Story
Zero, Lune, and Leven are from the same litter. They came to us along with their mama, and we got them TNR. But after seeing how friendly they are, we decided to help them find a home. They are about 7 months old. Zero is shy at first, but once he is comfortable, he will lie on your lap/chest or beside you and ask for affection. He likes being held and would stand up to let you know or wait for you to sit down, likes playing with wand toys, and does well with nail trimming. Zero is sweet, playful and full of life. We are hoping to find them a loving home they deserve.

Hello! My name is Kiwi and I'm about 8 years old. I'm a very talkative boy, especially when I'm feeling strong emotions. The shelter environment is stressful for me, so you might find me hiding in the small portion of my kennel. I really like treats and feather toys. I have lived with cats previously. I enjoy being pet on my own terms and only on my head. Do you want to meet me? Interested in adopting? Visit our shelter during open hours and ask about Kiwi A058016March 19, 2025, 7:47 pm

Hello! My name is Mitzi and I'm an 8 year old cat. The shelter environment is very stressful for me so I may not be the most welcoming initially, but I am a very sweet girl. I love cheek and chin scritches. Once I warm up to you, I am a lap cat and I like to give playful little nips to my friends. Interested in adopting?

Story
River is a sweet cat born with an abundance of resilience. At 9 months old, River weighed as much as a healthy 3-month-old kitten. Since in foster care, he has gotten his weight up and grown out of his shell. River is extremely affectionate with humans and cats of all ages. He loves to sleep beside his foster mom and will likely brush against your leg for pets. He enjoys chasing toy mice, playing with feather wand toys, and eating fish-flavored wet food. He loves being pet, especially on his head and back, and he’ll also want to curl up on your lap. He would pair well with a friend around his age or younger.

Story
Rocky is a 10 year old and 9.8 pound cat who is looking for his forever home. Rocky looks like he has seen some stuff...and he probably has! He was found as a stray and has all the demeanor of a streetwise tiger! Rocky doesn`t let anyone tell him what to do and he does things to the beat of his own drum. He would love a home that respects his independent nature. After a life of living on the edge, he just wants somewhere to lay his head at. If having your own manly wild cat around sounds like your thing, he would love to be your kindred spirit!Rocky`s adoption fee is sponsored in loving memory of Caramel. That means he is free to adopt!I have no known history with dogs, but may do well with them with a slow introduction.I lived with cats in my previous home and may do well with a slow introduction.I have no known history with kids, but may do well with them with a slow introduction.

Meet Jack, the coolest cat I would love to see the world through Jack’s eyes, his infectious positive attitude brings great joy to our household. He loves to play with new toys, humans, and other cats. He has near-endless energy and is always on the lookout for the next adventure or a bowl of food. He is very independent and confident until he is ready for lovings. Then he will chirp and ask for attention and pets, as can be seen below. If you are looking for a cat to sit and admire, he is it. Jack is a 10-month-old male tuxedo. He has been neutered, dewormed, has all his vaccinations up to date, and is ready to bring energy to his new home.

Story
Meet Poe, the softest cuddle buddy Poe is the warmest, cuddliest cat who melts in your arms like a slice of butter on flapjacks. This handsome boy loves being picked up and taken on tours around the house and loves sleeping in bed with us. Poe likes calm, quiet environments. His purring engine is always on, waiting for love. He likes being around other cats but also wants his personal space. Poe is a 1-year-old male tuxedo. He has been neutered, dewormed, has all his vaccinations up to date, and is rea Jack Jack is 4 months and Rocky is 7 months old. Jack Jack has a white mouth/nose, and Rocky has a white mustache. Jack & Rocky were part of a colony we began feeding 3 months ago in Elk Grove, and during our TNR event - we noticed how sweet and social they were. So rather than release them, we began fostering them. While we are open to adopting them separately, if they are able to go to a home together, or a home with another cat, that would be the best option for these social boys.
