Story
Hello there, I’m Mango! I’m a 3-year-old gentleman who has landed here at Heartland while searching for my forever family. I may be a little shy at first, but once I know you’re a friend, my sweet side truly shines. I’m a quiet, gentle soul who enjoys lounging in sunny windows and, when the time is right, cuddling up with my favorite humans. I’m the kind of companion who brings calm and comfort just by being nearby. I’m also litter box trained, so no worries about messes with me. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key furry friend to keep you company and share peaceful moments, I just might be the guy for you. Come meet me in person—I’d love the chance to get to know you. 🐾🍊

Story
Meet Dude — the coolest cat in town! 😎 Hey there, I’m Dude, and I’m on the lookout for my forever family! I might be about 10 years young, but don’t let that number fool you — I’ve still got plenty of pep in my paws and a heart full of love to share. I’m a friendly guy who loves hanging out with people. I haven’t met any kids yet, but I’m curious and open-minded — who knows, we might become best buddies! I get along just fine with other cats, and while I’ve never met a dog, I’m willing to give it a try if it means more friends (and maybe more toys). Speaking of toys, I love playtime almost as much as I love lounging in a sunny spot or getting a nice brushing session. I’m also a litter box pro — neat, tidy, and proud of it. If you’re looking for a charming, easygoing companion with a big personality and even bigger heart, I’m your guy. Come meet me at Heartland — I have a feeling we’ll be the perfect match. 💛

Story
Hello, I’m Sparky! I’m a beautiful 6-year-old dilute calico girl here at Heartland, patiently searching for my forever home. I can be a little shy at first, but once I know you’re a friend, I warm up quickly and love being close to my humans. Cuddles are one of my favorite things, and I also enjoy playtime with toys and other cats—I get along well with feline friends! I do want to be honest, though: dogs make me nervous, so I’d be happiest in a home without them. I’m fully litter box trained, so you won’t have to worry about messes from me. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will happily keep you company and share sweet moments, I may just be the one for you. Come meet me in person—I’d love to show you my gentle, loving side! 🐾✨

Hi friends! We’re Burt, Oscar, and Dixie, and we arrived at Heartland on the lookout for our forever homes. We’re about 5 months old, full of kitten energy, and ready to steal some hearts! We’re a sweet, cuddly trio and proud to say we’re certified purring machines. We can be a little shy at first, but don’t worry—we warm up quickly, especially if toys are involved! Playtime is one of our favorite things, and a few fun toys are all it takes to make us happy kittens. We’re also doing great with the litter box, so you won’t have to worry about any messes from us. Whether you’re looking to adopt one, two, or all three of us, we’d love to meet you and show you just how special we are. Come meet us in person—we can’t wait to cuddle up and say hello! 🐾💛

Story
Wednesday is a gentle soul who has come a long way during her time in foster care. While she still prefers a quiet, calm environment, she is no longer the super-shy girl she once was. As her confidence has grown, so has her curiosity—and her capacity for love. Wednesday thrives in a home that values low-key living—one where voices are gentle, routines are predictable, and her boundaries are respected. She’s looking for someone who understands that trust is built thoughtfully and that the most meaningful connections are often the softest. She may not be the first cat to rush the door, but once Wednesday feels comfortable, her foster mom reports that she is truly snuggly. She enjoys peaceful companionship, cozy resting spots, and the reassuring presence of her sister, Paisley. As part of a bonded pair, her adoption fee will be waived if she is adopted with her sister, Paisley.
