Story
This is Tuxee Bear and she is around 10 to 12 weeks or so old. She was trapped from part of the feral population that is in our neighborhood. She is still trying to warm up to domestic life and has made a lot of progress, she comes out into common areas now and will sleep/rest quietly and cautious around you. She will need patience and understanding, going at her speed of introduction but she is very very curious and you can see she really really wants to be part of what's going on. She is so adorable with her little white bobby socks, and milk moustache with a goatee. Watching her run around with her little white feet is hysterical. She has been fostered not only with her 2 siblings, Kora and Kaleeann but another litter also trapped in the neighborhood. She is being fostered in a home with large dogs, small dogs, and multiple other adult cats which she is slowly warming to. She is in a busy home with a very busy 5 year old which at this stage of domestication makes her a bit nervous. She is really playful and fun loving when she is comfortable in the space she's in. She has taken to the litter box well. I think she would do best in a quiet home with time to adjust and go at her own speed, I think with time, patience, and love she'll make a wonderful addition to a home that would love a more independent quiet little girl. As Tuxee will allow I'll attempt better pictures of her. Also I'm still only 95% that she is female, she's very private with her privates, lolJuly 10, 2026, 9:10 pm

Hi, I'm Amber! I'm independent, inquisitive, and very food motivated, which honestly just means I have great priorities. I love treats, I love getting into things, and I love a good wrestling match with my siblings. I'm still working on the whole being picked up thing, but sit on the floor with a treat and I will crawl right into your lap and purr my face off. I'm starting to truly understand how great human hands are and I'm here for it. I just like things on my own terms. Give me patience and snacks and I'm all yours. A little about this litter... These four came to us as feral kittens and have worked so hard to learn that people are pretty great. They still need a calm, patient home where they can come to you on their own terms, loud or busy environments will make that harder. They've never lived with dogs or other cats, and while that could work with time and slow introductions, it won't happen overnight. They are bonded and would do beautifully adopted in pairs if there's room for two!July 10, 2026, 9:10 pm

Story
Walnut is a sweet and spunky male kitten who loves people, playtime, and snuggles. he was born February 1, 2026. He greets his foster family at the door, enjoys wrestling with other kittens (Pistachio and Elvis), and happily curls up beside his humans at night. After spending the last two months in a foster home with dogs and cats, Walnut has become a well-socialized and adaptable kitten. We believe he would do well with people of all ages and would love a feline friend in his new home. Walnut has a sensitive digestive system and is currently thriving on a gentle prescription diet. As he grows, his future veterinarian can help find the food that works best for him. Walnut has been neutered and started his kitten vaccine series. He will need one additional vaccine to complete the series. With his loving personality and playful spirit, Walnut is ready to bring joy, companionship, and plenty of cuddles to his forever home.July 10, 2026, 9:10 pm

Story
Meet Wubs & Alley – A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Hi everyone! Our names are Wubs (male, orange and white) and Alley (female, full orange), and we’re a bonded brother-sister duo who must be adopted together. Wubs is the confident, affectionate half of our pair, and Alley is his sweet, shy shadow. Wherever Wubs goes, Alley is never far behind — you’ll often find them cuddled up together or exploring side by side. Their bond is truly special. Alley takes a little extra time to warm up. It took her about two months to fully open up and begin seeking out pets and affection. She gains confidence from Wubs and thrives with him by her side. Because of their deep connection, we believe Alley would not flourish if separated from her brother. Keeping them together ensures they both live their happiest, most confident lives. They are approximately 6 months old and are comfortable around dogs of all sizes as well as other cats. A quieter home would be ideal for them — they would do best in a calm environment rather than a busy or hectic household with young children. If you’re looking to welcome two sweet, bonded companions into your home and heart, Wubs and Alley may be the perfect match. July 10, 2026, 9:10 pm

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I am needing to rehome this sweet boy. His name is Hibiscus and he is almost 5 years old and his birthday is sometime in June of 2021. I originally got him from a shelter when he was 6 months and they weren’t sure on the birthday. He is super affectionate and lovable, loves head pets and rubbing his face on walls. He's very shy and anxious arounc strangers but once he gets to know you, he's very cuddly and will make biscuits on you. I have another cat who was in the hospital for a few days a little while ago and when I brought her back home he has been aggressive and attacking her. I have tried everything from scent swapping, no contact, feeding on opposite sides of the door, separating them with a gate, Feliway diffusers, etc and he still hates her and is aggressive toward her, so he will most likely need to be in a house with no other cats. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He also is on Prozac for his anxiety. Please let me know if anyone can take this sweet boy.

Toni was adopted in 2021 in Ohio. She's friendly and might be a little bit shy. We are looking for a new home for her due to a sudden relocation to west coast. We decided to looking for rehoming options considering the relocation process might be more stressful to her compared finding a new home.
