Story
Meet Kit (our all-American girl next door). Kit is shy and can be hesitant around new people - stray-kitten street life will do that to a girl - but with patience and gentleness, she warms up. And once she warms up? Oh. My. God. She becomes the sweetest sweetie pie you’ve ever met: 🐾 Walks you to the bathroom like the buddy system is her job. 🐾 Bonks her head into your hand for pets like “hello, it is I, your emotional support biscuit.” 🐾 Suckles her blankie ~ inner child healing 🐾 Cuddles your feet with the devotion of someone who has seen some things and has chosen you as her person. With Feliway and Attract litter, her anxiety has improved tremendously, and she thrives in calm homes where she can trust slowly and deeply. She’s grown up around other cats and tends to be the lowest in the social hierarchy, but when she’s lived alone, she’s really come out of her shell. If you’ve ever dreamed of a best-friendship with a tenderhearted little tabby, she's waiting to meet you ☺️

Story
Buds is an easy and endearing cat to care for. He is ~9 years old, sweet, happy, and affectionate. He loves to bond with gentle and kind adults, but he keeps his distance from our two year old son. He has never been aggressive toward children, even when provoked repeatedly. He simply keeps his distance. He prefers things to be calm and quiet. He likes attention and will often want to be close to us or sit on our lap. Buds is a great house cat for anyone looking for a loyal companion. Before welcoming Buds to your home, you will want to make sure you put away plastic bags laying out, because he has a bad tendency to chew on plastic bags, wrappers, etc. We keep our house pretty free from plastic, but if he does eat some plastic he typically throws up that day. Accidents can be kept to a minimum if plastic is avoided and the typical "sensitive stomach" variety of cat food is purchased (same price as normal). Otherwise Buds has a great health record!

Story
Millie has been in foster care for a while now. She is 4 years old and very sweet. We havent been able to test her with dogs or cats but with slow proper introductions we believe she will get along. She is owner surrendered and is in foster care right now. We havent had any behaviour problems with her and she is litterbox trained. If you are interested in adoption please fill out the Adopt A Pet application and we will be in touch. We can give you more history on this sweet little girl at that time.

Story
Grace is an absolutely wonderful cat. She is five years old and in perfect health. She is talkative, friendly and extremely affectionate. She loves to play, likes to sit with us on the sofa and sleeps at the end of our bed at night. She is perfectly house trained, and does not scratch or bite ever. She’s just a funny, lovely girl and I am really upset at the idea of rehoming her. We are moving to Dubai for my husband’s work and may move to yet another country after that. It’s just too far and too complicated and mostly unfair to Grace to drag her around the world. She is a very cozy at home cat. She’s very special. Please reach out with questions or if you’d like to meet this charming and lovely cat.

Story
my sweet little orange baby, Gina. She’s 2 years old, spayed, litter box trained and such a beautiful girl inside and out. Gina has the sweetest personality. She’s a very shy cat who loves to keep to herself, but she’s never mean or aggressive. She loves sitting in windows and watching the world outside, and she does well around both people and other cats. HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE She would do best in a calm, loving home where she can take her time to feel safe and comfortable. she’s such an easy, gentle little soul to have around.
