Story
Hi! I'm Ebony! I came from a hoarding situation, and I'm used to being around kitties all the time. It's my comfort zone to have a friend with me, so I need to go home with another kitty — OR — to another kitty (if you already have a buddy for me at home). This will help my transition out of shelter life as I continue to work on trust and letting go of that difficult time in my life. I am bonded with Earl, and we do need to go home together. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Story
Hi! I'm Caroline! I am one of the original kitties that opened the shelter. (I guess you can call me an "OG"!) I am a beautiful brown tabby girl, with gorgeous green eyes. But I like my space—no touchy, please. I'm not mean, but I can get scared easily. I have had people sing "Sweet Caroline" to me. My face may look unimpressed ... but I secretly love the attention. I need a calm, chill home—and I would do great with another kitty. I have been around kitties all my life, and we can help each other learn and grow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Story
Hi! I'm McDreamy! I am a handsome orange tabby boy who looks like he might have a life story or two to tell. (And I do!) I came from a house full of 40 cats. Our owner passed away, leaving all of us needing a new place to live. So here I am! I am a timid boy—preferring to spend my day in a comfortable sleeping cubby. I'd love a quiet and comfy home with a sleeping spot just for me. (And maybe it's near a window to watch the birdies? But I'm not picky.) I've had a rough life, and I know I'm not the most social kitty. But I'd still like a chance to get and give love ... even if it's in my own way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Story
Hi! I'm Miller! I was found outside as a feral kitten with my siblings, and brought into a foster home. (The outside is no place for young kittens!) And then we began our journey to adoptable. It takes a lot of work to make a feral kitten friendly! Now that we are in the shelter, we have had our share of new kitten friends come and go. I am still a bit timid, but I am learning as I go. I enjoy playtime, and I am a curious kitty. There was a toy that sped around the kitten room, bumping into things and changing direction, then zooming across the room again. I liked that toy, and I would follow it around! What I may not have in a perky bedside manner I can make up with other cool things. Like if you have a jar of pickles you need to open, I have the paws to help. Oh, did I not mention that? I am a 4-paw polydactyl ... which means I have extra toes on ALL my paws. My front paws look like mittens—with thumbs! So I look like I could open jars and stuff. (I mean, if I was allowed in the pantry. I *am* still a cat.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Story
Hi! I'm O.W. I am one of 40 cats taken in from a hoarding house. I lived in the basement with 6 other cats—never seeing daylight, or even a window before. I pretty much had nothing—not even a bed to lay in. And now I get to explore the whole shelter, jumping up by the windows to watch the birdies! And you know what else? There's a water fountain at the shelter ... and I LOVE it! There is usually a line of kitties waiting to grab a drink, and that's because I'm the one taking my sweet time with my turn. I have so much more now at the shelter than I did before, but that doesn't mean I don't still deserve *my* forever home. I may not want to cuddle or be a lap kitty, but I would love to spend my days in a home of my own, with a window or two and some spaces to explore. And maybe one more thing ... How about a water fountain? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Gemera is a fun and spunky girl! She has all the energy in the world and loves to run and play! Gemera would do wonderfully in a home that already has a playmate for her, or a dedicated pet parent willing to provide proper stimulation to support her. Gemera loves children and would make a great family cat. She is a polydactyl, so she has extra toes, giving her super cute mittens on her feet!
