Story
Raya Love is a 1 year old girl with very unique markings and is quite the character. She is mostly white and has hint of black and brown. She has a tabby colored tail. She likes to be petted and is very playful. She would do best in a home where she can shine as an only pet but can get along with one other cat. Her ideal home would be one with adults and older teens and NO DOGS. She is spayed, vaccinated and has been treated for fleas and worms and tested negative for both FeLV & FIV. June 6, 2023, 12:05 am

Story
Nox had a terrible start in life. She was abandoned by her owners with two other cats. She lived under a cardboard box in an alley full of garbage. I scooped her up eating out of a garbage can at just 4 months old. The other two cats that were abandoned along with her went missing. Nox is very insecure and does not like being the center of attention. She stays in the background trying not to be noticed. She is very shy but friendly and will take time to warm up to you. She gets along well with other cats and is very playful. She needs to go to a quiet, less active home and one with no dogs or small children. She is spayed, vaccinated and has been treated for fleas and worms and tested negative for both FeLV & FIV.  June 6, 2023, 12:05 am

Story
Chip is a stunning one year old black male shorthair with golden eyes! He loves to play with ALL toys and is the most playful of my fosters. He also loves all treats! Chip is still wary of humans, but I believe he will come around in time with plenty of human interaction. Playing and treats will be the way to win him over! Chip gets along with other cats, but would do best with a slow introduction. It is suggested to keep him separate initially so he can bond with his human, before introducing to other cats. He would not do well in a home with young kids; calmer older kids 13+ may be OK. He has not been around dogs, but I suspect he would do better in a home without dogs.    June 6, 2023, 12:05 am

Story
This good looking hunk is Hubbell. He is a super chill, very laid back guy. He likes to sit beside you for cuddles and pets. He especially loves the company of men. He is 1 ½ years young and a big boy weighing over 13 pounds. He loves to eat especially canned food and temptation treats.  He is not a playful guy he just likes to sit on his favorite chair and observe. Hubbell was abandoned by his owner and I trapped him because of his severe leg injury. He also needed to have two teeth removed. He has recovered nicely and is so happy to be back indoors again. Hubbell gets along with the other cats in his foster room. Since the foster does not have dogs we are uncertain how he would react to them. He can join a home with kids over 12 who have experience with respecting cats’ space” Hubbell is neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms and has tested negative for both FeLV and FIV.

Story
Milo is a very sweet and playful kitten, very cute with lots of extra toes. I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago and I'm not doing well. He would do well in almost any home setting and I think he would love children who would play with him. My granddaughter is a little older but when she stays with me he follows her everywhere and sleeps with her. He loves to play and LOVES his toys. He has no health or behavioral issues, he uses his litter box like a champ. I'm looking for his perfect forever home.

Story
Dorothy is a special cat with a unique story. She and her litter of kittens were living outdoors until a Lollypop Farm employee found them and rescued them! Dorothy is a lovely cat that has tested positive for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). This means that she needs to be the only cat in the home or if there are other cats in the home, they all have to be FeLV-positive. Dorothy's ideal home would be a peaceful and serene environment where she can relax and feel safe. She loves to sleep in cozy spaces, so she'd love a comfortable bed or cat tree. Dorothy also has a healthy appetite, and her favorite food is canned food. She is looking for a kind and patient family who will provide her with a warm and loving home. Come meet this beautiful girl today and give her the loving home she deserves.

Story
Spice, a spirited 7-year-old senior feline, embraces her name with a spicy zest for life. Because Spice came in as a stray, her past is shrouded in mystery, but it's clear that she's a cat with opinions and a fiercely independent spirit. Still adjusting to the concept of being petted, Spice is showing promising progress, though she prefers the company of experienced cat owners who can understand and cater to her unique needs. She's best suited to an adult-only home, where she can freely express her distinct personality. A connoisseur of comfort, Spice has a knack for finding the coziest corners in which to curl up. Recently, she's discovered a fondness for music, taking delight in the soothing serenades sung just for her. Spice's journey has been one of resilience and adaptability, and while she may take her time to warm up, her potential as a loyal companion is evident.

Story
Rose is about 3 years old and was given to me by my grandma who could no longer care for her. She is just the sweetest little girl and loves attention! She is part siamese so she still looks very young and small but is probably almost full grown ! I am looking to rehome her and her sister Rue together. They love each other alot and I would hate for them to separate. When I took them in I already had a dog that they are completely terrified of so for that reason I have to keep them separate. I want these sweet babies to have a loving home where they can roam and not feel afraid. I love her very much and just wan the best for her.

Story
Coraline is approximately 3-4 years old. She a petite cat who still acts like a kitten ! She’s a complete cuddle bug and loves the pets and belly rubs. Coraline has never bit nor scratched anyone even while playing . She’s never scratched on furniture , she usually goes over to her cat tower. She has been around dogs who respect her space and I’ve never had a problem. She is a bit shy at first but as she warms up she comes out for love . When people come over she tends to hide but comes out after familiarizing their voice. I hate to give her away but we just found out our newborn is allergic to the cat and unfortunately we are left with no other option .
