Meet Maya, a beautiful black cat with a heart as deep as her glossy coat. Maya is a bit of a wallflower, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance. She's a little shy, but don't let that fool you. Behind those bright, curious eyes is a world of untapped affection and fun waiting to be shared. Maya's past was a little rough, as she was born and raised in a semi-feral colony. But feral life was not destined to be her future because this sweet girl wanted to be rescued. And while she walked away from the feral life, it's clear she's still struggles learning to fully trust people. She might not be the first to greet you at the door, but give her time and patience, and she'll slowly come out of her shell. She's a cat who needs a gentle touch, a soft voice, and tasty treats to reassure her that the world isn't as scary as it seems. Maya is looking for a forever home where she can feel safe and loved. She might take a little longer to warm up, but once she does, she'll reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and love. She adores being brushed and loves gentle pets and scratches, and she's particularly fond of treats and catnip. There are still a few things in life that make her nervous and afraid, but time and patience are helping her become more confident and trusting. Maya is more than just your average cat; she's a companion waiting to share her heart and life with someone who understands her. So, if you have a quiet home and a patient heart, Maya might just be the perfect addition to your family. She's a testament to the fact that trust takes time, but the reward is worth every moment.

Meet Rusty - AKA Rustoleum Meet Rusty (short for Rustoleum!) — The Orangiest Orange Cat on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Quite Possibly the CEO of Mischief! Rusty is a 4-year-old orange-and-white tabby who’s basically the feline version of a sassy boss. Don’t let the “one brain cell” stereotype fool you—this guy is sharp as a tack. He figured out the litter robot faster than most humans figure out their smartphones, and he’s got a clear agenda: get all the attention and never leave your cup unattended. Speaking of cups, Rusty is a certified drink thief. Water? Ice water? Wine? If it’s yours and it’s unattended, it’s his now—bonus points if he can knock it over afterward, just to make sure you know who’s really in charge. When he’s not orchestrating beverage heists, he’s demanding cuddles like a polite dictator, complete with a gentle nip if you dare to ignore his love requests. His purr is so loud, it could probably power a small city. Rusty loves hanging out on the arm of the couch, splooted out like a furry little loaf, watching the world go by through his favorite window like the orange king he is. He gets along well with submissive cats who he can push around, but also snuggle with, and even chill, cat-friendly dogs, though when it comes to playtime, it’s strictly feline-only. His favorite game? Tag. And yes, he’s always “it.” If you think vet visits are a nightmare, think again. Rusty treats the vet like a celebrity meet-and-greet and is absolutely fascinated by the stethoscope. Who knew a cat could have such a thing for medical gadgets? But don’t let his charm fool you completely—Rusty has his grumpy orange tabby moments. He’ll swat you (gently, but firmly) to say either “Love me now!” or “Back off, human!” So, a home with older kids who understand cat boundaries is ideal. And here’s the kicker—Rusty will meet you at the door every day like a furry little bouncer, making sure you know you’re his favorite human (don’t let it go to your head). If you’re ready for a smart, sassy, lovable, and occasionally mischievous orange whirlwind who’ll keep life interesting (and your drinks on edge), Rusty’s your guy!

Meet Daphne! Daphne is sweet and very petite tuxedo kitten with a gentle soul, a loving heart, and a playful spirit. Born and raised in a barn with her two siblings until she was 3 months old, she’s now getting a fresh start in foster care—and she’s adjusting to indoor life beautifully! Though she can be a little shy at first, Daphne is making amazing progress. With a bit of patience and a lot of love, she quickly shows her affectionate side—and once she feels safe, she becomes quite loving. For the most part, she’s a gentle quiet girl who just needs the right environment to fully blossom. She’s also discovering how much fun kitten life can be! Daphne absolutely adores catnip and goes wild chasing the end of a feather wand toy. She is also a very big fan of Churu squeezable treats! Her playful side is shining brighter every day, and she’s sure to keep you entertained with her kitten antics. Daphne currently lives with other cats ranging from kittens to seniors, and she gets along wonderfully with everyone. She is also great with friendly dogs, and seems to be pretty easy going. She’d thrive in a calm home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace. Older, respectful children who understand her gentle nature and who can respect her needs would be a great fit to help her feel safe and loved. She will need patience and understanding from her family as she transitions into her new home. If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet, playful kitten with tons of potential, and you have the time to invest a little love... then Daphne just might be your perfect match.

Meet Deveraux! Deveraux is a stunningly handsome and sweet tuxedo kitty boy, who was born and raised in a barn until he was 3 months old. But thanks to being rescued, he’s now getting a fresh start in foster care and has adjusted to the house cat life remarkably well! Out of his siblings, Deveraux is the thinker of the bunch. We don’t quite know how to explain it, but he thinks just like a human—curious, always seeking answers, and needing to investigate before jumping into anything new. He is loving and playful once he gets used to his new surroundings. He adores feather wands, laser lights, cardboard boxes, and tunnels. He loves a good zoomie and can often be found rough housing with his foster siblings, hanging out with the other kitty boys, or racing down the hallway like it's Talladega Speedway. Deveraux is very sweet and loving, but still has moments where he is timid and a bit unsure, so he will still need a bit of loving support as he transitions into his new home. He is currently being raised in a home with cats of all ages—from kittens to seniors—and gets along well with everyone. He has also made friends with the resident dogs and is doing great! Deveraux would do best in a patient home with a family that can continue to help him grow in confidence. He should be fine with older kids who understand that the “inside world” is a whole new ballgame for him. He needs gentle reassurance, lots of toys, lots of love, and of course—lots of tasty treats! His absolute favorite is a Churu—a lickable cat treat! Oh, and he absolutely adores being brushed! If you’re looking for a sweet, curious, and playful tuxedo kitten who’s ready to blossom with the right family, Deveraux might just be your perfect match! If interested in meeting Deveraux, please submit an application here: https://fjcasp.wufoo.com/forms/adoption-application

Blossom is friendly, intelligent and has a sociable nature. She will engage with her human companion expressing affection by rubbing up against your legs and communicating with "meows!" In the beginning Blossom will be shy around new people and easily frightened of strange noises in her new environment but should overcome the timidness quickly with petting and handling her in a tender manner. Blossom is okay with being held in your arms and will rest on your lap for a short period of time. She takes to scratching away on a cat scratching post. Blossom's ideal home is with an individual, couple or family; she is accustomed to being around children. Blossom should do well with another cat; she showed sweet motherly tenderness to her kittens. Blossom is not enthusiastic about dogs; it may take a slow and proper introduction to accept a canine. She is a 2-year-old American Shorthair that bloomed into a silver tiger tabby pattern, a round face, stocky body and thick coat. Blossom will keep flowering if you love her! Her adoption fee is $70.
