Story
Frankie blue eyes is a stray that rolled up in March. Looks to be about two years old. He is a super sweet cat and I can’t stand him out there running the streets any longer. I do not have the funds to get him vetted since I have five indoor cats if my own. He is staying in the kitty condo outside but this is no place to spend his life. He has been eating well and petted a few times a day. Please come and adopt him today!

Story
Valerie is 2 - 3 years old; we are not sure. She was found outside in a cat colony where a rescue group was feeding. But Valerie was very tame and affectionate. Her foster family describes her as the sweetest, most loving cat. She loves to be picked up and rubs her head against your neck. She is living with other cats in her foster home and would probably prefer a more calm environment. She wants all of the attention from her humans. She did test positive for feline FIV but negative for leukemia. She can live as long as cats which do not have the disease (please check online), cannot spread to to other pets unless there is a deep bite (not spread through grooming, sharing food, water or litter boxes) and cannot spread to humans.

Story
King George was found as a hungry stray cat. His weight was about 8 lbs but now that he is being fed, he is likely to get to 10+. His estimated age is 7 years, middle age for a cat. He is super sweet and friendly, gentle and affectionate. Plus, he is a gorgeous hunk! Look at those golden eyes. He would make a wonderful pet for any family. He has tested positive for FIV, but that is not a deadly disease in cats. He cannot spread FIV to humans or other cats unless there was a deep bite, which is not in King George's nature. Please read about the condition online.Contact us for an application.

Story
Peanut is about 6 years old and has to be rehomed since her owner moved to assisted living. Peanut is gentle and sedate. She has lived with other cats in the past. She is the type of cat who will not cause any trouble, but she does want affection on her own terms and lets you know nicely if she is being overstimulated. Peanut would do well in a quiet household, preferably with older owners.

Sierra is a sweetheart! She is about 3 years old (estimated) and weighs about 7.5 lbs. She is very friendly and affectionate. When you visit her, she will be right with you to be petted and stroked. She has good manners and is gentle with her claws and paws. She recently weaned her kittens, which came with her to our facility and are now ready to be adopted as well. Sierra deserves a home of her own.

Story
Fitz (male), Lil (female) and Phil (male) are 3 adorable kittens who almost didn't make it after their mother died when they were only 3 weeks old. They were lovingly bottle fed and given medicine. Now they are healthy, affectionate and playful. They are eating wet and dry kitten food and using the litter box like champions. They can be adopted separately or together, but our greatest wish is that they not be separated. They will be getting their first vaccines shortly, and be spayed and neutered at about 4 months old. Anyone who adopts them while they are still this young must be experienced with small kittens, have a vet reference and promise to bring them to our clinic for their vet services. NOTE: In the primary photo, the gray tabby kitten on the front left has already been adopted.

Adopted in Nov. Of 2022. She's very sweet and loving and she has been my whole world for 6 months. Real Estate developers came and bought our apartments and threw us all out with just 30 days notice. On SS no way I can find anyone to rent to me so as of Sunday night I'm living in my car. Cats can't live in cars so I need a place for her. Thank you.

Story
Free* I have 2 more precious babies left that will need to be placed in their forever homes! Breaks my heart to have to part with them! But I can't keep them due to pet policy. They are absolute sweethearts!! Very playful, a little shy right now(they're young/5wks), loves to snuggle up and cuddle... These 2 handsome tuxedo kittens are boys. They're so loveable and silly, and just absolutely precious. And they have the best temperaments! They are litter trained, drinking water, and can eat dry kitten food now, along with a little wet can food. Need a good loving home with a stress free environment! They're very close, so it'd be even better if they could be adopted together... Pls message me or share! These babies deserve a sweet home! ♡🥲

Story
contact foster parent at haleyagoss@gmail.comHi there - my name is Ida! I`m a 2-year-old tabby girl and have spent about half of my life in the shelter or foster care. My foster Mom says I`m an excellent house supervisor and a great buddy overall. I like to follow her and my foster Dad around the house to make sure they`re doing everything correctly. I`m a good `helper`. I`ll even follow them outside to make sure the gardening is done to my standards (I only sometimes get distracted by a squirrel or chipmunk).I have a lot of energy and like to play with feathers, chase balls or run through my tunnel. I admit that I get bored sometimes and have to give my foster Mom a gentle leg bite to remind her to play with me. I`m super smart and can crack a puzzle feeder no problem!I don`t like other animals in my house and kids are too unpredictable for me. I`d love to have one or two adults to be my new forever family. I`m still learning to love being held and getting pets, but either way, I like to be around my foster Mom and Dad. Whatever room they`re in - that`s where you`ll find me!Sometimes I get overwhelmed and attack my own tail. Luckily, my foster Mom gives me a calming supplement every day that seems to help. I can still get a little feisty sometimes, but I`m okay with getting a manicure to minimize the damage (and still look fabulous!). I`m super loyal. It takes me a while to trust new people, but once I do I`ll love you forever! I`d love a home with space to roam and get comfy. My foster Mom is calm, but firm with me, and we have a good routine, which keeps me in a good mood. I like to think I`m independent, but really my tough exterior is just hiding a gooey middle. Do you want to be my new pawrents?
