Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Noir is a little enigma wrapped in sleek, midnight-black fur. With eyes that gleam like hidden treasures in the moonlight, this sweet, shy kitten has a story to tell, but she's waiting for just the right person to help her share it. Though she may be a little timid at first, don’t let that fool you; there’s a heart of gold beneath her mysterious exterior. Noir has all the makings of a perfect companion for someone willing to take the time to understand her quiet nature. She loves curling up in a safe, cozy spot, where she can observe her surroundings, taking in the world at her own pace. In time, with patience and kindness, she’ll slowly open up, revealing her playful side and her sweet, gentle demeanor. Her soft purrs are like a secret melody, gentle but warming, and once Noir feels at home, you’ll find her snuggling up beside you, offering her love and trust one paw at a time. A patient home without too much hustle and bustle is ideal, where Noir can gradually build her confidence and begin to flourish. She needs someone who can give her the time she deserves and shower her with love at her own pace. If you’re someone who enjoys the thrill of a mystery and the reward of watching a shy little soul grow, then Noir might just be your perfect match. In return for your patience, she’ll offer you a loyalty as deep as the night sky and a companionship that’s truly special. Will you be the one to bring this quiet, enchanting kitten out of her shell and into her happily-ever-after? Noir's adoption fee is $75.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Every Halloween tale needs a touch of magic, and that’s where Tarot comes in! This enchanting black kitten may look like a tiny shadow slipping between the pumpkins, but behind those wide golden eyes lies a heart as soft and sweet as a caramel apple. Tarot can be a little shy when first meeting new friends—she prefers to peek out from behind the couch before making her grand entrance—but once she feels safe, her true magic shines through. She adores gentle pets, cozy blankets, and quiet moments spent watching the world from her favorite perch. Why you’ll fall under her spell: Her purrs are soft as whispers under a full moon, and she’s a loyal little companion once you earn her trust. Her silky black coat gleams like starlight; she’s basically Halloween elegance in kitten form! All Tarot needs is a calm, patient home where she can bloom at her own pace. With a bit of love and understanding, she’ll become the sweetest familiar you could ever wish for. Bring a little mystery and a lot of love into your life this Halloween season—adopt Tarot, the shy little kitten with a heart full of magic. Let a little black cat bring good fortune into your home.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Jack is an adventurous, intelligent, and affectionate fellow who is sadly looking for a new home due to his owner's allergies. He's curious and sociable; he follows people around the house and loves sleeping on your lap or by your legs at night. He is leash trained and loves both the indoors and outdoors, though outdoor walks do require patience sometimes when he walks at his own pace. He's a big fan of YouTube TV for cats and tries hard to catch the bugs....he instantly recognizes the YouTube sound when it turns on. He's great with dogs! Jack's adoption fee is $75.
