Story
Meet Maxine, a resilient cat who faced a challenging start in life, but with the support of her foster mom, she transformed into a wonderful feline friend. Max's early days were tough, but her foster mom showered her with love and care, turning her life around and providing a warm and nurturing environment. Possessing the typical independent nature of cats, Max displayed a mind of her own, exploring her surroundings with curiosity and a hint of mischief. Despite her independent streak, Max had a sweet side, surprising everyone by transforming into a snuggle bug when the mood struck, showcasing her affectionate and loving nature. Max's journey from a rough beginning to a delightful and loving cat is a testament to the transformative power of care and compassion in the lives of our furry friends. This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $150.

Meet Gruyere! This cutie has a sturdy and firm temperament with a slight cheesy nature. Named after cheeses Gruyere and her sister Colby are ready to be adopted by loving families! These darling sisters came from a cat colony and are still discovering trust and love. Shy but oh-so-sweet, they thrive in tranquil environments. Gruyere is extremely shy and would do best with an owner who understands this. She would make a great barn cat due to her shyness and slow-moving nature around humans. ONLY AVAILABLE IN TEXAS This cat can only be adopted in the state of Texas and has an adoption fee of $100.

Story
Penny is a sweet, short-haired tortoiseshell cat. She spends her days sunning herself and playing with her yorkipoo friend, Louie. She has been a wonderful cat who has grown up with our family and been loved dearly by our children. She's used to a home with lots of activity and does well adjusting when there's a party or children running around! She's very quiet and independent. Our family situation has recently changed and we are looking for a loving family to adopt Penny. She receives a dose of insulin daily as a treatment for diabetes. She is up-to-date on her shots and has been spayed. She would make a wonderful companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend.

Story
Beaker is a sweet and brave little stray girl found in Oct at about 6 months old. She'd try to play with my current cat through the glass on my sliding door and eventually just walked in when I opened it. She loves attention and playing with other cats. Still has kitten energy so toys and attention from you or another cat are needed. Once her energy is gone she is content to be a lap cat. She is also very vocal when it is food or play time. She hasn't had much interest in trying to go outside. She has her shots and has been spayed recently so the cat carrier terrifies her. Also not a fan of being picked up and held. Trimming nails since the day she walked in and hasn't been an issue. Loves butt scratches. Tummy is a no no. Loves to fetch. TLDR Likes: -toys -butt scratches -laying in your lap -fetching -lasers -other cats -food Dislikes: -carrier -being in water -picking up -tummy touch -vacuum

Moomin. Available for adoption now.  Gets along with my resident cat. It appears he may not be used to dogs & loud noises are a little scary but he’s gaining confidence daily.  (Or it could just be my annoying beagles!)  He has a medium coat with beautiful green eyes. He lets me brush him which he will require. He said it feels so good!!!March 27, 2024, 9:27 am
