Story
This is Hera. I would say she is 4-5 years old. She was a stray I had been feeding for a while and brought in a few months ago. She is extremely sweet and will follow you around like a little shadow. She is very food motivated so she’s a chunky girl. She’s very friendly and very talkative. She is litter box trained and up to date on vaccines. I haven’t had a chance to get her spayed yet. Unfortunately she doesn’t get along with my other 2 cats so I am having to re-home her ASAP. I do believe she would do a lot better in an only cat household.

Story
Nyx is a gorgeous 2-year-old calico with a tender heart and a quiet soul. She’s done an amazing job raising her two kittens and is now ready to find a patient, understanding family of her own. We don’t know her full story, but it’s possible Nyx was abused in her past. Because of that, she’s very cautious around people. She’s not a lap cat and prefers to keep her distance most of the time. When she does allow gentle head scratches, she may tremble or squint—signs of her learning that touch can be kind. She might hiss when scared, but she doesn’t mean any harm. Nyx needs someone special—someone willing to give her space, offer quiet reassurance, and even a little “forced love” to remind her that she’s safe and cared for. With time and patience, Nyx has the potential to build trust and settle into a peaceful home. A 2–3 months foster-to-adopt option is available to help her transition at her own pace. To adopt Nyx, please submit an adoption application online. ##2550727##

Story
Jogie is your very own mini black panther, full of elegance and affection. Around 4 years young, she absolutely adores everyone she meets. Pets, cuddles, and soaking up attention are her favorite things in the world. Jogie loves lounging on cat towers and perching on high spots where she can survey her kingdom. She has a naturally confident, dominant personality—while she’s generally fine around other cats, she would likely shine brightest as the only spoiled fur child in the home.
