House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
5-7 years old (estimated) Spayed female Did not have a negative reaction towards other cats No known experience with dogs or children Has tested positive for FIV* Festivus is a sweet, easygoing girl who’s ready to bring a whole lot of love into her next home. From the moment she arrived, she’s been all about affection, leaning in for head boops, soaking up cheek scratches, and happily accepting as much love as you’re willing to give. She truly enjoys being around people, but she won't pester you, just wait quietly for your attention. If you’re looking for a cat who will fill your days with soft snuggles and steady companionship, Festivus is ready to step right in and become a beloved part of your life. Thanks to a generous sponsor Festivus' adoption fee has already been paid! *Festivus has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). It is not contagious to people or other species of pets. It is passed from cat to cat by deep bite wounds (like those inflicted during serious fights), blood transfusions, and rarely from mother cats to their kittens. Studies have shown that spayed/neutered and cat-friendly FIV+ cats can live with FIV- cats without risk of transmission. FIV suppresses the cat's immune system which makes it easier for them to get sick and harder for them to fight off sickness. When kept as well-cared for indoor pets, FIV+ cats often lead normal, healthy lives.March 25, 2026, 5:02 pm

Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
8 years old (estimated) Spayed female Had a front leg amputated. She does not require treatment. No known experience with cats, dogs, or children Has tested positive for FIV* Mango is a quiet, gentle girl who may not demand your attention, but once you start petting her (or shake the treat bag!), she’s all in. She truly loves to be loved and happily leans into every bit of affection you offer. When Mango arrived, she had a severely injured leg, likely from being caught in a leg-hold trap. Even through the pain and uncertainty, she remained incredibly sweet. Thanks to our medical team, her leg was amputated and she’s now able to live a comfortable, pain-free life. She doesn’t require ongoing treatment, but her new family should make sure her food, water, and litter box are easily accessible without stairs. Keeping her at a healthy weight will also be important to protect her remaining joints and prevent future strain. Mango has already shown just how resilient and loving she is. In a caring home that looks out for her needs, she’ll be a devoted, grateful companion who proves that three legs are more than enough for a full, happy life. Mango spent time in a foster home and her foster family said "Mango is a very sweet, loving girl who LOVES to be pet. She will push herself into your hand so hard she sometimes falls flat on her face! She happily greets you at the door with adorable meows, waiting for you to give her some affection. She gets around very well and will even jump up onto cat trees and the windowsill." Thanks to a generous sponsor Mango's adoption fee has already been paid! *Mango has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). It is not contagious to people or other species of pets. It is passed from cat to cat by deep bite wounds (like those inflicted during serious fights), blood transfusions, and rarely from mother cats to their kittens.

4 years old (estimated) Neutered male Needs to go home with another member of his group Looking for an outdoor home as a working/barn cat Does your barn, workshop, or outbuilding need vermin control?

Working cats are already spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and their adoption fees are waived. We simply ask that you provide food, shelter, and keep an eye on your feline employees to make sure they stay safe and healthy for the rest of their lives.March 12, 2026, 3:46 pm

Story
2 years old (estimated) Spayed female Has done well with other cats at the shelter No known experience with dogs or children Catherine is a friendly girl with a slightly reserved side at first, but give her a little time and she quickly warms up. Once she’s comfortable, she’s all about attention, happily enjoying pets and joining in on playtime. She has a playful streak and especially loves chasing after a wand toy, running and jumping until she’s ready to settle in for a cozy nap nearby. Catherine has done well with other cats and would make a lovely companion for a patient adopter who will give her the time she needs to shine. Catherine has been waiting a while to find her family so her adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take her home!March 25, 2026, 5:02 pm
