Story
Tiny Tank’s story started right before July 4th when he ran up to us from the street, immediately crawling up our legs, and perching on our shoulders. We immediately took him in due to how malnourished he looked and weren’t sure if he would make it. Within a week he was gaining weight and showed his playful nature. And after a couple weeks he was full interacting with my other two cats and showed a lot of interest in sleeping on our laps. He is the most loving kitten and even puts up with our large puppy. Tank would be good with anyone from a first time cat owner to an experienced cat owner. His favorite thing to do is flips when he’s playing and his favorite past time is definitely eating.

Story
Hi my name is Minnie Pearl! I got my name because I am a tiny kitten with shiny black hair,green eyes and so beautiful. I love to cuddle and be sweet but also very playful and love attention. I enjoy running around playing with toys and other friendly cats. With me being so small I am quite afraid of large rambunctious dogs but would be ok with one that is a smaller breed like me:). Im all black with stunning green eyes. I am very smart and affectionate. I am looking for a family that will take the best care of me and give me lots of love and attention.I had a rough start as a baby. I was rescued from a yard at 4 weeks old. With love and care from my foster mom I was nursed back to perfect health. I will likely always be small.I am an inside only kitten and no declaw.

Story
Hi, my name is Baloo! I was found following my owners eldest cat as a kitten. I have been loved and cared for this entire time but unfortunately care for me is very minimal and my family lives in apartments, so housing me and their other four cats is overwhelming for my owners. I love to play outside, with other cats and even dogs but some of the neighbors dogs have been too aggressive. I love to play; I enjoy a good belly rub & cuddles. I hope to find a forever home that will care for me as strongly as ive been cared for here & I hope to find another cat friend I can play with. Im an absolute sweetheart & would bring your home all the joy in the world. I also have the cutest squeaky meow you will ever hear 💜 Thank you for considering me to be apart of your family 😸😻

Story
Cocoa was born from a stray that was rescued off the street while they were pregnant. She is 6 months old and very very sweet. She adores to be cared around and sleeping with you. She loves to cuddle on the couch. She great at catching flies from windowsills. She loves to play with kids, other cats, and dogs. She comes from a very active/busy home. I think she would do well truly in any home, she is an inside cat and has never been outside. She knows how to use a litter box but does have difficulty always using the box, sometimes she will go potty on carpeted areas.

Story
Blaze was found as a stray and I took him in immediately due to his condition. Thankfully, with already owning cats & a trip to the groomers, I was able to nurse him back to health with ease. Now he is this bright, energetic, & chatty little baby boy. He loves cuddles and will even demand them! He does very well with other cats (I have 2 adult males). He is very needy at times and I recommend him to anyone with already owning cats and/or plenty of time for lovin’! ❤️
