Story
Honey & Maple- A sweet, shy bonded pair ready to flourish.Meet Honey and Maple- two gentle souls with hearts as warm as their names. These best friends are a bonded pair, quietly navigating the world side by side. While they're on the shy side, there's something incredibly special about the way they support comfort each other. Honey is soft and cautious, preferring cozy corners and quiet observation. Maple is a little braver, peeking out first to investigate new things- but she always checks to make sure Honey is close behind. They're a perfect example of how companionship brings courage. Life in the shelter has been a bit overwhelming for them, and they're patiently waiting for a calm, loving home where they can truly relax and let their personalities blossom. With time, gentle affection, and a peaceful space, these two will reward you with trust, affection, and the quiet joy of watching them grow more confident every day. If you've got a soft spot for the shy ones and believe in the beauty of letting cats bloom in their own time, Honey and Maple just might be your perfect match!

Story
There's a gentle magic about Luna. The kind that fills a quiet room with warmth, that wraps around you like a soft blanket on a cold night. She's a plush, affectionate girl with a heart far bigger than her body - and yes, there's a lot of her to love.Luna is, quite literally, larger than life. She's a very overweight cat, and while that might bring a giggle at first glance, it's something we take very seriously - because her extra pounds are putting a painful strain on her joints, and if she can't lose the weight, she will need surgery to fix her cruciate. But here's the hopeful part: her vets believe that with the right home, the right heart, and the right care... she may be able to avoid surgery altogether.Luna needs someone who will root for her, every single day. She needs an owner who will stick to her vet-prescribed diet (no sneaky bites from other cats' bowls!), help her find gentle ways to move and stretch, and be her cheerleader through the ups and downs of her weight-loss journey.Because Luna gives love so freely, so completely, it's impossible not to fall for her. She adores people. She will melt into your lap like butter. She'll purr into your hand like it's the only thing that matters. She loves soft beds, warm sunbeams, and just being near you. Luna can live with other cats, as long as they respect her new meal plan - NO food-sharing allowed!Luna is more than ready to give you all of her heart - and if you're willing, she'll give you the most rewarding journey of your life, she just needs your help! Luna is looking for a foster to adopt home! Primary Color: Brown Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 7.82 Age: 5yrs 1mths 1wks
