Story
Sometimes life changes in ways we can't control — that's how this sweet boy found himself here, looking for a second chance. At just 2 years old, Clover was surrendered when his previous owner's housing situation changed, and now he’s adjusting to a world that feels unfamiliar. Shy by nature, Clover prefers quiet corners and cozy hiding spots where he can feel safe. But give him time, patience, and a little understanding, and you'll start to see glimpses of the gentle soul underneath. He may not be the first to greet you, but he notices the small kindnesses — a soft voice, a slow blink, a treat left nearby. Clover would do best in a calm, quiet home with someone willing to go at his pace. Once he learns to trust, we believe he’ll make a loyal and loving companion. It is vital that Clover goes home with another friendly and confident cat. He comes out of his shell more with feline companionship. If you believe love is something worth waiting for, this shy boy might just be the one for you.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Glenda is a beautiful 4-year-old torbie—a unique mix of tabby and tortoiseshell—with a personality as special as her coat. She’s more of a “roommate” cat than a lap cat, enjoying her independence while still appreciating gentle affection on her terms. Glenda will happily accept pets but will politely let you know when she’s had enough. She came to us as a stray, so we don’t have a history of how she does with other cats, dogs, or kids. From what we’ve seen, she seems to prefer a calm, quiet home without other pets or young children. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion who values personal space, Glenda might be the perfect match for you! Glenda is available to meet at Petco!

Story
Skye is a beautiful 10-year-old gray lady with a gentle soul. She’s declawed and has a shy nature at first—but once she learns to trust you, her sweet personality shines through. Skye is fine living with other cats, but because of her timid temperament, she may struggle in homes with dogs or young children. If you’re looking for a quiet, low-key companion who will blossom with patience and love, Skye could be the perfect match for you.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Binx Binx is a five-year-old female who’s mastered the art of being your sweetest shadow. She’s social, affectionate, and loves being near people—whether curled up beside you, chirping for attention, or snoozing through a lazy afternoon. She’s the kind of cat who makes a house feel like home. Binx has Feline Leukemia Virus (FELV), which means her immune system needs extra care. FELV does not affect humans, dogs, or other non-feline pets. With good nutrition, regular vet visits, and a calm home, FELV+ cats can live happy, comfortable lives—sometimes for many years. Binx needs to be indoor only, either no other cats or FELV+ housemates, a calm, low-stress environment, proactive vet care and good nutrition. The most important? Plenty of love and cozy spots to nap Binx is affectionate, resilient, and ready to be someone’s heart cat. Adopting a FELV+ kitty is an act of kindness that truly changes a life—and she’ll repay you with companionship, gratitude, and endless purrs. If you’re looking to give a deserving cat a safe, loving home, Binx is waiting with an open heart.

Story
Falcon is a stunning 10-year-old tan and black tabby with a big personality and an even bigger voice! This lovely lady knows what she wants—affection—and she’s not shy about asking for it. When she wants love, you’ll know! Falcon prefers to be the queen of her castle, so she doesn’t do well with other cats. Hyper dogs and young kids may be a bit too much for her, so a calm, quiet home would be ideal. She is declawed, so it’s absolutely necessary that she be an indoor-only cat.
