Story
Hello this is Bella. She’s about 4 years old. Got her in 2021. I have had her since she was a few weeks old. Unfortunately my new born is allergic so we must rehome her. She’s quiet, somewhat of a ninja lol. She loves to cuddle and be rubbed. She has had 5 litters within our time together with our male cat. She is strictly indoor! She has never been outside besides being brought home. She is house trained. Bella is small but long! Her favorite food is MeowMix Tender Centers or wet food mixed with the dry food. She’s only had one owner (me) so I’m hoping she can be with someone who plans to keep a cat for the long run. She has never had any health issues in my care. She recently gave birth 5th litter) so I’d love to see her gain some weight! She may be spayed by the time she gets adopted depending how soon we find a home. We hope to have some communication on how she’s doing once in a blue if the adoptee is up for that. I feel she would be good with someone older and not too busy.

Story
Sneezy is a sweet, playful little girl who is a bit shy. She is bonded with her sister, Happy, and they must be adopted together. Sneezy is a bit shy and will take some time to warm up. She needs a patient adopter and a calm home that will respect her quieter demeanor and allow her to feel safe. Once she warms up to you, she is very affectionate and playful. Her foster mom writes, " It will take some time for them to warm up to you but when they do they will love you. They love running around and playing and they love to cuddle with you on the bed. Laying with me and purrrring is their favorite thing 🩷🩷" The total adoption fee for Happy and Sneezy together is $500.

Story
Ready, set—go! Princess Peach is lined up at the starting line, hearts full and cuddles powered up. This young lady is a sweet, affectionate girl with a lovely mix of playful charm and gentle shyness. She may hang back and observe at first, but once she’s comfortable, her loving personality shines. She enjoys playtime, will happily chase toys, and can be quite talkative when she has something to say. At night, she loves curling up in her person’s lap for cozy cuddles. As she bonds, she becomes a loyal little shadow, following you from room to room. She’s done well with children and dogs with slow introductions and can be adopted on her own or with her friends Mia and Brownie. If you’re looking for a playful, cuddly companion, Princess Peach is ready to race her way into your heart. Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?

Story
This sweet group of cats came to us together and is now ready to find their next homes. While they can be adopted together if you’re looking to welcome multiple feline friends, they are also happy to go to separate homes and start new chapters of their own. These cats have lived with other cats and a dog in the past, so they are comfortable sharing their space with furry companions. Like many cats experiencing a big change, they can be a bit nervous in new environments and will need some time, patience, and understanding to fully settle in. They would do best in homes that understand the importance of a slow transition and are willing to let them adjust at their own pace. With love, routine, and a calm environment, these kitties are sure to become wonderful companions. If you’re looking to give one—or more—of these cats a fresh start, they’re ready to meet you and begin their journey home. 💛 Change is hard for this cat.
