Story
Hi, my name is Ignacio Daniel, I am 9 months old My parents adopted me from a house where a woman found us in the street. They say I was born on August 15, 2025. I like to play hide-and-seek. I like to eat and sleep, I'm curious; when my parents come home from shopping, I have to inspect what they bought. I get along well with my older brother, Bugsy, an English Bulldog. I'm up to date on my vaccinations and I'm also neutered.

Story
Copper is a sweet boy, he loves attention and loves cuddling. He’s also very playful with his toys and runs in his tunnel. Despite growing up with cats, it seems I developed a cat allergy later in life, and it’s been a struggle since I brought him in. I wouldn’t be rehoming him if this wasn’t the case, he’s a very lovable cat and I hope you get to meet him! He comes with his tower, toys, and tunnel if you want them, and whatever food I have remaining at the time

Sweet big baby I’m fostering right now who needs a home! He loves this pink blanket and will suck on it and make biscuits. He’s very sweet and loves being pet but is also independent and likes to do his own thing. He is great with other cats and loves to play! His owner moved and I took him in to help him find a home.

Story
Meet Poppins – The Sweetest Gentleman in Black Poppins is a sleek, one-year-old black cat with a heart as soft as his fur. At first, he might hang back and watch from a safe spot, but it doesn’t take long before he’s flopping onto his back for belly rubs or batting at toys with playful charm. The best part? He never plays rough—Poppins is all about gentle fun and sweet companionship. Once he feels at home, this boy becomes a true lovebug. He’ll crawl all over you, purring away, just to be close. He’s happiest when he’s with his people, whether that means snuggles on the couch, joining in playtime, or politely reminding you it’s snack o’clock. Speaking of—Poppins adores treats, snacks, catnip, and has a special friendship with wet food. Poppins appreciates the company of other cats and would enjoy a feline friend, but it isn’t a must if his humans can give him plenty of love and attention. He’d do best in a calmer household where he can blossom at his own pace, though it doesn’t have to be completely quiet. If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal, loving companion who just wants to be by your side, Poppins is ready to make your home his forever. 💕 Adoption details: 1 year old, neutered, healthy, and patiently waiting for his person.

Story
Meet: Uncle Jim Biscuit; a roughly 2 year old domestic medium-haired cat that would thrive with an experienced cat owner in a hybrid indoor/outdoor environment. He found his way to us late October 2025 and over the following weeks got a full tune up- vet exam with Leukemia/FIV testing (negative/negative) and core vaccinations, fecal sample, de-wormed, flea & tick removal, neutered, and chipped. A regular diet has allowed him to gain 2-3 lbs since transitioning indoor. Uncle Jim is EXTREMELY affectionate. He loves snuggling up with you and will cuddle for hours! Move cautiously and he will also allow you to pick him up. He loves to play and always has an appetite for treats. He will sing to you as you prepare his dinner. He is not the best climber/jumper - much more of a “ground cat” versus “tree cat”. Quite clunky. But so cute. We’ve had zero issues with him scratching our furniture. PLEASE NOTE: While he’s adjusted to our first cat very well and plays often with him, we believe uncle Jim may thrive more in a single cat home. Being an outdoor cat for however long he was, he has a strong habit of marking. This improved immensely when he was neutered but unfortunately he is still marking around our home. While it’s significantly reduced over time and the spots are small, despite our best efforts it is not something we have been successful at correcting and feel he’s missing his outside world. We also have not been successful at trimming his nails. He’s gotten better at letting us manipulate his paws but it’s a very long, slow road ahead. The vet noted he had a slight heart murmur and rated it a “2/6”. ***UNCLE JIM BISCUIT IS WITH HIS FINDERS IN WILLOWICK,OHIO. His potential adopters will be screened by someone from the rescue, after the approval process you will be put in touch with his finders to schedule a meet and greet in order to adopt. While this is a courtesy posting for the finders, any adopter will always be able to reach back out to the finders or rescue member they speak with for any help- including the return of Uncle Jim Biscuit (if unfortunately necessary). His adoption fee is $75. LINK TO ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://form.jotform.com/242326102430137
