Story
We rescued Duck as a kitten in 2022. He's sociable, plays with our other cat / dogs, and is a cuddly boy. We absolutely love him, but are looking to rehome him to the right person. He's done great with us moving / renovating our new house, adopting a kooky puppy, and lots of visitors, including young children. Since my wife became pregnant last April, he started marking outside the litter box around our house, and it only got worse once our baby was born in December. He never once did this before the pregnancy. He never minded kids coming to visit, but this was different for him. We took him to the vet many times over the last year to rule out health concerns, tried behavioral meds, and made every adjustment within reason to accommodate more enrichment, play, his own space, plenty of litter boxes throughout the house, etc, but he just seems to be upset about the baby.. If you're looking for a sweet boy and don't have a baby / aren't expecting, let me know if you're interested! :)

This is Persephone! She is a loving cuddly companion who is very vocal. She loves tummy rubs and bathing in sunlight. Unfortunately we cannot keep her due home issues but i’m sure she will make a perfect addition to any home. She is very friendly with other animals and people.

Story
We rescued Jerry from the streets as a 5 month old kitten back in 2022. He is about 4 years old now. He can be the sweetest cuddliest, most loving, most playful, goofy and rambunctious cat and it has absolutely broken my heart to come to this but he has developed some health issues that we just absolutely cannot afford to treat. So lately he’s been irritable and sometimes aggressive and extremely paranoid. He needs a good specialized home, someone who will love him wholeheartedly and who can help him. I don’t want him suffering any longer than necessary and we can’t afford to risk eviction from our house either. Please help Jerry! He deserves it!

Story
💔 It breaks my heart to write this, but I need to find a loving forever home for my sweet Grey kitty. Unforeseen life changes are requiring me to relocate and unfortunately I won't be able to bring him with, and I want nothing more than for him to go somewhere he’ll truly thrive. He’s about 9 years old and ideally, he'd go to a home with another friendly kitty so he could have a companion. He’s not the biggest fan of dogs, but will tolerate or avoid them if they are present. He is neutered and declawed so he is strictly an indoor cat. Everything he needs will come with him — food, food bin, litter box and scoop, toys, and his cat bed. I also have a multi-level cat tree that I'm happy to include. He likes to drink water out of the sink if you run it for him and loves a good chin scratch and snuggle session. Hoping someone will be interested in adopting my Grey boy as a new addition to their family. Rehoming fee is negotiable - just want to make sure he goes to a good home.

Story
This is Mocha she has been in my care since July of 2025. She was rescued along side her litter of four kittens. That litter was thought to be her 9th, she was found in a tire seven years ago as a small kitten and remained outdoors since. They were picked up with the purpose of trying to prevent repopulating at my bosses home. Unfortunately her time spent with me has been one of mostly solitude as she does not seem to enjoy the company of other cats. She is mostly litter box trained she has had some incidents but I think it’s due to fear of leaving her spot because of the other cats. Looking to find this sweet girl her forever indoor home where can finally settle down and open up after her long adventures thriving outdoors. Due to a personal situation and tight money constraints I have not gotten her the veterinary care she needs such as basic shots and a spay. However if she found a home I would be willing to arrange her shots and spay before her permanent move. Thank you 💕

Story
Meet Vegeta— a sweet, loving boy looking for the perfect home. He absolutely adores his people and nothing makes him happier than curling up for cuddles with his family. Vegeta is incredibly friendly, loves meeting new people, and even gets along well with dogs.He truly thrives as the only cat in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention. While he may be a little shy at first, he adjusts quickly and settles into new environments with ease. He’s an indoor-only kitty, neutered, and around 2–3 years old.Vegeta is low-maintenance, full of love, and would make an amazing companion for the right family. To help make his transition easier, he’ll come with his cat tower and enclosed litter box.He deserves a home where he’ll be loved as much as he loves his people. 🖤🐾
