Say hi to Mozzarella! This beautiful black and white kitten has a few spots of orange on her. She gets along great with other kittens and loves to wrestle and play chase with them! She enjoys spring toys and feather wands as well. She is a little shy at first, but once she is comfortable with you, she will come over for snuggles and biscuit making.October 12, 2025, 7:04 pm

Meet Draco! He is a beautiful and very sweet tabby who LOVES to cuddle. Draco is a little scared of loud noises, but don’t let his shy demeanor fool you. He loves being picked up and will curl up on your lap, start purring, and making biscuits for hours! If you are looking for the ultimate lap cat then look no further!! He also has a sister, Ava, in rescue if you would like to give two soft bundles of fur a home this holiday!December 8, 2025, 10:31 pm

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pebbles is the shyest of the group and easily the most timid right now. She’s just beginning to come to her foster for quiet moments and gentle reassurance, but she will need continued socialization and a patient, understanding home. Pebbles will do best with someone who can let her move at her own pace and celebrate small wins. With time, consistency, and love, this sweet girl has the potential to blossom into a trusting companion.December 15, 2025, 11:40 am

Story
Meet Simon (aka Charlie), a very outgoing lovable boy who is in search of his furever home. Full of character, he would love to go into a home with his friend Raven, but as long as there is another friend he can snuggle with, he will be happy. He is a bit of a ‘crazy kitten’, who is very food motivated and litter box trained! He has so much energy, he spends a lot of time running around the house or on his wheel. He will be available after Dec 19, and would love to find a family who will love on him forever!December 15, 2025, 9:36 pm

Sylvester is a sweet little boy who is friendly, curious and playful. He lives in a home with other cats and his brother, Chunk. He is playful curious and loving. Please consider adopting him with his brother, because they are the best of playmates. I feel like both kitties will do great in any household (noisy or quiet) and can adapt to any situation.

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I adopted Mr. Chonk when he was a whomping 20-25lbs. In the year that I have had him he has come a long a way at a solid 17lbs so still a long way to go. He is a fantastic boy with an amazing cuddley demeanor I have to rehome him because he does not get along with the female cat in the home. He does, however, mostly get along with the male cats. He would thrive in a single pet home where he gets all the attention that he believes he deserves.

Biscuit is 10 years old and I am unfortunately not able to keep her, as she is not getting along with my girlfriends cat. She is a very very sweet and cuddly kitty. If she has a place to nap and gets some scratches she is in heaven.
