Story
Sox puts the "chill" in chillax. He is a sweet boy who loves playing with other cats, I foster and he will play "dad" and clean them and play with the other kittens. He loves to nap. He is not bothered AT ALL by dogs. He walks right by them or lays in front of them. He has been around young kids from ages 6-15. He doesn't care too much for being held long, but he will come up to you when he wants pets. He is a handsome boy who is neutered and will ease into a new family. He loves bird and squirrel watching. Rabies up to date.

Story
Tyga and Blizzard (aka Bliz) are best best friends. They need to stay together so they can continue their daily cuddles. Tyga is a 12 year old woman and Blizzard is an 11 year old baby boy. I’ve had Tyga since she was born and Bliz was a rescue that came to me when he was about a year old. Tyga loves pets and to sleep and eat, Bliz loves to climb and watch the world from a distance. He is a shy boy but once he gets comfortable he loves a good pet and will come running once he hears a high pitched “Bliiiiiz!”. They are my first loves, and are everything to me. My daughter has severe allergies and we’ve tried everything these last 2.5 years for everyone to coexist but it unfortunately is not fair to my sweet kitties. I’m looking for loving, committed new owners who will give them the attention and care that they deserve.

Story
This poor baby was abandoned in my apartment complex. He sits outside the door all day screaming to come inside. Unfortunately I already have a cat and she is very territorial so I cannot allow him inside. He sits in the rain all day and cries and won’t leave the porch. Anyone who adopts him I will provide the cost of food for him for a year plus $200 to go towards him for a ver visit. He is a little shy at first but turns into mush once he gets to know you. He will rear up on his hind legs and head bunt you and flop all over the place while making constant mrrr sounds. He needs a human that will take a day or two to let him come out of his shell. Since he has lived outdoors for a while I do not know if he is okay with other dogs. I do know he tries to befriend my cat but she tries to beat him up. The shelters are all full around here so if you adopt him, you are literally saving his life from off the street. I hope whoever is reading this can be his human that he desperately needs.

Story
Meet Ms. Truffles, a sassy cuddle bug that, once she is comfortable in her new home, will follow and love you forever. She is a very curious cat who wants to explore and sniff everything. She is playful and will steal your hair ties to play with if you let her. Ms. Truffles likes to spend her days sunbathing and watching the birds play outside. She loves to be petted and to be near her person. She likes to talk and will greet you at the door when you come home. Ms. Truffles also likes to be near her person all the time, like watching TV with you or sitting next to you while you WFH. Ms. Truffles has gorgeous long hair that needs daily grooming, but she is good at caring for her fur. A daily brushing is best for her. She is also not a fan of other cats and will likely need to be in a one-cat household. Ms. Truffles is a great house cat for someone looking for a chilled, cuddle lap cat. The only reason she is being rehomed is that her previous owners have allergies.

Story
Dairy is 6yrs old. We adopted him to be emotional support for the foster kids we had in our home at the time. When our job changed and we had to move from the group home, we were asked to take dairy with us. He is very low maintenance, but we just can’t give him the attention he deserves. He loves to sit in the window and watch the neighborhood cats and birds. Sleeping is his favorite though. He rarely meows, only if something like his water, food or cat box needs attention. He is very healthy, weighing in at about 15lbs. He will require some time to get used to you, but when he does, he is friendly. Our small group meets here once a week and he always comes to say high to everyone. Thanks for considering giving him a new home.

Story
I adopted Luna in 2020 as a kitten from the humane society. She's a polydactyl cat which makes her really special. Shes indoor/outdoor, and comes home when we ping her AirTag. She very extroverted and loves people. She's great with children of all ages and loves our neighbors. We recently adopted a dog and she's very anxious about him. We think it'd be best for her to be in an environment that doesn't cause her so much stress.
