Story
The kitten Panther and his sister Sissy were brought to the house by a stray. I took in from the cold two years ago. Their age is under a year. I'm looking for a home that will keep Panther and his sister together. My cat Gavin doesn't like them. That's why I can't keep them. Trying to give Gavin peace. Very playful with each other. Beautiful kittens. He sounds like he is singing when he wants something. Sissy is a female short hair calico. Use Panther profile. She loves to be held. Sissy is smaller than Panther. Likes touching your face with her paw. They both are indoor and outdoor kittens.

Story
Biscuit and Gravy are bonded brothers adopted from KHS in August 2023 (born around Derby 2023). Indoor-only and must stay together. Biscuit has adorable white "biscuit toes," is outgoing, affectionate, and loves being carried and snuggled. He's slightly overweight but healthy. Gravy is solid gray with the softest squeaky meow and a gentle, loyal nature. He's had occasional UTIs that improved with wet food and a fountain. They're typical siblings - usually together like little co-conspirators, grooming, chasing, and curled up side by side. They wrestle playfully, have hilarious sitting and lounging poses, and are prolific biscuit makers. Great with respectful kids and previously calm senior dogs that passed. Our home is now louder and more energetic with a playful dog and active kids, and despite our efforts, we believe they'd truly thrive in a calmer, more predictable environment. This has been an excruciating decision but they would be amazing companions in the right home.

Story
Gary is a 5-year-old neutered male I rescued from a farm that didn’t have the resources to care for him. He’s a laid-back, sweet cat whose biggest priorities in life are snacks, naps, and cuddles (on his terms!). He loves chasing a laser pointer and then settling in for long naps wherever he can find a sunny spot, often in my dog’s bed. Gary is affectionate but independent and prefers to initiate attention. When he wants love, he’ll come over for cuddles and give the cutest little sandpaper tongue licks to get your attention. His meow is more of a scratchy squeak, and you’ll definitely hear it when he’s hungry. He’s great with kids and other animals and has lived with cats and a dog. Gary does have feline herpes, which just causes the occasional sneeze and doesn’t seem to bother him. He’s an indoor-only cat, and I’m looking for a loving home where he’ll be cared for and spoiled.

Story
Meet Stevie, a beautiful, gentle, and affectionate four-year-old female looking for a peaceful, loving home. She’s vaccinated and lives indoors, fully litter-box trained, quiet, and well-mannered. Stevie is wonderful with both adults and kids, and she enjoys lounging in sunny spots, exploring cozy corners, and quietly keeping you company. It breaks our hearts to rehome her, because Stevie truly is a fantastic cat. Unfortunately, our new dog has been persistently disruptive to her peace and routine. Despite our best efforts, we haven’t been able to create a consistently comfortable environment for her. We’re looking for a calm, dog-free home where Stevie can thrive as the cherished house cat she is, one where she’ll enjoy daily affection, safety, and connection with her people.

Story
Very very sweet girl. She’s a little skittish in a new environment and will hide but once she comes out of her shell she wants to be right in your pocket! Seriously one of the most affectionate cats I’ve ever met. She came from a less than desirable home and I took her in with the hope of getting her spayed, healthy and finding her a forever family. Unfortunately my work schedule prevents me from being a good permanent placement. We have struggled with fleas on her. I am bathing her regularly to reduce the population and she is on topical medication which will need to continue. She comes with everything you could need to make her happy, all you need to provide is space and love and lots and lots of attention. If this is you, please reach out.
