Story
Meet Ears: a long-haired princess with a flair for the dramatic, a suspicious relationship with hairbrushes, and a firm belief that indoor life was made just for her.Rescued from the cold as a street kitten, she was the first of her litter to decide she was absolutely done with outdoor life. Since then, she’s blossomed into an elegant, mysterious little lady: equal parts aloof model and low-key cuddlebug (on her terms). The vibe: 👑 I woke up like this. 🎭 A charming little diva with admire meenergy. 🧺 Eats first, naps like it’s a job, bosses around other cats (for food). Her details: ~2.5 years old, spayed, indoor-only Litter-trained Best as an only cat or with a very chill cat Dog-tolerant Not a fan of brushing unless bribed Shes currently staying with parents, but theyre not cat people & she deserves a forever home where she can settle and be loved for exactly who she is. If you want glamour, heart, and a cat who will own the room and your soul - Ears is your girl

Story
My partner and I brought Eloise and Kit in from the street in Nov 2023 because we couldn't bear to leave them in the cold. We meant to foster them, get them fixed, and rehome them... but they ended up staying. They lived with me until January, then with my partner while I moved overseas. When my partner couldn't care for them in June, they moved in with my parents. This isnt sustainable, and with the state of things at home, I don't see myself being able to return soon. It isn't fair to keep moving them. They need a calm, stable home. After spending their first 7 months outside, they're timid at first but very sweet and affectionate once settled. Kit (tabby) has some anxiety that improved with Feliway + attract litter. She loves suckling a blankie, following you to the bathroom, and cuddling your feet. Eloise (tuxedo) is playful but chill, and loves wand toys. They've done well with dogs but prefer not to compete with other cats. They'll thrive with patient, cat-loving humans

Story
We found Bomb outside our house one night. We made sure he was not chipped and checked with all our neighbors, who shared that they had seen him outside the neighborhood for awhile. He’s been so very sweet and affectionate, we got him checked out, fixed, vaccinated, and he is negative for FIV and FeLV, so he is safe to be around other cats. I adore him, he is such a sweet baby and I would love nothing more than to keep him myself but I have so many cats already and don’t know if I could take another one. The vet aged him at 1 year and he looks healthy!! Just trying to find a really good and loving home for him, he deserves it

Story
Millie has been in foster care for a while now. She is 4 years old and very sweet. We havent been able to test her with dogs or cats but with slow proper introductions we believe she will get along. She is owner surrendered and is in foster care right now. We havent had any behaviour problems with her and she is litterbox trained. If you are interested in adoption please fill out the Adopt A Pet application and we will be in touch. We can give you more history on this sweet little girl at that time.

Story
Buds is an easy and endearing cat to care for. He is ~9 years old, sweet, happy, and affectionate. He loves to bond with gentle and kind adults, but he keeps his distance from our two year old son. He has never been aggressive toward children, even when provoked repeatedly. He simply keeps his distance. He prefers things to be calm and quiet. He likes attention and will often want to be close to us or sit on our lap. Buds is a great house cat for anyone looking for a loyal companion. Before welcoming Buds to your home, you will want to make sure you put away plastic bags laying out, because he has a bad tendency to chew on plastic bags, wrappers, etc. We keep our house pretty free from plastic, but if he does eat some plastic he typically throws up that day. Accidents can be kept to a minimum if plastic is avoided and the typical "sensitive stomach" variety of cat food is purchased (same price as normal). Otherwise Buds has a great health record!
