Story
I’m a sweet, well‑mannered kitty who loves all the fun cat things! I’m curious and enjoy finding secret hiding spots under beds or in closets. My favorite toys are balls and anything with bells inside—I even play fetch! I drink from my bowl but also enjoy fountains and water from the sink. When I hear the sound of ice from the refrigerator, I come running to bat at the pieces that fall! People‑watching from my window perch is a favorite pastime, and a soft folded blanket is the perfect nap spot. I’m affectionate, love cuddling, want to be wherever you, are and I have the softest, silkiest fur you've ever felt. I blend well with other cats and have experience with children. Could I be your perfect companion? Here I am! Est. DOB: January 26, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

I’m a thoughtful, careful kind of cat. I may take a little time getting to know new people and places, but once I’ve settled in, I absolutely adore gentle attention, especially ear scratches, chin rubs, and even butt scritches (I do a great elevator butt!). Even when I’m feeling a bit shy, though, that doesn’t stop me from being quite the talker and chatting with you about anything at all! I can sometimes be easily startled, but that never stops me from exploring my world at my own pace, Two of my favorite things? Churus and wand toys! I’d likely get along with other laid‑back kitties in the home with slow introductions, but could be just as happy soaking up all your affection—and enjoying a lifetime of conversation! Est. DOB: September 16, 2020 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
I’m an adorable tabbico with the sweetest face and a gentle heart. I might be a little shy at first but overall am an outgoing and fairly confident kitty! I’m not big on being held, but I adore a cozy lap and pets. I might even greet you at the door, seeking out attention! Playtime is my favorite—I’m always front and center for tunnels, spring toys, wand toys, and laser lights (especially those last two!). I love playing with my siblings and would really like a kitty friend to keep me company in my new home. With my gentle nature, I’d also likely do just fine in a home with older kids. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion, I’m your girl! Est. DOB: August 13, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Hi there! Like the dark and spicy rum I’m named after, I add a little zest wherever I go! I’m super active and just love to play! Once those wands come out, I’m all over them chasing all about. Make sure you hold on tight, because if I catch it, I might run off with it! But don’t let my spicy namesake fool you, because I love to get, and to give, plenty of TLC! I’ll plop right down next to you for head pets and belly rubs. Sometimes I might even trade places with my sister for them! I’ve never met a dog, but I have met a few kids and was eager to meet them! I might be OK on my own, but a friend would be great (like my sister Goslings!). We were found just before Christmas and named after the rum our foster likes to add to his eggnog! So what do you say? I’d love to bring some spice into your life! Est. DOB: August 22, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
I’m a beautiful, fun-loving tabby who adores chasing the red laser light, batting at string toys, and lounging on cat trees in sunny spots. My purr is loud and happy, and my squeaky meows will make you smile. I have a playful habit of carrying fluffy toys in my mouth while I run around! When playtime is over, I’ll curl up in your lap and politely ask for pets and ear rubs. I’m affectionate, playful, and ready to be your new best friend! I haven’t been around kids yet, though I’d likely adjust well in a family setting. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who loves both playtime and snuggles, I can’t wait to meet you! Est. DOB: August 27, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

I’m a sweet, snuggly guy with a big heart and an even bigger purr! I love to be cuddled and brushed and am quick to purr when you pick me up. When I’m not soaking up the love, I’m all about playtime! Wand toys (my fuzzy wiggle worm is irresistible!), laser dots, and anything that rolls or makes noise are my favorites. I also go wild for uncommonly good handmade Alley Cats & Angels catnip kickers! But I’m not just a solo act. I love playing chase and wrestling with my kitty friends. I’d do best in a home with another high-energy kitty who enjoys a good tumble as much as I do. I’m a great eater too—wet food or kibble, I’m not picky. Let’s be best buds! Est.
