Story
Charcoal is a neutered black male cat, born in January 2022. He has recently had his right hind leg amputated. Charcoal was an outside stray cat who was fed by an elderly lady. He is loving and loyal. But when the lady died, Charcoal was left without a home and then he was shot in the leg. His leg could not be repaired. Charcoal is a special needs cat. He can get along well on his three legs and will do even better once he gets the hang of it. He can jump and climb. He would do best as an only cat. He has very nice manners in the house! He has a wonderful purr! The adoption fee is $25. Indoor cat only!  This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment.

Story
Bonded pair!! Sahara has gone from feral to a lovebug. He will take some warming up once he finds his new home, but he is so worth it. He needs someone willing to be patient! He's very treat- and food- motivated, especially if you bribe him with cheese or a churu. We think he's bonded with Puppycat, and would acclimate smoother if they were kept together. One of their fees would also be waived. Like Puppycat, his favorite past time is to cuddle up alongside his bestie for a long nap. He also loves belly rubs!

Story
Bonded pair!! Puppycat is a big lover and will cuddle with you all day if you let him. He's partially blind and is a slightly older gentleman at 6 years old, but he still loves to play like a kitten. He prefers shiny toys because they're easily for him to see. He gets his name from his dog-ish traits like occasionally playing fetch, and acting as a guard dog by walking you from your vehicle to your house (if you decide to let him outside). His favorite past time is curling up with Sahara, whom we think he's bonded with. Sahara is also up for adoption, and if you decide to adopt both of these boys, one of their fees will be waived. Puppycat generally gets along with other cats, but will sometimes try to dominate one of our female cats despite being fixed. He's become more docile with age, but will thrive in a one-cat household or with only Sahara. If you adopt him and it does not work out, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
