Story
Sweetheart is a resilient kitten with a story that will melt your heart. When she first arrived in her foster home, she was very fearful of handling and unsure about people, but with patience and love, she’s blossomed into a confident, affectionate little companion. Today, Sweetheart enjoys the comfort of her foster family and has even made friends with the other pets in the home! She loves observing the world around her and curling up in cozy spots once she feels safe. Sweetheart will thrive in a calm, adult-only home with adopters who understand that she may need time to decompress and adjust to her new environment. Because she can be skittish around fast movements and loud noises, a peaceful household will help her feel secure and continue building confidence. If you’re willing to give her the patience and gentle care she deserves, she’ll reward you with trust, companionship, and endless sweetness. Are you ready to give Sweetheart the loving forever home she’s been waiting for? Her adoption fee is $175 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market

Story
Salma is a lovely young cat, about a year and a half old, who has already done the hard work of raising her babies. Now it’s her turn to be cared for, cherished, and welcomed into a calm, loving home where she can enjoy the cozy housecat life she deserves. Shy at first, Salma is the kind of girl who blooms with a little patience. Her curiosity helps her come out of her shell, and once she feels safe, her affectionate side shines through. She enjoys gentle pets, leans into attention, and is comfortable with all kinds of handling, even being picked up for a cuddle. Salma is also food‑motivated, which can make early bonding and socialization easier as she gets to know new people. Because she’s a timid soul, she’s looking for a quieter home with adults or children 13 and up who can give her the space and understanding she needs to feel confident. If you’re hoping for a sweet, soft‑spoken companion who will reward your patience with trust and love, Salma may be the perfect addition to your family. My adoption fee is $125 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market

Story
Meet Nero! Nero is a sweet 2-year-old boy who’s looking for a patient and loving family to help him feel secure. He’s a little shy at first and may prefer to hide until he feels comfortable, but with time (and treats!) his affectionate side will shine through. Nero is curious and enjoys toys and fast-moving play once he feels safe. He’s also friendly with other cats, which can help him feel more confident in a new home. His ideal family would include teens 13+ or adults who understand that trust takes time and are willing to give him the space he needs to blossom. If you’re looking for a gentle, treat-motivated companion who will reward your patience with love, Nero could be the perfect match!

Story
Hot Honey is a stunning orange beauty who’s as bold as her name suggests. She’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy: affectionate and talkative, but with a little sass to keep things interesting! She loves attention and will happily soak up pets, but when she’s feeling a bit overwhelmed, she might switch between growls and purrs, which is her way of saying, “I need a breather.” With patience and understanding, you’ll discover her true charm. Hot Honey is looking for a calm, cat-savvy home where she can reign as the one and only pet. She’ll thrive in a household with adults or teens who respect her need for space and appreciate her unique personality. If you’re ready for a lively companion who will keep you entertained with her big voice and even bigger attitude, Hot Honey might just be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Sassy — Your Stealthy Sweetheart Sassy earned her nickname “Ninja” for a reason. When she first arrived, she could vanish into hiding spots no human knew existed… only to reappear silently right behind you. Now that she’s blossomed, this former wallflower has become a full‑on pet‑me monster who adores gentle affection, long cuddle sessions, and purring you into a nap. She loves bird‑watching from her kitty shelf, supervising the neighborhood from the front door, and sprinting through the house with her feline friends. At night, she sleeps in her own bed right beside yours—independent, but always close. Treat time is her favorite sport: toss a treat, and she’ll snatch it mid‑air like the tiny huntress she is. Rolling toys, especially her feathered Christmas ball, are pure joy. Sassy gets along with select cats, has even helped shy kitties come out of their shell, and has learned to coexist with the resident dog.
