Story
Ducky is a sweet lady we adopted 3 years ago. Unfortunately she has never warmed up to our other cat causing her a lot of anxiety. We have talked the vet and tried lots of different things to help her feel calmer to no avail. I would recommend Ducky be the only cat in the house. She gets along great with our two dogs and two kids. She took a few months to get brave enough to be around the kids, but now they snuggle on the bed together. We will miss Ducky but feel she will be much happier in a home without another cat.

Story
✨ Meet Puddles! ✨ Born around 7/2/25, this handsome little gentleman has the softest eyes and an even softer heart. He’s the perfect mix of playful and snuggly — silly enough to make you laugh, sweet enough to melt right into your arms. Puddles is absolutely devoted to his sister and BFF, Cuddles, and would be over the moon to go home with her. He’s that magical “older kitten” sweet spot: confident, kind, past the tiny‑kitten chaos, and ready to be your easygoing cuddle buddy from day one. If you’re looking for gentle, joyful, and downright adorable… Puddles is your guy. 🐾💕

Story
Meet Baby Bear! Is your derpy cat looking for a derpy friend? They don't make them derpier than BABY BEAR! This young goober was a mamas boy until she FINALLY kicked him out of the nest. But now he's having a ball with friends his own age! He loves to play with his buddies. He chases and chirps and enjoys general tomfoolery with the other weirdos his age. Baby Bear needs a cat friend to dork out with. He would prefer a home that is not too rambunctious as he is a slightly sensitive fellow buy he does do well with kids. He has a silly personality and is the cutest buff tabby color. If you have a cat looking for a cat please come meet Baby Bear!

Story
Foster notes on Simba:`Simba came to us somewhat nervous and intimidated by loud noises, yet immediately seeking gentle attention. He enjoys chin scratches and likes to hang out in cozy spots in your proximity. Simba loves to be carried from window to window, yet will not stay in your lap for very long. Simba communicates vocally and with gentle nibbles - he will tell you when he is hungry or is done receiving pets. He likes to watch birds and greatly enjoys string toys, gift ribbons, and his little white mouse to play with. Simba behaves well with familiar and unfamiliar people as well as older kids (19, 17, 13 years old in our household). We do not have any data regarding his behavior toward younger children and other pets. Simba likes wet and dry food, but needs to be encouraged to drink - we mixed some water into his wet food. He might beg for human food if he is hungry. Simba is generally litter box trained - we found it beneficial to have more than one litter box set up for him.Simba is an affectionate sweet boy and will be waiting for you at your door step!`
