Story
Calor is bringin' the heat and he is sure to warm your heart! Calor is a sweet adult cat who is about a year old and is friendly towards people once he has had the chance to warm up a bit and get to know you! Calor does tend to be shy at first and may need a longer period to adjust than some cats might. Calor likes to lounge around or get pets from his people and he will approach people for attention once he is adjusted! He is good with other kittens, cats, and dogs! Calor is a large, handsome, orange tabby cat who likes to curl up and take naps! Calor has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped! He was eartipped at his time of neutering due to the fact that he was a part of a TNR project.

Story
Suzy has been with us since January of 2022 so a little over 3 YEARS now! She is brave, independent, pretty, and strong. She was initially found outside trapped under somebody's deck during a major snowstorm, snowed in, and freezing with some frostbite on her nose! Poor Suzy was pretty emaciated when she was found but quickly gained weight and she has now become a healthy and pretty young lady with absolutely STUNNING golden-copper eyes! We just LOVE her very unique and gorgeous eye color and her pretty coat! She is thought to be a middle-aged cat now. It is important to note that Suzy would definitely prefer a home without any other cats but is fine with cat-friendly dogs that are willing to give her some space! Suzy would also be fine as an only pet! She has the typical sass of a tricolored female kitty and would do best with an experienced adopter. (It is very possible that she would be a lot different in personality in a real home without other cats.) We are not recommending a home with young children because she does scratch at times when she has had enough handling. She likes to be pet on the top of her head and tends to be a bit choosy with humans at times. Suzy has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped!

Story
ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN WAIVED IN AN ATTEMPT TO HELP OUR TABBY KITTENS AND CATS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES! Noble is a super SWEET young man who is still a young adult cat. He is great with other cats, kittens, and dogs and will cuddle up with other cats for a cat nap! If you give him an enrichment puzzle or toy, he is very inquisitive and will entertain himself! Noble has a pretty calm personality and is a low drama cat when living among other cats! He can often be found sitting on a windowsill watching the birds or hanging out by the couch! It may be important to note that he can be a little shy when meeting new people. This handsome guy is the cat's pajamas with his attractive tiger stripes and plentiful markings. He will make a great little companion for another cat! We are requiring that he go to a home where he will have another cat companion because he is usually always hanging out with other cats here. Noble will have been neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV/HW tested negative, and microchipped at his time of adoption!

Story
Meet Frodo, a brave little tuxedo hobbit undertaking a perilous quest to find his forever home! Frodo is a handsome male kitten from our Lord of the Rings Litter! He has a unique nose that is half pink and half black! He has very interesting copper-colored eyes! Sometimes life feels like we are embarking on a dangerous journey across Middle-earth... why not do it with some faithful hobbit companions??? Perhaps you would like to adopt 2 kittens?! (Ask about our 2 for the price of 1 deal!) We know Frodo will make a great little companion with some patience and acceptance! He is bound to be a little hero in time! Frodo is very food motivated and gets along well with his brothers as well as with other cats! He can be a little shy at first but currently enjoys playing and wrestling with his siblings and does well once he feels comfortable with you! Frodo came from a TNR location where he was exposed to a large, cat-friendly dog so he should do fine with dogs as long as he is given the appropriate amount of time to adjust. Frodo has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV/HW tested negative, and microchipped! He is ready for adoption on now!

Story
ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN WAIVED IN AN ATTEMPT TO HELP OUR TABBY KITTENS AND CATS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES! Rhythm was rescued from under a trailer in Tioga County, PA! He has very quickly become extremely sweet and friendly towards his current caretakers! Rhythm is a sweetheart who loves to purr and cuddle up with his people! THIS CAT LOVES PEOPLE but he is extremely scared when he meets new ones! (Stranger danger!) If he gets to know you, he will follow you around, lick your nose, try to climb up and sit on your shoulders, etc! The way to his heart is through offering him canned food as a treat! Rhythm likes to play and is always happy to see us coming! Rhythm is great with other cats and kittens and he would make a great companion for another kitten or cat! Rhythm would most likely be fine with calm dogs once given the appropriate amount of time to adjust. He is worried that he won't find a home very quickly because gray tabby cats and kittens tend to struggle to find homes but we told him not to worry about that one bit because he has a great little personality and someone is bound to love him for it! Rhythm has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV/HW tested negative, and microchipped! He is ready for adoption NOW!!!

Story
The Unknown Soldier came to us Memorial Day weekend of 2024, hence his name. He has a very handsome bright orange coat and he loves other cats! Soldier would make an excellent friend for another cat. (He does very well when meeting new cats and seems to enjoy meeting them!) The Unknown Soldier can be very shy at first but he is also very sweet and has become a lap sitter once he is comfortable with you! He likes if you calmly sit on the ground with him and he is a sensitive soul. This boy does tend to be a little dramatic and, due to his skittishness with new people, he will take some extra time to adjust and some extra patience. This boy is looking for a forever home where he will have another cat or kitten companion! (We are REQUIRING that he goes to a home where he will have another feline companion!) Calm dogs would most likely be fine and we are recommending a calm home without any young children for this cat as he tends to be sensitive and doesn't appreciate a lot of chaos or manhandling. Some other information to be aware of is that the Unknown Soldier did have a surgery while he was still a kitten for a condition that he had been born with called pectus excavatum. The surgery went great and the vet doesn't think it should impact him in his future in any way. (It has NOT seemed to impact him at all and we've had him for about 1 year now). Soldier seems to be totally normal now but we do want to make sure that people are aware of his past surgery as we cannot completely guarantee that there will never be any future implications at all for him. We want our adopters to be able to make informed choices! The Unknown Soldier has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV/HW tested negative, microchipped, and his pectus excavatum has been treated!
