Story
Clover is a 19 week old kitten (as of September 14, 2026). She is a very adventurous and playful kitten but also has a shy side.She was born feral but fostered as of June 16, 2026. She greatly enjoys playing with the feather wand and chasing toys. She especially loves to play and snuggle with her brother Mud. Because of this, I am prioritizing houses that can take both kittens. She is litter box trained and does not make a mess with food or water. Clover is becoming more welcoming of human touch and is especially so when food is involved. She is very food-motivated and has been trained. She absolutely has the capacity to be a wonderful house companion.

Story
Ripley is a very loving Cat and one of the best pets I’ve ever had. I got him when he was very small and very recently. It’s just been getting harder to financially take care of myself and him and his brother Bishop. He is great with children he’s shy with new people, but once he comes around, he’ll be your best friend wherever you go. He loves physical play and chasing string and he’s very vocal when he wants love.

Story
Meet Chicago “Chago”! 🐱❤️ Chago is a sweet 9-year-old boy weighing about 15 lbs. He loves relaxing, sleeping in bed with his people, cuddling, and letting you know when he’s ready for food! He can be nervous around new people and is slow to warm up, but he is not aggressive or harmful. Once he trusts you, he is full of love and cuddles. Chago has diabetes and needs an insulin injection twice a day after breakfast and dinner. He also has an ongoing issue with urinating and defecating outside his litter box, which is the main reason we have made the very difficult decision to rehome him. We want to be completely honest so he can find someone prepared to be patient and work with him. Chago needs a loving, patient person or family who will give him attention when he wants it, space when he needs it, and continue giving him the care he deserves. ❤️🐾

She especially loves to play and snuggle with her sister Clover. Because of this, I am prioritizing houses that can take both kittens.She is litter box trained and does not make a mess with food or water. Mud is incredibly gentle and curious.

Story
We are looking for a new home for our 7-year-old cat Layla at no fault of her own. I developed a severe cat allergy after having my daughter. Special allergen cat foods, Pacagen, and allergy shots have not helped unfortunately. Layla is an incredibly affectionate cat who would do best in a home without other pets or young children. She will need a home that is willing to give her space and allow her to "come to you" when she feels like she can trust you. Once you earn her trust, she loves head scratches, laying in your lap, and playing. She would come with all things necessary to take care of her including a Catio window. This window is installed similar to a window AC unit, and it is her favorite place to hang out. Layla does great on her own, so an owner that travels frequently would be no problem. She is up-to-date on all vet visits and vaccines.
