Story
Eevee is a diva with a dash of sweetness and a whole lot of attitude—and she owns it! This independent queen likes things on her terms, but once you earn her trust (or offer her a treat), she’ll happily accept head scratches and maybe even grace you with some affection. She’s absolutely crazy for treats, so don’t be surprised if she suddenly appears out of nowhere the second she hears a crinkle. While she enjoys attention now and then, she also values her personal space and likes to do her own thing. If you’re a fan of cats with a strong personality, a little sass, and a treat-driven love language, Eevee is your perfect match. She’s looking for a home where she can rule with grace, style, and just the right amount of attitude. Eevee is Spayed, Microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Feline Distemper vaccines!

Story
Johnny is a handsome gray and white kitten with a tender heart and a story that tugs at the soul. He and four other cats were abandoned in a cage on our lawn, left to face an uncertain future. Johnny can be cautious when meeting new people—he’s not one to hand over his heart right away. But give him patience and kindness, and you’ll see his walls come down. Once he trusts you, Johnny transforms into one of the most affectionate, loyal companions you could ask for. He leans into your touch, melts into cuddles, and loves with his whole heart. Just like his namesake, Johnny is looking for that one true person who will stick with him, through the shy moments and into the love-filled ones. If you’re ready to give him the steady, forever home he deserves, Johnny will give you a lifelong duet of love and devotion.

Story
Alfredo’s story is one of the hardest, and one of the most inspiring, to ever come through our doors. Rescued at just 5 days old from the Pasta Party home, Alfredo was critically ill, severely underweight, and battling a life-threatening case of toxoplasmosis. Most kittens with infections this advanced don’t survive… but Alfredo isn’t “most kittens.” He is a miracle. Toxoplasmosis left Alfredo visually impaired and caused neurological complications, including seizures. While treatment saved his life, he will need daily medication, monitoring, and a home willing to support him as he continues to heal. He can see shapes and contrast but struggles with detail and depth, and he’s still learning how his little paws fit into a big world. But here’s the beautiful part: Alfredo doesn’t know he’s different. He plays, explores, snuggles, and greets every new day with fearless curiosity. What Alfredo does know is how deeply he loves people. This sweet boy is incredibly dependent on human comfort. He seeks out warmth, reassurance, and physical closeness. He is happiest when someone is home, someone is near, someone is loving him. Alfredo is a giant snuggler, and being held or cuddled is how he feels safest. He has already survived more than any kitten ever should, and he did it because humans showed up for him — especially his foster mom, who continues to be his anchor, advocate, and safe place while he learns how to navigate life. Alfredo will need: • A home where someone is present often • A willingness to administer daily medications • A safe, predictable environment • Gentle understanding as he continues to grow, adapt, and learn In return, Alfredo will give you every ounce of love in his tiny body. He will curl into your arms, purr into your chest, and remind you daily what resilience looks like. If you’re searching for a cat who will bond deeply, love endlessly, and show you what it means to fight for joy… Alfredo is waiting. He has survived the impossible. Now he just needs someone to help him live the beautiful life he deserves.

Story
Clovey is a gentle, laid-back girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life: peace, quiet, and a cozy spot to nap. Being a young adult, she’s past the kitten chaos and firmly in her chill era. Clovey is an independent soul who prefers to do her own thing. She’s not overly needy and is perfectly content snoozing the day away, especially from her favorite perch at the top of the cat tree—where she can keep an eye on the world while staying above the fray. She may not be the first to ask for attention, but her calm presence brings a soothing energy to any home. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, peaceful companion who enjoys her space and her sleep, Clovey is the perfect match. She is Spayed, Microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Feline Distemper vaccines!
