Story
Benjamin, Benny, is about 8 years old. I originally adopted him from the animal shelter and welcomed him into our home. He was very sweet and cuddly, but I believe his behavior changed when we moved residences and was separated from another cat. We thought the behavior would improve when we got a dog, but it did not. We now have a young child, and his behavior while majority of the time he is calm, almost distant, it is unpredictable. We can no longer chance his behavior around our child. I believe he will thrive in another home with other cats. He is not aggressive towards dogs, as he currently lives with one now. I really do not want to surrender him to the shelter or humane society. I would much rather find a home he will be loved for the remainder of his life. I will give all of his supplies, litter box, food, bowls, etc.

Story
Baby was a kitten when he ran thru my yard 2 1/2 years ago and I have been feeding him since.. He is right eye vision impaired. FOF trapped, neutered, vaccinated for rabies, clipped his ear & returned him to me Jan 21, 2025. About a month ago, I saw a fresh wound on the top of his tail that progressive worsened. I took him to vet and they amputated the end of his tail, updated his rabies vaccine. He tested negative for feline leukemia so I have to wait till December 13th to have the tail sutures removed and receive the 1st feline leukemia vaccine & the booster following. My issue is I have a 15 year old cat that refuses to associate with Baby. Baby has lived on my covered front porch & he would to live indoors. He is so sweet, loving, quiet and longs to be a lap cat. I would keep him if I didn't have my territorial female cat. Baby uses the bathroom outside but used a cat box during his post op stay at the vet. I have cat beds, carrier etc. for Baby.

Story
Little Gray is 10 weeks old as of this post, born Oct 2, one of a litter of 4 that our neighborhood stray, Tasha, had in a nearby open crawlspace of a house under construction. We tried to find them after they were born but Tasha kept giving us the slip! We found them at week 6 and captured them week 7. They have been in my office with their momma for 2 weeks and have spent the last there without mom (who was spayed) getting used to more solid food and holding by people. Little Gray makes the sweetest peeping murmurs when held and today gave me a nice strong purr! She is curious and sweet and will melt any heart. Looking to get her into her forever home before Christmas. Please come and see this darling fur baby and consider bringing her home for the holidays!

Story
Hello! My name is Emmeline. I am a petite, 8 lb, brown tabby cat looking for a forever home. I am an INDOOR kitty!! I am extremely sweet, affectionate with my favorite person, but very wary of strangers. I love to scratch on my cat scratch pad and love the cubby and hammock in my kitty condo. I also enjoy playing with my toy mice and cuddling with my favorite person. My current owner has developed severe allergies to me and as much as rehoming me breaks both of our hearts, we need to find a new home for me. I would do best in a home without dogs, small children, or other cats. I prefer a quiet home or a home with an adult person. Please find a place in your heart and home for me.

Little Stripey is 10 weeks old, born Oct 2, one of a litter of 4 that our neighborhood stray, Tasha, had in a nearby open crawlspace of a house under construction. We tried to find them after they were born but Tasha kept giving us the slip! We found the kittens at week 6 and captured them week 7. They stayed in my office with their momma for the next 2 weeks. Tasha has since been spayed and is no longer staying in the same room, as she recovers and they get accustomed to eating all solid food. Everyone seems fine with the arrangement. Two of Stripey's sisters have been adopted. He and his Little Gray sister are still waiting for their forever homes. Little Stripey is the sole male of the litter, and is growing in size and lovability each day. He has a GRRREAT purr! Looking to get kittens into forever homes before Christmas. Please come see these beautiful babies and consider bringing a furry friend home for the holidays!
