Story
I adopted Dobby as a kitten from someone who rescued him from outdoors. He is about 2 years old now. He is still very playful, and he can be sweet and cuddly when he wants to. He loves running around the house chasing the other cats. He loves fishing pole toys, and tunnels to hide and play in. An ideal home for him would have space for him to run around, and someone who had lots of time to play with him. He is curious, and wants to be able to check out any room that you go into.

Story
Jonah is a very sweet and affectionate boy. Unfortunately, since my husband and I moved in together, he has not gotten along with the three other cats (I have two and my husband has two). We are heartbroken, but as the situation has only gotten worse over the past year and none of our friends or family can take him, we are out of options. At 12 years old, Jonah is a senior cat and while he does not seem old, we do think he might have a touch of dementia. He will sometimes cry for no apparent reason and occasionally does not seem to groom himself as well as he used to. He would do best in a quiet home with no other pets and no children. Ideally, we would like him to be with one individual or a couple in a calm setting. He can be skittish and does not like loud people or noises. This said, once he warms up he's the sweetest boy and loves to be near you or lie on your lap or on your feet. He just needs a quiet, loving home with someone who will look after him and love him like we do.

Story
Nami is a 10-month-old blind kitten with a huge heart. She loves cozy naps, gentle pets, and calm, quiet spaces. Nami is very sweet and bonds deeply once she trusts you. She needs to be the only pet in the home, as she doesn’t get along with other cats or dogs. Nami has some anxiety (working on medication to help her) and a gum condition that requires dental cleanings every 6 months. She must stay indoors only and needs a stable, predictable environment. She’s up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to find a loving home that can support her special needs and give her all the love she deserves. ✨ Interested in giving Nami a safe, forever home? Please reach out! ✨

Story
George came into my life as a week old kitten in May 2024. I bottle fed and raised him along with his three siblings. He is a playful, sweet, snuggly, and affectionate companion who is bonded to his brother Jerry. The two of them have recently started causing issues with the other cats in my home. George specifically picks fights with the other cats in my home except Jerry. No amount of catification, litter boxes, feline plug-ins, or other interventional methods have helped. Because of this, I believe he and his brother Jerry will be happier together as the only two cats in a calm, indoor-only, loving environment. However, if an introduction is done slowly and patiently, he may adjust fine with new cats.

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Rikki is a 2-3 month old kitten that was found wandering and vulnerable in front of an empty residence in need of water, food, and safety when she was rescued because she was at risk of dying. Rikki needs a home where someone can make a commitment to her. I am not able to keep Rikki even though I rescued her because of pet policy restrictions where I live. Rikki is feisty and loves to pounce, and play with toys and other cats. She is litter trained and is very energetic. She eats dry and wet food with her favorite being wet food and snacks. Rikki would thrive well with a person that has had experience with kittens. She is currently being connected for vaccinations.

Story
Hello. My name is Loki. I am a two year old, handsome black cat. I am very loving with people. I don’t like living with my cat sisters. I would much prefer being an only child. I love to go outside and explore, but I don’t go far. My current parents can send supplies with me to get us started, if need be. I would love to meet you and come live with someone where there would be no other pets.

Story
Penny is a 6 year old tuxedo cat looking for a loving home. She loves chicken, treats, and almost any wet food. She is very friendly to people, but does not coexist well with other young or hyperactive cats. We love her very much but ultimately she would be happier in a home where she is the only cat!
