Story
Meet Alfredo (Alfie)! 🐾 6yrs old It breaks my heart to be writing this, but due to an upcoming move to a home that doesn’t allow pets, I’m looking for the perfect forever home for Alfredo. Alfredo is a handsome, indoor-only cat with a sweet, gentle personality. He’s the kind of cat who enjoys affection—but on his own terms. Once he trusts you, he loves being scratched under his neck and will happily soak up the attention. He especially loves fish toys, treats, and being brushed, which is one of his favorite ways to bond. Like many cats, Alfredo has a few boundaries. He does not enjoy having his paws touched or his nails trimmed, so he’ll do best with someone who understands and respects feline body language and is willing to work with him patiently. I’m looking for someone who will love him for exactly who he is and give him the safe, stable home he deserves. This decision has been incredibly difficult, and finding the right family is my top priority.

Story
Hi, I'm a beautiful 4-year-old girl looking for a patient, understanding person to call my own. I'm still learning that humans can be trusted, so I'm continuing to be socialized and make progress every day. I may not be the cuddly, lap-cat type right now, but that doesn't mean I don't have so much love and personality to share. I simply need someone who will let me move at my own pace and celebrate the little milestones with me. One thing I do love? Playing with my favorite toys! Whether I'm chasing, batting, or pouncing, playtime is where my fun-loving side really shines. I'd do best as the only cat in the home, where I can feel safe, secure, and have all the attention to myself. A quiet home with someone who understands that trust takes time would be my ideal match. If you're willing to give me patience, kindness, and the chance to blossom, I think you'll find that watching me grow into a confident companion is incredibly rewarding. I'm hoping to find the person who's perfect for me.

Story
I found this little guy on the sidewalk soaking wet after a recent big storm. He was in critical condition when I took him to the animal hospital. It only took a few hours of warmth and care to bring out a very sweet and loving kitten. He loves to play and snuggle and is constantly purring. Definitely the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. His arms were shaved from the animal hospital (to explain the bald patches.) He still needs his shots and doesn’t weigh enough to be spayed yet.

Meet Shadow! 🖤🐾 Shadow is a 3-year-old indoor-only cat with a sweet, loving personality. Due to an upcoming move to a home that doesn’t allow pets, I’m looking for the perfect forever home for him. Shadow is incredibly friendly and affectionate. He loves to snuggle, enjoys being picked up, and is perfectly content being carried around like a baby—especially by my kids, whom he adores. He can be a little timid around loud noises or new visitors and will usually hide until he feels comfortable, but once he warms up, he’s a wonderful companion. He loves to climb and explore—we joke that he’s part Spider-Man! He also enjoys playing with his toys and spending time with his people. Loves his occasional zoomies, and a good treat!

Hello, I found this little guy at my back door looking for his forever family. He is a stray and must of found his way to my back yard because of my 6 other cats. He's such a sweet little guy and purrs when he eats and takes the 2 step while eating. He has all his shots, dewormed and de flea'd and the vet believes he is 8 to 10 weeks old. He loves my family of cats and seems to want this family unit. I'm not able to take on another cat and need to find him a loving home to grow up in. I've named him Tigger and he seems to acknowledge it already. Please help tigger find a loving home. thank you!
