Story
Meet Sparky — The Zippy, Zesty Bundle of Fun! Sparky is a sweet, playful boy with a big personality and just a little spark of sass! He loves to play, explore, and keep life exciting — and while he enjoys affection, he’s also great at letting you know when he’s had enough with a quick, honest nip. Because of this, Sparky will do best with mature kids who understand cat body language and respect his boundaries.He’s searching for an indoor-only home where he can be the only cat (no feline roommates for this guy). Sparky may be okay with a cat-savvy dog after a super slow, careful introduction, especially if the dog understands personal space.Sparky’s must-haves include:Tons of toys, especially interactive and catnip-filled ones to burn off energyCat trees & scratching posts for climbing, stretching, and zoomiesWindow perches for birdwatching and entertainmentTreats, wet food, and catnip — his absolute favoritesRegular nail trims (those extra toes mean extra claws to maintain!)With his adorable extra toes, playful spirit, and honest personality, Sparky is a fun-loving kitty who thrives in a home that appreciates a little spice with their sweet. If you’re looking for an engaging, entertaining companion who keeps things lively, Sparky is ready to spark up your life!

Story
Meet Gato — The Quietly Sweet Playtime Pro! Gato is a shy but sweet boy with a playful side that comes out once he feels safe and settled. He’s the kind of kitty who prefers a calm, peaceful environment where he can move at his own pace—and once he’s comfortable, you’ll see his gentle personality and love of play really shine. He’s looking for a quiet, indoor-only home with respectful teens who understand the importance of patience and soft voices. Gato may do well with another cat after a slow, thoughtful introduction. He could also potentially live with a small, cat-savvy dog, but only with an extra-slow intro and a dedicated room where he can retreat when he needs a break.Gato’s dream home includes:Plenty of cozy hiding and napping spots for quiet timeTons of toys, especially catnip and interactive ones to spark his playful sideCat trees & scratching posts for stretching, climbing, and confidence-buildingWindow perches for peaceful birdwatching sessionsTreats, wet food, and catnip — his favorite rewardsIf you’re looking for a gentle, playful companion who thrives in a calm home and blossoms with patience, Gato may be the perfect fit for your family.
