Story
This beautiful young cat came to me when he was very small. He had a previous owner, but I wanted to take care of him and give him love. Sadly, due to changes in my life and an upcoming move, I can’t keep him, even though it breaks my heart. I just want him to find a home where he will be loved and cared for. He’s a sweet, calm, and curious cat who deserves a family that will make him happy. I know that with love, he will adjust and start a new, happy chapter in his life.

Story
Zola was a stray kitten found at 10 weeks old. She is now an indoor cat for all her 5 years of life. She is unique as she as symmetrical polydactyl front paws. She is shy around strangers and hides under furniture until she feels comfortable to come check out the new humans. Is kitty litter trained and loves fish flavored food. She can be very cuddly or very stand off ish. It depends on the day. She has never had her claws cut down but she keeps them trim on her scratching post. HATES water so baths are hard to come by. Visible shedding when she is stressed or scared or excited. She is super chill but does not like being in a room alone if she knows you are home. She will follow you around but not be on top of you per say. She is a little chunky but as cute as ever.

Story
Meet Our Sweet Girl Chai! Looking for a Loving Forever Home Born May 27, 2023, this beautiful girl is one of the sweetest, most affectionate cats you’ll ever meet. She has a gentle soul and a big heart, and she absolutely loves being close to her people. Snuggles, hugs, scratches she’ll happily soak up all the love you can give. She’s very playful, curious, and full of personality, yet also incredibly well-behaved and easygoing in the home. She’s wonderful with kids, patient and gentle, and she truly enjoys being part of family life. Letting her go is heartbreaking for me, but due to recent life changes, I want to make sure she finds a home where she can get all the time, attention, and affection she deserves. She will make an amazing companion for any loving family or individual. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, cuddly cat who will bring joy into your home every single day, she’s the perfect one. 💛

Story
Two orange cats, Persik ( on the rug) and a kitten (playing outside) decided to adopt me. They came to me, one evening when i was returning home and asked for food and shelter. I started to feed them and bought for them shelter with heating pad. Today temperature dropped and i let them into the house. i can't leave them out in 19 degrees Fahrenheit. So, i set up a shelter for them in the hallway. Both of them are very friendly cats. Don't know how did they end up on the street. In the mean time my cat is going totally nuts. Hissing at them, fighting with me and trying to leave marks all over the house. Luckily my husband is travelling till January, so i need to find forever home for these orange wonders till he comes back and kick me out together with all 3 of my cats. So, please, help!!!!!!

Story
indoors only! Birthday: November 18, 2025 Age: 1 year old or 52 weeks old Weight: 8 lbs Loves: Sun shine, hair ties, and catnip This tiny beast is both peaceful and quiet. She is happiest when she is sleeping inside someone’s lap because above all else she values warmth and comfort. She is affectionate and plays a lot. Currently she is a single child and although typically silent, her love speaks volumes as she will grow to love any pet you have. If you don’t currently have one that just means she will have more love to give you, since she won’t have to share it. However, I doubt she’d mind because she will be content by either scenario. If she sounds like the purr-fect one for you, please apply, she’d be happy to find her forever home.

Story
My name is Mickey and I was born on 8/23/2022 outside of the house of my mom. I was rescued by her because my birth mom wasn’t able to feed me. I was fed by my mom with a bottle since I was 2 weeks old. I’m a nice personality kitty. I little bit skittish. I’m pretty lay down cat. I do not get into trouble with other cats. I mind my business. I’m quiet and nice. I’m trained on the litter robot (not afraid of it) and the litter box too. I have my nails trimmed regularly so I don’t scratch you. I’m trained not to bite while playing with my friends. Or my mom’s hand. I’m cleaned and protected from fleas and other diseases (Revolution Plus - medication. Kill fleas before they lay eggs, kill ticks for a full month, prevent heartworm disease and treat and control roundworms, hookworms and ear mites). I love to watch the outside world through the window. And I love to sleep of course by my mom’s feet. I would like a house where I can have peace of mind.
