Story
Meet Herbert (Herbie)! 🧡🐾 Herbie is a 5-month-old rescue who’s making great strides in adjusting to indoor life after being saved from a colony. While he’s still a little shy, he’s learning to trust and is working on understanding his humans’ need for cuddles. With a bit of patience, this sweet boy will soon be your ultimate snuggle buddy—he already enjoys brief cuddle sessions in your arms, purring happily! Herbie is a playful little guy who thrives in the company of other cats, especially young, energetic ones. He currently shares his foster home with other kittens and even a dog, so he’d do well in a home with another furry friend. With time and love, he’ll blossom into a devoted companion. And let’s not forget his striking orange stripes—they make him as handsome as he is lovable! Could Herbie be your new best friend? 💛🐾 He is already neutered, fully vaccinated for his age, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Meet Elfie – The Petite Snuggle Buddy! Looking for a petite, affectionate little shadow to brighten your days? Meet Elfie, the sweetest, snuggliest girl you’ll ever meet! 🌿 Loves Snuggles & Scratches – Elfie is a cuddle queen who adores head scratches and cozying up next to her favorite humans. She is the ultimate cuddle bug and always wants to be by your side, cuddle with you at night and sit next to you. Elfie is less than 6 pounds so she is quite the little cutie. 🌿 Great with Cats & Kids – Elfie is comfortable with elementary-aged kids and other cats, making her a wonderful addition to a family home. Her current foster family has 2 cats and 2 young boys, and Elfie doesn’t mind the chaos at all! She can be picked up and loved on by everyone. 🌿 Perfect Work-from-Home Companion – Need a soft, purring coworker? Elfie is happy to keep you company while you work! 🌿 Loves All People – Elfie is so thrilled to now spend her days indoors. Just like any adoption, we’d suggest giving her a few days to warm up in a smaller space (like a bathroom) to feel comfortable, and she loves when new people sit on the floor so she can approach at her own pace. But once she trusts you and settles in — get ready for non-stop love! Elfie won’'t be one to run from strangers or hide when company is over. 🌿 Food Motivated – This little lady loves her meals and treats—one of the many ways to win her heart! Elfie was rescued from an outdoor colony and her finder quickly realized this girl was way to friendly to live her days without constant love and affection. She is spayed, fully vaccinated for her age, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. She only needs a microchip if you wish (we do suggest it, and most vets don’t charge significantly for). lf you’re looking for an affectionate, snuggly cat who is so ready to find her persons, Elfie is the one for you! Could you be her forever cuddle buddy? 📍 Interested in adopting Elfie? Reach out today to meet this sweet girl!
