Story
Betsy Ross, is a spunky and patriotic kitten with a passion to make history. If she had thumbs, I imagine she would be a great seamstress. However, I didn’t name her after the historical Betsy Ross, she’s been named after the character from the Sleepy Hollow tv show. And that Betsy was an adventurous sexy super spy. Kitten Betsy is similar, she is a loyal and brave companion who will always have your back in any adventure. She is very clever and loves to figure out puzzles and challenges. Compared to my other current rescues Betsy has a little extra spunk, and does what she wants when she wants. One of her favorite activities is to play tag and hide-n-seek; but if she thinks that you can’t find her, she’ll come looking for you! She is looking for a loving home where she can be part of your family and history.

Story
Hello, I'm Cutie! I'm full of life and energy. My days are spent exploring every nook and cranny, satisfying my curiosity. I'm brave and independent, venturing out on my own, but I also love a good cuddle. I'm smart, figuring out puzzles in no time. My goofiness makes everyone laugh, and my sweet nature wins hearts. I'm FIV positive, but don't worry, I'm still the same playful, loving Cutie. I promise to fill your home with laughter, love, and a little bit of mischief. Adopt me and let's create beautiful memories together!

Hi, my name is Fletcher! I'm an independent and playful cat. I love playing with toys, especially wand toys. Sometimes when I'm playing, I mistake your hands for toys so I'll need to be redirected to an actual toy.

Story
Freckles was part of a huge animal neglect case in a local county and our rescue took in 17 animals. He is a great cat and very loving but can be a bully to other cats. He enjoys being outside but we find he has snuck in all the time so we think he would love to transition to an inside baby.

Story
Dakota came to the rescue as a kitten over 2 years ago with her sister. They were not sociable and disliked the Petsmart environment so after a while we just stopped taking them. Recently, during vaccine updates we noticed Dakota seemed much more friendly and loving so she is back on the list and available. She has waited a long time.

Story
Darcy showed up at someone's house and they thought she was a kitten. Turns out she was an adult and possibly had already had a litter of kittens herself. Darcy is the most mild mannered and sweet cat I have ever brought into my rescue. Right away she was fine with all the other cats and is very affectionate and loving. She keeps to herself but when approached is always ready to kiss your hand

Story
These 2 sweet little girls are approximately 12 weeks old as of 05/12/2024. They were separated from their mother at 4-5 weeks, had been weaned and have been kept indoors with other cats since that time. Both are Graduates of The Kitten Shelter Diversion Program therefore are up to date on vaccination and have been spayed. Both are energetic, friendly, playful and fun. They sleep well at night! They do well with their fountain and have no problems with wet or dry kitten food (or occasional treats) They are box trained. These 2 are bonded, so I prefer they go to a good home as a pair and remain indoor cats. Both are mostly white making them highly visible to predators. Strictly Indoor only please. **There is a negotiable $50.00 adoption fee just to help cover some costs of their care until now which won't register on the site form.

Story
Wasabi is the sweetest cat you'll ever meet! He loves snuggles and sitting in your lap. He was adopted from a shelter and we are devastated to have to rehome him, but our housing situation has suddenly changed and we cannot take him with us on the road. He is such a good boy and deserves a loving home with someone who has time to cuddle and play with him. The vet told us he is overweight, but otherwise healthy, so an adopter will need to watch his food portions, but he doesn't require any special medical care. He is very active and likes to play, but is not much of a climber. His favorite place to be other than your lap is in a simple box or hidey. He has always been an inside cat so an adopter will need to be willing to keep him fully inside. He's always been friendly and curious with strangers and loves attention and pets. He is friendly with other cats and reliably uses his litter box and scratch blocks for scratching.
