Joey and Phoebe were found together as 5-6-week-old kittens, abandoned in a field. They are bonded and would like to be re-homed together. My family and I did our best to rescue them and care for them, but never intended to keep them long-term. We are looking for a great family for them to join!

Story
If you’re looking for a true lap cat, that’s me. When you settle down, I’ll be right there in your lap, purring away. Belly rubs? Yes, please! They make me rumble like a little engine. At night, I’ll curl up near your shoulder and stay close. I’m also an avid toy hunter. Toss a felt ball across the floor and I’ll snag it with a claw, then toss it up to catch again. I’m one of six Cratchit kittens from “A Christmas Carol,” raised with a senior cat and other kittens, so I’m social and sweet. I’d probably do just fine in a home with kids. Ready for a loyal snuggle buddy? I’m waiting for my fur-ever family to make your home complete! Est. DOB: Sept 11, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
I’m a bold, curious adventurer with a big personality! I love exploring every corner, chasing lasers, watching TV, and might even sometimes try to “help” you with your chores. I love fun—wrestling with siblings, hoarding toy mice, and zooming around. Sometimes I get carried away and may swat or nip gently, but never hard. I can be shy at first, but once I warm up, I’m all yours! When playtime’s over, I’m a big cuddle bug with a loud, happy purr. I do well playing on my own, but I’d do best with a young, playful friend for company. A home with dogs or older kids would be OK too! Looking for a feisty, playful, and affectionate companion who will keep you smiling and snuggling? I’m the one for you! Est. DOB: April 8, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
I’m an adorable tabbico with the sweetest face and a gentle heart. I might be a little shy at first but overall am an outgoing and fairly confident kitty! I’m not big on being held, but I adore a cozy lap and pets. I might even greet you at the door, seeking out attention! Playtime is my favorite—I’m always front and center for tunnels, spring toys, wand toys, and laser lights (especially those last two!). I love playing with my siblings and would really like a kitty friend to keep me company in my new home. With my gentle nature, I’d also likely do just fine in a home with older kids. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion, I’m your girl! Est. DOB: August 13, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

I’m a sweet, snuggly guy with a big heart and an even bigger purr! I love to be cuddled and brushed and am quick to purr when you pick me up. When I’m not soaking up the love, I’m all about playtime! Wand toys (my fuzzy wiggle worm is irresistible!), laser dots, and anything that rolls or makes noise are my favorites. I also go wild for uncommonly good handmade Alley Cats & Angels catnip kickers! But I’m not just a solo act. I love playing chase and wrestling with my kitty friends. I’d do best in a home with another high-energy kitty who enjoys a good tumble as much as I do. I’m a great eater too—wet food or kibble, I’m not picky. Let’s be best buds! Est. DOB: January 19, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
I’m a petite lady with the prettiest green eyes you’ve ever seen. Life outside was tough—I was skinny and had a funny bend at the end of my tail (don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt!). A kind person fed me until an AC&A volunteer brought me in. I’ve put on weight now, thanks to crunchy kibble (wet food? No thanks!). I have a soft, quiet mew I use when I’d like a snack or some love. I adore attention and will curl up near you at bedtime—as long as I’m the only kitty on the bed! I’m gentle, affectionate, and ready for a cozy forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion, I’m your girl! Est. DOB: November 7, 2018 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
We are moving in with family and they don’t allow any pets. We want to find a loving home that will adopt them together as they grew up together. Poppy is the calico and is very loving. She will sit by you all day for love and talks back when you call her Pop Pop. She is a bit skiddish and will go hide if someone comes in the door but will come out to greet them once they sit on the couch. Maxie is the brown tabby. She is curious and adventurous and always checks on her sister. She loves to come on your chest for some pets and enjoys a good tall cat tree and hair tie to play with. They were angels with my rambunctious toddler and they deserve someone who can center their lives around them.
