Story

Barry is a sleek all-gray gentleman (with a cute little white locket!) who’s currently living that outdoor life—but make no mistake, this 2-year-old is determined to be an indoor cat. He runs inside at every opportunity, curls up on pillows like he pays rent, and keeps up with the family dog on long walks like he’s part of the squad (yes, panting and all). He’s a lover—rubbing against legs, chatting up a storm, even letting you pick him up. But he's also a bit of a wildcard. Barry sometimes gets overstimulated and swats with claws out, no warning unless you know what to look for. That’s why he needs a cat-savvy foster who can read his signals and give him the space (and training) he needs to settle into home life. He’s mostly chill with other cats but can get a little territorial. And the litter box? Still a work in progress—but he’s trying, we swear. Got experience, patience, and a pillow to spare? Barry’s ready to turn in his outdoor badge and try life indoors—with your help.

Story

*Outdoors Only* David is an easygoing, affectionate guy who gets along with everyone — humans, cats, even the occasional visitor. He’s into pets, fine with being scooped up, and will gladly hang out near you… just not in your lap. Honestly, David checks every box for an ideal indoor cat — except one: he has absolutely zero interest in using a litter box. We've tried. He’s tried. It’s just not happening. So he’s looking for a forever outdoor setup where his sparkling personality can shine and his paws stay firmly outside. Bonus: you’ll never forget mealtimes with David around — he won’t let you.

Story

*Outdoors Only* Jan is basically the golden retriever of outdoor cats — charming, cuddly (on his terms), and a pro at making himself at home. He’ll greet you with a leg rub, especially when food is involved, and his favorite hobbies include climbing trees and napping in hilariously dramatic positions. While he can use a litter box when brought inside for storms, it’s not his vibe — even with sedatives, being indoors stresses him out. That’s why he’s looking for a safe, outdoor home where he can thrive in his natural element. Jan would be a wonderful backyard companion for someone with a big heart and a little space to share.

Story

If Viola could write poetry, it would be a sonnet about you. This black-and-white beauty with a heart-shaped nose has perfected the art of the dramatic flop — tilting her head, throwing her tiny legs in the air, and melting into the floor just to win your love (and, let’s be honest, some solid petting time). Viola is FIV+, but don’t let that stop you — she’s happy, healthy, and full of life. In fact, when she first came to us pregnant, someone suggested she be euthanized. We said absolutely not. And thank goodness, because she has become one of the sweetest cats we’ve ever met. She’ll cling to you like Velcro, gaze into your soul like she’s found the one, and gently grasp your shirt if you even think about walking away. Yes, she makes biscuits. Yes, she has arthritis (she’s on pain meds for that). And yes, she can get a little spicy when she doesn’t get her way. But we get it — she's just madly in love. Viola would do best with someone who doesn’t mind a little clinginess and a lot of affection. If you're ready for a cat who gives 110% of her heart (and maybe your lap), Viola is waiting to flop for you.

Story

*Need a Foster Only* Stacey is a 5-year-old torbie with a heart full of potential and a soft spot for her fellow felines. She’s the kind of girl who brushes up against her cat friends and can be won over with snacks (a true foodie). Once she trusts you, she’ll reward your patience with sweet headbutts and slow-blink affection. She even enjoys gentle pets — but only if you move like molasses and approach with one hand. She's not a fan of being picked up (understatement), so meds and carriers are a bit of a dance — best tackled by a tag team. Her weakened sense of smell from past trauma makes outdoor colony life unsafe for her, so she’s counting on us to help her find a calm, cozy home where she can blossom into the lap cat we know she could be. With fewer cats and a little time, Stacey could go from “look, don’t touch” to “can I sit on you forever?”

Story

Primrose may be under 8 pounds, but don’t let her size fool you — this little survivor has a warrior’s heart and a gentle soul. Rescued from an abusive, neglectful home, she’s still learning that people can be kind. And once she decides you're one of the good ones? She’ll gift you with lap cuddles, stealthy hair grooming sessions, and the tiniest, most polite squeaks when it's snack o’clock. (Seriously, sometimes she squeaks with her mouth open but no sound comes out. It’s adorable.) She’s a loyal cat’s cat — playful and social with her feline peers, but not afraid to throw a paw when someone gets pushy. Whether she’s chasing socks, stalking toys with precision, or wrestling her cat buddies like a featherweight champ, Primrose is a playful spirit wrapped in soft tabby-and-white fur. She’ll need some time and patience to come out of her shell, but when she does, the love she gives is pure magic. If you're looking for a dainty, squeaky, toy-chasing lap cat who picks her people with care — Primrose might just be your girl.
