Story
Meet Peter! Peter is listed here with his brother Cottontail, if interested. They have been together since birth but at this age (8 1/2) and both their independent natures, I think they’d be ok separated. He is very loving and likes snuggling with you. He’s a vocal cat when hungry and eats wet food. He loves company and people but always ok alone and so quiet throughout the day.

Story
Hello, I'm Princess Sassy Pants! My favorite thing to do is... Run and play with my foster friends and cozy up in a lap. What makes me special is... I have the cutest face you’ve ever seen. I’m a petite little girl but don’t let that fool you, I can keep up with my big foster brothers. I’m a talker and I’ll let you know when I want your attention. I love to play with my foster brothers but I also love to watch from the sidelines in my foster Mom’s lap. I LOVE LOVE LOVE wet food and churu treats. I’m not a huge fan of being held but I love my head scratched and snuggle up with you. I am a suckler, when I’m tired I need a cozy blanket to make biscuits on and suckle I want my new owner to know... I'm a sweet, silly girl that loves to play with cats and dogs. I am social and will definitely need a friend. Once I get worn out from playing I will come snuggle in your lap. When I am feeling playful I like to.. (favorite toys): Run, jump, play and chase my foster brothers around. I love all toys, I’m not picky. The bigger the cat tree the better, I’m a brave little girl. Where do I sleep? In a cuddle puddle with my foster brothers on a cozy bed. I am good with: Cats and Dogs It is unknown if I am good with: kids By nature I am... Energetic, Cuddly, Playful, Social, Curious, and I do not like to be heldDecember 5, 2025, 9:31 pm

Story
Hello, I'm Achilles My favorite thing to do is Play hide -n-go seek... Im always the hider. I love to play and chase toys! What makes me special is I was brought into the rescue when I was only 6 weeks old after having a tragic accident that caused me to break two of my legs and mangle my tail. After many weeks in casts, a tail and a leg amputation, I recovered with only a nubby tail and a hop to show for it. I have always been a little scared of people but a really am sweet inside. I want my new owner to know I need a home with a LOT of patience. I am not the kind of kitty you bring home and start playing with. I may need weeks to feel safe and comfortable. I scare pretty easy so I will need a quiet home with no dogs or young children. Older teens would be ok. I would do best in a home where I'm the only animal. Don't let this scare you off of me! Once I'm sure everything is OK, I am the biggest love bug! I will want to be pet, snuggled, scratched and belly rubbed! My foster mom put her bed on the floor so I wouldn't hide under there while I was adjusting and it is just low enough that I can climb up. I love to watch TV with my people at night while they give me love. Then I get down and play with all my toys. When I am feeling playful I like to… I love stuffed mice, anything I can hit and then chase after, krinkle balls and string. I love to chase bottle caps too. When it is time to rest I sleep I sleep on the bed or in my hiding spot. I am not only a 3 legged cat, I'm also a chubby 3 legged cat. I never really got the hang of climbing after my accident. I can do stairs and low shelves but tall cat trees are not recommended. When I get spooked, I dart and if I'm up high...I just face-plant. Grace isn't in my vocabulary. I am good with Kids, Cats and I am not good with or unsure around Dogs By nature I am… Energetic, Playful, Very Shy, Loud, Affectionate.November 5, 2024, 10:00 pm

Story
Meet Aragorn! My favorite thing to do is... Lean in for attention and head scratches What makes me special is... I am a big boy with a big personality to match. Some people refer to me as 'the boss' since I do like to be in charge. I was adopted from the rescue when I was a kitten, but have been returned due to my family losing their home. This has caused me to be a little stressed out and upset. When I feel my life is settled in my new home, it is very likely I will revert to a less tumultuous personality. I want my new owner to know... I can be very loving but sometimes I can be a little moody. I do not like to be picked up, but I do love to be petted. When I am not in mood to be petted, I will let you know. When I am feeling playful I like to.. (favorite toys): Play with the feather toy. Where do I sleep? I can often be found laying on the cat tower. I am good with: Cats and Dogs I am NOT good with: Kids By nature I am... Shy and I do not like to be heldJanuary 3, 2026, 12:10 pm

Story
Meet Keen! My favorite thing to do is... Snuggle! I demand affection from my favorite people. I rub up against their feet and legs and want all the pets. What makes me special is... I came from an unsafe neighborhood. My two brothers were trapped first, and the trapper thought she had all of us until she heard me crying all by myself. I don't like to be alone! I would be happiest in a home with another friendly cat. Everyone thought I might be a boy at first, because 80% of cats that are completely orange are male. I beat the odds and am one of those rarer orange gals. I want my new owner to know... I haven't fully overcome my feral roots. Although I am incredibly sweet with people I trust, I do have a fear of anything trap-like (that was a traumatic day), so I will fight going into a carrier and hide in new surroundings until I feel secure. I hide when I am startled, so no young children for me. They move to quickly and unpredictably. I'm ok with kids over ten. I am okay with mellow dogs, but will run or swipe if an enthusiastic one chases me. Once I feel safe, I come out and want to be pet and loved, but prefer all four feet on the ground. I will let my inner circle people pick me up, but mostly I want to be pet on the ground or couch. I'll flop on my side and purr and lean in for cheek rubs. I want to be fed treats and talked to like I'm the most precious thing, because I pretty much am. When I am feeling playful I like to.. (favorite toys): chase around anything that rolls and bat at wand toys Where do I sleep? curled up in cozy cat houses or beds. I am good with: Cats, Dogs, and Kids By nature I am... Playful, Cuddly, I do not like to be heldSeptember 25, 2025, 6:16 pm
