Story
Meet Copernicus – a distinguished gentleman with refined tastes and a strong sense of self. This particular fellow is selective about his human companions and prefers the company of those who understand feline boundaries and can read his cues. He’s not one for forced affection, but for the right person with cat-savvy instincts and a respectful approach, Copernicus has the potential to be a rewarding companion.Enrichment is key for this intelligent, opinionated guy—he thrives when his mind is engaged and his space is stimulating. He`s also a passionate foodie, so his love of treats will need to be balanced with mindful portions to keep him fit and healthy. If you`re an experienced cat person looking for a unique and complex companion, Copernicus may be just the cat for you.

Story
Meet Ivy – a 1-year-old sweetheart with a heart as big as her purrs. Ivy is as sweet as pie and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. After lovingly raising her three kittens like the devoted, gentle mama she is, Ivy is finally ready for a home where she can be the one getting all the love and attention.She’s a social girl who adores other cats, would likely do well with a calm, cat-savvy dog, and is okay to try with kids of all ages thanks to her kind and easygoing nature. Ivy has a soft, nurturing spirit and is ready to bring that same warmth into her forever home. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion, Ivy is your girl.
