Story
Meet Lissa — the Queen. This confident, vocal, sweetness-in-fur thrives on cozy naps, treats, and keeping her kingdom in order. She’s an easygoing girl who enjoys quiet strolls around the house and the occasional step outside. Lissa coexists well with calm cats (she lives now with two others) and respectful dogs, but prefers her space. (She’ll politely hiss if needed.) She’s litter-trained, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines. Recently losing her beloved owner who passed away, Lissa needs a patient, cat-savvy home where she can decompress and settle into her new throne. If you appreciate a graceful, older kitty with a regal aura, Lissa may be your perfect match.

Story
Ben is an exceptionally bright and affectionate cat who spends most of his time indoors but enjoys the occasional outdoor adventure. He gets along well with other dogs and cats, and he’s known for his constant purring, love of snuggling, and enthusiasm for being part of whatever you’re doing. He’ll gladly curl up with you at night, too. Ben has gone through significant loss—his owner recently passed away, as did the dog he lived with for many years—so he will need a patient home that can give him time to adjust. His experience with children is unknown, as his former owner was a retiree without young family members. Ben would do best in a home where he can safely explore outside from time to time and where neighbors won’t mind seeing him perched on a shed or car. He is litter-box trained, neutered, and current on vaccines, including a one-year rabies shot he received in August.

Story
I am Drake. I am soft and independent but I will be near you always. I prefer floors and window sills to sit in when you are in the room but I also love your lap or the high back of the chair behind you when you’re relaxing. I like to be pet but not a ton. I am good for three to five minutes but then I just want to be by you and sleep or watch out the window. I meow at meal time to let you know I’m ready for food. My owner likes to say I sing for my supper. I like to run to the bowl excited to eat. I have sharp claws good for catching birds as I am an indoor / outdoor cat but I am missing a few teeth. The dentist got me during a check up after I was rescued but don’t worry, I eat just fine. I can live in a house with other cats but know that I’m curious and will stick my nose in their business ( and food) but when confronted, I’ll run away. I’m a bit of a baby that way. It would best though to be your one and only. I’ll keep you good company.

Story
Tammany is a gentle, food-motivated cat who makes his needs known, especially when it comes to mealtime or treats. When he isn’t seeking snacks, he’s a dedicated napper with a calm presence and occasional interest in brief outdoor exploration. He has a chronic issue with one eye that causes persistent tearing; while it affects his appearance, it doesn’t diminish his affectionate nature. He has responded to intermittent eye-drop treatments and will need an adopter who can continue that care. Tammany is litter-box trained and is now looking for a new home because his lifelong owner passed away, leaving him without the person and the dog he lived with for many years. He will need time and a quiet environment to adjust. His experience with children is unknown, as his previous owner was a retiree. With an experienced, patient pet owner who can offer individual attention and support, Tammany has the potential to settle comfortably into a new, stable home.

Story
This is Mya. Mya has been the softest, sweetest, most lovable cat I have ever owned. She is about 4 years old. She purrs when you pet her, loves to sit on your lap, and is also litter box trained and goes indoors and outdoors. Outside she rolls in the sun and will grab small mice and rodents. She is quiet and patient when she waits for food and is the perfect companion who only wants one pet. Unfortunately I have another dominant cat that attacks her and scares her and he is more difficult to re home. Mya needs a quieter loving owner who wants a low maintenance easy to love cat. She really is nearly perfect. I just cannot keep her here with my other cat who keeps attacking her. You are getting a gem of a feline here. She is pretty much perfect.
