Story
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. 🌸💕

Belly is one of five cats who were left at HHS with a heartfelt love note, so while we don’t know much about his past, we do know someone wanted the very best for him. Belly is friendly, cat-friendly, and easygoing — happy to share his home with other pets or enjoy life as a solo companion. He’s recently neutered, fully vetted, and ready to start his next chapter with a family of his own

Story
Hi there! I’m Pepper 🌶️ I’m about 2 years old and currently hanging out at Heartland, patiently waiting for my forever home. I’ve spent most of my life as an outdoor cat, but I’m more than ready to embrace the finer things in life—soft beds, cozy couches, and lots of human attention. I’m a friendly, curious guy who loves people of all ages. Cuddling? Big fan. Following my humans around? Absolutely. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants to be where you are, I’m your cat. I’m fully litter box trained, so no worries there—I’ve got my manners down. I am tolerant of dogs, but I do not get along with other cats at all, so I’ll need to be the only cat in my future home. If you’re searching for a cool, affectionate cat with a dash of spice, come meet me. I’ll be waiting… probably ready to cuddle. 💛
