Story
Brief Bio:Honey was picked up as a very pregnant 7 month old stray and gave birth in the shelter the next day! We brought her and her kittens home to foster care the next day.Summary of Personality: Honey is such a joy. She is incredibly gentle and affectionate - in the four months she`s been with us she has never hissed or scratched, and was comfortable from day one with me handling her body and her kittens. She likes to be near people, and even though she can be a tiny bit shy at first, she loves being hand fed treats and will warm up very quickly. She loves breakfast in bed, chasing toys, and curling up next to you as you read. She`s not a big fan of being picked up, but she is very trusting and tolerates it well.Even though she was a stray it is clear that she was socialized as a pet and not a feral cat. I don`t know how she ended up on the street or how long she was there, but she would probably do best as an inside cat since she may be prone to wandering.Home Life (experience with kids & other pets, etc): She is a phenomenal mother to her kittens, so I would imagine that she would do well with other cats. She has been well socialized with humans, both adults and children. She has seen our dogs but not interacted with them - I imagine she could get comfortable with a canine companion, but I can`t say for sure.Include any observations: Honey ended up having a serious uterine infection on day four postpartum that required an emergency spay surgery, but she recovered beautifully! She does have one kidney that may have been impacted by the infection, so please always make sure that she has plenty of fresh water to drink. She is very good at using her litter box and staying tidy.Is your foster litter box trained?: Yes

Segundo is 3 yrs old. He will be 4 in April 2026. He is very loving, loves attention, he will greet you the moment you walk in the door. I wish I could keep him but he needs an owner that can give him the time and attention he deserves.

Story
Luci is a sweet, indoor cat and will never leave your side. She's very well litter trained, a little slow to warm (loves hiding under beds), but once you give her some scritches, she'll forget all her fears and become the most adorable lap cat. I got her when she was around 5.5 months old, got her to all of her vet appointments, and she's now about 3.5 years old and is such a beauty. She likes sleeping on my legs and looking out the window. She has the zoomies at around 8:30pm everyday before she settles for a long nap. Her new home hopefully has a lot of windows and high places to sit. She's never been in a house with other pets or children long-term. She keeps herself busy and away from whoever and whatever she is afraid of. For the kids who have pet her, it has always been under supervision. It's breaking my heart to part from her, as she has been my sole companion the past three years. The adoption fee will be used to set Luci up for success in your new home!

Story
“Hi everyone, this is Ivy. She came from foster care and didn’t have a name, so we gave her the name Ivy. I recently adopted her from the animal shelter thinking she’d be the perfect fit for our family, but I found out I’m very allergic and my symptoms have gotten really bad. Ivy is fixed, fully vaccinated, and healthy. She’s amazing with kids and very friendly with other cats. She’s gentle, sweet, and loves being around people. She’s still young and adjusting, but she’s such a loving girl. I really want Ivy to go to a safe, caring, and responsible home. If you or someone you know is looking to add a wonderful kitty to their family, please message me. She truly deserves the best home.”

Story
Bubbles is a sweet, affectionate little guy who just wants love and attention. We found him as a kitten under our back porch in 2021, and he quickly became part of our busy household with three dogs and two additional cats. He bonded well with our other cats, but he was always frightened of the dogs, so we set up a system where the dogs stayed downstairs and the cats had their own safe space upstairs. Over the past four years, our older kids have moved out, along with the other upstairs cat. Now Bubbles spends most of his time alone upstairs, and he has become so lonely. We don't have the time to give him the companionship he needs, and our remaining kids at home aren't animal people. Bubbles deserves a home where he can be around people or other cats who will give him the affection he craves. We love him deeply and just want him to have the happy, social life he's meant to have.

Story
Little is a female tuxedo kitty with a great personality. She is cuddly, friendly, and brave. She doesn't hide from people and she "talks" a lot. She lays at your feet and flips over for a belly rub. She will let you pick her up. She is small and chubby but full-grown so she will be super cute for life. She will do best in a home where she is the only kitty, and she is indoor only - she doesn't know how to fend for herself outside. We found her and got her healthy. She is available for adoption immediately. If everyone feels like it's a good fit, you can take her home with a large cat tree that smells familiar to her. NOTE: she is indoor only. She is perfectly litter box trained-never had an accident.

Story
Nico was rescued from a feral cat colony as a kitten. She is 17 years old & has arthritis. She sleeps & eats, but doesn't really play much anymore. She needs a food that is made for hairballs. She especially enjoys wet food that is chicken or tuna flavored. Unfortunately, I have become more disabled in the past year & lost my job. I have a hard time giving her the care that she needs.
