Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Tuesday! She is around 5 ½ years old, 13 lbs, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. Rescued as a feral kitten, Tuesday was raised in a home with dogs which was a stressful environment that wasn’t the right fit for her. Now with us, she’s enjoying the space she needs to decompress and show her true self. Quiet and observant, Tuesday loves lounging in her favorite spots and watching the world go by. She’s become much more curious since arriving and is gradually getting more comfortable around strangers. Independent by nature, she prefers doing her own thing and warms up slowly, especially to women. Tuesday isn’t demanding, but she will thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and secure, ideally as the only pet. If you’re looking for a low-key, gentle companion who appreciates affection on her terms, Tuesday could be the perfect match for you.

Story
Mr. Beaumont, or simply Beaumont once you earn his trust, is a quiet, independent gentleman who prefers to take things at his own pace. He needs a little time to warm up to new people and environments, but once trust is established, he settles in nicely. Beaumont enjoys having his own space and does not like being confined. He would do best in a home where he can roam freely and choose when he wants attention. Affection is appreciated on his terms, and he communicates clearly when he’s uncomfortable by soft-pawing. Food is the quickest way to Beaumont’s heart. He eats well, knows exactly when feeding time is, and is very food motivated, making treats a great way to build a bond with him. When he’s not enjoying a meal, you’ll often find him stretched out in a sunny spot or watching birds and squirrels from the window. Beaumont is quiet, clean, and fully litter trained. He would thrive in a calm home with a patient adopter who understands and respects a cat that values independence and gentle communication.

Story
Mackie may look like an intimidating little panther, but he’s truly just a scared, shy boy. Despite his fear, Mackie has never hissed, scratched, or bitten anyone. He has a timid nature, not a mean one. With patience and a soft approach, he allows head scratches and gentle pets, even if he’s still nervous. Mackie will need a quiet, calm home where he can decompress and feel safe. He may spend some time hiding at first, but as trust grows, his sweet and calm personality will begin to shine.

Story
I got Harley from neighbors that found her abandoned under a shed crying. Her age was difficult to determine when found but I’ve taken care of her since Halloween 2024. I want Harley to have a loving home with a loving family. Harley is very goofy, less verbal, independent, chill, clingy at night, and a wanderer.

Story
I am in urgent need of help. Three months ago, I found this sweet girl in a McDonald’s parking lot on a rainy afternoon. She was soaked and just sitting there with the gentlest face. I couldn’t leave her, so I brought her home. I’ve looked for an owner, but she wasn’t microchipped or spayed, and no one has come forward. Since then, I’ve been fostering her. I’m a teacher and already have one cat, and while I would love to keep her, I simply can’t afford the $500 pet deposit for another pet right now. She is incredibly affectionate she loves to cuddle and make biscuits, and she’s very food motivated. She does great with other cats and would do well with kids or someone who can give her lots of attention. I just want her to find a safe, loving home where she can get all the care and affection she deserves. I’ve already paid for all her current expenses but i genuinely don’t care about getting all my money back I just want her well taken care of.
