Meet Lucky! Adoption Fee: $299 Adoption Application: Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/NCYmet7DbsGM6zr36 Little Lucky has already had more life experience than any tiny kitten should. He was brought into the vet with a tough upper respiratory infection, and sadly, his family couldn’t afford the care he needed. They made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to one of the vet techs so he could get help. And that’s where Lucky’s story turned around. Now in our rescue and thriving in a loving foster home, Lucky is healthy, happy, and absolutely perfect. He’s playful, affectionate, and full of that classic kitten curiosity. He loves to chase toys, wrestle with his foster buddies, and then curl up for sweet snuggles when playtime is over. Lucky is currently being fostered with other kittens and would do best in a home with another young, playful cat. He truly blossoms when he has a buddy to romp around with. If you’re thinking about adopting a pair, we’d love to help you find the perfect match for him! Two kittens are always better than one — double the fun and double the love. We promised Lucky that his next home would be an amazing one, and we intend to keep that promise. If you’re ready to give this sweet little survivor the forever family he deserves, please reach out and submit an adoption application. Lucky is ready to make your home — well — lucky. We do offer a discount when adopting more than one pet.

Story
Meet Big Mike! Adoption Fee: $275 Adoption Application: Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/NCYmet7DbsGM6zr36 This gorgeous Bombay boy is as stunning as he is sweet. Big Mike is about 1 year old and already weighs around 12lbs. He may still have a little growing to do! He's a solid, sleek, panther-like gentleman with a big presence and an even bigger heart. Big Mike was heartbreakingly dropped off at our local Humane Society and left sitting on the porch overnight. When staff arrived in the morning, it was clear he had once been someone's beloved pet. Thankfully, the Humane Society reached out to our rescue because they know we work hard to find truly amazing forever homes - and Big Mike deserves nothing less. Now safe in foster care, Big Mike is thriving. He lives with other cats and does wonderfully. In fact, he's especially good friends with Scar, so if you're looking for a ready-made pair, he'd happily go home with his buddy! He also has other kitty friends he could be adopted with - or he'd do just fine as a single cat soaking up all the attention for himself. Big Mike absolutely loves people. He's affectionate, social, and enjoys being part of whatever you're doing. Whether he's lounging nearby or coming over for pets, he just wants to be included and loved. After being left behind once, Big Mike is ready for a family who will cherish him forever - no more porch drop offs, no more uncertainty. Just a lifetime of safety, love and companionship. If you're looking for a handsome young cat with a gentle spirit and a heart of gold, Big Mike is waiting to meet you. We do offer a discount when adopting more than one pet.

Story
Meet Morris! Adoption Fee: $275 Adoption Application: Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/NCYmet7DbsGM6zr36 Morris is a big, beautiful 10-month-old orange boy with a heart just as bright as his coat. This sweet young cat was found as a stray and brought to a local vet by a kind Good Samaritan after suffering a terrible injury — his leg was badly mangled with the bone exposed. Because of that incredible rescuer’s compassion, Morris received the surgery he urgently needed, and his leg was amputated to save his life. Once he was stable, they reached out to our rescue to help him find the loving forever home he deserves. It’s been a few weeks since his surgery, and Morris is recovering beautifully. Like most tripod kitties, he’s learning to balance and move with impressive determination. Cats are amazingly resilient, and Morris is no exception — he doesn’t let his missing leg define him. He is a very sweet, friendly boy who does wonderfully with other cats. He enjoys companionship, affection, and being part of the action. Morris has been through more than most kittens his age, yet he remains gentle, trusting, and full of love. Now he’s ready for the next chapter — a safe, committed home where he will never have to struggle alone again. Morris doesn’t need four legs to live a full, happy life. He just needs someone willing to love him forever. If you believe in second chances and special cats with big hearts, Morris is waiting to meet you.

Story
Meet Scar! Adoption Fee: $275 Adoption Application: Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/NCYmet7DbsGM6zr36 Scar is a big, handsome 3-year-old boy weighing in at about 13 pounds of pure love. Don’t let the name fool you — there’s nothing intimidating about this sweet guy. He’s gentle, affectionate, and truly just a happy, easygoing cat who gets along with everyone he meets. Scar came to us as an owner surrender when his family was moving and felt they couldn’t take him along. They brought him to the clinic to be euthanized, but thankfully one of our team members stepped in and said, “No way — I’ll take him.” And we are so grateful she did. This wonderful boy deserved a second chance, not an ending. Scar is still young, with so much life and love ahead of him. He enjoys attention, would happily lounge beside you, and is the kind of steady, sweet companion who will make your house feel like home. He’s a solid, lovable big boy with an even bigger heart. Now Scar just needs what every cat deserves — a forever family who will cherish him, keep him safe, and love him for the rest of his life. No more uncertainty. No more almost-goodbyes. Just security, comfort, and unconditional love. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and you believe in second chances, Scar is waiting for you. We do offer a discount when adopting more than one pet. Scar is in a foster home with other cats and Big Mike too.
