Story
  Meet Gracie, a tiny girl who came into rescue skinny and expecting kittens, even though she was barely more than a kitten herself. The good samaritan who was trying to help her said she was regularly climbing trees to escape stray dogs and coyotes in the area.  Gracie is petite, with the cutest tiny feet and a heart shape on her little nose! She absolutely adores people and makes friends with everyone.  While Gracie is not really a lap cat, she thrives on human companionship and wants to be near her people all the time. Gracie's foster dad works from home several days a week, and he reports that she is an excellent administrative assistant, walking across his keyboard to "correct" his work, making  popular guest appearances on Zoom calls and "sorting" papers for him. She loves to play with a pen or a paper clip, too!  Gracie's ideal home will be with people who are often around to keep her company. She is good with respectful older children and with slow introductions, we think she could easily live with cat-savvy dogs. (There are two in her foster home.) While she does prefer to be the only cat, Gracie has lived with other tolerant cats.  Gracie is about 2 years old, spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines. She would love to meet you and add you to her list of favorite humans.  November 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

Story
Meet Gumbo, a 4-year-old feline with a big personality and an even bigger appetite! This feisty guy knows what he likes and isn’t afraid to show it, but once he warms up, you’ll see his sweet and affectionate side shine through. Gumbo prefers the company of humans over other pets and would thrive best in a home without dogs and ideally as the only cat, though he has peacefully coexisted with feline companions in the past. He enjoys being near his people (even if he's not always in the mood to be pet) and makes a wonderful, loyal companion. Gumbo is full of character and love - just waiting for the right home to call his own!
