Story
Meet this sweet buff orange boy... 💛 Left behind and forgotten, he somehow never lost his gentle heart. Despite being abandoned, he’s full of trust, quiet affection, and that soft, hopeful look that melts you on the spot. He loves cozy naps, kind voices, and being near his people—just happy to finally feel safe. This tender boy is ready for a fresh start and a forever home where he’ll never be left behind again. He is FIV+ -- he can live with others as long as they also are kind to other kitties:) He has a $100 adoption fee.🐾

Story
I adopted Yuumi in December 2020 at 6 months old. She admittedly is a difficult cat (does not do well with other animals/young children/new people), but when she gets used to a new person, good luck getting rid of her. She is very cuddly, very sweet, and is happy to see you after a long day. She loves to play fetch with string (she will bring it back to you if you're patient) and enjoys chasing a laser until she out of breath. I am looking to have her go to a home where she will be the only pet (dog/cat) and ideally is able to roam the house freely. I currently have to have her segmented in the house as she does not get along with the 2 other cats that moved in with my girlfriend. I would also like the peace of mind knowing that she would never be put in a shelter that would euthanize her. Age: Almost 7 years (Born sometime in summer 2019) Medical: No known issues. Fully vaccinated and spayed. Shes a weirdo, but you will grow to love her.

Story
Daisy has been with us for 6 years, since she was a kitten. We love her so much and we are devastated to look for a new home for her, but we are moving and not able to take her. Daisy is very loving and sweet but she takes time to warm up to new people! She tends to be a bit anxious around strangers but will become attached and loving to you quickly I’m sure. She does have her claws but she has never ever scratched us or our toddler- she is never aggressive. She is very vocal and meows a lot when she wants attention or is playing, which is very cute and entertaining to us but something to be aware of for her new owner, it may not be for everyone. We think she would be best in a home without a lot of kids or other pets.

Story
Meet Rigby! I found this little guy as a stray kitten a couple months ago. He’s still a baby and we think he’s around 6 months old. He has been fixed, had his first round of rabies shots and is perfect at using the litter box. He is used to being around other cats and is great with them but has never been around dogs! He is super playful and loves cuddling and laying around too. Looking for a loving home who will play with him and give him lots of love.
