Story
Meet Raider – The Swirly Whirlwind of Cuteness (With a Side of Extra Street Smarts)! Raider is a teenage tabby with a coat so mesmerizing, you’ll think someone swirled chocolate syrup and tiger stripes together in a moment of artistic genius. He’s rocking a rare combo of classic and mackerel tabby—basically the feline version of a marble masterpiece with bonus toe beans. At first, Raider might eye you with suspicion like you’re a vacuum cleaner in disguise, but give him a little time and he’ll show his sweet, silly, affectionate side. He’s a softie at heart who’s just a little shy about showing it—think introverted gentleman with whiskers. Raider is fully vetted, microchipped, and ready for his forever home… and yep, he’s FIV+. But don’t let those three little letters scare you off. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) just means he has a slightly weaker immune system, not that he’s sick or fragile. In fact, FIV+ cats can live long, happy, completely normal lives with regular vet care and a safe indoor lifestyle. He can even live with non-FIV cats peacefully—it’s not easily spread unless there are deep bite wounds (and Raider is a lover, not a fighter). So if you’re looking for a uniquely handsome, sweet, slightly shy cuddle bug with swirls for days and the heart of a survivor, Raider is your guy. Bonus: he’s got that mysterious “bad boy with a good heart” vibe that rom-coms are made of. Give Raider the loving home he deserves—and prepare to be hypnotized by his one-of-a-kind coat and gentle soul. 🐾💛

Story
Meet Sparky (aka Sparko, aka Sparkle Pony) If chaos came in a tiny tuxedo, it would look exactly like this kitten. Sparky is the bounciest little creature on four paws. He does not walk. He springs. And wherever you walk, he’s right at your feet like a personal escort with zero spatial awareness. Good luck not tripping. Food time is Sparky’s Super Bowl. He gets excited for meals like he’s been starving for 47 years, even though he just ate ten minutes ago. In Sparky’s world, every hour is wet food hour. No exceptions. No shame. His favorite hobby? Removing the kitchen towel. Not playing with it. Not chewing on it. Not cuddling it. Just… removing it. It simply does not belong on the hanger, and Sparky is committed to making sure it stays that way. He is the self-appointed Household Towel Compliance Officer. He’s also a huge fan of jingle balls, boxes (any box = Best Toy Ever Invented), and mid-zoomies snuggle breaks. Sparky will nap with people, but only if he has time between bouncing sessions. If Binky is around, though? Sorry, human. Sparky chooses Binky every time. He’s a loyal little friend, especially to other cats. Sparky still has full spastic-kitten energy, and honestly…it is hilarious to watch. He’s cute, he’s weird, and he’s ready to bring his ridiculous joy to a home that can appreciate the art of controlled chaos.

Story
Paisley is a 3-year-old sweetheart who’s convinced she was born royalty (and honestly… she’s not wrong). She’s a cuddle bug when she wants to be, and she’ll happily grace your lap with her royal presence—just don’t overdo the petting, or you’ll earn the patented Tortie Side-Eye™. Paisley would prefer to be the one and only feline ruler of your castle (Princess of the House!), but if she must share her kingdom with another cat, she’ll tolerate it—begrudgingly. Think of her as a benevolent dictator. 👑 She’s got classic tortie-tude: sweet one minute, sassy the next, and always keeping you entertained. Paisley would do great with older children who can respect her royal boundaries. If you’re looking for a loving, snuggly, occasionally dramatic leading lady to rule your home and heart, Paisley is ready to move in and claim her throne. Long live the Queen! 🐾

Story
If you’re looking for a cat who shows his happiness with his whole heart (and his whole tail!), then Chip is your guy! This super-friendly sweetheart greets his favorite humans with adorable chirps and a tail that vibrates at the speed of light. Once he knows you’re one of his people, he turns into a full-on love machine. Chip does start off a little nervous, so he’ll appreciate a moment to check you out and make sure you’re cool — but once he decides you’re safe? Buckle up, because you’ve officially gained a BFF for life. When he’s not busy showering you with affection, Chip is a playful king. He absolutely loves chasing the laser pointer and batting around jingle balls like a tiny feline athlete. Chip is the perfect mix of sweet, silly, and loyal. If you’re ready for a companion who will chirp hello every time you walk in the room and bond with you forever, Chip is waiting to meet you!

Story
Meet O’Reilly – The Gentleman Brawler with a Mustache! Imagine a tall, broad-shouldered ex–street boss with an ear tip, some battle scars, and a perfectly crooked orange-brown mustache. That’s O’Reilly. He looks like he should be in charge of a biker gang, but deep down he’s really just a big, mushy teddy bear who wants window sunshine, snacks, and head scratches. Despite his tough exterior, O’Reilly is ridiculously lovable. He enjoys: • Lounging in sunny windows like a solar-powered house panther. • Roughhousing with his human (totally goofy, doglike play wrestling). • Making friends with other cats—he really does get along with them wonderfully. Now, here’s his “fine print” (spoiler: it’s not scary!): O’Reilly is heartworm positive (HW+) and FIV positive. That means: • He doesn’t need expensive special care day-to-day—just regular vet checkups like any other cat. • He can live a long, happy life with proper monitoring. • FIV isn’t contagious through normal cat living (only deep bite wounds), and since O’Reilly is a lover, not a fighter, he gets along fine with other cats. • Heartworm in cats is managed with monitoring and supportive care—he’s not on any scary treatments and is currently stable. So basically, O’Reilly is a big ol’ sweetheart with a couple of medical labels that don’t stop him from being the best sunbathing, mustached sidekick you’ll ever meet. He’s a retired tomcat turned lovebug, ready to trade his “tough guy” street rep for a comfy couch and a forever human. If you’re looking for a cat with personality, presence, and the vibe of a retired prizefighter who just wants to cuddle—you’ve found your guy.

Story
Meet Uncle Buck, the distinguished gentleman of the kitten room! This handsome fella was sent our way after deciding that shelter life just wasn’t his vibe—and honestly, we can’t blame him. Once he settled in, Uncle Buck completely blossomed into the sweetest boy around. He loves hanging out with the kittens, teaching them his chill ways, and earning his title as the lovable “Uncle” of the crew. He’s a big fan of being brushed and petted, but he’s not into being held—he’s got dignity to maintain, after all. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate cat who’s equal parts cool uncle and cuddle connoisseur, Uncle Buck is your guy.

Story
Meet Maze and Franklin. Maze is a solid black short hair and Franklin is a tabby short hair. Maze is 6 years old and was found as a young kitten. He is a big shy boy until he gets to know you, but once he does, he loves so much and gives you attention 24/7. Franklin is 4 years old and was found abandoned at such a young age that his eyes had just opened. I bottle fed him until he could start on soft food. He is very curious about everything and warms up to people fast. They are a bonded pair and have been together since Frank came into our home. They have been around dogs and children (though they are apprehensive of new ones) and they love cuddles and sleeping in bed with you. They have been indoor cats their whole lives and have no sense of survival outdoors lol so they need to remain indoors. We love our boys so much, but our situation is changing, and we want to find them a good loving home.
