Story
He arrived in March of 2023 after his owner was displaced from home. He's very untrusting and hides under blankets but loves attention. He had no socialization before coming to us. It will take a calm, patient home for him to decompress and feel comfortable. He's good with other cats, not dog tested.

Story
Luna, what a sweet, young, beautiful girl. She's approximately 1-1/2 years old and is still quite playful. She can also be a bit shy until she gets to know you. Luna was living in an abandoned house when she was just a wee kitten. She had an upper respiratory infection and was malnourished when I brought her to the rescue. She's now a happy, healthy, sweet girl who gets along with other Cats.

This little man is all boy! He was dumped all alone out in the county when he was only 4 weeks old. The Good Samaritans whose house he was dumped at heard him crying at 5:30 am and went out to their porch to find him clinging to their cat statue.
