Story
***Shy but a sweet boy looking for his furever person **** Theo is a 2-year-old, dark, male tabby with big, round, soulful eyes. Once he settles in he is oh-so affectionate, rubbing around your legs and following you around. He lives for pats, strokes, and cuddles. Very easy going, he gets along well with other cats be they rambunctious or retiring. Quite energetic, he needs lots of space to move around in, but is very much a well mannered house cat. ##2512767##

Story
Sassafras is a beautiful 2-year-old calico with a gentle, curious spirit. She loves exploring new spaces and is very inquisitive, which makes her a great candidate for mental enrichment like food or treat puzzles (still to be tested with her foster). She’s food-motivated and enjoys both thoughtful engagement and interactive play. When it’s time for fun, Sass happily chases wand toys, and when the day winds down, she’s more than ready to snuggle up in bed with you. While she isn’t overly vocal, she has the sweetest way of greeting her foster—offering a few soft, welcoming meows while rubbing affectionately and weaving between their legs. Sass is currently content being the only cat and would thrive as the center of attention. With slow, proper introductions, she may also do well in a calm household with an older, easygoing cat. One of her most endearing and unique traits is her love of car rides. They seem soothing to her, and you may even catch her making biscuits in her carrier while traveling. She has comfortably handled car rides lasting up to 90 minutes without making a single peep—an exceptional little traveler. Sassafras is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and fully litterbox trained. She’s ready to start her next chapter and is hopeful to find her forever home in 2026.       ##2451234##

Story
Meet Mira! This petite gray beauty may be tiny, but she’s got a big personality. When new people stop by to say hello, Mira isn’t shy about letting them know she needs a moment—she’ll give a little hiss just to set some boundaries. Don’t worry, though—she’s a good girl who’s simply learning the world at her own pace.   Right now, Mira is all about playtime. Cuddles can wait! She spends her days racing around with her siblings and mom, chasing toys, and burning kitten energy until she collapses into a well-earned nap… only to pop back up ready for round two.   Mira hasn’t met dogs yet, but with her confident attitude, she’ll probably make it clear who runs the show once she’s settled in. She may be cautious at first, but with patience and understanding, Mira will blossom into a lively, loving addition to the right home.   This spirited little boss is ready to find the family who appreciates her spark! I am scheduled to be spayed 12/9/25 and will be able to go to my furever home. ##2557263##

Story
Greetings everyone. My name is Huntirx and I am around two years old, looking for my forever home. I don't much like being left alone and while I love scritches I am not really excited about lap time. I'm okay with being picked up but that also doesn't do much for me. I am a mom of yougins so I may need time to return to my old self.  I'll show you I love you by meowing at you whenever I see you, and I'll sit next to you and stare longingly at your beautiful face! I've lived with another cat before so I'm sure I can get along with another kitty, or perhaps a dog once we've gotten to know each other. I'm looking forward to the adventure! I am scheduled to be spayed on 12/9/25 and will be available to go to my furever home. ##2557260##
