Story
Tinkerbell is a special kitty. She must have had a very hard life before she came into rescue. She will let you pet her but gets frightened so easy and may hiss at the same time. She is very unsure of herself and lacks confidence. She needs someone that will be patient with her love and willing to work with her. She has the greatest potential to be a wonderful Kitty. Our hope is there someone out there that can see the greatness in her that we can. She is good with other cats.April 30, 2024, 11:27 pm

Story
Meet Little Bit. She is a very shy, scared little girl who came from a traumatic situation. Little Bit was a gift for a little girl who was not taught to respect boundaries, therefore she needs to be in a home with no children. Little Bit's owner passed away, and she was there with her for quite some time before being discovered. After that, she was left all alone in the house for quite some time, where family members would stop by every few days to put out food and water for her. This went on for months, and this poor kitty became very withdrawn and frightened. Little Bit has been with her foster family for many months, and they have worked long and hard to earn her trust. Unfortunately, she has not quite reached her full potential as the loving kitty she so badly wants to be because she is terribly afraid of the other cats in the home. When there are no other cats around, her foster family is able to pet her and play with her. Little Bit needs a quiet home with no children or cats and her new person with the patience to slowly gain her trust. She wants so badly to be with her person for cuddles and playtime and the love she so deserves. When she allows herself to show through the shyness, she is quite the silly and clumsy c noharacter. She loves to drink from the faucet and is always interested in sampling a bite of whatever you are eating. Adopting her will be a commitment to patience and understanding, so please ensure you are willing to give her that in order to avoid further traumatizing her with multiple relocations. Once she learns to trust you, she will most certainly be the most lovable, loyal companion you can imagine.April 30, 2024, 11:27 pm

Story
This beautiful, petite, brown tabby girl is named Holly and she is about 6 months old. She has learned a lot of trust since coming to her foster home. She now wants you to pet her and hold her, but still gets nervous when you are walking by. She loves for you to sit on the floor as she approaches you to be pet and circles around you. She will sleep next to you on the bed at night. You will feel very happy and proud as you gain her trust and watch her come out of her shell. She has good litter box manners and would make an excellent play friend for another kitty.April 30, 2024, 11:27 pm

Story
We adopted Iris a little over 8 months ago. She is the sweetest and most affectionate cat however we have dogs (who are very familiar with cats as we have another cat) and she is so scared of them and hasn’t adjusted. She never leaves her hiding spot in her room and we just feel that we cannot provide her the quality of life she deserves. I have had my dogs years and years so unfortunately rehoming her is the best option for her. I think she would absolutely thrive in a home with no dogs. The only time she has really come out of her shell was when my dogs were at a sitter. I don’t take this decision lightly so anyone interested in adopting her we’d like to get to know and visit where she would be living.
