Rescued from a high-kill shelter when he was just a little guy, he’s come a long way and is ready for the forever home he deserves. He may be sweet and mellow most of the time, but when playtime starts, watch out! He’s FAST!! This little gray tabby can fly when he gets the zoomies! With his handsome stripes, loving personality, and fun-loving spirit, he’s the whole package. He’s ready to race his way straight into your heart—and hopefully, into your forever home. ❤️ Adoption fee $200, includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Meet Coco, your new tortie best friend! Coco came to us from a shelter with her five nursing kittens, and after being such a wonderful mama, she’s more than ready for some time to be spoiled herself! Coco is laid-back, friendly, and wonderfully chatty. She’s the kind of girl who likes to keep you company and may have a few things to say about what’s happening around the house. Her favorite pastime? Finding a sunny window and settling in for a little warmth and relaxation. ☀️ And yes, she’s a tortie, which means she comes with all the classic tortie charm: a little sass, a lot of personality, and an unmistakable flair for making sure life is never boring. She’s confident enough to have an opinion, but sweet enough to make you smile when she shares it. After raising five kittens, Coco is ready for her next chapter—one filled with sunny windows, cozy naps, plenty of conversation, and a family who will love her for the wonderfully unique girl she is. ❤️ Adoption fee $200, includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Meet Oso! Oso is a wonderful, playful boy who is looking for a forever family to call his own. Full of personality and charm, Oso's favorite things in life are chasing a ball, batting around a piece of string, and then settling down beside his favorite person for a well-earned cuddle. This handsome guy is incredibly social and loves to 'talk.' Oso is constantly trilling, chirping, and carrying on conversations with both humans and feline friends. If he's looking for attention or trying to convince someone to play, you'll definitely hear about it! Oso is an active cat who enjoys interactive play and would do best with a playful feline companion. Having spent part of his life outdoors, he can sometimes get a little enthusiastic during playtime, so he needs a confident cat friend who enjoys companionship and can set clear boundaries when needed. When Oso finds a buddy he clicks with, the two can entertain each other for hours. After an exciting play session, Oso appreciates having some quiet time to decompress before he's ready for more fun. He also loves the simple pleasures in life—stretching out in a sunny spot, exploring cardboard boxes, and curling up beside his people for a nap. Oso does not get along with dogs and would be happiest either as an only pet receiving plenty of attention or in a home with a compatible feline companion. Healthy, affectionate, and full of life, Oso is ready to leave his outdoor days behind and become someone's cherished lifelong companion. If you're looking for a playful, loving cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Oso may be the perfect match for you.

Story
Meet Pipa – The Princess with a Playful Side! If you're looking for a kitten who is as beautiful as she is entertaining, Pipa is your girl! This gorgeous little lady is a uniquely colored tabby with beautiful light beige markings on her face, mixed with soft gray and white speckles. Her unusual coloring makes her truly one of a kind—and she knows it! Pipa may be a princess, but she's definitely a playful princess. Her absolute favorite activity is chasing the feather-and-bell toy on a stick. She rolls, jumps, bats, pounces, and does everything she can to catch it. Once the game begins, Pipa is completely determined to conquer that feather! She also loves good old-fashioned kitten wrestling. Her brothers Pepper and Piper are her favorite playmates, and the three of them can often be found chasing, tumbling, wrestling, and generally having a wonderful time together. Pipa is a confident little girl who knows exactly how to keep her brothers entertained! When she's not busy ruling the kitten kingdom, Pipa enjoys being petted and spending time with her people. She's currently receiving medication twice a day, which she's not particularly thrilled about—because, after all, princesses should not have to take medicine! But considering she's already been to the veterinarian three times, she's doing remarkably well. The veterinary office is an especially challenging environment, with barking dogs, lots of people, and plenty of noise and commotion, yet Pipa continues to handle it like a champ. At home, she's happiest when she can play, explore, climb, and spend time with her feline family. Pipa would love a home with another playful kitten, and she would be especially happy to go home with one of her brothers. A feline friend will give this energetic girl someone to chase, wrestle with, and curl up beside after a busy day of princess duties. Beautiful, spirited, affectionate, and just a little bit demanding—Pipa is definitely a princess, and she's looking for a family willing to treat her accordingly!   It is Fancy Cats’ policy to not adopt kittens singly without another young and/or playful dog or cat in the home. Adoption fee: $350, includes first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip     If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Meet this mellow little beauty! With her sleek black coat and gorgeous green eyes, she’s already a showstopper—but it’s her sweet, gentle personality that will truly steal your heart. She came to us from a high-kill shelter with her kittens, and now that her mothering days are behind her, she’s ready for someone to spoil her. She’s a little shy at first and prefers to hang back and quietly observe rather than demand attention. But don’t mistake her reserved nature for aloofness—she’s incredibly sweet, has zero aggression, and is perfectly content to wait patiently for her turn to be loved. She’s basically smooth jazz in cat form—mellow, gentle, and effortlessly relaxing. When that beautiful tail goes up, though, consider it your invitation. She’s saying, “Okay, you’re my person now.” And once she chooses you, you’ll have a sweet little shadow who’s happy just being near you. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who doesn’t need to be the center of attention to make a big impression, this beautiful girl may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.

Story
Meet Phoenix! Age: Adult | Breed: Domestic Medium Hair | Color: Black | Good With: Other Cats Dark, handsome, and full of quiet charm — meet Phoenix, a stunning medium-haired black cat with a personality as captivating as his sleek, midnight coat. Phoenix may take a little time to warm up when he first meets you, but give him the space to settle in and get comfortable, and what you'll discover is absolutely worth the wait. Once Phoenix decides you're worthy of his trust, his true personality steps into the spotlight. He's easygoing, independent, and wonderfully laid-back — the kind of cat who moves through life entirely on his own terms and somehow makes it look effortlessly cool. He loves to explore every corner of his space, and fair warning — if you're not keeping an eye on him, this curious boy will absolutely find a little mischief to get into. Cuddles with Phoenix are something truly special, because they happen when he decides it's time — and that makes them all the more meaningful. Pick him up and he'll go completely limp in your arms, melting into you with a purr that could fill the whole room. He loves to tuck his head against your legs or arms and just soak up the closeness. Let him nibble your fingers, but rub that belly and get ready — play mode is officially activated. When he's not exploring or sneaking into trouble, you'll likely find Phoenix doing one of his favorite things — tracking down every sunny spot in the house and claiming it as his own personal throne. This boy takes his sunbathing very seriously. Phoenix also plays wonderfully with other cats. He's respectful of boundaries, never pushy, and happy to join in the fun if a feline friend invites him to play. He's truly a gentleman. If you're looking for a handsome, independent, and deeply affectionate cat who cuddles on his own schedule and brightens every sunny corner of your home — Phoenix is ready to make his way into your heart. Come meet him today!       Adoption fee: $200 includes first 2 FVRCP vaccines, sterilized, dewormed, flea preventatives, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.
