Story

Turbo is named for his energetic and playful energy. He’s extremely independent and adventurous (just in the backyard, he’s never run away from home).He is gorgeous and fun. He is a terrific climber. His favorite toy is a balled up piece of paper (which he can catch with his paws). His favorite snack is a cardboard box (and bacon, he LOVES bacon!) He does like being in the car.This boy will keep you entertained for hours.We rescued him from a local shelter as a kitten four years ago and he has been with us ever since.It is important for any potential adopters to note that Turbo does have some medical needs. In the past he suffered from Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) and he now has prescription food (Urinary SO).He also had a partial tail amputation and is currently on a strong prescription: Phenobarbital.He really deserves a home where he’ll have lots of interaction and playtime. At this time we’re just unable to provide that and keep up with all of his medical needs.

Story

Ollie (short for Olive) is 4 years old and a bit shy but very sweet. I adopted her as a stray kitten, but I am now a single parent to a 5 month old baby and I just don't have the capacity to give her the love and attention she needs. She is a bit skittish and takes time to warm up, but she loves her person and will want to be in your lap whenever she can. She's skittish around kids and dogs, but has been around them plenty and does ok. She is also a vocal cat and likes to meow for attention at times. She doesn't like to be picked up, but loves pets and will curl up in your lap or next to you. She doesn't have any major medical issues, though she did have some teeth removed due to infection (it doesn't impact her ability to eat at all). She's pretty chill but does like to have some energetic play sessions during the day. She's a very sweet girl and I'm very sad to have to give her up. She would love to be in a quiet home where she can get lots of love and attention.

Salem / Casper (Bonded Pair)

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

BONDED PAIR -- Must be adopted together. Applications for only one cat will not be considered. Salem came into my life unexpectedly about five years ago. She appeared outside my door when she was around six months old and stayed there for hours. When it became clear no one was coming for her, I took her in and brought her to the vet, where I discovered she was pregnant with two kittens. Casper was one of them. Salem is affectionate, playful, curious, and loves being in your lap. Casper is a little more shy, but incredibly sweet and happiest simply being near you. They have spent their entire lives together and are truly a bonded pair. Due to an upcoming relocation and change in living circumstances, I am looking for a loving, permanent home where they can stay together and continue to be cared for as family.

Story

Meet Lavender Haze 💜Lavender Haze is as beautiful as her name! This gorgeous gray girl is a total lovebug who adores people. She’s social, happy, playful, nurturing, and a true lap cat who will happily soak up all the cuddles and attention you have to offer.Lavender’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was found outdoors in very poor condition after doing her best to care for her babies. Sadly, her kittens didn’t survive, and Lavender needed emergency veterinary care for an infection, dehydration, and heat stroke. Today, she’s fully recovered and absolutely thriving. She’s discovered just how wonderful indoor life can be and loves the safety, comfort, and love of her foster home.She gets along great with other cats, cat-friendly dogs, and has done wonderfully with visiting children. Lavender would do best in a calm to moderately active home where she can be part of the family. If someone works from home or is home often, she’d be over the moon—she loves being close to her people.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Magnus is a 6-year-old spayed female cat with multi brown markings and long fur brought to the Humane Society as a kitten. She was adopted at about 6 weeks old from the Humane society by my sister, along with another kitten, Luna, of the same age. Magnus has been living with Luna ever since, first with my sister until she passed away, and then with me. She bonded with Luna as a kitten, and my sister was told not to separate them, so ideally, I prefer to keep them together in their next home, unless the right circumstances present themselves. Although my husband is allergic to the cats, he tried to make it work for some time, but it’s time to rehome them. Magnus likes to lounge on her back with all four paws in the air, or chase after a laser light. She will snuggle next to you on the couch and loves being pet or looking out the window at nature. She is less shy around new people than Luna but still may take time to adjust to new surroundings.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Comet must be adopted with his brother Astro, as they are a deeply bonded pair of 2-year-old littermates who thrive together. Comet is a gentle, affectionate tabby who can be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, he becomes incredibly cuddly and loves to be pet. He’s very talkative and will happily “chat” with you throughout the day, especially once he’s bonded with you. He also loves being held and will often settle right into your lap to be cradled, making him a really special companion for someone who enjoys a close, affectionate cat. Comet is an indoor cat, fully litter trained, and does best in a calm, patient environment where he can come out of his shell at his own pace. He has previously experienced urinary crystals, so he is currently on a urinary care diet to keep him healthy and happy. He’s a sweet, sensitive boy who will bring so much warmth and personality into the right home 🤍
