Story
I rescued Chloe from a home being sold; the owners had abandoned her, and I don't know how long she was there alone. Chloe is a tiny, sweet, and loving cat who craves attention and loves to be petted, but she can be skittish. She gets along well with dogs and possibly other cats, though my calico isn't a fan. She's quiet; even her meow is soft and sweet. She loves her space and making biscuits. She is ready for her forever home to live her life to the fullest!

Story
I adopted Malcolm and her sister (they are not pair bonded) in 2018 when she was one year old. She is now 8 years old. I had a baby in August 2025 and Malcolm has not adjusted well to this. Her behavior has added extra stress to our plate and our frustration has surely stressed out Malcolm. She needs a home with no dogs and no small children. Before the baby was born, Malcolm was very cuddly and generally calm.

Story
Archer is a 3 year old male cat that was abandoned in our neighborhood and we took him in about 2 months ago! SUPER friendly towards people-purrs and shows his belly to any stranger. We have taken him to the vet and other than previously being underweight, he is happy and healthy. We also got him his rabies shot. Archie is in need of a home where he is the ONLY pet so he can be his silly goofy self! Loves treats, soft surfaces, and snuggles. Is NOT a fan of other cats, but we are unsure if he gets along with dogs!

Story
Im an immigrant that is leaving with her ex boyfriend and weve being having a lot of issues as a couple so he is kicking me out of the apartment. Salem is a sweet cat that we rescued last winter, she came to our door and she was at least 5 months old, we never had the financial opportunity to take her to the vet and we were always working so she spend many hours home alone. i was going to keep her even tho he doesnt like her, but he tried to kick me out several times with the cat, and this is the last time, i have to move to Texas cause thats the only place where i have people to stay but i cant take her with me. i love her with all my heart and this is one of the most hard things ive done since i left my home and my family to come here, so honestly from the bottom of my heart i need to make sure that my kitty is gonna be safe and loved and maybe some day i can visit her or call her on FaceTime.

Story
Daisy, a sweet 10-year-old cat, was brought into our home at the tender age of six weeks. Recently, we’ve moved, and the addition of our puppy a few years ago has made adjusting quite challenging. Despite these changes, Daisy remains a very kind and affectionate kitty. We’re seeking a calm and spacious environment where she can roam freely and easily access a litter box. She particularly enjoys head scratches and one-on-one attention.

Story
Meet Bonnie! She is an energetic, smart, and loving forever kitten who is looking for her forever home. She loves to play with her favorite mice and watch bird livestreams on the TV! She wants to keep you all to herself, so she needs to be a solo friend, but she's great with strangers and isn't shy about rolling over for belly rubs. Bonnie's favorite downtime activity is curling up under the blankets with you, so not only is she super cute she also acts as the world's softest space heater. She would be great for an owner of any experience level and would be great with kids. She's ready to find a new best friend for the holiday season.
