Story
I have had Yoshi since May of 2021, when she was born in my parents home. As of May this year (2026) she will be 5 years old. I am hoping to find someone who will be able to love and care for her to the best of their abilities as I did/do. She is a very loving, very sweet kitty who needs a lot of time and attention. I do not recommend that she goes to a home with dogs, she has had previous issues with dogs. She is great with people after acclimation, especially with treats. She is very cuddly and will demand you go to bed so she can sleep by your feet. I unfortunately am not able to give her the attention she needs as I am working full time and barely have time to spare at home. She is in need of some medical attention as I believe she has some urinary issues, but I do not have the $$ to take her to a vet. The fee will be going entirely towards a visit to the vet as well as getting updated shots. I love her dearly and I am sure you will too.

Story
We're looking for someone who's ready to take care of the goodest girl ever. Mercy (full name Mercedes Rockwell the Third) is about 2, very spry and curious about the world around her but also likes to be around humans. Whether you prefer a cat who likes to be outdoors or a professional cuddler, Mercy likes to both nap and to explore. She really is content to follow you around and randomly start conversations with you; very talkative. Adopter should want to interact with animals and be responsible when it come to feeding and maintenance of a cat. Previous experience not required but should have a place for the cat to stay.

Story
Mimi is a former stray who wandered into my life months ago and completely stole my heart. She would make an amazing indoor companion. She is extremely affectionate, very talkative, and loves being involved in whatever you are doing. Mimi adores playtime, pets, and sleeping on top of you every single night. She is soft, athletic, charming, and full of personality. She is constantly making us laugh and always greets us with her funny meows. I would keep her if I could, but she does not get along with my two male cats, and we are a military family moving in April. I am determined to find Mimi a loving forever home where she can be spoiled and cherished. She has so much love to give and will truly brighten the right person’s life.

Story
Charlie is an extroverted, sweet and laid back friendly senior cat who never meets a stranger. This confident boy loves to be petted and rewards you with his loud purrs and attention. This lanky, long legged cat can be very talkative, with a deep meows that seem like he may have some oriental shorthair in his lineage. His parents have recently moved into a nursing home and this 13 year old is looking for a place to spend his senior years, ideally with his bonded “sister” Boots, who he’s been raised with. Charlie is low maintenance and healthy and just requires thyroid medication with his food each day.

Story
Edjy was an outdoor stray who was missing his left eye and was heavily scarred. We brought him inside, got him surgery for his eye, got him vaccinated, and he's been a very loving lap cat since. We've been working on his food insecurity as he tends to gobble down food quickly. However, one of our cats is very territorial and keeps attempting to start fights, and Edjy doesn't back down. He doesn't start fights with the other cats, but he is the newcomer, and we have to be fair to everyone. He's good with having his claws trimmed and hasn't scratched or bitten outside of rough play. He does hiss at loud sounds and is a little skittish.
