✨ Meet Candle — a soft glow of sweetness ✨ Hello there! My name is Candle, and I’m a beautiful 2-year-old tabby here with my sister, Flicker. We’re two lovely ladies at Heartland, each hoping to find our forever homes (maybe even together!). I’m a reserved and relaxed cat who appreciates life’s quiet moments. My boundaries are important — I’m not a fan of being picked up, but I absolutely adore gentle head and chest scratches. Once I feel comfortable, I’ll roll beside your lap, purring happily to let you know I trust you. I can be a bit shy at first, especially since my sister and I have been moved around a few times. With patience and kindness, though, I’ll soon show you my soft, trusting side. I am happiest when I have a companion. When I’m not soaking up cozy vibes, you’ll find me playing with Flicker or chasing my favorite string toys, plush toys, and bouncy balls. I’m also litter box trained and take pride in keeping things tidy. If you’re looking for a sweet, serene companion (or two — hint hint!), come meet me and Flicker in person. I will light up your life. 💛🐾

Vada – A Quiet Treasure Waiting to Be Discovered 🐾 3 years old | Female | Soft-Spoken Sweetheart & Sunbeam Seeker Hi there, I’m Vada — a gentle, reserved young lady with a heart full of love just waiting for the right person to unlock it. I came to Heartland with my step-siblings Ophelia, Kevin, and Layla, and while the kittens are bouncing off the walls, I’m more of a quiet observer. At about 3 years old, I’ve settled into my peaceful personality. I’m a bit shy at first, but if you’re patient and kind, I’ll slowly show you just how sweet and special I can be. A soft voice, a cozy spot, and a little time — that’s all I need to start trusting. I’m litter box trained and enjoy the simple things in life: a soft bed, a calm environment, and the warm glow of a sunny window. I do enjoy gentle play, especially when the room is quiet and I feel safe. If you’re the kind of person who appreciates the quiet beauty of a cat who bonds deeply and loves quietly, I might just be your perfect match. Come meet me — I may be shy at first, but for the right person, I’ll be the sweetest hidden gem. 🌸💕

🐾 Hi there! I’m Derpy — your future best friend (maybe)! 🐾 Hi, there! My name is Derpy, and I’m a stunning 2-year-old gray tabby with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I heard this is where you come to find your forever home, so… here I am! Could that be you? I adore humans and all the attention that comes with them. Just a heads-up: I like things on my schedule. Don’t worry, though—if you forget, I’ll happily remind you. I’m an excellent communicator and a champion chatterbox, so you’ll never have to guess what I’m thinking. I enjoy having my own cozy space where I can just be me. Give me a sunny window or a comfy perch to lounge on, plus a few fun toys, and I’m a very happy girl. Slow introductions help me feel safe and confident, and I’m fully litter-box trained (you’re welcome). To be honest, I’d do best as the only pet in the home—I prefer not to share my humans with other cats or dogs. I haven’t lived with kids yet, but I’m open to meeting gentle, respectful little humans. If you’re searching for a companion with personality, charm, and plenty to say, then I just might be the one for you. Come meet me in person—I can’t wait to show you my best “adopt me” eyes!

Meet Biscuit – The Beautiful Black Cat with a Golden Heart 🖤 Hello there! My name is Biscuit, and I’m a 2-year-old beauty with sleek black fur and a heart full of love. I was found as a stray, but now I’m at Heartland, ready to trade my wandering paws for a forever home. My past may be a mystery, but here’s what we do know: I adore people of all ages, I get along well with other cats, and I’ve totally mastered the litter box game. As for dogs — well, I haven’t met many yet, but I like to think I’m open to new friends! I’m playful, affectionate, and always ready to make your day a little brighter (and a lot more purr-filled). So if you’re looking for a beautiful, loving companion to share your home — and maybe your lap — come meet me, Biscuit! I can’t wait to find my happily ever after. 🐾

🐱 Meet Cruella – A True Beauty with a Heart of Gold! 🐱 Hello there! My name is Cruella, and I’m a 7-year-old beauty dressed in stunning tortoiseshell markings — my coat is as unique as my personality! I’m spending some time here at Heartland, patiently waiting for my forever home. I absolutely adore humans — cuddles, chin scratches, and cozy lap time are some of my favorite things.

I haven’t met any dogs yet, but I’m open to the idea of a slow, gentle introduction if it means making a new friend. I’m also fully litter box trained — no worries there! Give me a sunny window to nap in and some love to share, and I’ll be the happiest girl around. If you’re looking for a striking companion with plenty of affection to give, I might just be the perfect match for you. 💛 Call Heartland today to set up a meet and greet — I can’t wait to charm my way into your heart!
