Story
Meet Rory – Your Future Snuggle Buddy 🧡 Rory is a sweet, affectionate orange girl whose favorite place in the world is curled up next to her favorite human. If you’re looking for a cat who will happily keep you company during movie nights, lazy weekends, or quiet evenings, Rory is your girl. This loving kitty has a gentle personality and a heart full of cuddles. She adores being petted and will gladly settle into your lap or tuck herself beside you for a cozy nap. Rory isn’t the type to demand the spotlight—she’s simply happiest when she’s close to someone who cares about her. Rory was born with a cataract in one eye, which means she can’t see out of that eye. The good news is that her vet says it shouldn’t cause her any problems, and she gets around just like any other cat. It’s simply a unique little feature that makes her extra special. Like many orange cats, Rory has a warm, friendly spirit and a little bit of silly charm.

Story
Selina is a 2 year old lovable, energetic, and very curious kitty.  Selina loves attention and loves to play.  She will always be in the room with you and sleep on the bed with you.She is recently fixed, has all her vaccines, and was at the vet for a checkup a couple of weeks ago and got a clean bill of health.  She is also very well litter trained, never had an accident.She eats dry food, but loves wet food from a can on special occasions.  She also loves very small amounts of cheese or other “accidental” food drops in the kitchen 🤣.  She is petite in size but with a very healthy appetite.

Story
We originally rescued Levi in Montana. He is extremely playful and was a great first pet for us when it was just my wife and I. After we rescued another cat and have 2 children, he has gotten more aggressive with our other cat. I don’t believe our home is the right fit for him anymore and we just want to find him a healthy, safe and happy home.

Story
Ebony is a glossy house panther who came to us when her prior owner could no longer care for her. In the shelter environment, Ebony is more on the reserved side. She lived harmoniously with cats in her prior home. She is still young and we think she would come out of her shell in a calm forever home. Shelters are more stressful for the introverts and we think this is the case with her. Consider opening your heart and home to this girl.
