Story
This is Kitty Softpaws named by my nephews after the character on Puss in Boots. We’re only giving her up because we have family members with really bad cat allergies. She’s afraid of new dogs but can eventually be ok with them. She’s an outdoor cat and usually comes to the door or window and meows to be let in for food and water. She’s super chill and doesn't require much attention. She just needs a door person and food for the most part, but will ask for cuddles from time to time. Hoping to find her a good home with a nice yard to explore or someone willing to put in the effort of making her an indoor cat.

Story
This slender beautiful lady is Sassafras - a 2-year-old Calico DSH. She is done with the responsibilities of being a young mother and is ready for a new life of luxury and independence furr-ever! Sassafras is incredibly clever, fearless, and curious. She is also very playful, affectionate, and sociable; so the constraints of foster life have not been for her – sheneeds more human attention, interaction and space to roam. She would appreciate a home with cat loving humans who are not “grabby” and will respect her quiet time when she wants it(recommend 12 years of age and older). Sassafras is FeLV negative, up to date on her vaccines, uses the litter box at all times,and exercises good nail etiquette by only using a cardboard scratching box.  See her video here: https://youtu.be/YQQ6qruZlm4?si=OK9ZT8soIF3LajOR ##2451234##

Story
My sister and I had a tough start as sick orpan babies. We found our way to a shelter; where my eyes were badly infected. I had to have one removed but it hasn't slowed me down. I run jump and play with ease. I'm litter trained and eat dry and wet food. I live with other cats and dogs. I'm scheduled to be spayed on 12/17 and will be ready to go to my furever home. ##2543152##

Story
Meet Rasputin — the Rootin’ Tootin’ Rasputin himself! (Also answering to Ras, Rassy-poo, and Raspoopin’ when he’s feeling extra silly… or extra stinky )   At just 3 weeks old and a mere 0.86 lbs, Rasputin faced the deadly Panleukopenia virus — and won. This tiny fighter pulled through like an absolute champ, and today he’s a thriving 9-week-old kitten with a clean bill of health, a full belly, and plenty of pep in his toe beans. Now over 2 lbs and growing fast, he’s ready to trade his survival story for a forever-home love story.   Personality & Playfulness: Rasputin is a tough little man with a soft heart. He plays beautifully with other cats, both young and old, and enjoys joining in on tag, chase, and general kitten chaos. Sometimes he prefers to sit back and watch the big kids play — he’s an observer and a participant, depending on his mood.   This boy loves his food. If another kitty gets too close to his plate, he might give a few “grumbly nom noms” to remind them of his boundaries, but it’s all harmless and pretty adorable.   His absolute favorite toy? The wand toy. Wave it once, and you’ll have Rasputin’s full attention.   Ready for Adoption: Rasputin is scheduled to be neutered on December 4th and will be all set for adoption shortly after. This brave, goofy, big-hearted survivor is ready to bring joy, laughs, and a whole lot of love to his forever family.   Could Rasputin be your tiny hero with a big personality?  ##2547372##

Story
Meet Rumi! This beautiful brown tortoishell girl is full of curiosity, charm, and just the right amount of kitten chaos. Rumi loves having plenty of places to climb, explore, and perch—she wants a home that gives her room to show off her adventurous side. But don’t worry, she’s just as happy to curl up in a soft spot once she’s done exploring.   Growing up with her mom and siblings, Rumi has learned the joys of both playtime and cuddle time. She adores a good scritch and is always ready for a fun round of toys or a gentle chase. She’s still figuring out exactly how her tiny kitten claws work (oops!), but she means well and is learning quickly.   Rumi is excited to meet new people and can’t wait to bring her playful spirit and sweet affection to her forever family.  I am scheduled to be spayed on 12/9/25 and will be available to go to my furever home. ##2557262##
