Story
Layla is a spayed beautiful, short-haired black cat, born on approximately 5-1-2020. She has gorgeous amber eyes. We don't know her history, but she found herself at a local hotel as a non-paying guest and never met a stranger. She would jump in anyone's lap; and every chance she got, she would find a spot in the hotel and fall asleep.   She would make a wonderful lap cat and would probably sit there all day.  She does get along with other cats, but we don't know about dogs.  Layla is very sweet and wants to be a lap cat. She is an ideal cat for an older person or someone just wanting a sweet companion.  She's looking for her forever home. Indoor cat only!  The adoption fee is $25. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application.

Story
Goldie is a gorgeous medium-haired yellow tabby girl born in November 2024.  She was born to a feral momma and was trapped, spayed and taken into rescue in March 2025.  She is extremely shy and not a lap cat (yet!) but loves other cats. Goldie is learning that a hand can mean love, not fear.  Her foster mom can pick her up, but Goldie lets you know when it is time to be put down.  She would thrive in a quiet home with someone who understands the beauty of going slow.  She will need lots of patience and space to blossom on her own timeline.  Maybe a feline friend can show her the ropes.  Indoor cat only! The adoption fee is $25. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application.

Story
Wink is a spayed female black and white cat born June 1, 2023. As you might have guessed from my name, I’m a little extra special—I only have one eye! I recently had to have it removed due to an injury, but don’t worry—it hasn’t dimmed my spirit one bit. Because of my new look, my foster mom says I’ll need to stay indoors from now on. Honestly? I’m loving indoor life! I have a cozy bed to nap in, regular meals (on command, no less!), and even a sweet resident dog who gives me all the attention I could ask for. I’ll be honest—I’m a bit shy at first. But with a little patience and kindness, I’ll slowly start to show you just how much love I have to give. My past life as a stray means I do best in a calm, quiet home where I can feel safe and adjust at my own pace. If you're looking for a sweet, soulful companion who just needs a little time to shine, I might be the perfect match for you. Indoor cat only! The adoption fee is $25. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application.
