Story
Meet Ziva 💫 Ziva is a 6-month-old gray domestic short hair, spayed female, with the softest fur and the sweetest little soul. She was brought in from a colony after it was discovered she wasn’t quite feral — just unsure of the world and waiting for someone to show her it was safe. When she first arrived, Ziva was very shy and cautious. But with patience and love, she’s blossomed beautifully. Now she plays with my resident cats and can absolutely hold her own with the three boys. She’s still thoughtful about new situations, but she’s much more adventurous than she was just a few weeks ago — and it’s been incredible to watch her confidence grow. Ziva would thrive in a calm home that understands she may need a little time to fully settle in. She hasn’t been kid or dog tested yet, so a quieter environment would be ideal for her continued growth. Her current menu includes Purina Healthy Kitten dry food and Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers (beef and chicken — she has standards). She LOVES Churu and will happily sit on your lap while she enjoys one like the tiny queen she is. One of her favorite games? Whack-a-mole… except she’s the mole, and she’s whacking you. Surprise paws are her specialty. Once she feels comfortable, Ziva is a snuggler. She purrs softly while giving tiny headbutts and will melt into you for affection. She’s the kind of girl who bonds deeply — the reward is worth the patience. Spayed, playful, and full of quiet charm, Ziva is ready for a home that will let her continue becoming the brave, loving little cat she’s meant to be.

Story
Allie-Gator & Salli-Mander 🧡🐾 6 months old | Diluted Calico Sisters | Spayed | Bonded Pair If you’ve been dreaming of a built-in best friend duo, meet Allie-Gator and Salli-Mander — two 6-month-old diluted calico sisters who are as bonded to each other as they are to their humans. Allie-Gator earned her name honestly — when she wants attention, she does the most dramatic and adorable alligator roll at your feet until you give in (and you will give in). Salli-Mander is the gentle soul of the pair, lovingly making soft little biscuits the second she settles into your lap for a cuddle session. Together — along with their brother — they are the most loving and affectionate kittens I think I’ve ever fostered. These girls don’t just like people… they adore them. Yes, they’ll chase a spring toy like pros, but what they truly want is a warm lap, a cozy snuggle, and a Churu to seal the deal. They are currently eating Iams Kitten wet food (chicken) and Purina Healthy Kitten dry food and doing wonderfully. They do well with other cats and would be happy in a feline-friendly home. They have not been dog or kid tested. That said, I believe they would likely do well with gentle, respectful older children — they’re affectionate and loving, but they are not a rowdy bunch and would prefer a calmer environment where they can cuddle in peace. Their dream home? Somewhere they can be near their person as much as possible. They’re perfectly content keeping each other company when you’re busy, but if they had it their way, they’d be your full-time shadow and cuddle committee. If your heart (and your couch) has room for double the love, Allie-Gator and Salli-Mander are ready to roll — literally. 🧡

Story
Meet Cypress, a lovely 1-year-old girl with a soft, beautiful tabby coat and a gentle, observant nature. Cypress is still settling into the shelter environment, which can be a little overwhelming for a young cat. She can be shy at first and prefers a calm, quiet approach while she gets to know new people. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality begins to shine through. She enjoys cozy spots, gentle attention, and watching the world around her with those curious, thoughtful eyes. At just a year old, Cypress is at a wonderful age – past the tiny kitten phase but still playful, curious, and full of potential. With a little patience and a peaceful home, she is sure to blossom into a devoted and loving companion. Cypress would do best with an adopter who understands that some cats need a little time to adjust and build confidence. In return, you’ll get to watch her grow more comfortable, affectionate, and trusting day by day – one of the most rewarding parts of adoption. If you’re looking for a young cat with a gentle spirit and a lot of love to give, Cypress may be the perfect match for you.
