Story
Meet Quokka: A Shy Softie with a Playful StreakQuokka is a 2-year-old neutered male with sleek black fur and a gentle but reserved nature. He can be shy when first settling in, but once he feels safe, his playful side bursts through—turning him into a toy-destroying machine with plenty of zoomies and curiosity to spare.This quirky boy is currently on Hill’s C/D Urinary Care diet and may need to remain on it to stay healthy. He does have a habit of chewing and trying to eat toys, so supervised play and sturdy enrichment options are a must. Despite his quirks, Quokka’s energy and charm make him an endearing companion.Quokka must go to a home with another cat—he absolutely thrives with feline friends, finding comfort and confidence in their presence. In a calm, patient household with a playful companion and safe toys, this shy softie will blossom into a hilarious, affectionate cat who’s as entertaining as he is lovable.

Story
Meet Enid – A Mysterious Beauty With a Big PersonalityEnid is a striking black cat with a bold spirit and a mind of her own. She’s independent, confident, and full of character—definitely not your average house cat. Enid prefers to be the only feline in the home, as she’s not a fan of sharing her space or her humans.She would do best in a calm environment with older kids (12+) who can respect her boundaries and recognize when she’s had enough attention. Enid can get overstimulated at times, but with a patient and understanding adopter, she’ll show her softer side on her own terms.She’s also a bit picky with her meals, but that’s just part of her charm—Enid knows what she likes and expects her people to keep up!If you appreciate cats with confidence, attitude, and a touch of mystery, Enid might just be your perfect match.

Story
Minun and Plusle. These two sweet siblings started life as feral kittens, but their journey has already shown just how resilient—and loving—they can be. After spending time in a patient, nurturing foster home, they’ve learned that the world isn’t such a scary place. They now coexist comfortably with other cats, have learned that dogs aren’t so bad after all, and have even discovered that children can be wonderful playmates.Playful and independent, they love exploring, chasing toys, and curling up in cozy spots of their choosing. While they may still be a bit cautious at first, their progress has been remarkable, and they continue to blossom a little more every day.With a gentle, understanding family, these kittens will keep building trust and confidence. They’re ready for a home that will appreciate their spirited personalities, celebrate their milestones, and give them the space and love they need to fully shine.Two tiny explorers looking for their forever adventure—could it be with you? They can be adopted together, or separately but would love a feline playmate!

Story
Meet Manectric – The Independent Snack-Driven Shadow Friend Manectric is a spayed female with a quiet presence and a strong survival story. She started out feral and spent part of her journey fending for herself, so she can be very shy at first. Don’t expect instant cuddles—she observes the world from the edges before stepping in.Manectric’s love language is snacks and wet food. She will approach when treats are involved and is bravely motivated by a good snack payoff. Friendship treaty = placed down, quacked out, and delivered on time.She loves being pet—on her own terms. When she wants affection, she leans in, soaks it up, and when she’s done, she calmly walks away. No drama. Just boundaries and self-care.Manectric prefers a home with other cats and enjoys making gentle friendships. She likes having a buddy system and would love to choose her own social circle in a cat-friendly home.If you’re ready for a shy, snack-negotiated, pet-on-my-schedule, walk-away-when-full kind of feline… Manectric is ready to make friends her way.
