Story
Available: Now Bunny lived her entire life outdoors until she was found under a crawlspace where she gave birth. Her babies are grown up and now she's looking for a home of her own! Bunny is NOT friendly at first, it takes her a very long time to open up as she is still learning to trust people. She does love to play with young cats and kittens. She would love to find a farm or indoor/outdoor home!  Kitty's adoption fee covers spay or neuter, rabies vaccine, age-appropriate distemper vaccines, FeLV/FIV test, flea treatment, microchip & registration and dewormer. We believe that kitties need a feline friend! For their health and happiness, we highly recommend that kitties be adopted in pairs. If you adopt more than one kitty, you will receive a discount of $25 per kitty. Previous adopters will receive a $25 discount on their new kitty. If this will be your first kitty, we suggest that you check out this site for a lot of important information: Cat Adoption Checklist. People think cats are easy pets, but they are very unique and there is a lot to learn. There is a lot of information online, and you are always welcome to ask us our advice. You'll want to make sure you have all the basic supplies before you bring a baby home: nutrious food, bowls (not plastic), litter, litter pan, litter scoop, toys, scratchers & cat trees, nail clippers and a cat carrier. ##1913766##

Story
Available: Now! DOB: 6/27/23 Tessa has been really busy working on her dunk. When this little bobcat isn't trying out for the WNBA, she enjoys hanging out with her kitten pal (Henry). She is a quiet and polite little girl who loves laps, other kitties, toys, snuggles, and is ready to find her forever family! She is SUPER food motivated, so her adopter is going to have to keep an eye on her weight. Kitty's adoption fee covers spay or neuter, rabies vaccine, age-appropriate distemper vaccines, FeLV/FIV test, flea/tick treatment, microchip & registration and de-wormer. For their health and happiness (and your sanity!), we highly recommend that kitties be adopted in pairs. If you adopt more than one kitty, you will receive a discount of $25 per kitty. Previous adopters will receive a $25 discount on their new kitty. Tessa and Henry really love each other and would love to be adopted together! ##1789423##

Story
AVailable now! Date of Birth: 2/18/21 Princeton was adopted out as a kitten and through no fault of his own, was returned to us. Princeton is a VERY big boy that loves being petted and giving head-butts, and also loves to play! But when he's mad, he can be quite rough, so he is NOT recommended for young kids. He needs pet parents that will be loving but firm with him, similar to a dog.Princeton takes a couple weeks to warm up to new people and pets, but once he loves you, he is your absolute best friend and will want to be a part of everything you do.

Story
Available now! Date of Birth: 7/3/22 Steve is a very small dude with a huge personality. He had a rough start to life, catching panleukopenia (kitty parvo) and being found in a construction site at the last minute, but he is a warrior and beat all the odds! Steve is as sweet as can be, he absolutely adores people and will greet all your visitors. He loves to play, cuddle and wants constant attention. Although Steve is the perfect kitty, he has just one flaw. Steve is incontinent, and despite trying his very best to use the litter box, he will leave little "tootsie rolls" around without realizing it. This one flaw has left him overlooked while all his littermates have long been adopted. Steve would do fantastic as an outdoor farm kitty or at an indoor/outdoor home with some patient parents.

Story
Beautiful Magnolia " My foster mom loves me, and I have made great progress because of it."  Magnolia will be best as your one and only kitty. Magnolia is very lucky, she is being cared for by a wonderful foster who knows how to treat her and make her become her best self. After a few weeks Magnolia has the run of the condo, she sits by the patio door and was watching the hummingbirds feed. Follows foster everywhere ( she does think food has something to do with that!) She picks her up often and it may be only for a very short time but it is progress. Magnolia with sit with foster mom but prefers not to be petted. Loud noises and sudden movements upset her still. Magnolia will pick her favorite toys out of her basket and plays with them often!  Magnolia might not become a lap cat, but a companion cat that will sit next to you and show her love this way is good too! Foster mom can't say enough about the progress this kitty has made in the time she has had her!!! We think this progress with continue with the right adopter who understands a cat like Magnolia and works with her on kitty time, not human time.   ##1775393##

This is Vlad. He is a 10 month old tabby. He is a very loving sociable baby. I got him from a very bad situation where he was starved and neglected for weeks. Unfortunately my older cat does not like other cats and we did not know until after getting Vlad, and it is not fair to either of them. I am his 3rd home. And I really want to find his forever home. He comes with everything he needs.
