciate a cat with character, Scarlett will keep you smiling every day. **Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals!

Story
Meet Sunshine — a survivor, a nurturer, and one of the most remarkable cats you’ll ever meet. She came to us after being found in an abandoned parking lot, burned and broken but still fiercely devoted to her newborn babies. Through weeks of care and healing, she showed a strength that can only come from a mother’s love. Now fully healed and ready for her next chapter, Sunshine is calm, affectionate, and endlessly gentle. She loves people, dogs, kids — truly everyone — and takes life as it comes with quiet grace. Sunshine has done her job as a mama and is ready to enjoy the peace and comfort she’s earned. She’d love a calm home where she can nap in the sun, watch the world go by, and finally just be loved. **Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals!

Story
Fenway-Female- DOB-05/02/2019 Fenway is a sweet, easy-going girl who would do best in a home without other cats. She might be okay with a dog, but only with slow, proper introductions. This little beauty is still learning to feel confident, but she’s already showing what a sweet and gentle soul she is. In her foster home, it didn’t take long for her affectionate side to shine—she happily accepted pets and attention and has always been calm and friendly. Fenway can be a little slow to warm up in a big space, but she’s curious and playful, especially with her favorite fuzzy toys. This gal just needs a patient home where she can feel safe and truly at ease! Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals!
