Story
I rescued my cat Mellow in May of 2025, she is a Russian blue. She ended up getting pregnant and she had her babies on Auguest 15th. Female kittens are always so much easier to find homes for but nobody is ever interested in the males... I have a 6 month old baby and a son in school, my fiance and I also both work so they are currently confined to a pop up animal tent as my dog has always been very skittish around animals he doesn't know and I am afraid of them getting hurt when I am not around. They don't get as much love and attention as they deserve and between bills and other financial responsibilities, I don't really have the extra funds to care for them... They are taken care of but I desperately need to find homes for them! They deserve families who can give them love and to reassure everyone Mama cat will be getting fixed!! If you're interested in either of these sweet little guys, please reach out! They'd be the Purr-fect addition to your family! :)

Story
Meet Shaggy, a fluffy white-and-black gentleman with the energy of a one-cat entertainment committee. He loves toys, exploring, treats, and keeping life interesting. Though playful, Shaggy is gentle with other cats, doesn't like to fight, and has excellent manners. When playtime ends, he happily slows down for petting, brushing, and affection. Shaggy is healthy, about 3 or 4 years old, neutered, litter trained, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and ear mites. He also does not spray or mark his territory. Shaggy is ready for an indoor furever home where his playful personality and luxurious coat will be appreciated. Veterinary records are available. He is shy at first and will need time adjusting to his new home. - his own space is ideal while he gets acquainted. He will do best as a single cat. Won't you consider taking Shaggy home today? He would love to meet his furever family :) Shaggy comes with plenty of food and toys to get his new family started!

Story
Hi - I'm Turq! I'm a small tabby with striking turquoise eyes. I'm hoping to find my furever home soon. Will you be my furever family, please? I used to live on the streets as a stray, but I've discovered that indoor life, with cushy beds and regular food, is where it's at. I'm affectionate, playful, and wonderfully gentle. I'm a bit shy at first, so it may take a few weeks to warm up to you. I also love human laps! I adore head rubs, brushing, and playing with toys! I'm neutered, litter-trained, vaccinated, friendly with other cats, and have my vet records. A while back, I had extensive dental surgery, but I'm pain-free and love to eat. But I can no longer safely defend myself, so I'm indoor-only. Please pick me! I will also have food & supplies for my new human parents. Love, Turq

Story
Hi, I'm Sunny & I'm looking for my furever family. I'm an orange tabby baby (6 months old), and I'm really shy, so I'll need time to settle into a new space (please be patient). But once I get to know you, I'm curious, playful, and energetic! And I love head rubs and brushing. And if course, eating and treats - my favorite! I'm fully litter trained, get all my flea treatments, and I enjoy being around other cats. I'm spayed, vaccinated, have had an exam, and am dewormed. My current foster parents are great. When I came to their porch, I knew they would help me find my furever family. And now I'm ready to move into that new space. Won't you take me home, please? I'll bring my own food and supplies to get settled in my new home. Love, Sunny
