Story
Gabby is a very sweet cat. As she’s gotten older she isn’t fond of a lot of commotion which our house is full of. She’s very loveable and snuggly. She would thrive in a calmer quieter house

Story
She is a cuddly cat, very shy around strangers. She loves attention. Unfortunately I have had issues with her being overstimulated and attacking me, I am pregnant and am worried about her around a baby and need to surrender her before I give birth in September. She does really well around other cats. She’s less than 2 years old and house trained

Story
Peanut is a petite 6-pound cat who will be 5 years old in December. We’ve had her since she was a kitten, and she has always been sweet, affectionate, and playful. She loves being around her people and sleeps at the foot of our bed on her own pillow. Since adding young children to our family, Peanut has shown increasing signs of stress. Toddlers and babies can be loud and unpredictable, and we believe our busy household has become overwhelming for her. She has also recently been trying to get outside more often, which makes us think she may be seeking a quieter environment. We feel Peanut would do best in a home without young children, or with older, respectful kids who understand cat boundaries. She is spayed, NOT declawed, and will come with her food, litter, litter box, automatic feeder, water bowl, carrier, favorite pillow/blanket, vet records, and other supplies. This has been an incredibly difficult decision. We love Peanut dearly and simply want to find her a calm, loving home.

Story
Nimbus is a soft gray mama cat with wise eyes and a quiet strength. She’s done the hard work of raising her kittens—keeping them warm, safe, and loved—and now it’s her turn to be cared for. With her job beautifully finished, Nimbus is ready to trade nursery duties for sunny windowsills, gentle head scratches, and a home of her very own. Calm, affectionate, and endlessly deserving, she’s waiting for a family who will let her finally just be the baby. She has a $100 adoption fee. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized.

Story
Jolene is a golden tabby with a quiet strength and a soft, watchful gaze. She was rescued just in time from a home that stood in the path of heavy machinery, scheduled to be torn down. Since then, she’s traded uncertainty for sunlit windowsills and gentle routines. Though a little cautious at first, Jolene has grown into a warm, affectionate companion who loves slow mornings, cozy corners, and the simple comfort of being safe at last. She has a $110 adoption fee. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized.
