Story
these two bonded sweethearts will be a perfect addition to any family. Hi, my name is Corey. I love attention more than food and I love exploring! I was born with my 2 sisters in the back yard of our foster Mom and Dad's house. We've been tamed and even have Kitty Spa every night. What is Kitty Spa you might ask? We get brushed and loved on every night and watch tv. It's fun!! My name is Tirzah, tear-zah, which means delightful. Mom says my song is, Girls just want to have fun”!!! I love playing and cuddling. I’m very curious.March 16, 2025, 6:07 pm

Story
Meet Tiny – The Sweet & Shy Toilet Paper Bandit! Tiny is a gentle little guy with a big heart. At just under 9 pounds and around 1 year old, he’s a petite kitty who’s already neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for his forever home. Before arriving at his foster home, Tiny lived much of his early life outdoors without the care and comfort he deserved. Because of that, he’s still a bit shy and skittish in new environments and with new people. But with time, patience, and lots of love (and maybe some tasty lickable treats), he’ll slowly come out of his shell and begin to trust. Tiny is treat-motivated and warms up faster if you come bearing snacks. Once he feels safe, he reveals his playful side—he loves batting at ball track toys, chasing wand toys, and his absolute favorite pastime… unrolling toilet paper! He gets along well with other cats and even dogs once he has time to get to know them. Tiny is looking for a calm, patient family who can give him the time he needs to feel at home—and in return, he’ll bring a quiet charm and playful spirit to your life. Could you be the safe, loving home Tiny has been waiting for?June 16, 2025, 2:28 pm

Meet Tiger, a kitten with a heart full of curiosity and sweetness. His playful nature is contagious, lighting up the room with joy. He's friendly to all, greeting everyone with a gentle purr. Tiger's bravery shines through in his daily adventures, exploring every nook and cranny with his oversized ears perked up in interest.

His gentle, brave, and friendly demeanor is sure to fill your home with happiness and love. Adopt Tiger, and let his sweet, playful spirit brighten your life. If you're interested in two kittens his litter sister(and fellow tabby) Gigi would be a great addition, or his foster brother, Jack!June 16, 2025, 9:06 pm

Meet Oliver – Your Next Feline Best Friend! Oliver is a charming 2-year-old tabby with a heart as soft as his fur. He was recently returned through no fault of his own—his adopter sadly discovered they had allergies. Now, Oliver is back in foster care and ready to find his true forever home. This sweet boy is affectionate, curious, and full of personality. He loves lounging in sunny spots, chasing feather toys, and curling up next to his favorite human for some quality cuddle time. Oliver is litter-trained, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. He does great in a calm home and would thrive with someone who can give him lots of love and attention. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with big eyes and an even bigger heart, Oliver might just be the perfect match.

I will try to sum this situation up! Please bear with me! LOL Piper, the black cat, it’s an adult cat that has been raised with another cat that’s grown as well. She is in their second picture the tabby cat her name is Nala. That’s why I need to rehome these cats together. They were both owned by my daughter who passed away. They have been with me, but I can no longer care of them. They are shy until they get to know you it won’t take long. They are definitely indoor cats. They’ve never been outside and they are kitty litter trained. I’m not asking for a fee because I don’t care to sell them. I just care for them to go to a good home a loving decent home… I have two cat carriers, big bag of kitty litter, cat food, hard and soft. Please feel free to call or text to ask me any questions! My name is Andy 865-308-1731
