Story

Hello this is Cornelious and his original owner died about 2 months ago. I am currently fostering him to help the family out because the owner’s spouse no longer wanted him after she passed. He has currently been with me for about 2 weeks and is having a hard time adjusting in a new place. I have four other cats and can not keep him but I do believe he needs to be in a home with no other pets. I was close to his original owner and that is why I am trying to find him a good home because I know how much she loved him. He can be sweet but also needs time to adjust and feel safe.

Story

Meet Itzae — The Snuggle Bug who is looking for a Forever Heart! Approximately 3 months old • Litter box trained • Wonderful with kids, cats, dogs, and everyone she meets. Sweet Itzae is a tiny little soul with the biggest heart. At only about 3 months old, this precious kitten has already known what it feels like to be left behind—she was found dumped at a Burger King, confused and needing someone to care. But somehow, Itzae has held onto every bit of sweetness inside her. She is playful, gentle, affectionate, and full of trust, as if she has been waiting her whole life for the person who will finally choose her. Itzae is truly a little snuggle bug. She loves people, adores other cats, does beautifully with dogs, and is super good with kids. She is litter box trained, full of kitten joy, and ready to bring laughter, comfort, and love into a home that will never let her feel unwanted again. If you have room in your heart and home for a kitten who only wants to love and be loved, please consider adopting Itzae. She doesn’t need much—just safety, kindness, warm arms to curl into, and a forever family who will see her for what she is: a beautiful little life worth cherishing.

Story

Meet Calimar — The Celestial Calico! Some cats simply enter your life... and some feel like they were sent from the stars. Meet Calimar, a beautiful 2-year-old calico girl who is ready to find the family she was always meant to have. With her gorgeous coloring, playful spirit, and heart full of love, Calimar is truly a little celestial treasure. Calimar is an energetic, happy girl who loves to play! Give her some toys and a cat tower, and she'll happily hop, climb, pounce, and entertain herself. But when playtime is over, she's just as ready to share her sweet and loving side with her people. She is fully vetted, spayed, and litter trained, so she's ready to leave her rescue days behind and begin her next chapter in a forever home. All this special girl needs now is someone to love her, play with her, and promise her that she's home for good. Calimar is currently being fostered in Puerto Rico but here's an extra bit of magic: her adoption fee includes transportation to anywhere in the mainland United States! Her forever family could be closer than they ever imagined. Could you be the person Calimar has been waiting for?

Story

Leah was a homeless kitten we believe was abandoned. She was estimated to have been born September 19th 2023 and is almost three years old now. She's sassy and can be a little spicy but only when she sets her own boundaries. She's truly sweet and loving keeping a distance at times but when she wants pets she will jump up on top of you. She's addicted to treats (Human error). I'm looking for anyone who is able to give her a loving forever home, someone who knows about cats and can understand her and love her.
