Story
(Update: There are two girls and mom left, a grey tabby and a grey and white as pictured! They are ready to go home by Jan 31!) This sweet girl is Mama B! We found her wandering our land VERY pregnant, it was about to storm and I could tell she was asking for help. Not more than an hour after bringing her into the barn she had 5 babies. We have been taking care of her as well as the babies since and they are growing like little weeds! We have posted her on numerous FB pages and called animal services with no luck. Mama B would make an amazing pet she’s so sweet but is weary around dogs (which makes sense with her protecting her babies). The kittens were born on 11/22/25 and won’t leave mama until 10-12 weeks but need to post them now rather than later. All of the babies (to my best knowledge) are girls except the all black with tabby stripes. We would love to see these kittens go to loving homes, especially Mama B (she did all the work) and before I get to attached to all of them.

Story
Meet Tisket! This beautiful tuxedo cat loves to spend time with her people. She enjoys talking to you, being pet while eating, snuggling, and being around others. She’s got a precious little kink in her tail, is not declawed, enjoys going in and outside, and loves sleeping between your legs at night. She’s great around kids, adults, and seems to not have issues with dogs, but she does not do well with female cats. On her own, she is a fantastic pet and therapy friend. It’s like she knows when you need a little extra love!

Story
Meet Jax Your New Best Friend! Say hello to Jax, a 6-month-old bundle of love, purrs, & playful energy! This sweet little guy is truly the biggest sweetheart and has a heart that’s way bigger than his tiny paws. Jax loves to be held & cuddled & will happily melt right into your arms. When he’s not soaking up affection, he’s busy being playful, curious, & absolutely adorable. He does great with other cats (dogs are still a mystery), and he’s been an indoor-only kitty who knows the comforts of home life. Jax enjoys Sheba wet kitten food and likes to snack on hard kitten food in between meals so he’s already got his dining routine down! Most of all, Jax is looking for a loving forever home where he can receive all the attention, cuddles, and love he deserves. This little guy has so much love to give, and once you meet him, he’ll steal your heart in no time. If you’re ready to add a gentle, affectionate, and playful companion to your family, Jax might be the one you've been waiting on!!

Story
Max is a 4-year-old Siamese with the sweetest heart. He’s the kind of cat who doesn’t just want to be near you he wants to be with you. When Max feels scared He finds comfort in being held, snuggling in close where he feels safe & loved. Max has had a rough start in life. He & his family were attacked by a dog. thankfully we saved Max & his son that trauma stayed with him. Because of this Max startles easily & needs a calm, patient home where he can feel secure. Please no dogs.Max is a little special needs. Being cross-eyed is common for Siamese cats, but it does affect his vision. He will need someone willing to gently show him where his food, water, and litter box are. Once he learns, he does well Max does best in a home where someone is around most of the time. He thrives on attention & love What Max really needs isn’t special food or fancy toys it’s a chance. A quiet, loving home. A person who understands that some hearts just need a little extra patience after being hurt.

Story
My name is Ellie May , and I have been told that I am a rather 'big' girl but I sure don't think so. I have been at the shelter for awhile now and have learned the routine here. I use my litterbox like a champ , and make sure I never miss a meal (of course ) I would prefer to be the only cat if I am in a house since sometimes I don't get along with other cats.  I do love to be petted and get snuggles. Please come and see me , I am a really sweet girl who would love a forever home. January 13, 2026, 3:44 pm

Hi , my name is Delilah and I am looking for my forever home. I was wondering the streets after a big winter storm and a nice person brought me here to the shelter. Now that I am warm, safe , and happy I'm ready to go home with you ! I enjoy being around people and getting pets. Sometimes I enjoy playing with toys but alot of the time I'd rather just spend time with my person. I am a pro at using my litter box. February 4, 2026, 12:18 pm
