Story
Meet Biscuit. He’s between 3-7 years old. We began fostering him in July/2026. Since July, he has let his orange personality shine through. He is affectionate, sweet, cuddly, playful, and clumsy. He enjoys lying in laps, pets, watching Cat TV, food, treats, playing with toys, napping in bathroom sinks, and making biscuits. He is okay being held for short periods of time. He appears to leave household plants alone. He can be vocal at times, but usually because he is seeking food or attention. He is gentle with humans, but appears to have some territorial aggression with other cats. He is improving being around our cats. It might be best for Biscuit to be an “only child,” or go to an experienced adopter who can work with him. He’s a wonderful cat; he just fended for himself outside for a long time. He deserves a loving, patient, indoor home that can help him adjust. The more I am around him, the more I call him a velcro kitty. He loves being with his human and playing next to his human.

Story
He came up to us at our front door, and while pensive at first was the sweetest guy. Now he rubs on everyone he meets, and while he is occasionally spicy (he is very food motivated and does not like his feet touched) he is a fella who cannot get enough pets. --Health-- We have had him neutered, updated his shots (Purevax), microchipped, and he initially had some tapeworm and giardia but this has been treated as well. He is negative for feline leukemia, but !!IS positive for FIV!!. It has not progressed at all, but please be aware that he can give this to other cats via bite. We can send all medical records.

Story
Charlie started coming around our house about six months ago. We first noticed him on our Ring cam, he has a unique white stripe across his back that looked like he was wearing a diaper when we saw him on our cameras after dark! After a while, we started seeing him during the day but he was extremely skittish and would run away as soon as he saw us. We started putting food out for him and that’s when he started warming up to us. After gaining his trust and affection, we finally got him to the vet yesterday. Unfortunately we found out he is FIV+. Since he is a stray, they suggested that we euthanize him. Charlie is too sweet to let his story end like that. He is currently staying in our garage, but that is only sustainable for so long. We are desperately searching for a forever home for this sweet handsome boy. Being FIV+ he needs a home as an only cat or a home with other FIV+ cats. It’s breaking our hearts that we cannot keep him in our home. We are praying for a miracle for Charlie!
