Story
Camilla is a bright, curious girl with a playful spirit and a whole lot to say. She and her siblings had a rough start after being rescued from a dumpster, but with time in foster care she has blossomed into a chatty explorer who loves roaming around and announcing herself until she finds a friend to play with. She enjoys hide and pounce games, climbing to the highest spots she can reach, and batting at fishing pole toys. All of Camilla’s siblings have been adopted except for her and her brother Grover, and these two would absolutely love to find a home together. They comfort each other, boost each other’s confidence, and make an adorable, entertaining pair. Camilla can still be a bit wary in busy environments, so she will do best in a calmer home without young children, ideally with someone patient and gentle who will let her settle in at her own pace. Under that cautious exterior is a fun, affectionate kitty who just wants to feel safe and loved. If you are looking for a lively duo to bring joy and personality into your home, Camilla and Grover are ready to meet you.

Story
Jack and Witchy are sweet kittens. They are still rather shy and take time to trust people. Once they are comfortable with you they love to be petted and have the loudest purrs. They love to play with toys of all kinds and really enjoy cat treats. They will need understanding and patience in their new environment while they adjust.

Story
Hello, I'm Zeke. I am what the internet would call a very smol boi. I'm 2 years old, and weigh only 3 lbs. I am looking for a quiet household where I can feel safe and relaxed. I can be quite shy with new people and surroundings (again, I am small-- everything is giant and scary), but I'm very sweet once I have time to get acquainted. I am quite talkative and will meow and purr to you all day! I enjoy cheek rubs, back scratches, and catnip stuffies. my foster says "Zeke is a very sweet, attention craving and skittish little boy. If it were up to him you would be petting him every hour of everyday. He loves to just be around and see what it is going on, but at the drop of a hat (literally) he will run away and hide. He also enjoys playing with string toys and is not too big on mice. He is very good at using the litterbox and is also not aggressive in the slightest. The only time he has bitten has been a loving bite when you stop petting him. All in all Zeke is a great cat and would thrive in a calm environment with loving parents."

Story
Squeaks is reserved but SUCH a sweet girl. It takes a few days for her to warm up to you, but once she does she is a huge fan of chin scratches and soft brushes. A loud purr and a head butt will let you know you’ve met a great cuddly companion; and if you’re especially lucky you’ll hear a squeak or two- just as her name suggests! She has been doing great with the litter box, and would be a great cat for someone who wants a chill and cuddly friend.

Hello my name is Nomad! I am a curious and chatty young man. I LOVE to play! I came in with my brother Shibl, so I would do good in a house with another kitty. I am a relaxed dude who would love to cuddle up on a couch or lay by a window for hours. I'm doing great in my foster home- litterbox trained, don't mind the dogs too much as long as they keep sleeping on the couch while I roam, and I'm anxious to get into the rooms I haven't explored yet!

Story
Milky Way Midnight is a love! She loves a good rub, even accepting gentle rubs on her belly. She will show her appreciation with lots of purrs. She also enjoys being brushed. She enjoys sitting on your lap when it's her decision, but she won't overstay her welcome. She LOVES to eat and is highly food motivated. Her feeding needs to be monitored, as she will eat more than she needs. She loves to play with wand toys, and will look for opportunities where you will play with her. She is very easy going in a calm, quiet environment. She will startle easily at unexpected or loud noises. She does love her sister Sweet Tart, and would like to find a home with her. Sweet Tart is very friendly and quick to make friends! She enjoys a good pet, and will seek out your attention when she's in the mood for some attention. She will reward you with big purrs! She is highly food motivated, though she prefers canned food over dry. She LOVES all treats! She enjoys a good play session with a wand toy, but also enjoys kicker toys. She loves her sister Milky Way Midnight, and often will groom her for brief periods of time. She would love to find a home with her sister.

Split is a very energetic and playful cat. He was found under our house in July as a 3 week old kitten. We helped raise him into the cat he is now, but it is time to part ways. He needs someone that can give him some attention and create a great space for play, and we just aren’t there enough to give him what he needs.
