Story
Mandy is a total sweetheart! At just 7 months old, she's still a bit shy at first but is loving her snuggly indoor life. Lucky for her, she won't have to spend a brutal winter as a stray, but now she is looking for her furever home. She is spayed, healthy and vaccinated. And the best part is that she'd do well in a house with another cat or solo, making her the purrfect companion.

Story
Trudy is an extravagantly friendly, petite 6-pound cat, with extraordinary pale green eyes, who adores humans and will jump into your lap before you even finish sitting down. She's energetic and wants lots of attention. She would do fine as an only pet, but could also be paired with another friendly cat.

Story
DOB: 12/01/23   Picatso is a very handsome male kitty with a heart to match his big, fluffy frame. This guy is friendly, affectionate, and absolutely loves attention. He’s happiest when he’s being admired, petted, or keeping you company.    Picatso would prefer a home without dogs, but he’s perfectly fine living with friendly cats who respect his space.    With his luxurious fur and gentle personality, he’s ready to start the new year in a loving furever home of his own! This cat has been combo-tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, received all age-appropriate vaccinations and is altered.  January 1, 2026, 4:26 pm

Story
DOB: 09/07/24Marli checks all the boxes to be a perfect cat. She is very social and affectionate, rubs and purrs constantly, and enjoys meeting new people. She has been around multiple dogs of all breeds and ages, other cats, kittens, and a rabbit and has co-existed peacefully with everyone. She mostly ignores the other animals in her foster home.    After recently retiring from her mom duties, Marli has started to discover her playful side. She races up and down the hall with toys, and even sometimes sleeps with her fuzzy mouse toy. She is a great companion, and also enjoys alone time looking out the window or sleeping on her foster mom's bed during the day.    Apply to adopt Marli today! This cat has been combo-tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, received all age-appropriate vaccinations and is altered.  January 1, 2026, 4:26 pm

Story
My foster writes: Fay is the kind of cat who is ready to give and receive love. She has really come out of her shell while in foster care, and it's been amazing to watch her confidence grow each day. Fay is a gentle girl who uses the litter box well and happily eats both dry and wet food.Fay would do best in a quiet, calm home with someone who understands shy cats and is willing to let her settle in at her own pace. She quickly became comfortable, and she shows her affection by leaning in for pets and sweetly rubbing against you.She enjoys watching the world from a window and prefers lounging on flat surfaces nearby. While she isn't very interested in typical cat toys, she does like to chase things you toss for her. Fay is a calm, loving companion who truly enjoys gentle attention and peaceful company.What my friends at ACC say about me:I have lived with cats in my previous home.I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 7.9 Age: 1yrs 7mths 3wks
