Story
Mr. Morris is a sweet and funny cat. We believe him to be about 7 years old as of his birthday this past March first. He loves to sit next to you on the couch or lay near your feet when you sleep. He loves to play. He runs through cat tunnels and he used to walk with me outside and stay close by my side. He is an indoor only cat though, except for some walks outside or sitting on the porch, but he hasn't been out much since we moved. He is a good buddy to have at home. We have two toddlers at home and he does ok with them, but he would probably be happiest with middle school children or kids that know how to play with him. We would give you a cat carrier for him. We do want to make sure he goes to a loving home. We havent been able to afford his one year vet visit. He will need his one year rabies vaccine when he goes.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Playful cutie!Who doesn't love a scoop or two of ice cream? Scoop, along with her brother Chip and sisters Fudge and Swirl, are a delightful litter of kittens! Scoop has taken the big sister role of the litter. She was initially a bit more cautious than her littermates but is always right there with them as they play and explore the house. Scoop and Swirl are the first to come running for canned food twice daily when they hear "Kittens, time to eat!" Scoop is quick to turn on her purr box when picked up. She does not like to be carried around yet but that will likely improve as she grows older. Scoop is respectable of adult cats and learning about cat friendly dogs. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and tested negative for FeLV/FIV. At her young age, Scoop will need to be adopted with a litter mate or have a very young kitty in the home. Please apply to meet her today.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 22, 2026, 10:55 am

Story
[Adoption fee includes accessories for cat listed below. If they are not needed, I will take $90 off of the adoption fee.]Nebula is a little over a year old (birthday 2/22/25) and is a super sweet and outgoing kitty! She loves to be pet and she is very playful. She also loves cuddles and chasing her favorite wand toys. She will do anything for a treat, be it greenies or temptations, and likes to always be near you.Unfortunately, since losing my job, I will need to move back in with my parents. They are not super fond of cats and so it is with a heavy heart that I will need to re-home her. She does not have any behavioral issues, no aggression or fearfulness and she will be a great addition to any loving home!Accessories include: 5 months worth of revolution feline flea prevention (to be applied on her back once a month on the 15th), toys, litterbox and litter, litter genie, cat tree, food bowls and food, scratching posts, a cat bed, and chewing sticks.

Story
This is Tiger. He is a purebred Bengal cat. He is also 15 years old but still in great health and acts like a kitten. For his age he still plays and explores all day long. He does adventure outside occasionally but he normally walks our yard and comes back in. With moving coming up we are unable to take him with us as well as my husband has become slightly allergic to him. We have dogs and have had other foster cats that he has done amazing with and never had any issues. We have a 4 year old and Tiger would let him do anything to him and never scratched or bit or anything. He’s the most laid back cat we have ever had.
