Story
Hati (Ha-tee) is a curious, confident, and friendly kitten. She is a mix of domestic shorthair and American Bobtail with a long tail. She’s got a white heart on her shoulder and a lightning bolt on her arm, which suits her personality to a tee.She loves exploring and is vocal about when she’s ready for play, attention, and food. She’s affectionate, smart, and has a high play drive. Hati loves playing with her wubba toy and would be an exceptional candidate for clicker training. She plays fetch and is treat (Churu) motivated. Hati is not afraid of the handheld vacuum at all and will help you sweep up messes. She will climb on your shoulders to hang out and purr.If you’re looking for a kitten who literally wears her heart on her sleeve and has lightning fast reflexes — she’s your girl.We will continue to provide medical care (scheduled vaccines and spay) while she's in our home. As of today 7/11/26 she is intact, 11 weeks old, and scheduled for her 4th round of FVRCP vaccines on 7/23/26.

Raven is a very very sweet girl, she will be one years old on the 15th of July. She is very clingy, she’s not like other cats, she doesn’t like to go outside, if you call her name if she on something she shouldn’t be she will get down. She’s not messy and she loves her dry food( fancy feast) that’s the only one we found that she actually likes.

Story
Urgent Rehoming Needed About a year ago, my daughter found a cat and brought her home. Since then, we have been caring for her, but unfortunately we are no longer able to keep her and need to find her a loving home as soon as possible. She is friendly and has been an indoor cat during her time with us. She has not been vaccinated and has not been spayed. We are looking for a responsible and caring person or family who can give her the attention and permanent home she deserves. Please contact me if you are interested or would like more information.

She's super cuddly, has the littlest meows possible lmao She loves the zoom around and run up things. She loves to sit with you watching TV and cuddle while you're sleeping! Dog friendly but they have to defend themselves because as a typical orange cat... she'll smack them 😂 She strongly prefers pine pellet litter! Super friendly with strangers

Story
Max is estimated to be around 8–10 months old. I rescued him as a stray in December 2025 along with his sister, Valerie, who I am also looking to rehome. I originally hoped to keep them, but unfortunately my senior cat has not adjusted well to them, so I’m looking for a home where they can thrive. Max is a more shy and reserved cat at first. He loves hiding under blankets and pillows and finding cozy little spots to nap. While he is not as outwardly affectionate as his sister, once he warms up to you he will come seek out pets and attention on his own terms. He is very playful and curious and loves to climb and explore. He is also quite the bug hunter. His favorite toys are ping-pong balls and fake mice, and he can entertain himself for hours chasing them around. I would love for Max and Valerie to stay together since they’ve been raised side by side, but I am open to separating them for the right homes.

Story
Mocha was my grandmothers cat, and lived with an older dog at the time. The two got along as far as I am aware, but I don't know all of the details about that relationship. She did have one previous owner who had surrendered her to a shelter. That owner indicated she does get along with other cats, but currently does not seem to be a fit with my resident cat. The two are cordial through a closed door, but after a few months they have made no progress despite following suggested introduction advice. Mocha herself is a very loving and trusting girl. She has had no issues getting along with me, or with any friends and family that have come over to see her. She does like to climb and play, with a string toy being her favorite. She almost always sleeps on or next to me at night. She also enjoys watching what's happening outside through a window. She can be pretty vocal near meal times, though I believe she was open fed before and is still adjusting to set meal times.

These cats are in Austin, Texas too!

Story
(At Tomlinsons in Manor)Peachy Patches 🍑🐾Some cats earn their names the moment you see them, and Peachy Patches is one of them. Her stunning coat looks as though it was painted with soft brushstrokes of warm peach, muted gold, and tabby markings, creating a beautiful patchwork pattern unlike any other cat we've met. When the sunlight hits her fur, those peachy tones seem to glow, making her look like a living work of art. That's exactly how she earned the name Peachy Patches—a perfect combination of her sweet personality and her one-of-a-kind patchwork coat.Peachy Patches is the kind of cat who believes no one should ever have to come home to an empty greeting. She'll happily meet you at the door, ready to welcome you back and hear all about your day. This social girl loves people and enjoys being part of whatever is happening in the house.One of her most charming traits is her love of conversation. Peachy Patches talks to her humans, talks while she's exploring, and occasionally seems to have thoughtful discussions with herself. Her sweet chirps, trills, and meows make it feel like you're sharing your home with a tiny furry roommate who always has something important to say.She's also wonderfully cat-friendly and enjoys the company of other felines, making her an excellent companion for a home with resident cats or one looking to add another social kitty to the family. Friendly, confident, and full of personality, Peachy Patches brings warmth, laughter, and companionship wherever she goes.If you're looking for a cat who will greet you, chat with you, and fill your home with love, Peachy Patches may be the perfect addition to your family. 💕🐱Thank you for considering adopting one of our kittens/cats.
