Story
Sabrina would be a wonderful cat for you if you could be patient with her. She enjoys being petted and picked up if you approach her slowly and reassure her that everything is fine. She has spent a few months in foster care and is now ready to find a home. She was discovered in a colony back in July and taken to be spayed. Since her rescuer hated the idea of returning her to an undesirable area, they contacted us, and we were able to find her a foster home.July 19, 2026, 12:19 pm

Story
Honey is a very sweet cat who has a sassy side and likes playing with a wand toy. She would enjoy going to a home with access to a catio. When Honey's owner was unable to take all of her cats with her when she had to move out of her house, Honey was left homeless. She and a few other cats, including Gracie, were surrendered to us. Every other cat was adopted or relocated to a sanctuary. Honey would prefer a home with only one or two other cats that will allow her to be queen. Honey occasionally has a leaky eye which the vet determined is from herpes virus. To help with that, she gets lysine in her meals as needed.July 19, 2026, 12:19 pm

Story
Salem is a good sweet cat. Unfortunately we have an older dog who he likes to torment, so he needs a dog free home. He is good with my older teenage children but I have not experienced him around littles so I don’t know if he will tolerate them or not. He is very affectionate with his family and a little slow to warm up to strangers as most cats are. We love him but are afraid my older dog may harm him so it’s time to find him a safe home. We think he is about 6 years old.

Story
Phantom is a beautiful grey tabby boy under a year old. Phantom is social and outgoing. He is young, playful, energetic, seeks attention and scratches. The laser light is one of Phantoms favorite toys, chasing it throughout the house. He also likes to cuddle. He is young and still learning his manners. He did have a dog friend, I have not seen him interact with dogs. He does have a cat friend, Ghost. They are not a bonded pair. He is an inside cat and has not explored outdoors. I travel often for my job and am not able to keep him long term. Happy to answer any questions.

Story
Dream is a sleepyhead. She typically is found curled up in a hiding spot. She'll wake up and walk around for a bit, get some snuggles, eat, and then go back to bed. She is very calm, shy, and prefers to be in a quiet setting.We can give the new owner Dream's smart feeder and a small bag of her regular food. The feeder holds 6-lbs of dry food and you can program meals and snacks through the app. In the second picture, Dream is curled up with her brother, Dexter. She's a sweetheart.
