Baby is a sweet, affectionate girl who is ready to find her next home. According to her previous owners, she is a total cuddle bug who loves being close to her people. When she wants attention, Baby will happily give you gentle head boops to ask for pets—her favorite way to say “I love you.” Baby enjoys playing with toys and also loves spending time gazing out the window, watching the world go by. She has gone outside on occasion and could enjoy a home where she can safely continue that enrichment if her new family allows or she can be an indoor only cat if you choose. One of her cutest quirks? She comes running when you call her name or make kissing noises—she’s bilingual and very responsive to her people! Baby did well with kids and enjoys being part of the action with her family. She has not lived with other animals, so a slow and thoughtful introduction would be recommended if there are pets in her future home. If you’re looking for a loving, people-oriented cat who will cuddle, play, and come when called, Baby might be the perfect match for you. Ready to Adopt?

We looked outside our kitchen window one afternoon a couple of months ago to find this gorgeous little floof sunning herself on the hood of our car. We put out food for ferals (and get them fixed!) but we had never seen her before. Upon investigation, she was clearly feral but young enough that we could trap her and bring her inside. Madonna is what is known as a Spirit Cat: she was born outside and had no human contact in her critical first two months, leaving her wary of humans. She is not aggressive and is tolerant of human company, frequently climbing on the bed with me or approaching me curiously. However, she is skittish around people, does not like to be approached, and will probably never be a lap cat. She absolutely loves other cats and would be a great companion for a young playful cat or kitten who is in need of a friend. She would love to find a home with her friend Noel, also a Spirit Cat, and we would offer a discounted adoption fee to an adopter willing to take them together. However, Madonna would do well in any calm, patient home with a playful cat and without young children. She would be perfect for someone who already has an affectionate lap cat who is lonely and looking for another cat to play with. Madonna is so beautiful that simply admiring her from a distance makes us all feel honored! She is a long-haired beauty who has some Ragdoll features.     May 18, 2025, 8:58 pm

Meet Maria the Boy! They thought he was a girl the first few months of his life, but he learned his name quickly because he won't respond to anything else. Maria is a friendly and social boy who loves to be around the action. He loves head scratches and playing with the other cats in the home. He has experience with children, other cats, and small dogs! Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?

Meet Shadow! He is a shy boy who usually bonds to one person in the family and imprints on them. He will follow them around and become their literal Shadow. I wonder where his name came from? He loves filing his nails on cardboard boxes, and he can tolerate little humans, too. He has experience with other cats, and small dogs. But we still recommend a slow introduction to any new animal friends. Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home.
