Story
Like all sidekicks, I'm just plain good company. I like attention, and I also like my solitude. I don't go looking for trouble but I'm no scaredy-cat, either. If you are looking for a steady companion to travel with you on the road of life, look no further. I'm not into dogs or other cats, but kids might be fine. I really would just like a quiet home.

When it comes to relationships, I'm very level-headed. I don't leap in paws first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I'll shower you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not see a lot of me-but I'll be thinking a lot of you. Not sure what I think about dogs and other cats. I should be fine with kids, though.

I have to say, I'm a busy cat. First, I've got to check out what's happening out the window. Next, I'll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into. And then there are my naps-can't be late for those. I can fit a little socializing into my schedule. Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner? I hope you like kibbles. Not sure what I think about dogs, other cats and kids are fine with me, tho!

Story
Meet Misty! (Also affectionately known as Misty Morning Girl.) Misty came to us as an owner surrender due to a move. She was previously regarded as feral in her former life but is just a little wary of strangers! (Not a bad call on her part!) She is very sweet and loves back rubs when she gets to know you! Misty loves her canned food in the evenings and is good around other cats. She doesn’t seem to mind dogs either as she has been dog-tested with a large, calm, cat-friendly dog. Although she doesn’t go up to the dog, she doesn’t run from him either. Misty loves to lounge around on soft beds and pillows or sit on the windowsill and watch the birds outside! She may never be a lap cat, but will eventually warm up to you if given enough time and patience. Misty needs to go to a home with another cat companion as she has alway been around cats and does well with them. A home with a confident cat companion would be best for her. She is spayed and eartipped, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped!

Story
Gaelynn is an absolutely stunning young male tuxedo cat! With eyes that look like buttons, he looks kind of like a living stuffed animal! Gaelynn has had a rough start in life. He previously lived outdoors and was regarded as feral but he is really just in need of a little patience in a calm environment. Gaelynn sustained a broken leg in his previous life and, unfortunately, that break never healed correctly because Gaelynn was not taken to the vet when it happened. With all this said, Gaelynn gets around just fine and he doesn’t let a slight disability slow him down any! Gaelynn is happy to get some back scratches when he has gotten comfortable with his humans and he loves to indulge in wet food and treats! He is good with other cats and has been dog-tested with a large, calm, cat-friendly dog. Although he doesn’t go up to the dog, he doesn’t run from him either. Gaelynn is a very vocal, sensitive soul that is searching for that forever home that will accept him for who he is! He may never be a lap cat, but will eventually warm up to you if given enough time and patience. Gaelynn needs to go to a home with another cat companion as he has alway been around cats and does well with them. A home with a confident cat companion would be best for him. He is neutered and eartipped, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped!

Story
Willie Nelson was found by a good Samaritan while “playing on the road again!” He is a young adult cat that would make a great companion or playmate for another cat! Willie Nelson is a handsome ginger boy! He is very social with other cats so Willie MUST go to a home with another cat companion as that is what is in his best interest! A home with a confident cat companion would be best. He loves to play and nap with other cats and is very vocal! (By vocal, we mean he meows a lot!) Willie Nelson is good with other cats and kittens as well as dogs, but he is shy and can be very skittish/socially awkward with people and will need to go to a home where someone will be patient and willing to work with him! An experienced adopter would be best for him. He was adopted out once before and was returned due to having accidents in the home. (Other than the accidents, things appeared to actually be going pretty well.) It may also be important to note that Willie once had an incident where he bit and broke skin when he was being put into a carrier to go to the vet. We believe that he bit because he was scared and he may or may not bite again in the future. This was NOT typical behavior for him. He did NOT bite in the home that he was previously adopted out to. We want Willie to go to a home that will be COMMITTED and keep him regardless of if he does this again and/or remains skittish in personality. Willie Nelson will have been neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped at his time of adoption!

Story
Like the ashes that are left behind after a fire, Ashes is a sweet girl who may have had a home at one time but it has been unclear where, when, and with whom. In any case, she was somehow left behind until she was recently taken in after being found at a farm. It is unknown how she arrived at the farm. She can be very vocal and expressive if you take her for a ride in the car! Ashes has absolutely STUNNING turquoise eyes that are a very unique color! Ashes is good with other cats and is being introduced to a large, cat-friendly dog. While with us, Ashes has been able to open up and has enjoyed getting pets and affection from people. She absolutely LOVES catnip! We are hoping that someone will come by and sweep her up to give her the life she deserves to have! Ashes will have been spayed, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped at her time of adoption! We are not recommending that she go to a home with young children due to the fact that she was said not to do well with them in a previous home.

Story
Kashmir is an absolutely gorgeous, mysterious looking slate grey girl of about 2 years old as estimated by the vet. She reminds us of a Russian Blue and was taken in as a stray who was found on a farm so is most likely NOT a Russian Blue but she is certainly equally as exotic looking! Kashmir is EXCELLENT with other cats and kittens and she has also been introduced to a large, cat-friendly dog at the rescue which she also doesn't seem to mind being around. (Only calm dogs that will mind their own business for this girl!) Kashmir would make a great companion for another cat as she is very easy-going with other cats! Kashmir would most likely prefer a calm environment and will do best with someone who is willing to be patient with her because she can be a little socially awkward although she is very sweet, friendly, playful, and is a rescue favorite here! Kashmir has the cutest little meow-chirp when she gets comfortable with you and she tends to be vocal! It may be important to note that Kashmir was adopted out once before and was returned due to biting although she has never aggressively bitten us here at the rescue and has been with us for over 1 whole year. (We are not sure what actually took place in the home where she was said to have bitten in.) Due to this, it would be best if Kashmir went to a home with an experienced adopter who is committed to working with her and keeping her regardless of if she bites again in the future. We are not recommending a home with young children for this girl due to the potential for biting. Kashmir knows a better future is out there ahead of her and she is not giving up on finding it! She will continue searching "and stars fill her dream, she's a traveler of both time and space, as the dust that floats high in June, she's moving through Kashmir..." Kashmir will have been spayed, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped at her time of adoption!

Are you looking for a super classy guy with dazzling green eyes that always likes to wear his tuxedo and give you lots of love? Introducing Frank Sinatra... come fly with him!!! This sweet crooner takes a little while to warm up but once he does, you will hear him purr from here to eternity! Frank is smooth, graceful, and great with other cats and dogs! We are told that he has also been around kids in the past. He comes from a home that had lots of other animals and seems to enjoy the company of other cats so it would be a definite benefit for Frank Sinatra to go to a home where he could have another animal companion. Frank Sinatra has got the world on a string and firmly believes that the best is yet to come! He makes us feel so young! He will have been neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped at his time of adoption! He was eartipped at his time of neutering... but that's life and he still looks like a member of high society with his handsome face and tuxedo! Frank Sinatra is ready to give you all of his tomorrows and become a part of your Rat Pack!
