Story
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.

Story
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!

Story
Hades, named for the Greek God of the Underworld, is stern, serious and dedicated to his human companion. He appears disciplined and dominant with play; Hades is not afraid of anything. He is a strong and independent kitty. Hades has a healthy attitude and when he finds something fun, Hades cannot contain himself and will ambush it! He navigates through adventures and shimmies to the top of a cat platform. Hades gets mental enrichment and exercise playing with his favorite toy -- cat toy balls. He spends part of the day laying on a window bench watching the squirrels and birds. Hades has a soft spot for your attention and will join you in the bed at night. His ideal home is with an individual, couple or family. Hades frolics with his littermate Athena and romps around with other cats. If no other cats are in the home, consider adopting Hades along with Athena. Hades is a silver tiger tabby with white mittens and a white locket. He flashes big gold eyes! As of November 2025, he is 8 months old. Hades' adoption fee is $80. If interested in meeting Hades, please submit an application here: https://fjcasp.wufoo.com/forms/adoption-application
