Story
We found Dewy about 2 months ago, she was a stray and we took her in! She was very sweet, but shy, taking a little while to adjust to the new environment. Eventually she warmed up to us and seeks affection, especially before bed! She chirps when she's content, and is very curious! Loves to sunbathe on her cat hammock as well as play with stuffed toys and whatever she can get her paws on! She's roughly a little over a year old. We are looking for someone who would give attention only to her and treat her like the princess she is, she is also all up to date on vaccines Rabies + FVRCP, she is also spayed. (I have records for proof) She is a sweet girl, but sassy at times, so patience is needed with her! Thank you for considering Dewy!

Story
Looking for an Extraordinary Home for an Extraordinary Little Cat This special cat needs more than an adopter... he needs a person who will be his person. Hiker is about one year old, incredibly affectionate and completely in love with people. He is also deaf. Everyone who meets him falls for him and the feeling is mutual, he has never met a stranger. He wants to be close to people, involved in whatever they are doing and part of everyday life. Getting a bite to eat can be challenging with him, because he believes he should be eating with you. He did have a difficult start in life and his foster mom says that if you imagine a fearless toddler who has survived a stroke, who can not hear you, you will get a slice of what he is like. "Derpy",is accurate but incomplete. He approaches the world with optimism and curiosity with absolutely no awareness that he has limitations. It's equal parts inspiring, hilarious, and terrifying! He doesn't realize that he can't hear danger. He doesn't always make the safest decisions. He depends on the people around him to notice what he can't - there may also be some vision challenges that may or may not resolve. He depends on the people around him to notice what he can't (there may also be some vision challenges that may or may not resolve. Because of those things, he needs someone who sees his care as a privilege rather than a burden. In foster-care it was determined he needs to be the only pet in a home- he startles at every turn. He needs someone patient and attentive, who can provide a predictable routine and understands how consistency helps him feel safe and thrive... and ideally works from home. When alone he meows nearly non-stop, until he falls asleep, and since he doesn't hear himself he meow's louder and louder... he prefers not to be alone. He is good wearing a harness, riding in a pet seat and doesn't mind a carrier, much. He may be great as an adventure cat but he would always need a thoughtful handler who understands that his confidence far exceeds his judgment. Not hearing puts him at a very high risk of being hurt outside and someone or something approaching from behind or unexpectedly entering his space can surprise him, so he needs a person who is always thinking one step ahead for him. He won't ever be the cat who can "figure it out". Our world wasn't designed for him so we are looking to find the person willing to design their world for him. There is no hurry. He is safe with someone who loves him, and is committed to finding his forever home. We are looking for a very special person who reads this and thinks, "I've been waiting for a cat exactly like him."

Story
Tulip is a sweet, shy girl looking for a family thats willing to give her time to bloom. She takes awhile to warm up but when she does she becomes the sweetest girl. Tulip will greet you with chirps and flops, and will come lay in your lap when she's comfortable. Her love language is food, and churru is the way to her heart. Tulip also enjoys playtime and is a professional parkour practitioner as a hobby. She gets along well with other cats and dogs once she gets to know them.

Meet Strawberry Jane, affectionately known as Janie! This sturdy little tomgirl has a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a whole lot of charm packed into one adorable package. Strawberry is a very hands-on kind of girl, quite literally! She doesn't just want to be near her people; she wants to touch them. She loves reaching out with her little paws to hold your hand, wrapping her paws around your arm, or resting her head against you. She's happiest when she's involved in whatever her humans are doing and makes sure you never forget she's there. She's also developed quite the fondness for morning coffee! Janie believes this is a shared household ritual and would very much like to participate. She's a girl who likes to be part of the action, and mornings are no exception! Equal parts playful, cuddly, and just a little sassy, Strawberry is a delightful combination of tomgirl spirit and total sweetheart. She gets along with other cats but she'll appreciate a slow and thoughtful introduction. She also has a bit of a jealous streak and isn't shy about putting herself front and center when someone else is getting a little too much attention. She hasn't had experience with dogs. Strawberry is the kind of kitten who makes everyday moments feel a little more special. If you're looking for a companion who will hold your hand, supervise your morning routine, keep you entertained, and happily curl up close, Strawberry Jane is ready to be your little shadow. Just remember, around here, everything is better when Janie is included!

Story
This handsome 4-year-old black cat has come a long way in the seven months he’s been in foster care. When he first arrived, everything felt overwhelming—he spent his first few weeks perched on top of a dresser, just watching the world from a safe distance. With time, patience, and a steady routine, he’s grown into a confident cat who now roams the house and likes being part of daily life. He’s the kind of cat who picks his people. He may take a little time to warm up—and might even give a cautious hiss to new faces—but once he trusts you, he’s all in. He tends to bond especially closely with men and would love a home where he can be someone’s loyal sidekick. In his foster home, he does well with female cats but would prefer to be the only male. He’d do best in a calm, predictable home with someone who understands that trust takes time and lets him move at his own pace. He has been diagnosed with FIC, a stress-related urinary condition, so a stable, low-stress environment is really important for him. He’ll do best in a home where someone is around most of the time and doesn’t travel often, since changes in routine can be hard on him. The good news is that with consistency and care, he’s already made great progress. Once he feels safe, his sweet side really comes out. He loves stretching out in a sunny spot and is a big fan of belly rubs—when he’s in the mood. He’s also got a little personality and won’t hesitate to let you know when he’s missed you. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and are willing to give him the stability he needs, he’ll return it with affection, character, and plenty of cozy moments in the sun.

Story
Meet Oracle, a loving little soul with a journey that showcases her resilience and spirit! When she first arrived, Oracle was a shy kitty battling an infection and adjusting to her new surroundings. With a little extra time and lots of love, she blossomed into a curious and playful companion. Despite her initial progress, Oracle faced challenges with anxiety that led her to bite and lick herself. To help her heal, she spent some time in a cone-though she was quite the escape artist at first! After some dedicated one-on-one time and patience, she's learned to accept the cone, and I often find her comfortably lounging in it, ready for playtime or cuddles. Oracle takes daily medication to help manage her anxiety. After some trial and error, we've found a foolproof method for her to take it-she happily eats it mixed with her favorite Sheba wet food, topped off with Feline Greenies dental treats. With a steady diet of wet and dry food, she's thriving and full of energy! This sweet girl adores my other two cats and became fast friends with them, showing her affectionate nature. Oracle's favorite napping spot is right on your lap, and she's always quick to join you the moment she hears the recliner go up. She loves to play, especially with toys she can carry around and that make noise, and you'll often find her favorite toys scattered throughout the house. Oracle is looking for a loving forever home where she can continue to thrive, surrounded by gentle hands and warm laps. If you're ready to open your heart to this delightful girl, Oracle is eager to share her love and playful spirit with you!
