Story
Buddy came to us as a stray. He was affectionate from the start. Loves attention, belly rubs, talking, sounds like he's asking questions, curious on what you are doing. Gets the zoomies. Buddy is not the problem. My older cats will not accept him no matter how hard we try to introduce them. He tries so hard to be their friend and never has been aggressive. The only time he will get aggressive is if they hit him first then he will fight back. But otherwise he is chill. We have a kitten that he plays with very well, cleans her, and there are no issue. We love him but it isn't fair for him have to be in a bedroom by himself all the time. We do switch him out so he can run and play but he needs a home that is HIS, that he can play and sleep where he wants. He is an orange cat through and through but please do not adopt him if you don't like a talkative, playful, belly rub demanding, curious cat. I want him to have other playmates and people that love him like he deserves.

Story
5-7 years old (estimated) Spayed female Has coexisted well with confident cats at the shelter Does best with respectful children No known experience with dogs Has tested positive for FIV* Vanilla Chai Latte 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 and will greet you with headbutts and purrs. She does enjoy playing with toys on her own, and it’s even more fun for her when people join in, especially with a wand toy she can chase and pounce on. When it’s time to wind down, she loves to curl up with you at bedtime and prefers to be the big spoon! Vanilla Chai Latte has coexisted with other cats at the shelter and is mostly content to keep to herself and ignore them. She does best with confident cats who respect her boundaries and give her space. If you’re looking for a cat who will fill your days with soft snuggles and steady companionship, Vanilla Chai Latte is ready to step right in and become a beloved part of your life. Thanks to a generous sponsor Vanilla Chai Latte's adoption fee has already been paid! *Vanilla Chai Latte 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.May 2, 2026, 5:21 pm

House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
2 years old (estimated) Spayed female No known experience with cats, dogs, or children Would likely do best in a calm home Coletta is a lovely girl who’s still finding her footing in the busy shelter environment. Right now, she feels safest curled up in her cozy spot, taking things in from a distance. But once you start petting her, a different side of her begins to shine. She leans into your hand, starts purring, and even makes biscuits, showing just how sweet and affectionate she truly is. She’s already beginning to open up more each day, and it’s clear there’s so much more to her personality waiting to blossom. In a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe, Coletta will settle in much more quickly and gain confidence. With a little patience and understanding, Coletta will grow into a loving companion who brings gentle affection and quiet comfort to your home.May 2, 2026, 5:21 pm

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
2 years old (estimated) Spayed female Looking for a home as a working cat Becomes agitated when seeing other cats No known experience with dogs or children Orangina is a fiery redhead with a big personality and very clear opinions, and at the top of that list is her desire to return to the great outdoors. Life inside a home just isn’t her style, and she’s much happier with fresh air, space to roam, and a job to do. She’s looking for a place where she can put her natural instincts to good use as a rodent control expert, whether that’s a barn, garage, workshop, or other outbuilding. Independent and driven, Orangina is ready to take on the role and keep your space critter-free. In return, she’s simply asking for the basics: food, water, a safe shelter, and someone to keep an eye on her wellbeing. Give her the environment she needs, and Orangina will thrive while providing a valuable service and bringing a little extra personality to your property. Orangina's adoption fee has been waived!May 2, 2026, 5:21 pm
