Story
Meet Noah & Newt 🐾💛 A sweet mother-son duo ready to steal your heart Noah and her son Newt share a special bond that’s impossible to miss. Noah is a gentle, nurturing mother, and Newt — once the shyest kitten of his litter — has blossomed into a confident, playful boy with her by his side. Their connection is what makes them such a joy to watch, and it’s why we’re looking for a home that will adopt them together as PARL Pals. Both Noah and Newt are sweet, curious, and full of fun ✨. They love exploring new spaces, chasing toys, and curling up for cozy naps together 💤. Their playful antics and affectionate nature make them a wonderful pair for anyone looking to add double the love to their home.

Story
Meet Eggnog A quiet beauty with a heart waiting to bloom Eggnog is a stunning tortoiseshell girl with a soft, marbled coat and soulful eyes that hint at the gentle spirit within. While she’s reserved here at the shelter, we believe that with time, patience, and the comfort of a loving home, her true personality will shine through. Eggnog is looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can be the queen of her castle — she’d prefer to be the only pet so she can fully relax and enjoy her space. She finds joy in the simple things: curling up in a cozy, fluffy bed, stretching out on her favorite scratcher, and quietly observing the world around her. With a little time and understanding, Eggnog has the potential to become a deeply loyal companion for someone who appreciates the quiet, steady bond of a cat who chooses her people carefully. If you’re ready to give Eggnog the peaceful home she deserves, she just might reward you with the softest purrs and the warmest heart.

Dot loves other cats and would definitely benefit from having a feline friend in her furever home!

Story
Sky is a sweet and friendly 9 year old cat. She can be shy at first, but once she is comfortable with you, she is very vocal and affectionate. Sky currently lives with another cat, but has never been around dogs. Sadly, Sky's owner recently passed away and she is in need of a new one. She would do best in a quieter home without young children. Sky is up to date on all of her medical care and her most recent physical was in December of 2024.
