Story
Updated 5/31/26 Meet Bash (aka Bashy, formerly Bashful) 🤍 From shy beginnings to a glow-up worth bragging about… Bash is ready for his next chapter. Around 1.5–2 years old, this buff and white beauty has spent nearly a year in foster learning that the world isn’t so scary. And wow — has he blossomed. Once a short-haired boy, Bash now sports a soft, flowing coat and a tail like a feather duster, thanks to time, care, and a whole lot of TLC. 🌿 Timid with new people, startles easily 💕 Loves head pets from those he trusts 🛏 Not a lap cat… yet 👀 Recently upgraded to “bed companion” status (sometimes even when the humans are in it!) ✨ Stunning medium-to-long coat with a majestic glow-up Bash is still building confidence, but he’s making quiet, meaningful progress every day. He’s the kind of cat who will form a deep bond with his person — the slow, rewarding kind that means everything. After nearly a year in foster, Bash is more than ready for a forever home to call his own. If you believe in patience, growth, and the magic of a shy cat coming out of his shell… Bashy is waiting for you. 🐾 Adoption fee $25 Neutered, utd on 1-yr rabies, fvrcp vaccine and flea & tick prevention

Story
Cirrus is one of the Empyrean siblings ; these precious babies were found in a woodpile at 4 wks of age, and miraculously survived Parvo with lots of love and attention. They are now healthy, testing negative, have received first vaccines, and are ready for their forever homes. Cirrus has the cutest pink now and gray goatee ! He is so loving, loves to be held, but also loves to run and play with his siblings. We prefer them to be adopted in pairs when this small, unless adopter already has young playmates. $320 per pair, which will include spay and neuter thru our vet, or a $100 credit for each kitten to your vet of choice for spay/neuter on your own. Please get your apps in for these babies!!

Story
Rusty was born with his siblings, Puff Puff and Flash, to an abandoned momma. A Good Samaritan took them in and allowed them to thrive. Now these precious young ones are looking for their forever homes. They would love to go together if possible but would be ok apart. He is gentle, sweet, but a little shy in the beginning, especially with new people. He will need patience but comes around with time. He loves to rub on you and talk to you!! He is well worth the wait.
