Story
Meet Honey Honey is a 5-month-old brown and white tabby with the softest eyes and the sweetest soul. She’s still a little shy and can be a bit nervous in new situations, but underneath that timid exterior is a gentle kitten just waiting to blossom.Honey will need a patient home willing to give her the time, love, and reassurance she deserves. With soft voices, cozy cuddle time, and a little understanding, she’s sure to come out of her shell and show her true, loving personality. Watching her confidence grow will be such a rewarding experience.We’re not yet sure how Honey feels about dogs or other cats, but with slow, proper introductions, she should adjust just fine.If you’re looking for a tender-hearted kitten who just needs a little extra love to shine, Honey might be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Sunny Sunny is a 4-month-old orange and white tabby with a personality just as bright as her name. This sweet girl is pure sunshine wrapped in fur. She absolutely *lives* for cuddles and will happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give. If you sit down, expect Sunny to be right there, ready to snuggle in and purr her little heart out.Her spirit is warm, gentle, and full of light. She gets along well with dogs and would likely do just fine with another cat given a slow, proper introduction. Sunny is still a kitten, so she has that playful spark but at the end of the day, she’s all about being close to her people.If you’re looking for a soft, snuggly companion who will brighten your home every single day, Sunny is your girl.
