Story
Sometimes life changes in ways we can't control — that's how this sweet boy found himself here, looking for a second chance. At just 2 years old, Clover was surrendered when his previous owner's housing situation changed, and now he’s adjusting to a world that feels unfamiliar. Shy by nature, Clover prefers quiet corners and cozy hiding spots where he can feel safe. But give him time, patience, and a little understanding, and you'll start to see glimpses of the gentle soul underneath. He may not be the first to greet you, but he notices the small kindnesses — a soft voice, a slow blink, a treat left nearby. Clover would do best in a calm, quiet home with someone willing to go at his pace. Once he learns to trust, we believe he’ll make a loyal and loving companion. It is vital that Clover goes home with another friendly and confident cat. He comes out of his shell more with feline companionship. If you believe love is something worth waiting for, this shy boy might just be the one for you.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Glenda is a beautiful 4-year-old torbie—a unique mix of tabby and tortoiseshell—with a personality as special as her coat. She’s more of a “roommate” cat than a lap cat, enjoying her independence while still appreciating gentle affection on her terms. Glenda will happily accept pets but will politely let you know when she’s had enough. She came to us as a stray, so we don’t have a history of how she does with other cats, dogs, or kids. From what we’ve seen, she seems to prefer a calm, quiet home without other pets or young children. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion who values personal space, Glenda might be the perfect match for you! Glenda is available to meet at Petco!

Story
Skye is a beautiful 10-year-old gray lady with a gentle soul. She’s declawed and has a shy nature at first—but once she learns to trust you, her sweet personality shines through. Skye is fine living with other cats, but because of her timid temperament, she may struggle in homes with dogs or young children. If you’re looking for a quiet, low-key companion who will blossom with patience and love, Skye could be the perfect match for you.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Binx Binx is a five-year-old female who’s mastered the art of being your sweetest shadow. She’s social, affectionate, and loves being near people—whether curled up beside you, chirping for attention, or snoozing through a lazy afternoon. She’s the kind of cat who makes a house feel like home. Binx has Feline Leukemia Virus (FELV), which means her immune system needs extra care. FELV does not affect humans, dogs, or other non-feline pets. With good nutrition, regular vet visits, and a calm home, FELV+ cats can live happy, comfortable lives—sometimes for many years. Binx needs to be indoor only, either no other cats or FELV+ housemates, a calm, low-stress environment, proactive vet care and good nutrition. The most important? Plenty of love and cozy spots to nap Binx is affectionate, resilient, and ready to be someone’s heart cat. Adopting a FELV+ kitty is an act of kindness that truly changes a life—and she’ll repay you with companionship, gratitude, and endless purrs. If you’re looking to give a deserving cat a safe, loving home, Binx is waiting with an open heart.

Story
Shelly is a sweet and sensitive 7-month-old gray tabby with striking black rings on her tail and a touch of white on her chest and chin. She loves gentle pets and is sure to steal your heart with her soft personality. Shelly came to us as a stray, so we’re not certain how she does with other cats, dogs, or kids—but given her young age, we believe she could adjust well in a loving home. Shelly currently has an ear infection, so she will be foster-to-adopt until her medication is finished.

Marty is a gentle soul with a soft gray-and-white coat and the sweetest eyes. He’s shy at first and prefers quiet spaces where he can feel safe. Marty truly blossoms when he has another calm, confident cat to lean on—he takes comfort in their presence and feels more secure when he can share their vibe.

His ideal home is calm, low-stress, and includes a feline friend who can help him feel grounded. What Marty Needs: A calm, indoor-only home with another confident cat, patience and cozy spaces to retreat and feel secure Marty is a sensitive, soft-hearted little guy who just needs the right environment to thrive.
